East-India legends called England for ‘cheating’ in Lord’s

In the last few minutes of the day 3 at Lord’s, the players got angry and lost their cool, but former Indian wicketkeeper Phokh Engineer was not going to the sugarcane that he saw. The 87-year-old, who was at the famous Lord’s Ground on Saturday, slammed England’s strategy, “cheat” the time-to-time tricks of Zak Croly and took a sharp job in many hypmed bazball philosophy.

“This is not ‘cricket” – Engineer sheds tears in the antics of Croly

India bowled England for 387 and match the run for runs in their innings, the hosts came out to bat in the last six minutes of the day. But thereafter there was less cricket and more theater. Zak Croly delayed taking the strike, pulled away twice away from his stance, and then called for physio after a delivery.

The drama did not sit well with Indian captain Shubman Gill, who exchanged warm words with Crowley and Ben Docket. Nor did it affect the engineer. In a chat with RevsportsThe experienced cricketer did not see his words.

,English people will call it professionalism but I would call it a deception. It was a timewasking strategy. They did not want to face another which was very clear. He could have been discontent about it but made it so clear. This was not very appropriate. but who knows? I don’t think our batsmen would have done such a clear work. Title this is not cricketThe engineer said.

“This bugball is all bravelables”

The engineer, who played county cricket for Lancashire and found out English cricket from inside, also targeted England’s Bazball approach, suggesting that there was no leg against top teams like India. ,This buzzball is all Bundlabz,” He said. “They can march against Bangladesh or Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. Against India, they cannot do this and I have always said that in the past. I wish he had adopted Bajball, we would have won the series by now. ,

It was a funny thing to say this for the engineer, who himself was fond of playing aggressive cricket. England, who labeled him as a trend-sector, played at a run rate of 3.44 in the first innings. In 1, he scored the lowest score in a day under the protection of Brendon McCullum, in 1 throughout the day.

While the third test is critically prepared, the engineer believes that India still leads to an edge. “This is also Stevens at this time. If we had got some wickets close to the game today, I would have firmly preferred. Bumrah has still got a new ball in his hand. Akash Deep has to bowl yet. Let’s take 3-4 wickets before lunch on the first day 4, and we are very capable of doing so.”
