Ben Stokes' Explosive Take On Zak Crawley LBW Row

Ben Stokes’ Explosive Take On Zak Crawley LBW Row: After being out against India in the second Test, England skipper Ben Stokes thought on Monday that their opening batsman Zak Crawley was given a wrong choice by DRS to be declared leg before wicket.

In his two innings, Crawley scored 76 and 73 runs, making him the greatest batsman for England during the match. In a tight DRS call before lunch on day four, he combined boldness and prudence to put pressure on the Indian bowlers, but he was eventually declared leg before wicket off Kuldeep Yadav.

Middle stump produced a ball that Kuldeep turned back in on the sixth delivery of his opening over. The DRS indicated that the ball was striking the leg stump even though it appeared to be moving down the leg.

Stokes did not seem to agree with the DRS call.

“Technology in the game is obviously there. Everyone has an understanding of the reasons it can never be 100% which is why we have the umpire’s call. That’s why it’s in place. When it’s not 100% as everyone says, I don’t think it’s unfair for someone to say ‘I think the technology has got it wrong on this occasion’,” Stokes said after the 106-run loss.

“And that is my personal opinion. I will say that. But in a game full of ifs, buts and maybes, I am not going to say that the reason why we haven’t got the result we wanted. I’m just saying my personal opinion is that the technology has gone wrong on this occasion, and I think that’s fair to say.

“You can’t really do much with things that have been and gone. A decision has been made, and you can’t really overturn a decision that has been made. That is where I stand on that,” he said.

Additionally, Stokes disclosed that a few players on the team had woken up unwell on Monday morning. Ben Foakes, Ollie Pope, and Tom Hartley—all of whom batted in the second innings—were reportedly not at full strength.

“A couple woke up this morning not feeling great, and when everyone had the same symptoms you know there is something going around. There’s a bit of a virus going round, it’s not an excuse for the result or anything, because it’s a game full of ifs, buts and maybes.

“Something that is not ideal. You obviously want everyone to be 100% and feeling great. But proud that the guys who were feeling under the weather didn’t shy away from anything they needed to do and gave it their best,” said Stokes adding that Joe Root felt a lot better about his right little finger before walking out to bat on Monday.

In the final two Sunday sessions, Root did not play. On February 12 or 13, England will depart for their training camp in Abu Dhabi and fly back to India for the third Test in Rajkot. On February 15, the third Test gets underway.

They need one more win to qualify for the playoffs. On the other hand, the Titans have won five matches and lost seven matches so far. They are already out of the playoff race.

They will lock horns with Gujarat Titans in their next game on Thursday.

The team led by Pat Cummins broke several records and emerged as one of the most threatening teams in the tournament. In the last game, SRH started the innings with a bang, openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma started to smash from the first ball in the powerplay as usual and played magnificent innings.

GT lost their momentum mid-season, and despite several efforts, it failed to leave an impact.

IPL 2024: Mohammed Siraj's Baffling Comment, Virat Kohli's "Alag Cricket Chal Raha hai"

Mohammed Siraj’s Baffling Comment, Virat Kohli’s “Alag Cricket Chal Raha hai”: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) squad had a terrific victory over Delhi Capitals (DC) on Sunday in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, and the team’s locker room was celebrating.

In addition to earning RCB the crucial two points, the 47-run victory improved their Net Run Rate and put them in a better position to finish in the top 4.

Players were making jokes about their teammates in the changing area, which created a genuinely joyous mood.

One of the best parts of the changing room sequences was definitely the banter between Mohammed Siraj and Virat Kohli.

In a video shared by RCB on social media, Kohli and Siraj were engaged in a fun conversation, with RCB spinner Karn Sharma also getting involved. Here’s how the conversation went:

Siraj: What a comeback! We only wanted to take it one game at a time. Qualification or the playoffs is not in our control. What is in our control is, fast bowlers have the balls, batters have the bat. All we have to do is attack. If we qualify, it’s very good. But we just want to continue playing this brand of cricket.

Kohli: (laughs) He is saying batter has a bat and bowler has a ball

Siraj: The mindset is to take wickets, right?

Virat Kohli’s “Alag Cricket Chal Raha hai”

Kohli: (laughs) Alag cricket chal rahi hai (he is playing different cricket). Just say, “All I can see are stumps”

Siraj: Siuuuuuu…

Kohli: (laughs) He is saying see you.

In another video shared by RCB, the franchise’s players could be seen celebrating their victory against DC, the fifth consecutive of the season, in a wild manner.

Though RCB’s playoffs qualification hopes have been given a big boost, the situation still isn’t completely in their hands. RCB don’t just need to beat CSK in their final league match of the season but also hope for a few other results to fall in their favour.
