Green Tinge, Slope and the Lords: India Batters set up their ‘First’ England Challenge; Third IND vs Eng Test from July 10 | Cricket news
Timesofindia.com in London: India’s first training session at Lord’s Cricket Ground was on Tuesday morning, headed by head coach Gautam Gambhir, the assistant employee was in a handle near the surface of the game. At a distance of 22 yards, a fresh green was bent, and all of them – from bowling coach Morne Morkel to batting coach Santashu Kotak – checked several rounds. When they were standing on the practice pitches, the ground staff came into action and some grass was shaved from the surface so that it was already on the impression.Treatment continued on the square and pitch as the team practiced in the nets and had generous water to keep it fresh under the sun. On the eve of the game, the grass can be trimmed further, but the pitch has promised more lives than the offering of Headingly and Edgbaston. In a conversation with the grassroots employees, Jaspreet Bumrah compared two surfaces to Nagpur and Kanpur when he was bowling in the trap.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

A similar trend was followed during the World Test Championship final as four Australia batsmen were rejected within the first 25 overs.“The wicket has a little green. It is more than what we saw in the last two matches. But tomorrow, when they make the final cut, they do the last cutting one day before the match, after that we can talk. And generally, Lords … first and second innings scores are comparatively low. So, we can expect it that it will be useful for the bowler.”

The previous trend, green tinge and eight feet slope means that India’s batsmen will have to face their first real challenge in Lord’s after comfortable batting positions in Leeds and Birmingham respectively. Many people will be playing their first stability at the cricket house as only Ravindra Jadeja (twice), KL Rahul (twice) and Rishabh Pant (once) have played here before. The iconic site brings with some challenges, requiring a minor adjustment about the batting group.
The eight -feet slope goes down from the pavilion end to the nursery end, and the adjustment remains the major term. For naked eyes, you can hardly see any difference but a enough. Batting from the Pavilian end, the ball gets away from the right hand over normal due to the slope and the end of the nursery sees some exaggerated movement in the right hand. There are similar challenges for the bowlers, but as far as the batting is concerned, some minor adjustments help in the circumstances and are ready for the challenges thrown on them.

Depending on the conditions mentioned, what results do you predict for India in Lord’s?
Many batsmen have played here, they have made a minor tweex for their guards for two ends, who combat the proposal inward and external movement. That slope means scoring opportunities on the proposal, but being tight and compact will allow batsmen to dominate the final and longer. Kotak felt that combating the slope is more of a mentality because many batsmen treat it as “natural variation”.“It depends on the mindset. I have seen some players saying that they do not understand the slope. And some players feel that there are natural variations. Obviously, due to the slope, there will be some variations. But, after killing the seam, we cannot keep it into mind.India’s batsmen have so far enjoyed their time in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and how they deal with the slope of Lord’s, can decide whether the chain goes up or down from London for them.
