Ind vs. Eng 4th Test: ‘Ben Stokes behaved like a bad child’ – East India Cricketer | Cricket news
Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has laid the England captain for his conduct for his conduct after a draw before the last hour in Manchester.“Ben Stokes behaved like a bad child,” Sanjay Manjrekar said on Gehotstar. Former England cricketer Jonathan Trot, however, defended Ben Stokes.Trot said, “Common practice in England, and Ben Stokes’ mentality is that there are no individual milestones. If you offer to finish the first game, it is taken,” the Trot said. Manjrekar was in a hurry to correct the trot and said: “Trot comes from a different culture. The whole world does not play according to the English way of cricket.” Jadeja and Washington were batting at 89 and 80 respectively, when England captain Ben Stokes’s last hour began, knew that a result was out of reach, offered to join hands.However, with a milestone around the corner, the Indian batsmen refused, who did not please Stokes, who then deliberately introduced Brook into an attack to bowl a full-furious-toss, allowing the two to complete their well-worthy tons.Hussain said on ‘Sky Sports’, “I had no problem with it. England had a problem with it. He was a bit tired, tired bowlers, so he wanted to get down, but two leads worked hard to reach the 80s and 90s and they wanted to get hundreds of Tests.”Hussain said, “Stokes did not need to bowl Brook and finally look foolish. We make these things a lot. He played well for India and played all the credit.”When Cheteshwar Pujara asked Washington Sundar the same question, he sidelined the issue.“I think everyone saw on TV what happened and they all enjoyed it,” Washington said on Gehotstar.
