Speaking after England’s first Test win, Stokes said: “I think we’re just a very simple-minded pair, me and Baz [Brendon McCullum], when it comes to cricket.
“Everyone knows what cricket is about, it’s about scoring more runs than the opposition. When you strip it all back, that’s it. We try to keep everything simple and calm as we possibly can.
“When you’re chasing totals like that, how you are in the dressing room is very important.”
On Ben Duckett’s 149-run performance, he added: “Ducky has been incredible since coming into the team. He’s shown he can score runs pretty much all over the world in any conditions he’s faced with.
“He’s a quality player, such a hard person to bowl to with the new ball. I love the way that his natural game is to look to score and put bowlers under pressure from ball one.
“Ducky got the 149 but Zak [Crawley] was so, so important, too.
“They compliment each other so well. I’m sure you could ask the opposition bowlers about why they’re a nightmare when they are in for a long period.”
