  1. Geoffrey Boycott Slams England Top-order Former England captain Geoffrey Boycott has slammed England team after losing the Lord’s Test to India. He has said that Joe Root has ‘cocked up’ with his tactics against India. Image source by twitter On the other hand, several verbal spats took place during day five at Lord’s between the players. The day started with England having the upperhand of the Test but the England team lost control over the game after Bumrah along with Mohammed Shami added an unbeaten 89 runs for the ninth wicket. And, Boycott feels England top-three has to improve and contribute with the bat as it has become a joke. “This Test match has proved two things. Firstly, if you are stupid, you do not deserve to win Test matches. As much as we love Joe Root for his magnificent batting, he cocked up with his tactics,” Boycott wrote in The Telegraph. “Secondly, England cannot keep relying on Joe for all their runs. There has to be an improvement from the top three very soon because it is getting beyond a joke.” “Joe had been doing well with his field placings and captaincy but seeing Jasprit Bumrah at the crease was like a red rag to a bull. He encouraged Mark Wood to just pepper him with fast short balls. It is obvious the England captain and some of his players wanted payback for the working over Bumrah gave James Anderson in the first innings,” he further added. Meanwhile, India registered a convincing win after bowling England out for 120, winning the Test by a massive 151 runs as well. And, the veteran gave full credit to the Indian team for pulling off a remarkable victory as well.

You were absolutely brilliant,” Boycott further shared.
