England’s legendary fast bowler James Anderson is facing heavy trolling on social media these days. The reason is his selected all-time Ashes XI, in which he took many surprising decisions. The biggest controversy occurred when Anderson gave the responsibility of wicketkeeper in his team to former Australian captain and legendary batsman Ricky Ponting.

Ruckus over Anderson’s all-time Ashes team

Anderson chose his Ashes XI during a conversation on TNT Sports. In this he made a mistake. He did not include any real wicketkeeper in the team. When his mistake was mentioned, Anderson said, “I will give the gloves to Ricky Ponting.”

Cricket fans were stunned to hear this. Ponting never did wicketkeeping during his professional cricket. Ricky Ponting has been one of the greatest batsmen and fielders in the world. He played this role a few times at the club level, but at the international level he was never seen as a ‘keeper.

English legend targeted by trolls

When this video went viral, fans had a lot of fun with Anderson’s mistake.
One fan wrote, “Who will do the keeping in the team?”
Another user jokingly said, “The best fielder in the world was caught keeping. Amazing!”
The level of trolling increased so much that TNT Sports later removed this video from social media.

Another surprising decision

Anderson did not stop here. He took another shocking decision in the team. Anderson sent Sir Don Bradman to open. Whereas Bradman’s entire career is a witness to the fact that he batted at number 3 in most of the matches and maintained his great average of 99.94. This decision also upset the fans and they again targeted Anderson.

England returns to the ongoing Ashes series

Here, in the current Ashes series, England has made a good start in the second test. In the first innings at Brisbane’s Gabba ground, the team has scored 334 runs on the first day. Joe Root remained unbeaten after scoring 138 runs. Jack Crawley played an important inning of 76 runs. In the end Joffra Archer also contributed 38 runs.

This strong comeback of England after losing the first match by 8 wickets is being said to boost the morale of the team. Australia has started its innings and 2 wickets of the team have fallen.

Ind vs eng 5th test: The five -match Test series between India and England has now reached the decisive turn. The last and fifth Test match of the series will be played at Kennington Oval in London from 31 July. While the host England will take the field with a 2–1 lead, this is the last chance to have a series draw with Team India. The eyes of both teams are on winning this match, but the role of team combination, injury and weather is making this match even more interesting.

There will be a big change in playing XI

The Indian team has suffered a big shock due to the injury of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. Due to which change is fixed for this match in the Indian team. Due to Rishabh Pant’s injury, Dhruv Jurlel is likely to get a chance in the last Test.

At the same time, England has also suffered a big loss in the form of his captain Ben Stokes. He is not fit and in his absence, Oli Pope has been given the command of England.

India’s bowling was weak in the Manchester match, especially when England hit 669 runs in the first innings. Although debutant Anshul Kamboj was in the discussion for his pace, the rest of the bowlers had failed to impact in the match. The batsmen definitely took the team out of crisis, especially Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar’s century innings helped India draw a match draw.
