Jasprit Bumrah (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has praised India’s leading fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah for his unique bowling style and effectiveness. It is worth noting that Jasprit Bumrah’s different action and consistent brilliant performance have given him recognition in the cricket world. Basit Ali has talked about Bumrah’s ability to deceive batsmen with this “strange” action and called it an important factor in his success. Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling action is very different: Basit Ali Basit said on his YouTube channel that he is special. He said, “Even if you play Bumrah on a cement pitch, his action is so strange that he can deceive the batsmen. That is the truth. That is why I call him Boom Boom. He comes and takes a wicket and then takes 3 wickets in his next spell. He is very deceptive, the slow ball he bowls is accurate. Usually the balls you bowl in white ball cricket, he takes wickets on such balls in the Test format.” Bumrah is included in the Bangladesh Test series Jasprit Bumrah is making a comeback to the Indian team after his match-winning performance in the T20 World Cup final against South Africa. He has been included in India’s squad for the first Test against Bangladesh, which will begin on September 19 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

ENG vs SL: ‘Questionable decision on a turning pitch’: Eoin Morgan on decision to leave Ollie Pope out due to bad light
Due to poor light, some overs of the third day of the ongoing second Test between England and Sri Lanka could not be played. Ollie Pope (Image Credit- Twitter X) The second Test match between England and Sri Lanka (ENG vs SL) is going on at Lord’s. The third day of the game ended yesterday on 31 August. On the third day, England set a strong target of 483 runs for Sri Lanka to win, while by the end of the day’s play, England had taken the wickets of Pathum Nissanka and Nishan Madhushka in Sri Lanka’s second innings. However, England could have bowled a few more overs in the match, but the game could not proceed due to poor light. But at this time captain Ollie Pope did not consider it necessary to put the fast bowlers on bowling again and he went to the dressing room with the team. So, on the third day of the match, due to the bounce and turn of the pitch, he could have got some overs bowled by spin bowlers, but he did not do so. On the other hand, now a big statement of former captain Eoin Morgan has come out on this decision of Ollie Pope. Morgan says that this decision of Pope on the turning pitch is suspicious. Eoin Morgan gave a big statement Let us tell you that after the end of the third day of the second Test between England and Sri Lanka, Eoin Morgan said in a discussion with Sky Sports – I think this is a questionable decision. The reason behind this is the entire last hour of the game, the reason is darkness. There is a reason why fast bowlers cannot bowl. This is dangerous for all the people involved in playing the match. I completely understand the concern about the condition of the ball, but you are talking about England’s premium fingerspinner in Shoaib Bashir who needs to bowl. The ball is moving and bouncing, I question the decision, you have runs to play. Everything is in your favour, but still you are sitting in the dressing room.
There was no problem with the pitch but with the players…: Salman Butt gave his opinion on the performance of the Pakistan team after the first Test

(Photo Source: ARIF ALI/AFP via Getty Images) After losing the first Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi, the Pakistan team is being criticized a lot. Let us tell you, in the first Test match played in Rawalpindi, Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets. Bangladesh has defeated Pakistan for the first time in a Test match. Now former captain Salman Butt has also given his opinion on this defeat of the host. Let us tell you, in the Rawalpindi Test, Pakistan did not include its important spinner Abrar Ahmed in the playing XI and the team played this match with four fast bowlers. However, their plan did not succeed and Bangladesh’s spinners bowled brilliantly in this match and completely destroyed Pakistan’s batting lineup. Pakistan’s assistant coach Azhar Mahmood has raised questions about the pitch and said that the pitch did not prove to be important for the fast bowlers the way he thought. Now Salman Butt has put forth his point of view on this. The former player shared a video on his YouTube channel and said, ‘Where do I start this? You came out to play with four fast bowlers and then you declared your innings. Not only this, you did not bowl with line and length and everything did not go in your favor. According to me, for the first time the average speed of Bangladesh bowlers was more than us. They looked fitter than us. The junior fast bowlers of our team performed better than the seniors. This team has made many mistakes and I don’t know where to start from? We have no idea who we should pick and who we should blame. There was no problem with the pitch: Salman Butt Salman Butt further said, ‘There was no problem with the pitch. The quality of our bowling was very poor. Our bowling coach said that we did not get much turn on the pitch. Not only this, the bowlers also criticized it. This does not make any sense especially when the Pakistan team was all out within two sessions. Their fast bowlers got wickets. Bangladesh’s fast bowlers got the top order out and the spinners played their role quite well in the middle. So it would not be right to blame any one of them. Let us tell you, for the first time Pakistan has lost a Test match at home by 10 wickets. However, the host will look to make a strong comeback in the second Test.

In this match, all the players from Bangladesh performed very well and played an important role in their team’s victory. Pakistan’s players failed to perform well in this match. After the match, Pakistan Test team captain Shan Masood made a big revelation about the Rawalpindi pitch. According to Shan Masood, the pitch did not play the way they had thought. Not only this, Shan Masood also agreed that the players of the Pakistan team performed disappointingly in the first test. In the presentation after the match, Shan Masood said, ‘I will not make any excuse but the pitch did not play the way we had thought. The weather was also very bad in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. It has rained here for the last 8 to 9 days. Looking at the pitch, it seemed that the bowlers would get a lot of help here and that is why we gave as many opportunities as possible to the fast bowlers. However, at the end of the day, it did not prove right for us. We declared the innings because we wanted to take the game forward. Not only this, we could have performed better in bowling and fielding. The second and final Test match between the two teams will start from August 30 Talking about the first Test, the host players were unable to leave their mark. Not only the bowlers but the batsmen also performed very poorly in the second innings. Now the second and final Test between these two teams is starting from 30 August. Pakistan will definitely want to win the second Test. Currently, Bangladesh is leading 1-0 in the two-match Test series.

“Has the pitch been made or..” Why did Naseem Shah raise questions on the pitches made by his own cricket board?
Naseem Shah, one of Pakistan’s leading fast bowlers, openly expressed his displeasure over the pitches in Pakistan in a press conference. Naseem Shah (Image Source: Twitter) The first match of the Test series is being played between Pakistan and Bangladesh. After the fourth day of the first Test match, a debate has once again erupted over the pitches in Pakistan. The condition of pitches in the country has been a controversial issue, especially following criticism during Pakistan’s home series against Australia and England in 2022. Critics said the pitches were highly favourable to the batsmen, leading to an unbalanced contest that did not suit Pakistan’s strengths. Hopes were high that the new administration would address these concerns by improving the quality of pitches for home Tests. However, similar problems have been reported in the ongoing Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi, where the pitch remains highly favourable for batsmen. These questions are being raised after Bangladesh scored 565 runs in the first innings. Pakistani bowlers are now getting angry themselves This pitch has not only affected the competitiveness of the match but is also causing frustration among the Pakistani bowlers, who are struggling a lot. Naseem Shah, one of Pakistan’s leading fast bowlers, openly expressed his displeasure during the press conference. Let’s know what Naseem Shah said about the pitches Naseem said in the post-match press conference, “I believe we have played many such series where we have got such pitches. People tried their best to prepare a helpful pitch, but I think the surface was not that helpful due to the heat or excessive sunlight. We have to think about how we can take advantage of playing on home ground, because you have to win the match at any cost. We did not get the help from the pitch that we expected. But everyone tried their best.” Asked how Pakistan can take advantage of playing on home grounds, Naseem said efforts could be made to aid the spinners if green pitches are difficult to maintain. Naseem further said, “This is not my expertise, but we have to use the home advantage. If we cannot make green pitches that help fast bowlers, then give us pitches that help spinners. Test cricket has come a long way now. Fans are coming to watch matches even in this heat. You feel the need to entertain them. You should not feel that you are facing challenges while playing the game.”
