ENG vs IND: England Should Have Done Better On A Pitch Like That Says Geoffrey Boycott On Oval Loss
Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott said that England should have done better on the fifth day of the Test at The Oval. He was of the opinion that the Day Five pitch at The Oval was one of the best in the country. England slumped to a 157-run loss to India, losing all ten wickets on the final day of the fourth Test.
"Let's be honest, nobody was expecting England to chase down their target but they should have done better on a pitch like that. This was one of the best fifth-day pitches you will ever find in England. No uneven bounce, no seam movement and a tiny little bit of old-ball reverse swing. It was perfect for England's batsmen to make a good fist of it, not necessarily win, but have a good go and at least get a draw," wrote Boycott in his column for The Telegraph on Wednesday.
