The ongoing Pakistan vs England Test match draws the attention of many cricket fans as players from both teams have scored impressive runs while batting.
Michael Vaughan Praises Babar Azam
The match attracts more negative comments than positive particularly right after former England captain Michael Vaughan lauded Babar Azam as the best batter in the world across formats.
Playing his 44th Test match, Babar Azam scored a much-needed century in Pakistan’s first innings which marked his 8th Test ton.
In the first Test match, winning the toss England opted to bat first and posted a total of 657 runs for 10 wickets where Zak Crawley, Duckett, Ollie Pope, and Harry Brook scored centuries on the first day. In replying Pakistan scored 579 after losing all their players.
Babar Azam remained the team’s top run-getter after scoring 136 runs from 168 balls before being dismissed by Will Jacks. In a manner of praising Babar Azam’s century, Michael Vaughan posted a tweet that draws the attention of many cricket fans with both positive and negative comments.
Class act @babarazam258 .. Nothing more sure of a 100 than one for him on this pitch .. across all formats the best in the world .. #PAKvsEng

Even Ashwin would have scored a triple hundred on this deck. I have nothing against Babar, but this knock means nothing. And best across all formats? Looks like you’ve been kept busy not watching other games when England doesn’t play.

One user said that this is a dead rubber wicket which makes it difficult for the bowlers to take wickets.
This is a dead rubber wicket grave yard for bowlers where it’s difficult to take a wicket.1100+ runs in 3 days total of 7 centuries just 2 short of world record for centuries in a test.r they afraid of loosing at home or they don’t have confidence on their bowlers..
