England’s wicketkeeper-batsman Ben Fox said the last two Tests against Chepauk (Chennai) and Motera (Ahmedabad) on the pitch were the toughest matches of his international career. With the impressive spin bowling of veteran Ravichandran Ashwin and Akshar Patel, India have taken a 2-1 lead in the four-match series.

Fox, who joined the squad to replace Jose Butler because of his rotation policy, said at a virtual press conference here, “The wicketkeeping I’ve done, the last two games have been extremely difficult for me.” In the last game, the pink ball was skid, I had never seen such a pitch before and it was quite challenging to keep up. Fox said he has never seen a cricket ball turn that much. “The two pitches I’ve played now have never seen the ball turn that far before,” he said. It is definitely very challenging. It’s like pitching on the first day, the first day. For Fox, one of the best wicketkeepers in the world, the last two matches have been excellent from a learning standpoint.

“Keeping the wicket when the ball is turning is very interesting and it was easy in Sri Lanka because the ball was spinning there regularly,” he said. On the test with the pink ball, I saw the ball was moving more and slipping off the pitch. He said that no wicketkeeper can catch all the catches on such pitches. “You can’t catch all the balls on such pitches,” Fox said. Looking at the previous test, Fox said the team must accept that the pitch behaves a certain way but they have to do their best.

“It’s good to get out of what we have going on,” Fox said. We have to score runs by fighting. We need to understand our game plan, it will be different for everyone. Even if you are outside, you should try and get out. “England will come here to win and it will not matter if the World Team leaves the World Test Championship,” he said. “We beat every division and we can bring the series down to 2-2. Then it will be a good result.”
