‘This was nonsense’: Ricky Ponting slam India’s bowling attempt at Old Trafford, what went wrong. Cricket news
In his first innings of the 4th Test at Old Trafford, India was excluded for 358, in which Ben Stokes made England’s bowling attempt with a brilliant five wickets, which was his first in the trials since 2017. But thereafter the visitors were a disappointing path to play, as the English opening pair of Zak Croly and Ben Docket gave their team a strong and stable start. Indian bowlers failed to take the initial wickets, allowing England to build speed without much resistance. Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting did not analyze India’s performance and explained the words, the first head coach of India and the feelings expressed by the legend Ravi Shastri. Ricky Ponting said on Sky Sports Cricket, “I think we heard it when we were waiting to come out just before the break, what Ravi Shastri said. It was nonsense. He just missed his areas,” Ricky Ponting said on Sky Sports Cricket. “I am not sure what they were expecting out of the surface, but I wondered to actually go with (Mohammed) to start with a new ball with (Mohammed) Sirj, knowing what Sirj had had an impact on the series so far, and knowing how important the start of England’s batting innings is.
Ponting was especially important for India’s line and early length in the innings. “I think he had to go for his best and most experienced bowlers. They landed for a flyer – the way for docket, many wickets on the foot are square. You know that you can’t bowl there. So they have got some work to do now. They have joined together on the brake and work out how they are going to bowl to slow down and slow the scoring, but then also do the work how they are going to take out both of them, “the veteran said. India’s bowling options were already going into this test, with injuries Nitish Kumar Reddy and Paes Duo were out of Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh.
