Former Australian cricket group skipper Tim Paine mentioned that he likes to see England lose and added that the Ben Stokes-led facet is at the moment shedding to an “Indian B side” contemplating the variety of star cricketers who’re lacking from motion. In a latest dialog, Paine was discussing the continuing Test collection between India and England with former Australia batter Simon Katich who was all reward for Rohit Sharma and Co with particular point out for Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel who show India’s squad depth.
“But they have been playing against the Indian B team because there has been no Kohli, no Shami, Bumrah got rested last Test, KL Rahul is out and Rishabh Pant is still making his way back from that accident,” Katich mentioned on Around The Wicket podcast.
“They are not their strongest team but it just goes to show that the depth in Indian cricket is huge because there are some big names coming into this next era of Indian cricket. Jaiswal is leading the charge; young Jurel was magnificent in the last Test as well. So India are looking very strong,” he added.
Paine echoed comparable sentiments as he recalled Australia’s loss to India within the 2018-19 Test collection at house when the guests had been in an identical scenario with a number of senior gamers lacking from motion.
“I know what it’s like to be beaten by an Indian B team. Unfortunately, it happened to us on our home soil. But yes, some huge names out for India, which should have certainly helped the English. I thoroughly enjoy watching England play the game, I love the way they are going about it. I love watching them lose. Don’t get me wrong but they are entertaining and exciting,” Paine mentioned within the podcast.
