Nottingham: British Skipper Joe Root on Sunday says that his bowler can create opportunities if they have the opportunity to at least 40 overs on Indian Batters on the last day of the first test.
The match ended with a draw after India 52 for 1, chasing 209 in the fourth round.
“I think from our point of view, at one stage, we can potentially 40 overs, in that period, (i) feel like we will be able to create many opportunities on the surface like that,” Root said at the post-match press conference.
“So in many ways, the weather has robbed us all the cricket test last last day, which is embarrassing,” Root said.
According to the root, the game can turn on his head on the surface used in the surface used suitable but the Indian is a bit ahead.
“India may be in the driver’s seat in today.
We know on the goal like that, get some of the numbers on it, the game can turn on his head,” Root said.
But he argues that Indian Bate will feel the pressure of hitting the surface of the fifth day.
“The pressure of batting on the fifth day of the goal, things can be very fast (can) have fallen for us.
We certainly believe that we will be able to create a normal opportunity if we are enough Both in the field and take it, it could be interesting, fortunately the weather has won, “he said.
According to the root, his team “grew into a very good game” and after the first half, his team was far below par and 250 on the goal was the first strong Innings score and it would make a lot of life “complicated for India”.
Root also acknowledges that the team knows there is a lot to do and they need to catch better and need to make the first half of the big walk and they have poke about time and again.
The second test of the five-match series will be played from August 12 at the Lord icon in London.
