“They left on both sides of the wicket, were they not?” Ponting clearly said. “I think they were cleverly closed. I don’t think Kamboj should have taken a new ball. I did not like it from the beginning. ,

Docket took full advantage, broke five of his first six borders on leg-side behind the square.“They were cleverly wrong there,” the ponting continued. “Even now, Bumrah is bowling from the wrong end. Most of the wickets have fallen from the end of Statham, and they have done most of their work from Anderson End. They were away from the execution and they are cleverly closed.”England finished day 2 at 225/2 in response to India’s 358, behind 133 runs. Both Docket (94) and Croly (84) have reduced to centuries, but their aggressive start gave England in day 3. Playing only due to injuries to India’s pace unit, Kamboj took his first Test wicket when Docket took him to Dhruv Jurael.With a series 2–1 in favor of England, a win in Manchester will seal the series for Ben Stokes’ side. But Ponting’s sharp comments suggest that India’s strategy may require a serious reconsideration if they take this five-observe competition to a decisive at the Oval.
