“She is thinking the bat got stuck but if you see the second run she was jogging. Why are you running in a relaxed manner when you know when your wicket is so important? You have to play professional cricket to win. Look at the dive Perry made to save those two runs. That is what professionalism is.
“They do not quit until the tip and we aren’t able to battle in any respect. You cannot be falling on the final hurdle on a regular basis.
“She was casual on the second run. She thought she would comfortably reach. We were told in the 1970s by Mr. Sunil Gavaskar that every ball you have to learn to ground your bat then only you get into that habit,” she stated.

Though nonetheless a youngster, Shafali Verma is into her fourth 12 months of worldwide cricket. She was under par within the World Cup and didn’t have one of the best of instances within the U-19 World Cup the place she was captain.
“If Shafali Verma thinks she can’t be dropped then she is mistaken. I would like to see videos of her getting out, which ball has been good enough to get her out? Her shot selection is so poor.
“Even within the U-19 World Cup, she didn’t carry out with the bat although the crew received. Let the opposite U-19 opener (Shweta Sehrawat) are available in and take her place.
“And what was the need for Jemimah for play that shot? You just got a four before, read the game a little more considering the game situation.
“Smriti and Harman too have been inconsistent that’s the reason India haven’t received a significant match. The expertise is there however they must be given rigourous coaching. We have sufficient firepower within the batting division.”
Edulji feels a change in leadership will not make much of a difference.
“A captain is pretty much as good because the crew. if Smriti is available in, identical gamers are there. It will not make a lot of a distinction. Also it is excessive time that musical chairs of the help workers is stopped. What is the bowling coach doing? The bowling has deteriorated. Spinners have fully gone off form.
“With great difficulty we beat Pakistan, West Indies. We should have gone all out against England to escape Australia in the semifinals. They struggled against Ireland too. Okay these were tired (over used) wickets but everyone was playing on the same surface,” added Edulji.
