Anil Kumble rubbishes ball tampering allegations against Virat Kohli
England may shuffle their resources further this weekend as they seek to battle back from 1-0 down with three to play. “But in case of an Indian player it backs out”, argued Qadir.
The match in question is the Rajkot Test which ended on November 13 and if England team had any complaints, they needed to make it official by November 18.
England fast bowler Chris Woakes felt there are too many grey areas when it comes to players shining the ball, something that is done nearly every ball.
Tuesday rejected a ball-tampering investigation against Indian skipper Virat Kohli. “We never gave excuses when we lost matches overseas”.
Consistency – After contrasting batting display in the First and Second Test England need to be more consistent in their batting if they are going to stand any chance of winning in the Third Test.
With the third Test due to start here on Saturday, Kumble asserted that the Indians are not too anxious about the pitch at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium.
On dismissing the Indian batsmen, Woakes said, “It is saddening that our main fast bowler Stuart Broad is not playing this time, he is a world class player, he is a great bowler, if he had be here for some longer time then our plan of dismissing batsmen for other side would have become more stronger”. It is a very Indian thing in front of your seniors you do not want to admit you drink or go to parties. They managed to pick up wickets even in the spin-friendly track in Vishakhapatnam.
“It’s just such a grey area in the laws of cricket”, du Plessis said.
Jayant made scores of 35 and 27 not out from number nine, took four wickets with his off-breaks and featured in the first-innings run-out of Haseeb Hameed.
“It’s amusing isn’t it, 18 months ago we were looking for openers and now it’s the middle order”. Also, Ajinkya Rahane needs to look at his game in the nets as he hasn’t been up to the mark in this series.
There have been quite a number of updates regarding the injury concerns in either team. And Kohli has seen both sides of the fandom in India.
“Everything we’ve worked on in Bangladesh and India is about trying to rotate (the strike) wherever possible”, said Ramprakash. “Whatever happens with the hearing. our focus is entirely on the Test match that is coming ahead”.
He even brought Richardson’s background into the debate, saying the former test wicketkeeper was part of South Africa’s “ball shining brigade” in his playing days. But few changes might come in. England could pick an extra batsman, allowing them to retain Ben Duckett – they are keen not to dent his confidence – and find a place for Jos Buttler. I would wake up in morning and feel like I had energy. But then I realised that over a period of time you set those benchmarks and those standards for yourself.
While Bairstow played some shots, wickets fell around him, with Adil Rashid (4) departing just before lunch – edging behind off an attempted upper-cut to Shami – and Zafar Ansari bowled by Ashwin for a duck in the second over after the interval. “He should also be fined”, he said while talking to a private news channel.

The last contest of the first month of England’s three-month tour of India gets underway on Saturday, with the third of five Test matches in the tour. The team goes on to win as well, so there is nothing more you can ask for.
