Simon Jordan was left confused by Steve Harmison’s suggestion that football could learn a lot from cricket.The legendary bowler was speaking on White and Jordan in the immediate aftermath of a thrilling end to the Test series between England and India, with the visitors claiming their narrowest win in history.India claimed an enormous victory at The OvalGettyWith the hosts leading 2-1, it came down to the last day to decide the series.England needed less than ten runs with Gus Atkinson and Chris Woakes at the crease.Woakes’ appearance for his team was particularly impressive, given he had dislocated his shoulder and had to bat one-handed.Meanwhile, India needed one wicket after brilliantly reducing England from 301-3 to 357-9.In the end, that wicket came as Mohammed Siraj bowled Atkinson to ensure the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy was shared with two wins a piece.And Harmy thinks football could do with learning something about cricket in making it more exciting.He said: “I think football could learn a lot from the way cricket has transformed because some of the football matches now have the ball in play for 52 minutes. It’s going sideways and backwards.“So football could take a little bit of a leaf out of cricket’s book. The shorter format has helped the game and also helped bowlers because bowlers have had to re-develop their game to have more skill, so I think the game is a lot better because it’s a lot faster.”Harmy thinks cricket can influence football’s futuretalkSPORTHowever, once Harmison finished his section, Jordan disagreed with the 2005 Ashes winner.He said: “I think it was a strange observation. I like Steve a lot. I think he’s a brilliant observer, and he is also a very keen follower of football.“We have seen that the ball stays out of play too long, and they’ve already addressed that.“You have full stadiums. You have more engagement than you have ever had before, and you are seeing more goals.“I think that was a moment of euphoria watching the sport he’s primarily indexed to and using that as a comparison rather than realistically changing the format.“County cricket is still dying on its backside.”England and India produced a magnificent series of Test cricketGettyWho is right?It’s seems Harmy was hinting at certain elements of football being boring and not entertaining for fans.Certainly, the fact in 90 minutes of play, the ball only being live around for 50 is a problem, while there are valid criticisms over the style of play some football sides adopt.Equally, the industry is worth tens of billions, with some of the world’s richest people heavily involved.The Premier League coupled with the Champions League are watched by hundreds of millions, so in terms of popularity, it is better than it ever has been.Yes, cricket has hugely improved in terms of entertainment, with this Test series going to be remembered for a long time.But it would be fair to say football is doing pretty well, though, things can always be improved.In terms of the cricket, Harmy was right to be buzzing because this was a series in which we saw everything.Joe Root had a memorable summerGettyEngland recorded their one of their highest-ever run chases to win the first Test, while Joe Root became the second all-time top Test run scorer.We also had Shubman Gill narrowly missing out on becoming the batter with most runs for India in a series.There was also plenty of needle and tension, ensuring it was a series that had everything, showing that Test cricket is well and truly alive.
