Adelaide: England AllRounder Ben Stokes found several perspectives after returning to cricket from absent six months due to a finger injury and for a mental health break.
Stokes sent down 25 overs in taking 3-113 in a drying, physical effort in the second ash test in Adelaide, part of the 150 British overs spent on the field for the first two days.
The British will continue on the third day Saturday playing in trouble in 17-2 in reply to Imping 473-9 Australia stated.
“It’s difficult for two days,” said Stokes to the Australian Associated Press.
“It’s never ideal but you just like dirt when you get it and understand what you are playing.” Stokes also took a wider view of the British struggle, recorded a tragic Castle Jumping accident in Tasmania on Thursday that killed five children.
“The reason why Australians wore black arm tires today made many things a perspective,” he said.
Stokes are optimistic about the return.

“Walking into the fields and wearing three lions is one of the big feelings as a cricket.” Stokes defend the Bowling Tactics of the first day of England in the Oval Adelaide which revolves around the sustainable period of a short-pitched bowling.
“Just try making different types, not energy, but creates different types of environments out there for dough,” Stokes said on Friday.
“It does look strange when you try to run and bowl 11 overs of short things.
But some of the first spells I feel like creating many opportunities.” Australia, who holds Abu, won the first test in Brisbane with nine-goal.
Five third tests in the series began on December 26 on the land of Cricket Melbourne.
