Vice-Capital of England Ollie Pope revealed his brave plan to face the Indian Jasprit Bumrah before 1. The Pope, who was confirmed in the first test between the two sides as English dough no.
The Pope, who was released 5 times in 9 test matches that played against each other, said the main goal was to let Bumurah mix six balls directly on one dough. The Pope has a terrible record against the Indian stimulator. He fired in 9 matches against Bumrah, scored 86 runs against Pacer and was released 5 times. In 2022, when the Bumrah captain of the Indian team by the captain of the Indian team, he got twice in Bumhrah twice in the same test.
When he talked to The Times before the first test match, the Pope said Bumrah was an extremely difficult quick pitch in the test cricket due to his position to release the ball and the type of skills he has.
“Maybe I’ll get my trigger a little earlier just to take a little more time. It’s one of those pitch -ups that, with his action and where he releases it, doesn’t necessarily have an hour of high speeds that some of the guys for an hour, but it certainly looks like it is a little faster.
The Pope explained that he would like to turn the blow effectively against Bumrah and not let him have six balls on the same chicken.
“Right, how can I rotate and get to the other end? And my partner thought the same way, so he won’t get six balls in a row (Bumhrah) and doesn’t use all his skills. He’s a highly qualified pitch, one of the best in the world, not the best,” Pope said.
“There is no hiding behind it. But I’m sure everyone has different methods to try to cancel their main threats and find their scoring areas. It’s really about how to keep it as simple as possible,” he added.
The last time England played India, they were hammered from home. The Rohit Sharma team after losing the first test match in Hyderabad organized an incredible comeback. The Indian team of SHUBMAN GILLA would have hoped to imitate the same success in England in 5 matches that play against Ben Stokes.
