Have To Admire Fitness And Stubbornness Of Brook And Root: Nasser Hussain
Multan Cricket Stadium: Former England captain Nasser Hussain lauded Harry Brook and Joe Root for their unflinching fitness and stubbornness levels in a record-breaking day four for the visitors in the first Test against Pakistan at the Multan Cricket Stadium. England claimed a lead of 267 after declaring on a whopping 823/7, thanks to a record 434-run partnership between Root (262) and Brook (317), before reducing Pakistan to 152/6 at stumps to be on the verge of a big victory.
“That's one thing maybe this side has been criticised for with the bat, is that they've not been ruthless. Forget the conditions and forget the pitch, it's one of the flattest pitches that we've ever seen really, but they were definitely ruthless. And in their own special way. How you can score 820 in 150 overs and still be ruthless? This side has managed to do that.”
“Duckett and Crawley bat the way they do, Root did not change the tempo of the way he bats. Of anyone who has got over 250, his boundary percentage was the lowest, which just shows his level of fitness and the nature of his ruthless batting that we've seen for a number of years,” he said.
