England won against India, performing brilliantly in Lord’s Test match. After winning this match, England took a 2–1 lead in the 5 match Test series. While many people have praised the performance of English players, veteran batsman Geoffrey Boycott has given a big statement about the team’s batsmen. According to him, English players should stop fooling and they should not give their wickets as gifts while playing aggressive cricket. He has fiercely reprimanded Jack Crowley and Oli Pope.
Geoffree Boycott gives a big statement
Geoffrey Boycott wrote in his daily telegraph column, ‘Stop stupid and do not give their wickets by playing aggressive shots, because players can do better than that and England also expect more from you. Head coach Brandon McCullum has recently said that England does not talk much about Bazball and he needs to improve his batting. So no excuse will work.
Geoffrey Boycott said about the opener Jack Crolee, ‘How many more opportunities will the English player get? He has not learned anything in his 57 Test match. He was out behind in the first innings, while in the second innings he played a bad shot. He has been out like this many times. He has scored five centuries and the average is only 31 which is very bad. Now they need to perform well.
This is said about Oli Pope
Geoffrey Boycott further said about the Oli Pope, ‘He had done very well but at the moment he is not able to get a big score. They should understand the situation and bat. It is not necessary to play the thinking of the captain or the coach in the same way. Which you can see the root. They do what they have to do and score runs. This is the reason why he is the best batsman in the world. The Pope should understand this.
