Brendon mcccullum sos to Lord’s Pitch Curator: England’s aggressive ‘Bazball’ strategy is now vomiting after a 336 -run defeat at the Edgbaston Test at the Edgbaston Test. This defeat has forced England coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes to learn from their mistakes. Despite domestic conditions, defeating India on its own earth now seems to be a big risk, as India’s bowling attack is much stronger than England.
Keeping in mind India’s bowling attack, England have not only included fast bowler Gas Atkinson and Jofra Archer in the team, but also requested to prepare a special pitch for India vs England Third Test from Lord’s pitch curator.
England have sought a wicket from the pitch curator that has bounce, speed and side movement so that the strong batsmen of India have trouble. Talking to reporters after the defeat at Edgbaston, Brendon McCullum said, “It will be a blockbuster in any way, but I think it will be a blockbuster, especially if you have a lot of life in the pitch.”
India has played 19 Tests in Lord’s so far, out of which only 3 have won and 12 defeat. However, India has won 2 matches in the last 4 matches. India won a stunning victory in 2021 with KL Rahul’s century and Mohammad Siraj’s bowling.
Confirming Bumrah’s return, Shubman Gill said, “We don’t think there will be a flat wicket in Lord’s too. But we will decide the team combination only after seeing the wicket.”
Let us tell you that the third Test will be played at Lord’s from July 10, where both teams will enter the series for an edge.
