Veteran Pakistan batsman Fawad Alam - who made his Test comeback after 11 years - grabbed eyeballs for his unusual batting stance during the final Test against England. As his batting stance grabbed attention, conversations of batsmen with similar stances were brought to the table - and one notably being that of George Bailey. Alam’s stance reminded former England captains and current commentators Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain of former Australia captain Bailey. While comparisons were drawn, Tom Moody - an Australian cricket coach, commentator and former international cricketer - stated that Alam has an unorthodox stance, but he should be judged for his performance. Moody on Twitter wrote, "Yes Fawad Alam has an unorthodox stance but at point of ball release he’s in a solid position, judge him on his performance over time, not how he looks.
