- For the last three days, India barely displayed any rust of not having played Test cricket
- This was also India`s largest victory by runs in women`s Test cricket
- Test cricket is no sprint, and it usually rewards teams that can grind out results
Even in defeat, England captain Heather Knight could hardly hide her relish for India’s bullet-like bowling. “We learned a lot from how India played in their first innings, how they found that right level between attack and defence and trying to put pressure back on the bowlers.”
Having conquered India in its backyard in T20Is last week, Knight will get her next shot at that elusive victory in less than three months, when New Zealand’s home series gets going in Dunedin on March 19. But following their one-off Test defeat to India in three days, there is plenty to do between now and then.
