2nd Test: Stokes Could’ve Been More Aggressive With His Field Placements, Says Aaron
Tendulkar Trophy Test: With India maintaining its stronghold in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston, former fast bowler Varun Aaron believes England skipper Ben Stokes missed a trick by not being more aggressive with his field placements in the first session.
The morning session in day four’s play saw England pick only two wickets as India took their lead to 357 runs. “England definitely came out with the right intent — not just in their bowling but in their body language. They hit the right areas and bowled into the deck, taking a cue from India’s bowling.”
“But I felt Ben Stokes could’ve been more aggressive with his field placements, especially in the first five to seven overs. If he had kept more catchers early on, especially when the bowlers were fresh and the overhead conditions favoured them, they could’ve had Gill or Pant much earlier,” said Aaron to JioHotstar.
