Devastated Stokes keen to move on from Brathwaite beating
Says England all-rounder Ben Stokes he was left devastated by his last over a horror show in the World Twenty20 final against the West Indies, and her after watching replays of Carlos Brathwaiat hit him for four sixes in a row.
And cost-old's 24-year-old, who had won acclaim for his efforts in the past to win in the semifinals of England to New Zealand, with bowling the final match on Sunday in Kolkata with the West Indies that need to be unlikely 19 it's defeated.
But Brathwaiat tied Stokes first four giant sixes delivery to give West Indies the second world title of her twenty-20 and leave the Englishman on his haunches looking on the verge of tears.
"I said to myself, 'I've just lost the World Cup." I could not believe it, "the newspaper quoted Stokes as saying the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph on Friday.
"I did not know what to do. It took me a long time to get back on my feet, and I do not want to go back. It was like the whole world has come to me. There were not any good things going through my mind, and it was the devastation is just full."
Said Stokes, who had abandoned the operation of only three in the final over against New Zealand was still confident of winning the closure of the West Indies, even after Brathwaiat has clubbed the first two delivery over the rope.
"After the first six I thought," God, but I was supporting myself. I've been in this kind of situation for a period of four weeks in all my training, so it was not the case holding anything back and thinking I hope to get Stokes said this one in because I knew I could do it. "
"I have not seen again after that I do not want to bring myself to do it at this stage, so I do not know how I missed before, but as a bowler you have the feeling once you leave if you've got the right Yorker and I felt like I had."
Stokes was exposed to ridicule in his native New Zealand, and suspended two broadcasters after it broadcast a conversation with his mother on the air as she tried to defend her son against the criticism.
Stokes said despite the experience in the final, he will not shirk the responsibility of bowling at the death again.
"Some days it's going to be fine, some days they do not do it," he added.
"It was a bad day but I will not stray from it. You almost want that to happen because if you nail that everyone forgets (the final)."
