India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey on Friday said the pitch at the JSCA Sports Complex was not a rank turner but they did not expect to play so slow on the second day of the IND vs ENG 4th Test itself.
The hosts were reeling at 219 for seven at the end of day two with England off-spinner Shoiab Bashir grabbed a brilliant 4/84 in his second Test. "Considering the nature of the games we`ve had previously here, the wicket tends to get slower as the day progresses," Mhambrey said after the second day`s play.
