England team took shocking decision (photo-PTI)
India vs england: After losing badly in Edgbaston Test, now the England team has been shocked and now this team has taken a decision which is really surprising. According to media reports, England team wants a sharp and bounce pitch for the Test match to be held at Lord’s. The England team wants Lord’s to help bowlers on the pitch. There are reports that England coach Brandon McCallum has appealed to Lord’s leading groundsman Carl McDermot to prepare a pitch for the third Test against India that would help the bowlers. McCallum wants Lord’s pitch not to be flat. On the Pata pitch in Edgbaston, Team India defeated England by 336 runs after which McCallum and Stokes have changed the strategy.
What did McCallum say before Lord’s Test?
Brandon McCallum said that after the defeat in Edgbaston, told the media, “The next match will be excellent but if there is life in the pitch then it will be an exciting test.” Let me tell you that in the Lord’s Test, England team can give Jofra Archer and Gas Atkinson a chance in the playing XI. Archer is always a big threat and Gas Atkinson’s record is amazing in Lord’s. McCallum has also confirmed this. He said, ‘Jofra is absolutely available for selection. Our fast bowlers have played two consecutive Tests and we have less time for Lord’s Test. We will consider this defeat, Archer looks fit and strong. Now there will be an exciting match.
India’s poor record in Lord’s
Lord’s pitch may bother India’s batsmen, Lord’s pitch will not be flat like Leeds or Edgbaston. The Indian team’s record in Lord’s is also bad. Team India has won only 3 out of 19 matches on this ground. On the other hand, England have won 59 out of 145 Tests at Lord’s, including 12 out of 19 wins against India. However, India cannot be taken lightly with two wins in the last four matches in Lord’s.
Bumrah will return
If the England team makes fast and bouncy wickets in Lord’s, then it is also like a big danger for him. In fact, Shubman Gill has confirmed that Bumrah is going to play the next Test match with the victory in Edgbaston. Siraj and Akashdeep have shown their color and now Bumrah also knows what will happen to England’s batting unit. Now it remains to be seen which network of British laying on the 22 yards strip of Lords?
