Nasser Hussain demonstrates why you should always wear a helmet as he is taken down by an Andrew Strauss ace in the Ashes Zone.
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!
