New Delhi, Oct 13: John Campbell had mixed emotions after the end of day four in the second Test between India and West Indies.
While Campbell was happy to have batted for a long time on way to his maiden Test century, he indeed had a brain fade moment when he tried to play a non-existent reverse sweep off Ravindra Jadeja.Campbell was well set on 115 when he decided to execute the high-risk shot off a wicket-to-wicket delivery from Jadeja that pitched on middle and leg stump line.“At that time I just thought the shot was on, just a little bit of miscalculation on my part,” Campbell admitted after stumps.Campbell indeed was disappointed as he and Shai Hope (103) had added 177 runs for the third wicket pretty comfortably before he got dismissed.“I am disappointed.
I never want to get out, but that’s the nature of sport. Shai and me, we just wanted to bat as long as possible, that was always the plan. We both got started, so we wanted to take it as deep as possible.”
On the third evening, Campbell had attacked Kuldeep Yadav after his five-for in the first innings. However he said that there was wasn’t any specific plan. (PTI)
