According to Brad Hogg, the Indians were looking to keep things extremely tight rather than go for wickets on Day 3 of the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand in Southampton.
Bumrah bowled 11 overs on Sunday and was wicketless while conceding 34 runs. Ishant Sharma sent down 12 overs and claimed the wicket of Devon Conway (54) towards the end of the day’s play. The third pacer, Mohammed Shami, gave away only 19 runs in 11 overs but failed to pick up a wicket.
Analyzing Team India’s bowling on Day 3 of the WTC final on his YouTube channel, Brad Hogg said India’s bowling was okay on Sunday. He elaborated:
According to Brad Hogg, Shami will be the bowler to watch out for as India look to mount a fightback. The former cricketer opined:
Ravichandran Ashwin could have a big impact in the second innings: Brad Hogg
After the pace bowlers struggled to give India the breakthrough, seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin delivered the goods, having Tom Latham (30) caught at short extra-cover by Virat Kohli.
Brad Hogg felt that Ashwin bowled superbly yesterday. Speaking about the offie’s bowling, he said:
New Zealand bowled India out for 217 in the first innings and then responded with 101 for 2 in 49 overs.
