ENG vs SL | Twitter reacts to Ollie Pope’s poor captaincy as he burns ten reviews in series
If captaincy was an art, Ben Stokes certainly would’ve been a renowned artist. In his absence, stand-in captain Ollie Pope failed to step up with precision as he recorded a tenth unsuccessful review in the third session of the third day in the Oval Test between England and Sri Lanka.
Following a sumptuous drive on the first ball of the fourth over, Nissanka got beaten on the inside edge while attempting another one off Gus Atkinson’s good length delivery. As the ball seamed in nicely and thuded the pad, Pope opted for a review after the original verdict favoured the Lankans. However, the ball tracking showed that the leg stump was vividly missing following a clear Ultraedge, Pope was left devastated. Having burnt ten reviews so far in the three-match red-ball series, the Twitterverse broke into debate on the Surrey batter’s captaincy stint.
