Shubman Gill vs Zak Crawley: ‘Why Gill was massaging …’, Former cricketer supported Caruli on the last over drama

The third day of the India vs England third Test being played at Lord’s Cricket Ground ended with a sharp debate between Shubman Gill and Jack Caruli. Actually, the batsman Carulie was deliberately spoiling the time, the Indian captain erupted. There was a sharp debate between the two. For this, former cricketer Tim Southee reacted and supported the batsman. KL Rahul said that if I am an opener, I can understand.

There was some time left for the third day’s game to end, when England’s second innings started. Jasprit Bumrah was putting the first over, if it was completed from time, then the second over could have been put but Jack Caruli and Ben Docket did not want that. On the second ball, Caruli was unnecessarily withdrawn, on the fifth ball, he spoiled the time by making an excuse for injury to his hand.

What did Tim Southee say

Southee is currently the bowling consultant of the England team. He said at the press conference after the third day’s play was over, “This is good. It is always good to see the enthusiasm of both the teams in the last time. Do not know what Shubman Gill was complaining, while he was lying down to get a massage in the middle of the match yesterday. This is part of the game, this is a thrilling way to finish the game.”

Meanwhile, when asked on Caruli’s injury in a funny manner, he also jokingly said, “Yes, he will be investigated tonight, hoping that he will be fit to play on the fourth day.”
