Crawley not aware of Stokes’ ‘weak men’ comments

When Ben Stokes claimed that his dressing room is “not a place for weak men,” opener Zak Crawley suggested he wasn’t aware of the comments made.

Following England’s defeat earlier this month in the second Ashes Test against Australia, Stokes repeatedly made the statement in interviews.

Stokes claimed he had let his message “drift around” his players ahead of the third Test, in which England are expected to be defeated to lose the series as soon as possible.

The all-rounder said, “I’ve done all the talking that I needed to have done over the past two days.”

Crawley, however, responded to his comments after scoring 85 on the third day of the third Test in Adelaide.

“I didn’t notice or was not really anticipating it.” We pinch the media’s claims with a pinch of salt.

After England were defeated by Brisbane by a score of 2-0, Stokes made the “weak men” comment.

After the second and third Tests, the England squad took a trip to Noosa.

Stokes claimed that his team had had “roached” conversations prior to this Adelaide match. In order for the series to continue, the captain also instructed his players to “show a bit of dog.”

However, Crawley for Kent claimed that Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum’s messaging had stayed consistent with what had happened during their previous three years in charge.

Crawley’s dismissal late on Saturday was a key component of Australia’s off-spinner Nathan Lyon’s crucial triple-strike.

England lost 207-6 on the wane chasing a 435-run target with three wickets in 20 deliveries from Lyon.

In order to take a three-match lead of 3-0, Australia will need four wickets on Sunday’s final day.

England will lose 18 Tests, extending their winless streak to four, and suffer their fourth straight away Ashes series defeat.

England lost their first two Test matches in two and four days, so this series will be finished in 11 days of cricket.

The location of the urn has not been decided sooner since 1921, when Australia won the war in England in eight days. In addition, Australia has won in 11 days on two other occasions in the 21st century.

Crawley remarked, “It’s disappointing.” We are now staring down the barrel because we won the Ashes.

“We’ll definitely view it that way because there will still be plenty to play for.”

Ollie Pope appears to be under enormous pressure to take his place in Melbourne’s fourth Test, despite Crawley’s knock in Adelaide likely raising questions about his near-term future with the England team.

Pope’s poor performance against Australia continued with a 17-game suspension in England’s second innings on Saturday.

The Surrey man averages 17.62 in 16 Ashes innings, never making a half-century.

Only one other English player has featured in the top six as many times as they have in Ashes Tests and had a lower average since 1900, Dennis Amiss, the other player.

However, Crawley argued that any suggestion that Pope is being questioned comes from “you guys” – that is, the media, not the camp itself.

We all know what a talented player he is, “added Crawley.” If I’m being honest, he had a good year.
