Ben Stokes told Rob Key that he felt his batting has improvement over the first Test Youve got to be looking to score but that can sometimes be taken the wrong way. People automatically think right, lets go and hit some fours and sixes and have a bit of fun whereas taking ones and twos off the over for 10 overs in a row is good for ticking the scoreboard over.The longer you stay with your mate at the other end, the more the pressure is going to build up on them to get you out and youre going to get some bad balls. Jonny [Bairstow] and I put on 120-130 the other day without really noticing just because we occupied the crease and managed to rotate the strike. When the bad ball came we were switched on enough to put it away.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Ryan Lochtes apology was about as real as his story.How can you tell? There wasnt a dude, brah or jeah anywhere in it.No bogus, either, and thats a word Lochte really knows something about.Some All-American hero Lochte turned out to be. John Wayne in Brazil, minus the white horse to ride into the sunrise on.One minute hes an Olympic star who bravely stares down bandits, a gun to his forehead. The next hes fleeing back to the states, leaving his younger teammates -- two still college students -- to clean up his ugly American mess.This could be a new telenovela, the soap operas that millions of Brazilians are hooked on. About the only thing missing is a female fatale, though the guess is there were some involved in the making of this story.Lochte tried to portray himself into some kind of hero, a macho athlete who stared down the barrel of a gun and said whatever to some imaginary bandits. While his teammates cowered in fear of their lives he stood tall, his faux platinum hair glistening in the early morning light.Turns out it was an easy story line to sell, especially to NBC which is constantly in search of Olympic heroes and swallowed his wild tale whole. Later he doubled down, telling Matt Lauer we couldnt make this story up.Actually, thats precisely what Lochte did. And Fridays apology for doing that was about as lame as the short-lived reality show he once starred on.Obviously written by someone with experience in crisis communication, it at least begins with the right words, which are I want to apologize. From there it goes off the deep end, much like his original tale.Its traumatic to be out late with your friends in a foreign country -- with a language barrier -- and have a stranger point a gun at you and demand money, the statement said.Dude, dont go there. Theres a huge difference between being robbed by men masquerading as police and being confronted by security guards after vandalizing a gas station bathroom.Dont want a gun pointed at you? Dont kick in gas station doors.On the list of things that matter, the Wild West dustup at the gas station ranks low on the scale. Thanks to Lochte, though, it morphed from a drunken mistake into an affront to an entire nation, something Lochte and his drunken buddies will probably never be able to understand.Actually theres little Lochte seems to understand. Hes the archetypical dumb jock, always ready for the next frat party and always eager to have someone read him his presss clippings.dddddddddddd Its no surprise that he is the athlete that most embarrassed the U.S. at these games.Close behind him is goalkeeper Hope Solo, who called the Swedish players who scored on her cowards after the favored American womens soccer team was eliminated. Like Lochtes embellishments, Solos comments should be no surprise. She badmouthed her coach and teammates after a loss in 2007 and made jokes about the Zika virus before the Olympics, making her a target for Brazilian fans.The whole thing is a bit reminiscent of the U.S. hockey players who trashed their rooms in Japan during the 1998 Olympics, only to infer it might be the fault of the Japanese for building cheap furniture.All they did, though, was damage some furniture. Here the national pride of Brazil -- a country trying to pull off these Olympics in the face of long odds- was damaged.Surely Lochte wasnt thinking about those kinds of consequences when he dreamed up his robbery tale. Probably wasnt thinking much at all after a long night out on the town and an imaginary encounter with Brazilian desperados.This is a guy, you might remember, who tried unsuccessfully to register his catchphrase jeah as a trademark even if he couldnt define what it meant.The irony of it all is that Lochte may have done these Olympics a big favor. His story has dominated the news out of Rio in recent days, pushing aside the lingering images of green pools and empty seats.The truth is that Rio can be a dangerous place. There have been a number of very real crimes during the Olympics.Indeed, Lochtes initial account of things seemed entirely plausible in a country where the police might not always be what they appear to be and anyone with a cellphone or a wallet is a potential target.As bad as Rio might look at times, though, Lochte looks even worse. Hes become a joke, mocked for everything from being a child of privilege to simply being an idiot.Its hard to imagine any sponsor sticking with him, hard to imagine USA Swimming officials even allowing him to compete. Brought to Rio to represent his country, he embarrassed it on the biggest stage imaginable.An apology every bit as phony as his hair color did nothing to change that.----Tim Dahlberg is a national sports columnist for The Associated Press.
