WTC Finals: Bad Lights Robbed Us of Chance to Beat Ross Taylor Tonight, says Shubman Gill
Indian opener Shubman Gill feels a weak light has robbed his team of a chance to crack Ross Taylor and make further inroads on New Zealand’s batting on day three of the World Test Championship final in Southampton.
“Conway was a crucial wicket for us and I feel that if we would have been able to bowl a few overs to Ross Taylor, we might have been able to get couple of more wickets,” said Gill during the the virtual media conference.
“We would have a slight edge tomorrow as both batsmen (Taylor and Kane Williamson) are relatively new at the crease,” Gill said.
New Zealand ended at 101 for two with Devon Conway (54) being dismissed at the stroke of stumps.
Gill did admit that it”s been a problem as they have now failed to cross 250 against New Zealand on five successive occasions.
“I think the Tests we played in New Zealand (in 2020), we didn’t have too much time to prepare as the focus was more on ODIs and T20s. As you said, we haven’t been able to cross 250 in the last five Tests.
