In the cricket world, statements made outside the field often remain in the headlines. During the exciting 3-match Test series being played between England and Pakistan, former England fast bowler Stuart Broad has taken a dig at the working style and performance of the Pakistani team. After seeing the condition of Pakistan's first innings during the first Test match being played at Headingley, Leeds, Broad took the Pakistan team to task. Pakistan's batting collapsed like a house of cards on the first day. The performance of Pakistani batsmen on the first day of the match was very disappointing. At one time it seemed that the visiting team was playing cautiously, as they had scored 97 runs at the loss of 2 wickets. But after this suddenly the entire batting unit fell apart like a house of cards. The entire Pakistani team collapsed for just 171 runs and their last 8 wickets fell for just 74 runs. Pakistani batsmen could not stand the lethal bowling of Ollie Robinson and Josh Tong. Robinson wreaked havoc by dismissing Azan Awais on the very first ball of the match, after which no one except Shan Masood (5 runs), Imam Ul Haq (42) and Abdullah Shafiq (61) could survive. Robinson and Josh Tong bowled brilliantly and took 5 wickets each. Stuart Broad's sharp statement: Responding to this helplessness of Pakistan, Stuart Broad said during a conversation on 'Love of Cricket' YouTube channel, "They are a weak team and not a very good team. I believe that England should easily win 3-0 in this series." Broad further said that although nothing is guaranteed in cricket, if England cannot win this series, it will be considered their biggest failure.
