England bowling wouldn't frighten anyone, lucky Virat Kohli and KL Rahul were unavailable: Geoffrey Boycott..
Boycott talked about England's bowling attack and said it was not shocking for him to see Ben Stokes and Co. suffer a crushing series defeat...
Legendary batter Geoffrey Boycott expressed his displeasure over England's bowling resources in the five-match Test series against India..
"It wouldnt frighten anyone: two raw kids in Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir with little first-class bowling as spinners, an ineffectual fast bowler in Mark Wood who just bangs the ball into the track with little movement, a great seamer in Anderson who was used sparingly because he is at the end of his career and an all-rounder Ben Stokes who was unfit to bowl until a bit in the last Test..
Boycott further wrote that England got lucky that Virat Kohli and KL Rahul (after the first Test) were not part of the series but despite that, they failed to beat India..
