England’s team has been furious after the defeat in Edgbaston Test match. She is trying to take an edge in the series by winning the Lord’s Test match in any way. Because of this, the hosts have broken all limits and have come down on dishonesty. Its view was seen in the last session on the third day of this Test match. During this, there was also a dispute between captain Shubman Gill and England opener Jack Croi. In response to England’s 387 runs in the first innings, Team India’s first innings was also reduced to this score. By the end of the third day’s play, the English team has scored two runs in their second innings without losing wickets. During this, Dinesh Karthik, who was commenting after seeing the 90 seconds of dishonesty made by England, was surprised.
What is 90 second dishonesty?
After Team India’s first innings was reduced to 387 runs, England had to start their second innings in the scheduled time, but it started its second innings with a delay of 90 seconds. Former Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, who is commenting on this, raised questions. He said, “England started their second innings late by 90 seconds from the scheduled time”.
The reason for this act of England is clear, he did not want him to lose some wickets on the third day. For this, the hosts were wasting time. Its view was also seen in the ground, where Team India wanted to put two overs in the last time of the day, while the openers of England wanted to play only one over. Due to this, there was a dispute between Shubman Gill and England opener Jack Croly.
What was the dispute?
England openers Jack Croly and Ben Docket were wasting time at the crease to play only one over at the last time of the third day. During this time, Crolie was adopting delay tactic. That is, after every ball, he kept doing something intentionally, due to which the time was wasted. When Bumrah was ready to put the third ball of the over, Crolee was not ready for him. Then the next second he withdrew from the pitch, so that Bumrah also looked unhappy and started complaining to the umpire.
At the same time, Gill, posted in the slip, was filled with anger and he challenged the English batsman to show courage. However, the words he used cannot be written. Despite this, the England opener saved his wicket on the third and fourth balls, but the real controversy took place after the fifth ball.
Shubman Gill looked angry
Crowley failed in an attempt to defend this ball of Bumrah and the ball got loud in his gloves. In such a situation, Crowlie yearned with pain and immediately pointed to the dressing room and demanded to call the physio. There was a ruckus here. Captain Gill could not stop himself and he went directly to Crlay and started saying something. It was just from here that there was a sharp debate between the two and a quarrel started.
During this time, captain Gill raised his finger and started speaking something to him, showing the Crowley. Crowley also responded in the same manner and started showing finger to the Indian captain. Then England’s second opener Ben Docket came in the middle and started fighting with Gill. Gill also replied to him. However, then the umpire separated everyone and the over was completed with the last ball.
