Ben Duckett is among the greatest sweepers I have ever seen - the opener put paid to claims he could not play spin with a fabulous ton in Multan, writes NASSER HUSSAIN

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 16, 2024
NASSER HUSSAIN: I have seen some great sweepers of the ball in my time. I think back to left-handers such as Brian Lara, Graham Thorpe, Marcus Trescothick and Andy Flower. But Ben Duckett is right up there with the very best. For him, the sweep shot is like a forward defence. It is just so natural to him. He is short in height, which means he picks up length well, and he nails virtually every one of them. I can't think of one on day two that he top edged - and as a left hander you have to constantly cope with the rough outside your off stump. He has such a repertoire. If you think of someone like Matthew Hayden, another left-hander who was a great sweeper, he mainly had the hard slog sweep. But Duckett has the hard sweep, the dab sweep, the slog sweep, the reverse sweep behind square, the reverse sweep in front of square.

England are through to the Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup after Australia did them a favour in St Lucia last night with a tense five-wicket win over Scotland. Jos Buttler's team had done their bit earlier in the day in Antigua, beating Namibia by 41 runs after rain had reduced the game to a 10-over-a-side thrash. But Scotland would have leapfrogged them into the next phase with a victory over the Australians, who had little to play for other than pride after already qualifying. And when Australia slipped to 60 for three in the ninth over, chasing 182 for victory, the Scots were eyeing up arguably the greatest result in their history.

STUART BROAD: We came so close to winning a 1-0 Ashes lead in Birmingham, but Lord's trails Australia. So what do we need to do differently this week? And the threat has risen even more. People might wonder if it is possible given the way this England team plays, but the outfield is fast, so we'll reach more boundaries and hope the pitch is accurate so we can bat through the line a bit when we bowl and have excuses for slip fielders. The changing room was tense to begin with at the end of that enthralling first Test, and that's how it should be when you've lost.
