Ashes 3rd Test: Lloyd Criticizes Root For Bringing On Leach; Says 'It Just Released The Pressure'

By IANS News December 27, 2021 • 20:56 PM View: 1247

Former England cricketer David Lloyd believes that captain Joe Root's decision to give the ball to left-arm spinner Jack Leach at the start of the second session released the pressure on Australia.

Lloyd's comments come after Root deployed Leach to begin the post-lunch proceedings for an hour and with no fielders around the bat, leaving everyone bewildered as England didn't start off with their pacers after reducing Australia to 110/4 in the morning session.
