"If It Does Spin From Ball One...": Ollie Pope On Pitch Ahead Of India vs England Ranchi Test
England would not mind a rank turner in the fourth Test because assistance to spinners from the word go will make it a level-playing field, vice captain Ollie Pope said on Wednesday. The Tests in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Rajkot all had sporting pitches, which were not predominantly spin-friendly and had something for everyone. "If it does spin from ball one, it takes the toss out of the equation, then it's an even playing field," Pope told reporters in Ranchi.
