"From speaking to the boys, this is probably the most hostile ground you get in England," incoming Australian spinner"It's going to be different and I'm sure they won't hold back, so just embrace it and try to have a good time.Coming hard might be an understatement.Jonny Bairstow's stumping and the extraordinary reaction to it"I definitely think [the atmosphere] going to be ramped up," Stokes said.
"Australia have had their past and have come here a few times since and I think they're all used to the English crowd. "When we go to Australia we get lambasted as well. Look, I think that's part of the sport we play. You get thousands of people who want their team to win and they'll just jump on something."We get it in Australia: 90,000 Australians at the MCG all cursing at you. It's part of the job."
At Headingley, there will be just shy of 20,000 supporters expressing their views, no doubt forthrightly.
