On final day\u2019s play, England beat India by five wickets by completing a chase of 371 in the final session. Jadeja, 36, went into the match as one of the most senior-most players, but didn\u2019t have a great influence on deciding its outcome. He made 11 & 25 not out with the bat, while his bowling figures of 0-68 & 1-104 left a lot to be desired.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Jadeja couldn\u2019t make much use of rough on the pitch, as opener Ben Duckett scored freely off him through a variety of reverse sweeps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI could not believe how poorly he bowled, really. I'd likened it to owning a hammer but punching nails in with your fist instead \u2013 not landing the ball in the rough at all until, basically, it was too late.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThat was extraordinary, really. You talk about experience, and he has all the experience in the world. Somehow, it didn't seem to click to him or Rishabh Pant, the keeper, that it might be a good idea not to keep missing the rough all day to the left-handers,\u201d said Butcher on Wisden\u2019s weekly podcast.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Butcher also spoke about his being dissatisfied with India's selection of seam-bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, who also didn\u2019t live up to the expectations from his dual roles in Leeds. Though Thakur did dismiss Duckett and Harry Brook to bring some panic in England\u2019s chase, his overall bowling figures of 0-38 in six overs in the first innings and 2-52 in the second essay were inadequate in supporting Jasprit Bumrah.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With the bat, Thakur couldn\u2019t do anything special \u2013 making one and four in India\u2019s respective batting innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The issue around the lineup itself... how much more interesting might that last day have been had they gone for Kuldeep (Yadav) instead of (Shardul) Thakur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
