"The England captain said his team will be able to drawn on the experience of coming back from a 0-2 deficit in the previous Ashes series at home"

Ben Stokes rallies England to unleash their fighting spirit in a do-or-die Adelaide Test, drawing parallels to their Gabba miracle two summers back. Trailing 0-2 in the Ashes, the skipper insists clarity fuels their comeback bid Down Under, where they haven't won a Test in 15 years.

"We know what it's like to be in this situation," Stokes declared eve-of-match, eyes on clawing back like the home resurgence that leveled the series. The harsher Australian cauldron sharpens focus rather than daunting the Bazball brigade.
