“He is the Best Bowler in the World,” Duckett Said After the Day’s Play. “He’s extremely hard to face. He’s good in any Conditions; He’s good in India on the Flatest Pitches Ever and when He’s Coming in Down the Hill at Headingley with the Lights on and it’s Swinging Both Ways. I Feel Like We Minimized the Damage Early on.”
Duckett Said The Situation Could Have Been Much Worse For England Given Jasprit Bumrah’s Quality. He Said that batters Should Not Let Bumrah Settle, Adding The Need to Capitalize On Any Loose Deliverries and Put Pressure To Disrupt Temps.
“It could have been a lot worse Today… He is just a World-Class Bowler, and you can do let someone like Him Just Bowl; He’s too well. You’ve Got To Still Try and Put Him under Pressure, and Try to put the Bad Balls Away,” Duckett Added.
Jasprit Bumrah Ended with Figures of 3 for 48 in 13 Overs. The Rest of the Indian Bowling Attack Struggled, Conceding 154 Runs in 36 Overs at an Economy Rate of 4.27. Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur Leaked 79 Runs in 13 Overs Between Them Without Taking A Wicket.
Bumrah Nearly Claimed A Fourth Wicket Late in the day when he surprised Harry Brook with a Sharp Bourncer. Although the Catch was Taken, the Dismissal Was Orturned as Bumrah Had Overstepied.
Ben Duckett also Praised Ollie Pope for His Match-Defining Century, Saying He Felt Goosebumps Watching the Celebration. He Said that pope delivered under press Amid Growing Speculation About Ho Spot, Especially with Jacob Bethell on the bench.
“I had goosebumps for him. You go one down and he comes in and takes all the press on you and scores Quick. He is such a legend and such a big part of this team. We know there is noise outside the dressing room so to go and score 171 then 100 is something else.”
“If he does get in, he gets 100s and someone like Him at 3 Against India, it is a no brainer. Popey scored 100s, and he Did it away as well when we we won- he is a match winner. It is a great start to the series for Him,” Duckett Said.
