England Players Can’t Hide Behind The Bazball: Nasser Hussain
Only Zak Crawley: After another batting collapse against India in the opening day of the fifth and final Test of the series, former England captain Nasser Hussain slammed the visiting side's batters, saying that the players can’t hide behind ‘bazball’ and need to focus on their own game.
Left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav scythed through England with a sensational five-wicket haul while off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took four wickets as the visitors’ were bowled out for 218 by India on day one of the fifth and final Test at the HPCA Stadium.
Electing to bat first, England were in a strong position at 100/1, before Kuldeep's 5-72 and Ashwin’s 4-51 led to them being bowled out in 57.4 overs. Only Zak Crawley waged a lone battle with a good-looking 79 as England flattered to deceive, falling like a pack of cards and were outwitted by Kuldeep’s mastery.
