England remains optimistic that captain Ben Stokes Will recover from cramps on time to lead the bowling attack on the last day of the Manchester test. Stokes delivered a fantastic performance on day 4 at Old Trafford, scored a commander century and had already taken a five-wicket trek in the first innings of India.
Stokes experienced cramps on day 3 while he hit Joe Root and had to leave the field briefly. However, he later returned to the innings and then scored a brilliant 141. Despite his efforts with the bat, the pacer with the right arm did not bend during the 62 overs of England in the second innings of India. The assistant coach Marcus Trescothick expressed the confidence that Stokes would return to full fitness and would contribute to the ball on day 5 of the fourth test.
“He is a bit stiff and painful. He has had a fairly large workload in recent weeks and then struck in the first innings, he got a lot of cramps. We hope that with a night’s sleep and a little more physio will work at night, he will be back and do a little tomorrow,” said Trescothick as quoted by Cricbuzz.
Stokes ended a two -year drought of test for centuries with his impressive knock on Old Trafford and Etste his name alongside legends by reaching a rare milestone. He only became the third cricket player in test history, after Sir Garfield Sobers and Jacques Kallis, to score more than 7,000 points and to take 200 wickets.
While concerned after Stokes had experienced cramps during his innings, Trescothick trashed all the great injury. The physical tribe reflects the heavy workload of the all-rounder, especially in view of the marathon spells that he bowed on the last day of the Lord’s test.
“It’s just a structure. It is such a heavy workload, from where he has been to what he does. It just tries to check it, and of course the cramp he received yesterday, you have that little worries … We will see how he is tomorrow,” Trescothick said.
If not Stokes, others will perform: Trescothick
The former cricket player in England acknowledged that if Stokes is unable to bowl on the last day, the rest of the team will come up to deliver. Stokes has already held a significant workload in the Anderson-Detulkar trophy, which has so far bent 129 over the four tests.
“Well, of course, you know, you get someone from an attack of four men or an attack of five men, it creates a hole. And when you try to push for the victory on a field that, you know, very difficult and gets pretty slow after the ball gets older. You know, let’s not forget, he has five wickets in the first inputs,” Trescothick said.
“So of course it’s a challenge. And it is never great when bowlers go down or, you don’t have anyone available to do the work you have to do. It is just everyone to grab pieces and do the extra workload. You will probably see Joe Root Bowl a little more if he is not available. Hopefully, Fingers is crossed.
Stokes must be subtly managed: Trescothick
Trescothick suggested that the rest of Bowling Stokes on day 4 might have been a strategic step of England to keep him for the last day, although he admitted that he was not aware of all the details behind the decision. In particular, Stokes continued to be everywhere on the field, probably avoiding the delay that would have been waiting to bowl if he had spent time outside the field. Trescothick also admitted that managing a player like Stokes requires a delicate balance, given his ruthless drive to contribute to any facet of the game, either with the bat, ball or in the field.
“He loves bowling, he likes to fascinate, he likes to dive around in the field, sprint and do everything he can do. He is that person who just wants to be involved in the game. And of course, as everyone claims in their career, they grab a little more in the hand of the tooth. Team, you want trescothick to play as many games as possible.
“Dus, natuurlijk, als we op de een of andere manier een manier kunnen vinden om de hoeveelheid overs die hij in het bijzonder te beperken, dan hebben we natuurlijk gedaan. En misschien hebben we het al in verschillende stadia in deze serie gezien waar hij die mammoth spreuken niet noodzakelijkerwijs heeft gekozen, zoals hij een manier kan vinden om een manier te vinden. zal profiteren. De meer games die hij kan rijgen als kapitein en als leider in de groep en de allrounder die hij is, hoe beter dat voor het Team will be, “he concluded.
