Former England captain Nasir Hussain termed the proposal of Ben Stokes to finish the fourth Test early as Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar to call Harry Brook’s decision to bring Brook into the bowling attack as ‘uninterrupted’. Hussain said that Jadeja and Sundar were entitled to their centuries.
Hussain told ‘Sky Sports’, “I had no problem with this (Jadeja and Sundar’s batting). England seemed to be a problem with this. They were a little tired, the bowlers were tired so they wanted to leave the field, but both the players worked hard to reach 80 and 90 runs and they wanted to score a century in the Test match.
He said, “Stokes in the end did not need to show Brook bowling and shown it uninterrupted. We give much importance to these things. He played well and the entire credit goes to India.
When Cheteshwar Pujara asked Washington Sundar the same question, he postponed the matter. Sundar said on ‘Geographstar’, “I think everyone saw what happened on TV and they all enjoyed it.”
Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar believed that the Indian batsman had the right to continue the game accordingly. He said on ‘Geographstar’, “I think Ben Stokes finally behaved like a bad child.” He said, “I would like to see what England would have been if his two batsmen were close to the Test century?”
