In the first four sessions of the Lord’s Test between England and New Zealand (ENG vs NZ), 23 wickets have fallen, out of which 13 wickets are from New Zealand and 6 players have been made their victim by this new bowler.
No matter what the stats tell a story, but when a batsman and a bowler face off on a cricket pitch, those old figures don’t matter much. With every new day and every new match, one has to start working hard again. Especially if there is a big and experienced batsman and a completely new bowler has come in front of him, even then the road is not easy for him. Thousands of examples of this have been seen for many years and the latest example is shown in the Lord’s Test. In this Test match between England and New Zealand, the captain of the Kiwi team, Kane Williamson, had to go through the same situation, where a novice bowler returned him to the pavilion twice within two days. Is.
New Zealand’s captain and one of the best batsmen of this era, Kane Williamson, who has been battling for runs for a long time, has not had a good start to the England tour. Williamson, who has always been battling for big innings in England, has been victimized in the very first Test of the series by the 23-year-old bowler, who made his Test debut a day earlier. As long as Kane Williamson’s international career is, this bowler does not even have a first-class career, but the game is such a thing, in which all this does not matter in the field.
hunted twice in 24 hours
England’s right-arm fast bowler Matthew Potts made his international debut with the Lord’s Test which started on Thursday 2 June and his start is nothing short of a golden dream. Potts started his career on the very first day by hunting a legend like Kane Williamson on just the fifth ball and the same trend continued on the second day as well. In the first session of the second day of the match on Friday 3 June, New Zealand started their second innings and soon lost 3 wickets.
This time too, Matthew Potts made Williamson his victim. Potts got Williamson caught by a street fielder in his second over and ended the Test disappointing for the Kiwi legend.
Potts took 4 wickets in New Zealand’s first innings itself, while in the second innings too, this bowler took 2 wickets in the first session itself. Till lunch, New Zealand scored only 38 runs in their second innings for the loss of 3 wickets, after which only 29 runs came in their account. New Zealand still have 7 wickets left and in such a situation Potts can hunt even more.
