#2 Leg-spinners get the better of English batsmen
England have always witnessed their worst times against the leg-spinners. And Pakistan have used this as their most powerful weapon against the English batters. The home team does play a decent amount of leg-spin in their county season but fail to counter a more quality spinner at the International level. Be it Abdul Qadir, Saqlain Mushtaq, Yasir Shah or most recently Shadab Khan, each of them has enjoyed success against the ailing English batters.
Despite roping in Saqlian Mushtaq as their coach, the batsmen tend to pile on the misery after their repetitive failures. This comes in with a great advantage for every touring Asian team as they enjoy best of the services form their spin bowlers.
Even India had their greatest match winner in Anil Kumble but Jumbo didn't enjoy best of his time against England. He didn't have a great experience playing here as his lengths allowed English batters to play with a lot of ease with enough time on the backfoot.
