Brainless batting and bowling lost England the Perth Test: Sir Geoffrey Boycott
The well-known commentator further explained, “It is simple. Brainless batting and bowling lost England the match. A 40-run lead on a fast, bouncy, low-scoring pitch was huge, and with Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope together at one stage, England was in charge at effectively 100 for one.”
Boycott signed off by saying, “But as exciting as this England team can be, they are always only a blink of an eye away from self-destruction. Bazball, bad judgment, overconfidence, whatever the reason, it makes winning matches difficult. Against top teams like India and Australia, it is a huge factor in losing.”
