London: David Gower was one of the best dough from England that played the game. At the age of 68, he is currently focusing on the transition from cricket and auctioning his cricket property online. He was on Old Trafford and watched another closely fought test between England and India. Moments after Rishabh Pant blocked on a playground with a broken leg the next day of the fourth test, sat down with Toi for chat. “When the hinge was injured yesterday, some of them told me, well, that’s good for England. But then the second part told me, it would be boring now,” Gower said. Excerpts from chat …Why do you prosecute your cricket things?My family as a whole is trying to clean the deck. There are things like saying, my first jacket from England Tour, the original MCC color, very special. But it was in a box in the attic 30-40 years. I have no one. It brings memories. If someone has a place to do it, then I’m happier, it’s somewhere on the display, because my memory isn’t weak. Not everything went to the auction. There are medals and trophies that I held for my daughters.
Exclusive David Gower to SHUBMAN GILL, Jasprit Bumrah and Indian England Tour
You were one of the most elegant doughs in your time. What do you think of a modern Batsmanship?You have a contrast. You have someone like Rishabh Pant, which is a unique animal, and the animal is not a pejorative term. At the same time, you have a SHUBMAN GILL, which has done hundreds of runs in a very old-fashioned way-controlled, elegant, using timing and not brutal strength. It was really important for India to make the new captain. It seems that the absence of two giants suddenly does not matter. If there are enough people with the right kind of talent to be exciting, then select them. If you are still playing tests to win them, then you still have to look for the best players you can. If their styles are different, like SHUBMAN and RISHABH, then both things can live together in some harmony. England No. 1 to 7 intends to quickly move the game forward and be very positive. With a little added cleverly, they can do it brilliant more often.Display Mike GattingUsing back sweeping in the 1987 World Cup final now differently?Reverse sweeping has become much more common. It is played as easily as the Orthodox sweeping or cover unit or any other Orthodox shot. I commented on Mike in London and I remember that I said it was the worst shot I’ve ever seen. That wasn’t needed. The game was almost won. It was the last throwing of Dice Allan Bordy and Mike could do anything. If you are Mike Gatting or Joe Root, if you try to get it over a third man in a test match and get caught or catch on, it never looks good.

Do you think the test cricket is facing a serious threat to its existence?
Has responsibility fell to save the test format on England, India and Australia?This is the main mistake in how the world cricket is served. It tells you who has money, who has power. I love the way New Zealand plays its cricket and I love the way they took their test cricket on smaller land, nice land, and looked good. South Africa could not give a flying character about a test cricket, because the only thing that earns money is SA20. I use a tiger as an example. The tiger was endangered by extinction.It is the most beautiful animal with which you come across anywhere. And when people realized that they were heading for the exit door, the Tiger project gave him a life rope. I see a test cricket in the same way. I like it when the virt kohli says that a test cricket is the most important thing in his life, in his career, because it has 1.4 billion votes for tests if everyone in India is watching his work.You played with Ian Botham And he covered Andrew Flintoff extensively. They both fought as captains. What is he doing Ben Stokes other?Certainly there is a difference between manipulation and they are manipulating the team. Ian was the most amazing cricket, instinctively good. Finally, it was a problem for him that he had no instinct for people management. Rather, he was expecting to do what he did, and he would go with it. Flintoff was brilliant for a shorter time. Did some extraordinary things. But he tried to try the captain in Australia too far. He would admit he was a disaster from the field. Undoubtedly he was particularly good.Now Stokes impressed me extremely. He also had problems outside the field. The difference is that Ben, if you meet him 10 years ago, you would never have predicted that he could be the captain he is now. He was as talented as the other two, as instinctive as he focused on himself, how you might expect a young man to be at this stage. There is a lot about what these life problems have taught him. The brightest demonstration is that the empathy he has with all the boys who come to this team. Ian did not understand that people are different.
