  1. Geoffrey Boycott Criticizes England Team For Poor Show Against India Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott has criticized the England batsmen for showing a lack of intent and skills during the first Test against India in Nottingham. England batsmen got out for 183 in the first innings and they allowed India to dominate the game as well. Image source by twitter England skipper Joe Root, however batted brilliantly with a fifty and century in both the innings but rest of the players failed to bat well against Indian pacers. And, the veteran criticized them for showing a lack of application. “I recently bumped into Graham Gooch and we chatted about England’s batting. Fiery, if bowlers keep it tight for four balls, then you know our batsmen will have a go at the fifth and sixth deliveries and there is every chance they will get themselves out,” wrote Boycott in The Telegraph. Joe Root won the toss and opted to bat first but Indian bowlers dismissed them for 183 runs on the board. However, Root held the fort in the second innings with a fine 109-run knock and forced the Test to go to the fifth day as well. “The culture of cricket has changed. Many of us batsmen love playing shots and because of the diet of one day cricket, modern players are pretty good at it, but it is their defensive technique that lets them down,” he further wrote. “It might sound unfashionable because of franchise leagues to talk about staying in and being defensive but teams only have to bowl a few good balls because they know batsmen will soon be tempted to play a big shot.”

India were required to score 157 runs on the final day with nine wickets in hand. The second Test will take place at Lord’s from August 12.
