India vs England 2016: How the debutants fared

#5 Liam Dawson

Liam Dawson has the potential to be a quality all-rounder

The Wiltshire-born cricketer had a tough time in the one Test he played in the five-match series. Nevertheless, he has been a crucial addition to England’s depth in batting. With England on the rocks, the management gave Dawson a go in the final Test.

For a lower order batsman, he displayed a composed head as he turned the strike over and squirted out boundaries without much of a fuss. With an innings of 66 runs from 148 balls in the first innings, he led his side to a respectable total of 477.

With the ball, he was miserly enough to put a lid on the scoring and also snapped up two wickets. To be precise, he was England’s highest wicket taker and the most economical as a spinner. At 26, he already has played 118 First-Class games and therefore dearth of experience won’t be a worry.
