In the first Test against India at Headingley, England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and elected to bowl first. The decision turned fatal as the Indian batters had a terrific day, posting 359/3. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill scored a century each, while Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten for 65 runs. In the heat, the England bowlers got tired early and that helped the Indian batters settle quickly and pace their innings accordingly. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/tim-southee-england-s-bowling-consultant-defends-ben-stokes-bowling-first-decision-against-india-at-heading-2025-06-21-995642
The game of cricket is filled with uncertainty and that seems to be the case with modern-day Aussie great Steven Smith. Steven Smith who was once considered an heir to the all-time great Don Bradman has been in a tough patch lately. The technique that made Smith, the invincible batsman he once was now seems to be working against him. It is not just the case with Steven Smith. The other three apart from Joe Root which includes the likes of Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, and Steven Smith have been consistently failing and the situation just doesn't seem to improve.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/ricky-ponting-extends-his-support-to-out-of-form-steven-smith-advises-smith-to-plan-better-2022-07-29-795814
