McCullum Praises Pakistan’s Spin Mastery, Calls England’s Loss A ‘missed Opportunity'
Following a ruthless innings win on Multan’s flat deck, Pakistan, with a refreshed selection panel, introduced spinning surfaces that saw Sajid Khan and Noman Ali share 39 out of 40 English wickets. Their bowling transformed the series, dismantling England for just 814 runs across four innings, turning the tide sharply in Pakistan’s favour.
"Credit to Pakistan, the way that those two spinners bowled was superb," McCullum told Sky Sports. "I thought they varied the pace beautifully. Noman from one end, taking pace off most of the time with the occasional fast one, and Sajid flipping that around and putting pace on with the occasional slow one. I thought was great partnership bowling. And our guys weren't able to sustain the pressure, unfortunately."
