Joe Root came up with a unique solution that faces the question of changing the ball, which was the main problem during the ongoing series between England and India. The second day of the Lord’s test, the second new ball survived only 10.4 overs before it was replaced. The replacement was not described by SHUBMAN GILL, who closed the argument with the judges.
The ball did not survive for a long time Because the referees had to call for a change again because the ball did not pass by meter. Ball Dukes and how easily deformed There was a topic of great discussion, and Stuart Broad said it was a problem that needs to be resolved quickly.
ENG vs Indian, 2. Test day 2: The most important
During a press conference after Root daily play, he suggested something similar to the decision -making system (DRS), where each team gains three challenges every 80 crosses to change the ball if they are not satisfied with it. The English dough felt it was nice to cause a compromise without pinning all the blame on the manufacturer.
“Personally, I think that if you want to change the ball, each team gets three challenges every 80 overs and that’s it,” Root said.
“That would be a nice way to compromise – saying it’s not all on the manufacturer, sometimes these things happen.”
“Unable to slow down the game down”
Frequent stops in the game noted that only 75 breaks were bowed on the Lord’s test on 2 days, causing outrage among fans. It was less than 81 overs that was on 1 day in India. Root was not a fan of constant stops caused by the Indian team, which was stubborn about changing the ball.
“But you can’t just ask and slow down the game at the same time. There is no need to deal with them a lot,” Root said.
Root was also glad to see Jofra Archer returned to the cricket and raised the goal. English dough called Pacer as a player X-Factor.
“In his goal was a real joy in his face. He’s X Factor and showed it. He will play a big role in the game,” Root said.
