Ind vs Med: Shaisvi falhou na parede falhou com as paredes em Deus colocou a Índia sob pressão?

Everyone remembers how Mohammed Siraj defended one from Shoaib Bashir, only to chop it back on to the stumps, on the final day of the Lord’s Test. But all that could have been avoided, had the top order batting a bit more responsibly. Yes, it is all done and dusted, but it just difficult to not think about some of the dismissals in that last innings.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Mistimes Pull Shot at Lord’s

The first of the lot was Yashasvi Jaiswal, who played a poor shot, while trying to pull a delivery, only to be caught out, on a Jofra Archer delivery. Even though no can question Jaiswal the batter, but his shot selection can certainly be. “So Jaiswal getting out, really bad shot, I’m surprised he just didn’t look to cut it over the off-side, suddenly England are like okay, we are in. He is the player who moves the scoreboard forward,” Stuart Broad said on ‘For The Love Of Cricket’ podcast.

Stuart Broad Says, Cut Would Have been Better

Broad perhaps was correct in saying, since cutting has been his strength, and pulling, at the start of the innings is not. “In a low chase, when you are defending, if you come to bowl and you’ve got a Sehwag, Warner, the opening batters that can take the game away from you and they up 60 for none or one off ten, the game is sort of done,” he added.

Broad further opened up on what cost India dear. It was the cautious approach by Karun Nair, that gave England the chance to dictate terms. “As soon as Karun Nair came in, he is someone who plays each ball on merit, then England could control it and set attacking fields, create pressure. So I thought that was a really big moment. England making that breakthrough early, Jaiswal gone,” Broad said.
