Tension between the Indian and English cricketers in the course of the second Test at Lord’s that ended this week wasn’t restricted to the pitch. It prolonged to past the boundary.
It has emerged within the English media that a few Indian gamers from the bench, who had been coming back from the sector to their dressing room, refused to give means to tempo bowler Ollie Robinson who was strolling out to bat after England had been decreased to 90/7 on the fifth and ultimate day on Monday.
“As [Ollie] Robinson descends the pavilion steps, a few India gamers in tracksuits are coming again in the other way, having simply been out on the sector delivering drinks. Robinson stops and waits for them to step apart,” a report in the Guardian newspaper stated.
“They do not step aside. Robinson waits. They wait. Eventually, after a fashion, they sort of awkwardly squeeze past each other. The whole encounter lasts barely a couple of seconds and yet as a motif for this bruising, absorbing final day it is hard to beat,” added the report which analysed England’s defeat.
After the primary Test at Trent Bridge earlier this month was accomplished easily and with none incident, stress gripped the second Test from the fag finish of the third day when Indian tempo bowler Jasprit Bumrah attacked England tempo bowler James Anderson with brief deliveries.
That set the gamers from the 2 groups at loggerheads in opposition to one another. The variations reached the top with Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Anderson getting concerned in a verbal spat.
