London: David Gover was one of the best batsmen in England who played the game. At the age of 68, he is currently focusing on moving from cricket and auctioning his cricket property online. He was watching another closely fought examination between England and India at Old Trafford. On the second day of the fourth test after the later moments after Rishabh Pant, he climbed on the pitch with a broken leg, he sat together times of India For a chat. “When the pants were injured yesterday, my part said, well it is good for England. But then my second part said, it’s going to be dull now,” Gover said. Part from chat …Why are you auctioning your cricket goods?My family is trying to clean the deck as a whole. There are some things, eg, says, my first blazer from the tour of England, the original MCC color, very special. But it has been in a box in Attari for 30-40 years. I am nowhere to put it. It brings back memories. If someone has space to insert it, I am glad that it is on a performance somewhere, because my memory is not slow. Everything did not go into the auction. There are medals and trophies that I have kept for my daughters.
You were one of the most elegant batsmen in your time. What do you make for modern times batting?You have found the opposite. You have found someone like Rishabh Pant who is a unique animal, and the animal is not a pejorative word. At the same time, you have found Shubman Gill, who scored hundreds of runs in a very old way-controlled, elegant, using time and did not use cruel force. It was really important for India that a new captain makes a mark. The absence of two great people suddenly does not matter. If there are enough people with the right kind of talent to make it exciting, then choose them in every way. If you are still testing them with a view to winning, then you still have to look for the best players you can do. If their styles are different, such as Shubman and Rishabh, both things can live together in some kind of harmony. England’s intention is to quickly pursue the game from number 1 to number 7 and to be very positive. With a little smartness, they can make it fabulous more often.Do you see Mike GettingUse of reverse sweep in the 1987 World Cup now differently?Reverse sweep has become very common. It is also easily played as a conservative sweep or cover drive or any other conservative shot. With Mike, I was commenting in London and I remember this is the worst shot I have ever seen. It was not needed. The game almost won. This was the last throw of the allen border dice and Mike could do anything. If you are a mike gatting or root, if you try and scoop it on a third man in a Test match and you are caught in slip or reverse sweeping, it never looks good.

Do you think Test cricket is facing a serious threat to its existence?
Is England, India and Australia the responsibility of saving the test format?It is a big mistake how world cricket is being administered. This tells you who has money, who has power. The way I play New Zealand in their cricket and I love the way they have taken their test cricket in small grounds, beautiful grounds, and it looks good. South Africa could not give a flying figure about Test cricket because only one thing that earns is SA20. I use a tiger as an example. The tiger was threatened with extinction.This is the most beautiful animal that you will come anywhere. And when people realized that it was going to the exit door, Project Tiger gave it a lifeline. I see Test cricket in the same way. I like when Virat Kohli says that Test cricket is the most important thing in his life, because it is 1.4 billion votes for testing if everyone in India follows his work.You played together Ian Botham And largely covered Andrew Flintoff. Both all -rounders fought as captains. what makes Ben stokes apart?There is a difference between handling them and handling them a team, of course. Ian was the most magnificent cricketer, was easily good. And at the end the problem was that he did not have the instinct to manage people. They just expected them to do what they did and move forward with it. Flintoff was luxurious for a short time. He did some extraordinary things. But in Australia, he proved to be a step far away from trying the captain. He believed that he was a disaster from the ground. He did not face exclusively well.Now, Stokes has impressed me a lot. He also had off-field issues. The difference is that Ben, if you met 10 years ago, you would never have predicted that he can be the captain who is now. He was talented as the other two, spontaneously, as self-centered as you can expect a young man to be at that level. What the problems of those life have taught them is much about themselves. The most obvious performance is the sympathy that is with all people who come in this team. Ian did not understand that people are different.
