Headingley Test: Anderson can’t hide excitement as England bowls out India for 78 runs

On the first day of the third Test, England's bowlers put in a terrific effort, dismissing India for 78 runs in the first two sessions.

James Anderson is ecstatic

England demonstrated exactly what it wanted to do with both the ball and the bat, Anderson said this during a virtual press conference following the conclusion of the day's play at Headingley.

Because these days don't come around very often, as per Anderson. He added that England must be grateful when they perform like that.

In the Boxing Day Test in 2010, England had dismissed Australia for 98 runs.

'Would have bowled first, had we won the toss'

Anderson stated that he would prefer to bowl in that match, but that if Joe Root had won the toss on Wednesday, he would want England to bat. As per him, he was attempting to persuade Joe to bat if he won the toss.

The England paceman, however, stated that he had no idea if the hosts had bowled well or if the track was more favourable to the bowlers.

England batmen kept their calm

The Indian bowlers were unable to obtain the same level of purchase from the pitch as their English counterparts, failing to land the ball in the full lengths that had previously hampered their batsmen.

England's openers, Haseeb Hameed and Rory Burns, ensured the team headed into tea unbeaten, scoring 21 runs in the process.

In the last session, the two batted calmly, barely allowing the Indian pacers to get a foothold. They took advantage of the bad deliveries while leaving the good ones alone to keep the scoreboard ticking.

Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed ensured England got the honours on the opening day of the ongoing third Test after bundling out India for 78 runs.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
