IND Vs Eng Lords Test: In an exclusive conversation with News18 Hindi in Chetan Sharma, he told that for the first time, he was in a lot of trouble in bowling with Pavilion and bowling in Lord’s.
Chetan Sharma, who took 5 wickets at Lord’s ground in 1986, gives advice to Akashdeep
Lord’s ground was built in 1814 and the then construction technique was very limited. The ground was not fully flat, so that it remained a natural slope. Now it has become the identity of slopes Lords, and has been preserved. Some bowlers such as James Anderson and Glenn McGrath used this slope very well. Many players are amazed with this slope when they play in Lord’s for the first time. That is why bowling from pavilion and bowlers like Akashdeep and Nitish Reddy, who plays his first match at Lord’s, may be a little troublesome,
The Indian team got the first win at Lord’s ground under the captaincy of Kapil Dev in 1986 and in this victory, fast bowler Chetan Sharma played an important role. Chetan took 5 wickets in this match. In an exclusive conversation with News18 Hindi in Chetan Sharma, he told that for the first time, he was very difficult to have a problem in bowling from Pavilion and Pavilion End. In the lunch break, Chetan called his coach Deshprem Azad on the landline and asked Chetan to bowl nursery and nursery and unlike Slope. After this, Chetan took 3 wickets from this end, Chetan said that Akash may face a little problem, so Bumrah should bowl with Pavilion and and Akash with nursery end so that he can get a little unhappy. Akash’s B bowling action is like Chetan and if he bowls from the opposite end with the slope, then he can do it again.
To understand the words of former Chief Selector Chetan Sharma, we tried to understand Slope from the ground man. When the nursery comes towards the end from a pavilion corner, you can see this slope of about eight fit downwards. When you bowl from the pavilion end, the fast bowler gets the moment from Asani. In such a situation, Jasprit Bumrah can be seen bowling from there. This slope is also a two -edged sword because if the bowler has not bowled here before then it can be difficult to find a tappa. If you have not bowled much here, then the pavilion can be difficult from the end because you will throw the ball according to your swing, but due to additional help from there, it will be difficult to control the ball. In such a situation, Akashdeep should first bowl himself by bowling from the nursery end and later bowl from the pavilion end. While making a strategy in Lord’s, the captain also needs a lot of understanding the slope.
