IND vs ENG: Why Bazball is not just about England’s aggressive batting

[ad_1] Fast bowler James Anderson is at top of his run-up and ready to run in. The India batsmen R Ashwin and Dhruv Jorel, who have been dead batting for a while, are ready. But captain Ben Stokes isn’t. Not many would venture to the vastly experienced Anderson about field positions but Stokes repeatedly does. Perhaps the long leg can be moved to backward square-leg position. That man on the off side moved to leg slip perhaps? More often than not, even Anderson has been lured by his captain’s imagination. The other bowlers have been wilfully moulded by the most visibly involved captain on a cricket field in world cricket right now.The Bazball when bowling, let’s call it Bazbaiting, is as fascinating to watch as their batting as Stokes doesn’t let the game drift even an inch. In many ways...

India vs England, 2nd Test: I am going to play how I play, says Shubman Gill | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] VISAKHAPATNAM: India were not completely out of the jail when they started the third day of the second Test against England. Just 171 runs in front, they needed someone to put their hand up at the ACA-VDCA Stadium if they were to set England a stiff target on the third day. Shubman Gill answered the call for the hosts with his third Test century, a classy 104 (147b, 192min, 11x4, 2x6) that spared India the blushes. James Anderson was at the top of his game and the cheap dismissals of skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal when play resumed on Sunday set India back considerably. Gill survived some anxious moments in the first hour but to his credit did not throw it away. “A lot was happening,” Gill said. “Me and Shreyas had a partnership and we tried to rotate the strike.” The I...

‘Even if India got 600…’: James Anderson confident England can pull off a miracle | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Veteran pacer James Anderson on Sunday said India had a cautious approach in batting in the second innings, pointing out 'nerves were there to see' while setting a target against England's 'Bazball' approach in the second Test in Vizag.
