Never on the Backfoot: A Podcast

57. A drawn game and a memorable victory at Lord's: Analysis of the 1st & 2nd Test ft. Ind and Eng

Welcome to Episode 57 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. This is me Neha Shetty and I’m so glad to have you all listening in. This episode is a review of the 1st and the 2nd Test match featuring England and India. We got to see two high octane matches except for the first test that was poised so well for an Indian victory but rain played spoilsport and ensured we had a draw. But the unbelievable match at Lord’s quite made up for the draw and what an emphatic win registered by Team India. We got to witness an enthralling contest and India go 1-0 up in this 5 match series. We will be discussing the major pointers from the two tests that have happened. We kickstart our discussion with the match summaries of Test 1 and 2, Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul at the top of the order, Pujara and Rahane’s form, the criticism directed at Kohli, the impressive bowling especially the pace department of India, India’s tail, problems for England, Joe Root’s majestic form and a lot more in this packed episode. Do check out @neveronthebackfoot on Instagram and @neverontheback1 on Twitter for the latest facts, trivia, quizzes, terminology, retweets, fresh tweets and a lot more coming up this cricket season. The podcast is also available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Anchor, Overcast and a lot of other platforms. Cheers. Stay safe and take care, listeners <3
