IND vs Eng 3rd Test: Why God’s slope is a silent threat to the batsmen and a bad dream for wicketkeepers. Cricket news
Over the years, the slope of the believed God has not only challenged the batsmen, but has also been a bad dream for the wicketkeepers.Timesofindia.com explained on Tuesday as to why the nursery is running from the end of the eight-foot slope pavilion to the end, causing so much difficulty for the players at this prestigious site.
This slope is situated on God?
The notorious slope of the ground moves down to the long leg from the end of the pavilion to a long leg.
Why does the slope cause problems?
At first glance, the slope of the Lord may not appear significant, but has a remarkable effect. When batting from the end of the pavilion, right-hand often faces more movement due to slope, while delivery from the end of the nursery wakes up rapidly. Bowlers face similar challenges, but for batsmen, some subtle adjustments can lead to a long way to handle these unique situations.Experienced batsmen often modify their stance slightly based on the end, which they are facing to handle the opposite movement better. The slope offers the opportunity of scoring, but maintaining a compact, disciplined technique is important to create a longer, more effective innings. Batting coach Satanshu Kotak believes that handling the slope comes down to a large extent to the mentality, as many players consider it as just another form of natural variation.
What did the Indian batting coach say?
India’s batting coach Satanshu Kotk told reporters: “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.,

Do you think the slope in Lord’s affects the result of matches?
Why is this a bad dream for the keeper?
The slope in Lord’s increases the movement of the ball, often ignoring the balance of wicketkeepers. To accommodate, the keepers usually take an additional step to their right when standing at the end of the nursery, and a step to their left when deployed at the end of the pavilion. This subtle innings helps them to align and give better response to sloping-inspired deviations.
