After a lacklustre Test summer, Sir Geoffrey Boycott criticises Ben Duckett,  “Viv was special, Ben isn’t”

“Ben Duckett exemplifies McCullum style. His runs are rat-a-tat-tat, shot a ball. Great shots, slogs, pulls, and sweeps "Boycott said.

After a lacklustre Test summer, Sir Geoffrey Boycott criticises Ben Duckett,  "Viv was special, Ben isn't"

Sir Geoffrey Boycott, a former cricketer for England, recently come forth to criticise England batsman Ben Duckett for his subpar performances during the summer Test season. Duckett has appeared in 26 Test matches thus far in his career. He has amassed 1828 runs at an average of 39.73, along with three centuries.

Sir Geoffrey Boycott, 83, is not impressed by the numbers; Duckett’s playstyle is compared to that of former New Zealand cricketer Brendon McCullum, and he even claims to try to play like a left-handed Vivian Richards.

“The McCullum style is perfectly embodied by Ben Duckett. He hits a ball with a rat-a-tat-tat sound when he scores runs. Slogs, pulls, and sweeps are mixed in with some amazing shots. On other occasions, he uses ridiculous moves to get away with things you can’t even believe he tried. He tries to play with the same dismissal technique as left-handed Viv Richards, hitting bowlers all over the pitch. Ben isn’t remarkable; Viv was,” Boycott was cited as saying.

It is noteworthy that Ben Duckett did not achieve any hundreds during the series against Sri Lanka; nevertheless, he did reach the century in the first innings of the third Test match against Sri Lanka, scoring 86 runs in 79 deliveries.

The most recent country to wait for him to go is Sri Lanka: Geoffrey Boycott and Harry Brook

Moreover, Sir Geoffrey Boycott mentioned Harry Brook as well. After a lacklustre performance in the Test summer, the former cricket player said that Harry Brook should try to improvise his style. Notably, Brook has struggled lately to turn his knocks into large scores; while he did show promise at the beginning of the summer, he has not performed well lately.

“Harry Brook’s ascent has been swift. When he’s improvising, he has a bit of Kevin Pietersen’s power and seamless timing. Like Kevin, he exudes charm. However, clubs will have been looking for methods to get rid of Harry while he has been robbing them of runs, Boycott said.
