Staying In Game With Big 1st Innings Score Will Be Key: Graham Thorpe
Staying in the game and being able to put up a big score will be key for England players, the visiting team's batting coach Graham Thorpe here on Friday. He also emphasised the need for England batsmen to play the sweep shot well enough to outfox the fielders.
"There is a hell of lot of hard cricket ahead of us. We hope the games will be longer than in Sri Lanka. We hope to be able to stay in the game. The first innings is going to be crucial, whether we bat first or second. Staying in the game will be important. To be able to bat and put runs on the board is going to be key. And then we have to work hard to get wickets. India are strong at home," said Thorpe while speaking to media in a virtual interaction.
