2nd Test: India’s Short Ball Tactic Let The English Batsmen Off The Hook, Says Trott
Former England batter Jonathan Trott said India’s overuse of the short-ball tactic played a key role in Jamie Smith and Harry Brook unleashing a fearless counter-attack on day three of second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston on Friday.
With short boundaries in place, India’s short-ball ploy didn’t work as Smith stood tall to hit an 80-ball century, the joint-third fastest Test hundred by an England batter, including plundering 23 runs came off the 32nd over by tall pacer Prasidh Krishna, who gave away 61 runs in the eight overs he bowled in the first session.
