English all-rounder Ben stokes in his latest interview to a channel said that the memories of that final over against West Indies are still in his mind. He is trying to cope with them, but it would take him time and he is ready to give it.
It was a miscalculation on behalf of the English captain Eoin Morgan who gave the last over to Stokes who already had bowled just one over before the final call. Jordan and Willey bowled well and one of the should have been given the last over.
Stokes had an average pace and as his body was not opened up much so there was always a chance of getting him hit for plenty of runs. This is unfortunately what happened.
Carlos Brathwaite hit him for 4 big sixes on the first 4 balls and got the 19 runs required in the love to win the finals. Stokes said that obviously it was very much disappointing and he still feels it deep inside his heart.
He said that he tried his best to stop the flow of runs but remained the unlucky one. Stokes also said that he and his team were really down after the finals. But then they gave shoulders to each other and became support for each other.
Stokes said that playing world cup and the final as a professional cricketer was always his dream and he was more than happy that he played for England in the world cup. Stokes said that the results may have been disappointing one, but the overall journey was fantastic.England lost just twice in the World t20 and both times their opponents were the West Indians. Stokes praised the efforts of the men from the Caribbean. He said that England will come back strong in their future contests.
