Ashwin, Bumrah drill last nail in Bazball’s coffin, India hammer England 4-1 | Cricket

Published by Parlour News

For England, the day started with James Anderson etching his name on the history books by becoming the first pacer to claim 700 Test wickets but it didn’t take long for the celebrations to vanish. About four hours to be precise. Some would even say less than that as the writing was on the wall once India’s spinners, led by Ravichandran Ashwin got England five down at the Lunch break on Day 3 of the fifth Testin Dharamsala. It took India 48.1 overs to bowl England out in their second innings and win the Test match by an innings and 64 runs in less than three days to win the series 4-1.

England’s bazballers had rewritten the record books by beating India in the series opener in Hyderabad despite conceding a 190-run lead in the first …

India vs England – “Not About Being Arrogant”: Joe Root’s Blunt Take On Bazball’s Criticism

Published by Webster

Joe Root silenced his doubters with an unbeaten 122 to help England post 353.© AFP After recent criticism, England batter Joe Root regained his magical touch in the fourth Test against India in Ranchi, smashing an unbeaten century to lead the visitors’ charge. Root had come under the scanner for throwing away his wicket on too many occasions prior to the fourth Test. He was harshly criticised for playing a reverse-lap shot that led to his wicket in the first innings of the third Test. However, Root silenced his doubters with an unbeaten 122 to help England post 353. The former England captain played 274 balls during his unbeaten stay in the middle, with experts lauding him to deviate from England’s aggressive brand of cricket under captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum. However, Root emphasised that Bazball is driven by excellence, rather than “arrogance”. “There have been times recently when the best way to do that is by being a bit more aggressive. It’s like if I connect with that shot …

India vs England Live Score, 3rd Test Day 4: Jaiswal and Gill look to pile on to Bazball’s misery in Rajkot | Cricket News

Day 3 in Rajkot was a case of Bazball gone overboard, could perhaps cost Stokes’ men the series Cricket – Third Test – India v England – Niranjan Shah Stadium, Rajkot, India – February 17, 2024 England’s Ollie Pope with Ben Stokes and Mark Wood during the match. (REUTERS/Amit Dave) It’s admirable that Bazball hasn’t had more days like the third day in Rajkot. When they go overboard with their intent, dim their game awareness, and waste a great opportunity to seize an unshakeable grip on the match. Joe Root reverse-lapped Jasprit Bumrah to slip, while Ben Stokes slog-swept to long-on and handed the initiative back to a Ashwin-less India. Instead of a handy lead, they were shot out for 319 in their first innings to trail by 126 before India extended the lead to 322 by stumps.

India vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: Bazball’s trial by spin begins

Published by Parlour News

India vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: Hello and welcome! India vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 1: India got a taste of Bazball during their postponed fifth Test in England in 2022. They were ahead for much of that match but then got an idea of what can happen when you let this England side dictate terms for even the shortest periods of a game. Before anyone knew what was happening, England’s target of 378 started looking much smaller than what it really was, which was their highest successful run chase in over a century of playing Test cricket. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow bludgeoned an unbeaten 269-run stand in just 316 balls, with the former scoring 142 in 173 and the latter making 114 in 145. But this time, England will be asked to play that way in India, where their opponents have lost just three Tests in over a decade. India have made a joke out of a number of world class Test teams at home since England beat …
