Watch as Nasser Hussain is taken down by an Andrew Strauss ace

How to play the short ball has always been a crucial test of a batsman and Nasser Hussain took to the Ashes Zone to try and demostrate how it's done. Nasser wasn't facing a quick bowler in the drill, but instead was on the receiving end of some first serves from another former England captain Andrew Strauss. Although he was only facing a tennis ball, Nasser opted to put on a helmet... and it proved a good job! Although Strauss' first delivery sailed way over his head, the second caught him flush on the lid and promptly lodged in his grill - much to the amusement of all concerned!
