Victory Over Pakistan Shows England Are Learning How To Win Away: Hussain
Sky Sports Cricket: Following England thrashing Pakistan by an innings and 47 runs to complete a remarkable first Test win, former captain Nasser Hussain said the visitors’ have showcased a growing aptitude for winning red-ball matches outside home.
"As a side, you do need to learn how to win away from home - and that's what this England side have done here in Pakistan. They couldn't do it (earlier in the year) in India. There is Australia coming up (next year), an Ashes series away from home... and that is what a what a lot a lot of England fans are desperate to win, and what Rob Key, Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have been planning for.
"Conditions in Australia will be nowhere near as bad as this, but they will be closer to this that April at Lord's with the Dukes ball. That's why the likes of Brydon Carse and Gus Atkinson are important. Atkinson still looked a handful on this pitch, showing he's not just one dimensional after his success in England.
