But he scored just 22 runs in the Lord’s Test, 16 in the first innings and 6 in the second. He looked unsure in the second innings and got out to Brydon Carse. Sanjay Manjrekar spoke about Gill on X. He said Gill was struggling because the English players were tough on him in the second innings. This was England’s reaction to Gill’s behavior towards Zak Crawley which created stress at Lord’s.

This is before the fourth Test against India, which starts in Manchester on July 23. Dawson, 35, last played a Test for England in July 2017. He’s back in the team after Shoaib Bashir hurt himself while fielding during the third Test at Lord’s. England won that game by 22 runs, leading the five-match series 2-1.

The 80s was the era of fast bowlers and aggressive all-rounders like Imran Khan, Kapil Dev, Richard Hadley and Ian Botham. They were not just stars, they were the face of that decade. Imran and Kapil were the symbols of their country’s growing strength in the sport. Ravindra Jadeja may not reach the level of those legends but he’s one of the best all-rounders in the game today. It’s not just about the numbers but also his exciting playing style and engaging personality. Early on he was seen as a left-arm spinner who could hit some runs down the order.…

Stop throwing your wickets away with silly, over-aggressive shots. You are better than that and England needs more from you, Boycott said. Coach Brendon McCullum recently said England isn’t focused on ‘Bazball’ and…
