Bit-part role: No bowling, no batting, no catch for Rashid in Lord’s rout

The Hindu  

Adil Rashid on Sunday became just the 14th player and first Englishman in 13 years to complete a Test match without bowling, batting, taking a catch or effecting a run out. Rashid, who made GBP 12,500 for his walk on role, was not called upon to weave his leg-spin magic in England's innings and 159-run win over India in the second Test at Lord's. With the overcast conditions in both of India's innings ideal for swing bowling, Rashid was almost as much of a spectator as any member of the crowd at 'the home of cricket' as the tourist was dismissed for 107 and 130, with James Anderson, England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker, returning match figures of nine for 43. And when England batted, Rashid was still waiting as next man in when skipper Joe Root declared the home side's lone innings on 396 for seven. Read: Joe Root 'pleased' at England's clinical bowling performance With Rashid not a member of England's slip cordon, chances were unlikely to come his way either during his 12th Test.
