IND vs ENG: Joe Root gave a surprising statement before Jonny Bairstow’s 100th test match
The 5th match of the Test series between India and England will be played in Dharamshala from March 7. Jonny Bairstow (Photo Source: Twitter) IND vs ENG: A five-match Test series is currently being played between India and England. Four matches of the series have been played so far and host team India is leading 3-1. So now the last and 5th match of the series will be played between the two teams from March 7 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. Also, this match is going to be very special for the English team’s wicketkeeper batsman Jonny Bairstow. If Bairstow is successful in playing this match, then it is going to be the 100th match of his Test career. Bairstow would like to make this match memorable. However, before the start of this match, former England team captain Joe Root has given a big statement about Bairstow. Joe Root gave a big statement regarding Bairstow Let us tell you that Joe Root said on Sky Sports Cricket Podcast about Bairstow – I think he likes to keep his emotions on his sleeve. I think that’s just who he is. He brings out his performance when it is needed most. The best example of this was when he joined the Yorkshire team at the end of the season, scoring a double century on his return in this season. I met him once at a President’s meeting, Sir Geoffrey Boycott was in that meeting. I remember at that time he told Bairstow that you are playing well in the other team. Keep working hard, keep doing some things right. After this it will not take much time for you to get into the first team. Well, it is worth watching how Jonny Bairstow is going to perform in his 100 international test matches? However, from the statement given by Root regarding Bairstow, you can guess that he is very optimistic about him. It is noteworthy that in the four test matches of this series, Johnny has been able to score only 170 runs with the bat at an average of 21.25.
Amidst the discussion about HawkEye after Joe Root was given out LBW in the ongoing Test series against India, its founder gave a big statement.
Joe Root was disappointed after being given out LBW in the second innings of the fourth Test in Ranchi. Joe Root (Image Credit- Twitter X) Currently a five-match Test series is being played between India and England. So, after English player Joe Root was out LBW in the fourth Test match of this series, there was a lot of discussion about Hawk-Eye and Decision Review System (DRS). Let us tell you that in this Test match held in Ranchi, in the 17th over of England’s second innings, Root missed one of Ashwin’s balls, on which Ashwin appealed, but this appeal was rejected by on-field umpire Kumar Dharmasena. However, after this, on Ashwin’s appeal, captain Rohit took DRS review and in Hawk Eye it was found that some part of the ball was hitting the stump along with the line of the wicket. So after this the on-field umpire’s decision was changed, and Root was given out. So, after the end of this match, England captain Ben Stokes was seen being very vocal about the umpire’s call in DRS and in the cricket world, Hawk-Eye, the technology that helps the third umpire in DRS, got embroiled in a lot of controversies. However, now amidst all this, the creator of this technology, Paul Hawkins, has given a big statement. Paul Hawkins gave a big statement regarding Hawk-Eye Let us tell you that amidst these discussions, while talking on ‘The Analyst’ podcast, Hawkins said – To get an accurate decision, first of all you measure the width of the stump on every day of Test cricket, and then whether the ball is in line or not. After this a straight line is formed. This line is very important (which is outside the route). In tennis sometimes you have zero millimeter margin in or out of the line. But there is a rule in tennis that it is not given out until zero margin is achieved. Tennis we just mark bounce marks for this. But only after showing zero millimeter as 1 millimeter, we will be able to show the impact to the audience. It may sound like a bit of a presentation, but it makes a lot of things clear to the audience. If the ball had not come out after falling it would have been more obvious on TV. So you can see more clearly above the line, which automatically happens when the ball is pitched outside the leg stump. We gave the correct answer as per the rules. But after all this we have an opportunity to improve our presentation and things related to it.
