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.

رميز راجہ نے بھی اپنی کمينٹری سے پورے پاکستان کو عُمر اکمل کا ٹيلنٹ بتايا پر ہماری پوری قوم، عُمر اکمل کا ٹيلنٹ ديکھنے سے محروم رہی۔​

اینڈرسن اس وقت دنیا کا صف اول کا باولر ہے اور امید ہے کہ جلد سات سو وکٹس پوری کرلے گا
آج بابر اعظم کا غصہ آخری دو بال پر دیکھنے کے قابل تھا روف حارث نے انتہای گھٹیا بال پھینک کر چھکا کھا لیا حالانکہ بابر اسے یارکر کا کہہ کر گیا تھا
مصباح نے تو میچ پھر ہروا دیا تھا کیونکہ شاداب کی بجاے شعیب یا عماد کو بھیجتا جو ہارڈ ہٹر ہیں مگر شاداب کو بھیج کر میچ ہروا ہی دیا تھا کہ وہاب نے میچ بچا لیا​
