Ben Stokes raised questions on technique after losing the match, created ruckus when his teammate was out
Ben Stokes on Zak Crawley LBW Decision : Ever since England handed over the captaincy of the Test team to Ben Stokes and the team adopted the new formula i.e. baseball, the England team has lost a Test match for the first time in Asia. While there is an atmosphere of celebration in the Indian camp after the victory, the English team is in despair. Meanwhile, when England captain Ben Stokes spoke to the media after the match, he raised questions on the technique after the player was out with him. Due to this, an atmosphere of panic has been created on social media.
Ben Stokes raised questions on Crowley’s dismissal
Actually, Ben Stokes has raised questions regarding the dismissal of his teammate Jack Crawley. The 42nd over of England’s fourth innings was going on. The ball was in the hands of Kuldeep Yadav. In front was England’s opening batsman Jack Crawley, who was batting well in his style. A ball from Kuldeep hit Crowley’s pad. All the Indian players appealed, but the on-field umpire did not raise his hand, that is, did not declare him out. Captain Rohit Sharma spoke to Kuldeep Yadav, wicket keeper and other fellow players and challenged the decision. That means they went for DRS. When the third umpire looked at the ball tracking, all three lines turned red and it was found that if the foot was not in front, the ball would have hit the stump. As soon as all this was seen on the big screen, there was an atmosphere of happiness in the entire Team India. Rohit Sharma was watching all this on the screen very attentively and he jumped.
Crowley was out just before lunch
Jack Crawley was batting well. But his dismissal just before lunch dealt a big blow to England. Crawley played a solid innings of 73 runs off 132 balls before being dismissed. During this period he hit 8 fours and one six. When it came to talking to the media after the match, Ben Stokes raised questions on this decision. He said that Jack Crawley’s LBW decision was wrongly given by the technology. In fact, it was clearly visible that the ball was hitting Jack Crawley’s leg stump. Had the ball been a little more outside, an umpire’s call could have been made. In such a situation, Crawley could only have been given not out, because the on-field umpire had not declared him out. Because there is very little difference, perhaps Ben Stokes might be saying this.
India defeated England by 106 runs
Actually Jack Crawley was the only player who could save this match for England. After the first innings, he batted well in the second also. Crowley had scored 76 runs in the first innings of the match. When Jack Crawley was out, the team’s score was 194 runs. But England got a big blow due to Crawley’s dismissal, after which all the wickets of England kept falling one after the other and the team lost the match by a huge margin of 106 runs. Now it remains to be seen whether what Stokes has said will gain momentum in the future or will it end here.
