WELLINGTON (AFP) – Captain Ben Stokes said yesterday that England’s dominant displays in New Zealand shows they have quality in abundance coming through ahead of next year’s Ashes.
The visitors clinched the three-Test series with a game to spare, crushing the Black Caps in Wellington by 323 runs to follow their emphatic eight-wicket win.
With bowling greats Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad retired, Stokes said he was excited about the strike weapons now at his disposal.
Along with veteran seamer Chris Woakes, they outplayed their counterparts in New Zealand conditions.
“When you have a bowling attack like we’ve been able to field in these first two games, with the point of difference when it’s required, is massive for us,” Stokes said.
