‘Batting without brains’: Geoffrey Boycott in utter Disbelief After England’s Poor Shot Selection in Lord’s Test – Ashes 2023

 England was fully pushed on the backfoot by the Australian bowlers during Day 3 of the alternate Ashes 2023 Test at Lord’s. The hosts failed terribly to carry the instigation from Day 2 and were ultimately whisked out 91 runs behind Australia’s first-inning aggregate.

The poor shot selection by English batters was one of the major reasons for their downfall, and now they stand on the verge of giving a 2- 0 lead to Australia in the five-match series. especially, the Aussie side won the opening Test of the Ashes 2023 by a close periphery of two lattices at Edgbaston.

Continuing their innings on Day 3 at 278/4 in Lord’s, England first lost commander Ben Stokes off Mitchell Starc ‘s delivery, and also they also went on to lose well-set Harry Brook( 50) due to a crazy shot selection. Brook’s redundancy didn’t go down well with numerous of the justice experts and suckers as the 24- time-old literally threw his gate by hitting the short ball straight into the hands of Pat Cummins.

Among all, England’s former commander Geoffrey Boycott was also left deeply disappointed with Brook’s approach and was seen covering his face with his hand in the daises after the English batter’s gate. The videotape of the same was participated by an addict on social media and has ever since gone viral on the internet.

On the other hand, another addict posted the image of a disappointed Boycott calling out the below-par fur display of England, to which the legend responded by lashing out at the approach of English batters.

“ Yes, it does, fur without smarts. drooling to my captain Mike Brearley, ” replied Boycott.

Speaking of the match, Australia presently is in a dominating position with a lead of 221 runs and eight lattices still in hand until the wholes of Day 3.
