IPL has got it spot-on, Ashes setback due to decline in England’s four-day domestic cricket: Cork
The HinduEngland has had a disastrous Ashes campaign Down Under. “We don’t have the quality we had back in the 1990s, when we had top overseas players,” said Cork, who is here as television commentator for the Legends League Cricket. “We used to have Mohammad Azharuddin, Michael Holding, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara and many others.” Rueing the lack of batters such as Michael Atherton, Alec Stewart, Graham Gooch, Robin Smith, Alan Lamb and Mike Gatting in the English line-up, he said, “They could bat all day, I was lucky to play in that generation.” India didn’t have much of a depth in pace bowling at that time. “With spinners like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja and all the pacers, India could bowl any side out.” However, he is not so sure about India playing four pacers in Tests. You have bowlers like Brett Lee and me explaining fast bowling and we have also players like Brian Lara and Graeme Swann.”
