Former Australia coach Justin Langer has praised Jacob Bethel after his brilliant century at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The former Australian batsman has used some intriguing phrases and left the audience spellbound.
The Ashes hasn’t seen too many glory moments for English cricketers touring Down Under. However, Jacob Bethell played his second game of the Ashes series and managed to score his maiden first-class century.
On the other hand, Joe Root has been one of the most promising batsmen for England and scored his second century of the series. Harry Brook and Jack Crawley were also among the top scorers for England.
Jacob Bethel lights up SCG with brilliant century
Left-handed batsman Jacob Bethel not only played a brilliant innings at the SCG but also threatened to take over the no. Third place in the English red-ball team. Ollie Pope has been struggling at the position since last year, as he has either scored centuries or been out for a duck.
Bethel scored his first century and single-handedly took England’s innings forward. Harry Brook and Ben Duckett were the only batsmen who helped them in the innings. Bethel remained unbeaten at the end of the fourth day and helped England take a lead of 119 runs.
Justin Langer made headlines with a bizarre reaction to Jacob Bethel, praising the English batsman, and his comments suggest he may have loved the batsman’s performance.
Justin Langer said, “Ah, what happened, my boyfriend is coming. My boyfriend is coming.” This comment caused Alastair Cook and the TNT Sports presenter to laugh out loud and welcome Jacob Bethel.
“I love his honesty. I love the way he plays. And yes, dare I say, I love him,” the Australian legend’s comment left Alastair Cook completely mischievous. Cook responded, “I’m not going to quote it for national TV. I’ll let Justin do that.”
In another major achievement, Justin Langer has credited the upbringing of Jacob Bethel for his excellent technique on the backfoot. Langer has said that any player who is good on the back foot can become a promising player in the future.
Langer said, “He tells it like it is. I love what he said about growing up in Barbados. I’ve always said, if I was a kid’s coach, I’d teach them to play with the back foot before the front foot.”
He said, “Because if you have any concerns about playing on the backfoot, it doesn’t matter if you hit 10 billion balls on the frontfoot. You will never be as fast. So, it’s a great upbringing for him, a good lesson for kids who want to be really good players.”
