He said, “He was not thinking at all, he did not need to move much to take a catch. It could prove to be a very expensive mistake.”
Delhi: The fifth and final Test match between India and England at Kennington Oval, London has taken a thrilling turn. In such a situation, a small lapse of Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj may be overshadowed by Team India. Siraj gave life to England’s aggressive batsman Harry Brook, on which former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has also expressed displeasure.
Catching a catch, but Siraj collided with the boundary
On the fourth day of the match i.e. the 35th over on Sunday, the famous Krishna was throwing. On the very first ball of this over, Harry Brook played the bridge shot, which went straight towards deep fine leg. Siraj, who was fielding there, caught a brilliant catch while running, but during this time his focus was not on the boundary line. Siraj’s leg collided with the boundary line, which not only declared Brook Notout but England also got six runs on this ball.
Ponting’s sharp statement
Ricky Ponting criticized Mohammad Siraj while talking on Sky Sports during lunch break for this incident. He said, “He was not thinking at all, he did not need to move much to take a catch. It could prove to be a very expensive mistake.”
Ponting further said, “Brook is still at the crease and he reads the bowlers very well. They also bat in the same manner in the Test match as they do in T20.”
Now the question arises whether this mistake of Siraj will take Team India towards defeat? It is also true that if India had got this wicket, then the view of the match could have been something else.
