England’s legendary pacer says Babar makes you feel slow as a bowler
England’s legendary pacer James Anderson has heaped praise on Pakistan’s limited-overs captain and prolific batsman Babar Azam.
While speaking during the third and final Twenty20 International (T20I) between England and Pakistan, Anderson said that Azam makes you feel slow as a bowler but he loves watching the latter bat.
"I do love watching Babar Azam. I prefer watching him from up here rather than bowling at him. He makes you feel slow as a bowler - and as a medium-pace bowler like myself, it's not ideal..." Anderson was quoted as saying by BBC Test Match Special.
Azam currently holds the first spot in the International Cricket Council’s (ICC’s) batting ranking for men, in the shortest format of the game. The 25-year-old also occupies the third spot in the ODI rankings and the fifth spot in the Test rankings.
He is currently the only batsman in the world who occupies a top-five spot in the ICC batting rankings of all three formats.
