Former Australian cricketer Brad Hogg shared how England’s wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith looked uncomfortable against Indian pace bowler Mohammed Siraj’s bowling on Day 5 of the fifth Test. India clinched a thrilling six-run win at The Oval, London, to draw the five-match series 2-2 as well.

Commenting on Smith, Hogg said in the latest video on his YouTube channel, “He had a chance to really set his name into the lights of international cricket. The big moment was there, and he was like a deer in the headlights facing those three balls from Siraj. There was one moment, Krishna’s final ball to Atkinson. England still needed eight to win at that particular stage, Woakes with one arm, and I’m thinking, ‘Why have you got all the men on the fence?’ If he gets the boundary, then all of a sudden, you’ve got Siraj bowling to a batsman who has only got one hand on the bat.”

However, England pacer Chris Woakes showed great courage after the side lost nine wickets as well. He came to bat despite a shoulder injury. The veteran had his left arm in a sling under a sweater as well.

“If something happened to Woakes, where he actually faced a delivery, and India sitting there going, ‘How do we bowl to Chris Woakes?’ Obviously, you go for a yorker, but if he was picking it out with that one hand, do India have the right to bowl him a bouncer? If they do bowl him a bouncer and get him in the head and he is unconscious, there are huge ramifications moving forward there. I think on the injury front, you’ve got to be very careful,” Brad Hogg concluded.
