Hameed Needs To Go Back To Notts And Start Again, It's Not Working: Lloyd
Former England cricketer David Lloyd said on Monday that opener Haseeb Hameed must be aware his defence isn't standing up to the rigours of Test cricket. He added that his opener partner Zak Crawley was impressive in the fourth Ashes Test but has got areas to improve upon.
England hung around to force a draw at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Sunday, denying Australia a clean sweep of the Ashes. After making 25 and 27 in the first Test at Brisbane, Hameed registered scores of 6,0,0,7,6 and 9 in the next three Tests. "I'd compare Haseeb Hameed's situation now to an elite golfer dismantling his swing and starting again. Hameed must know his defence is not standing up to Test cricket and he hasn't got enough scoring areas," wrote Lloyd in his column for Daily Mail.
