James Anderson further added that Stokes and McCullum always ask us to focus on taking wickets all the time. It is the team’s new mantra.
“With Ben and Brendon, their mantra is that we’ve got to take wickets and look to take wickets all the time. Even though they got 500-plus in the first innings, we still felt with that lead that we had, the way we scored. We could set ourselves something to defend,”
