This was the best game I am including England – Bridan Cars on Lord’s Win
Speaking ahead of the Manchester Test, the English Pesar Bridon Cars said that Lord’s Test was the best game against India that he has played in his international career so far.
He said that he was completely happy after rolling the ball to the stump to dismiss Mohammad Sirj and India lost 10 wickets. Bridan Cars said:
“You wanted to fall on your knees, almost. It was incredible, after all the hard work that the group kept in the five days. This was the best game I am involved with England.
“And, talking to those who have played a lot of franchise cricket and Tests like Harry Brook, which I really meet, he was saying that this is his best test victory. So to hear that among the group, and to share those ideas after the game, there was a special feeling,” Cars told ESPN Krikinfo.
“Once we got down from that ground and passed through a long room, it was an incredible atmosphere … really loud.”
