Ashes 2021: You Need To Score Big In The First Innings To Stand A Chance, Says Nasser Hussain
Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes that England need to score massive runs in the Ashes in Australia later in the year. He also said that scores of 300 can work in England, but not in Australia. England haven't won an Ashes series on Australian soil since the 3-1 win in 2010/11.
"You also need to score massive runs. In England, if you get 300 in the first innings, you are probably in the game. Get that score in Australia and you're going to lose. It means the batting line-up has to churn out big runs and not leave the scoring to Root," wrote Hussain in his column for Daily Mail on Monday.
