‘You don’t need 22 robots’: Nasir Hussain defended the fire-up Mohammad Siraj, the 2005 ash shades in India Cricket news

In a striking assessment of the ongoing India-England Test series, former England captains Nasar Hussain and Michael Etharton compared the five-match competition drama and intensity to mythological 2005 ash. England have 2–1 more tests remaining, both cricket pundits believe that the series is running in some special – stressful, dramatic and unforgettable.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe now!Speaking on Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, Hussain did not say words: “You have found it as the next 2005 ash.” Tight finish in Lord’s – where India decreased by 22 runs despite Rabindra Jadeja’s heroes and Mohammad Sirj’s gritty resistance – from 2005, Edgbaston brought dear memories of Epic. Then, also, the test ended with a cool show of heartbreak for visitors and a cool show of sports skills between battered warriors.

“Well, in fact, there was an equality that hit me when Sirj finally went down to his hunt,” Etitarton said, remembering how the English player, including Zak Croly and Joe Root, came to console Siraj. “There were some similarities,” he said, pointing to that emotional flintoff-Li moment in Edgbaston two decades ago.

Hussein stressed the “bit of swallow” and “equally” matching the nature of the sides “said:” Now there is a little stress in the series and still to play for everyone. ,One such flashpoint came to Lord’s during day 3 when Crowley and Docket tried to slow down things before the stump. India responded aggressively, causing an on-field to furore, which saw that Siraj saw him shouting at Docket’s face the next day after dismissing him.“I think Sirj is a better cricketer when he is fired,” said Hussain. “You would like Siraj on your behalf. I did not think he should have been fined. He had gone close to the line – but did not cross it. It is a game of emotion. You don’t need 22 robots.”

Meanwhile, Etharton believes that this bubbling tension will only enrich the remaining of the series. “This is the beauty of a five -test match series – it allows to develop subplots, personal rivalry and enmity. They won’t forget what was said on the field.”Old traffic and oval matches are still coming, the fight is over – but one thing is certain: the fire is well and is actually burnt.
