ENG vs PAK: A 3-match test series is being played between England and Pakistan. Pakistan had to make 7 changes in its team after the embarrassing defeat in the first two matches. Opening batsman Sam Ayub was suddenly included in the team, who had not played Test cricket and first-class matches for a long time. The result was that he was out on a duck in both the innings. Even after this, former England captain Nasir Hussain compared Sam with Virender Sehwag. His statement has now come into discussion.
Comparison with Sehwag
Nasir Hussain has compared Sam Ayub with Virender Sehwag, who did not score a single run in both the innings of the third match. Speaking to Sky Sports, Nasir said, “The truth is that Sam Ayub should not be in England. He has come from playing CPL and has not participated in first-class cricket for some time.”
He further said, “I don’t know who for Pakistan thinks that it would be right to bring someone here to play in foreign conditions, to play in a completely different format. Also, it would be right to play in these conditions against the Dukes ball, Ollie Robinson and the bowling attack of England.”
Nasir further said in his conversation that Virender Sehwag was also suddenly included in the Indian team in the year 2011. He was also out on a duck in both the innings of the test match. Nasir told that Sehwag was more experienced than Sam Ayub at that time.
Nasir believes that Test cricket is the toughest format. It is difficult to bat in the top order in England. But if you think that you can score runs by calling any player from the world, it is not possible.
Pakistan’s condition is bad
Talking about the match, Pakistan was limited to 133/10 runs in 33.5 overs in the first innings. Saud Shakeel scored the most runs for the team. He played an innings of 43 runs in 47 balls. In reply, England scored 453 runs in 89 overs in the first innings. For England, 5 batsmen had played half-century innings. Pakistan has scored 416/8 runs in 90.2 overs in the second innings. Pakistan currently has a lead of 96 runs.
