Ian Bishop (Source X) West Indies had equalled the two-match Test series by defeating Pat Cummins and Co. on Australian soil earlier this year.

I know it’s tough and I know they probably lost a lot of their mental energy after their performance with the bat in the first innings scoring a lot and they lost the second innings, but Edgbaston is important for learning.” Ahead of the series against South Africa, Bishop urged the team to stay motivated, build confidence and learn from their experiences. He said- “The Richard Boultham Trophy goes to England, but then there is the South Africa series as well. So you know one by one that you represent the people of the West Indies. Every game you play with pride. And that should be enough to give you energy and if that is not enough, you are going to play against South Africa in less than a week or about a week later. And you want to go there with confidence. So there is still a lot to learn playing for a team that is still learning.”

Hardik Pandya is a strong person and has moved on from the IPL setback: Ian Bishop

So, Hardik Pandya’s performance as a player was also not very special. Hardik scored a total of 216 runs in 14 matches played at an average of just 18. However, now he is present with the Indian cricket team for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. So, if the Indian team has to perform well in the T20 World Cup, then Hardik’s performance is very important.

Bishop further said- So, I want the fans to look at it from a different perspective. Fans have the right to express their opinion, and they can express their opinion as they see fit. I am sure that he has reached the biggest stage of international cricket and his full picture is in front of us. He is a strong person.

On the other hand, while replying to this fan and apologizing, Bishop writes on his official social media account – Trust me, I am well aware of what batting is like in this format. I was wrong in my choice of words. It’s just on me. I’m no devil, not yet. But thanks for your reaction. It was praised.

Speaking on SEN Radio, Ian Botham said, ‘You just have to look at the crowd. Crowds have now started coming back to Test cricket. 20-30 years ago, while playing against India in India, the grounds used to be heavy. Suddenly, IPL came and ODI cricket also came and the crowd reduced. People are coming back now and want to watch (baseball). Ian Botham added: ‘At the end of the day you are the entertainer and if you want people to come to games, you have to entertain. They don’t want to see someone scoring 1.2 runs per hour, you just want to see guys dominating the game. You will lose a game or two here or there, but England have played 15 and won 12. England have now sold out all the games on all five days, which was absolutely unheard of. Test cricket is healthier now than it has been in a long time. The England cricket team had won the first test match against India by 28 runs. Then in the second test the team made a comeback and won by 106 runs. The third test match between the two is going to be very interesting.

Ian Chappell wants to change another rule to improve Test cricket

According to Ian Chappell, cricket administrators should take important steps to save Test cricket. Former Australian cricketer Ian Chappell has given his stand regarding the boundary rule. According to Ian Chappell, the umpire should give boundaries to the batting team only when the ball has gone out of bounds. Not only this, when the fielder has caught the ball before the boundary, then changes should be made in that rule. According to Ian Chappell, cricket administrators should take important steps to save Test cricket. He also said that after the end of the over, the batsmen should not be given much time to talk and considering the weather, the drinks break time should be kept short. This will save a lot of time. He also said that when the team or player takes the review, they should use it as soon as possible and also reduce the time of review. In his column for ESPNcricinfo, the former Australian player wrote, ‘Why aren’t boundaries signaled only for balls that hit the rope rather than those that hit a fielder’s legs or hands? The pace of the game is already very low in Test cricket. There is no improvement in it and it is getting slower day by day. It is very important for us to intensify this format further. Boundary rules should be changed: Ian Chappell Ian Chappell has appealed that only when the ball goes outside the boundary line, it should be given 6 runs or 4 runs. According to him, in Test cricket, saving or extra one or two runs will bring about any change in the game. According to him, all this is important in limited overs cricket. However, if the rules are changed then the pace of the game will also increase. Not only this, if in Test cricket we continuously look at catches and other things, it will waste a lot of time. There are many former players who have expressed their views that changes should be made in Test cricket as soon as possible to improve it and for this, all the players and administrators will have to take important steps together. 5 players who have taken the most catches in T20i cricket 4 players who have bowled the most dot balls in cricket (all-format and active players) 5 Indian batsmen who have scored the most runs in their career in first class cricket Top 5 batsmen who scored double century in first class cricket IND vs AFG: Captain Rohit Sharma will give chance to these 11 players, see playing XI Not only Hardik Pandya, Mumbai Indians have also traded these players 5 batsmen who have scored more than 3 thousand runs in T20 International matches Top 10 batsmen who hit most sixes in IPL history IPL 2024: Gujarat Titans’ playing XI will be like this under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. 5 players who have scored the most centuries while opening in all formats of cricket

It is getting slower every day and nothing is being done to make matters better. On one hand, Ben Stokes is making better efforts to promote Test cricket, while nothing like this is being seen from the administrators.

Test cricket is the game played for the longest time and people do not want to watch it anymore. Many people are bored with this format.
