The current tour of England through India is resulting to be a story of lost opportunities, since Jos Buttler’s team once again could not explode the slight advantage they obtained with the bat and the ball to finish on the loser side in the first Odi against India at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) stadium in Nagpur on Thursday. England had similarly failed at the top of the situation in the previous T20i series and lost it 4-1 after winning the third game to reduce the margin. In the first hate on Thursday, England made a good start when reaching 70 races without loss in the power game before doing a hash of things and losing Wickts in a group to be released by 248.
Then they have another opportunity to take control of the situation after reducing India to 19/2, getting Barley Rohit Sharma and Yashavi Jaiswal.
But Shubman Gill (87) and Shreyas Iyer (59) added 94 races so that the third Wickt recovers the initiative. Gill and Axer Patel then drove India towards victory.
The captain of England, Jos Butler, expressed his disappointment since his team could not exploit the situation once again after obtaining two opportunities.
“Disappointed not to win the game. I thought we had a fantastic start in the power game. The openers had a great beginning, but losing four wickts was frustrating. The presentation ceremony after the game.
England lost wickts in a group after a good start provided by Phil Salt (43) and Ben Duckett (32). “This is how we want to play. We want to press the opposition and maintain the impulse,” Buttler said.
Buttler agreed that he was becoming a bit predictable to England about how things were in this series in terms of rapid bowling.
“The boys started well, they were 20 by 2. At that time, the game is in balance, if we could have found a way of taking a wickt there, but Gill and Iyer made a good association.
“We want to play better for a longer time, we have demonstrated in stages that we are doing the right thing. When we have the impulse, we want to try to extend that longer,” Buttler said.
The captain of England would expect things to become in favor of his team in the second hate in Cuttack and make the series more interesting.
