Brendon McCullum has hailed Ben Stokes for exceeding his expectations as a Test captain and giving his players ‘satisfaction.’
Stokes and McCullum have made a potent, positive partnership in just four weeks together at the helm of the Test side and have been rewarded with an instant 3-0 series win over New Zealand.
But McCullum has insisted that it is Stokes’ ultra-aggressive attitude to the game that has driven the change in the way England have played. And it is because of this approach, McCullum reckons he will take it too far, which will be a good thing as the team try and work out where their limits are.
