IND vs ENG 4th Test: ‘Ben Stokes behaved like a spoiled kid’ – Ex-India cricketer | Cricket News

Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has lambasted England captain for his conduct after he called for a draw before the final hour in Manchester.“Ben Stokes behaved like a spoiled kid,” Sanjay Manjrekar said on JioHotstar. Former England cricketer Jonathan Trott, however, defended Ben Stokes.“Common practice in England, and Ben Stokes’ mentality is that there are no personal milestones. If you get offered to end game earlier, it’s taken,” Trott said. Manjrekar was quick to correct Trott and said: “Trott comes from a different culture. Whole world doesn’t play as per English way of cricket.” Jadeja and Washington were batting on 89 and 80 respectively before the start of the last hour of play when England skipper Ben Stokes, aware that a result was out of reach, offered to shake hands.However, with milestones around the corner, the Indian batters refused, which didn’t amuse Stokes, who then introduced Brook into the attack to bowl some deliberate full-tosses, allowing both to complete their well-deserved tons.“I didn’t have a problem with it. England seemed to have a problem with it. They were a bit tired, tired bowlers so they wanted to get off but two lads worked hard to get to 80s and 90s and they wanted to get Test match hundreds,” Hussain said on ‘Sky Sports’.“Stokes didn’t have to bowl Brook and look silly at the end. We make far too much of these things. They played well and all credit to India,” Hussain said.When Cheteshwar Pujara asked the same question to Washington Sundar, he sidestepped the issue.“I think everyone saw on TV what happened and they all must have enjoyed it,” Washington said on JioHotstar.
