I think this match surpasses the Ashes – Tom Moody on India vs Pakistan

The ticker for India vs Pakistan has already started rolling and as things stand, both the sides are raring to hit the yard in less than two days’ time from now as Pallekele gears up for one of the biggest clashes of all time.

We are all aware of how this game changes the entire equation of world cricket and how the entire cricketing roster flips itself belly up, gluing themselves to the TV, laptop and mobile screens while rooting for their favourite teams.

Well, it isn’t just the unadulterated love of the fans but even cricket experts come together with their opinions about the fixture and that is exactly what hypes up the ambience surrounding the game.

Former Australian cricketer, Tom Moody, was the latest addition to this ever-growing list as he titled this fixture as one of the greatest to have ever happened in the growing cricketing fabric.

Moody said, “I think this match surpasses the Ashes. It’s always got a lovely story to it, and both are outstanding cricketing nations.” 

He then shed some light on both India and Pakistan separately, underlining why this match-up is one of the best in cricket. Moody stated, “When you look at that Pakistan squad, it does boast a lot of talent. But one thing that stands out for me is that it also boasts experience. So now they have the combination of experience and talent, they are a real threat.”

He concluded by stating, “They can match India with their pace bowling; they’ve got genuine pace on their side, and the only issue I see them potentially having is the depth in the quality of their batting which India has got. So that’s going to be the interesting pressure that they put on the likes of Babar Azam at the top of the order.”
