59. A Disheartening Loss and a Defining Victory: Review of Test 3 & 4 ft. England and India

Welcome to Episode 59 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. This episode is a review of the 3rd and 4th Test match featuring England and India. We got to see two matches that were so distinct in nature and elicited different results. While we had a humiliating loss in Test 3, our team fought back and showed their class in test 4 setting the series up well and going 2-1 up in the series. We will be discussing the major pointers from the two tests that have happened with the match summaries of Test 3 and 4, England’s concerns, Jimmy Anderson and Ollie Robinson’s stupendous form, Puajra’s hot and cold form and Rahane’s obvious inconsistencies, Ashwin’s exclusion and questions on Jadeja’s selection, Lord Shardul supremacy, Rishabh Pant’s form, the pace bowling quartet, Bumrah’s amazing spell on the final day at The Oval, Kohli’s captaincy.
