Another start is moving away from Nair on English tour

To Nair, the Lord’s test was another chapter in a frustrating pattern. After returning to the Indian side after years in the desert, Nair has repeatedly shown visits to his talent: the beginning that begins, assured, but did not turn them into substantial scores. Its 40 in Lord’s followed similar efforts in the previous parts of the tour, where he has crossed 20 three times, but he has not managed about fifty. Each time, a lapse in concentration or a moment of brightness of the opposition has reduced its entrances.

In Lord’s, Nair’s dismissal was especially unpleasant. He had done the hard work, negotiating the new ball and building a constant collaboration with Rahul. But just as he seemed ready to anchor India’s response, Root’s brightness ended his stay. With India, which has still overcome more than 200 runs and pressure, the inability to take advantage of its start to leave questions about their long -term place, especially with talented young people waiting in their wings.
