England’s head coach Brendon McCullum admitted that for most of the second test in Edgbaston in Birmingham, they were catching up with India after their throwing. India defeated England about a massive range of 336 runs and registered their first victory at the venue.
After their lossMcCullum admitted that England missed the golden opportunity to burn on a great surface first, because Captain Ben Stokes won the throwing and decided to mix first. He also mentioned that the goal did not show up as good as they thought it would be over five days, and therefore their decision when firing.
“I think that the game developed, we probably looked back at the throwing and said,” We missed the opportunity “and it is probably fair. We did not expect the goal to play quite the way it was, so we probably left slightly bad. Point, we are behind the game, ”said McCullum BBC test Match Special.
In addition, McCullum admitted that things would only be harder for England in the series, because Jasprit Bumrah will prepare for the third test.
“Akash Deep was exceptional. Bumrah is more than likely to return to the next, so we just have to make sure we are well planned and well prepared and ready for the next challenge. It will be quite different, I imagine, and that’s probably a good thing for us,” he added.
Bumrah is ready to mark his return in the XI for the third test set to start from July 10 in Lord’s in London. In his absence andKash Deep has increased on this occasion and released its best bowling performance in a careerRegistration of data about match 10/187.
