Impressed With High-quality Bowling Of Bashir Despite Bowling Only Seven Overs, Says Hussain
New Delhi: Former England captain Nasser Hussain said he was impressed with high-quality bowling from off-spinner Shoaib Bashir though he bowled only seven overs on day two of the Lord’s Test against Sri Lanka.
Bashir managed to take the scalp of Prabath Jayasuriya by castling him while giving away 21 runs. “Shoaib Bashir only sent down seven overs on Friday, but I was really impressed with the quality of his bowling. Then, when he got Prabath Jayasuriya on strike, he followed three deliveries at 53-54 miles per hour with one held back and flighted beautifully.”
“Jayasuriya came running down and thought he'd got to the pitch of the ball, only to be half a yard short. It spun and went through the gate. It’s early doors and he needs to work on his control of line to the right handers, but there have been good signs that in Australia next year, Bashir will be hard to get down the pitch to,” wrote Hussain in his column for Daily Mail.
