The former Manchester City midfielder showed-off his fluent batting skills by hitting some of the deliveries off Ali. Milner, then, was seen bowling some seam-up deliveries too as the Englishman tried to disturb the timber behind Ali.
Here's how James Milner fared against Moeen Ali in a battle of cricket:
On the football field, Liverpool are looking to stay in realistic contention for a domestic trophy when they travel to Wolverhampton in an all-Premier League matchup in their FA Cup replay.. An entertaining game ended 2-2 at Anfield and was tinged with controversy with Wolves having a late goal disallowed because of an offside not picked up by VAR cameras. Liverpool’s only game since then was a 3-0 loss at Brighton in the league on Saturday, a low point in the team’s season. Liverpool is in ninth place in the league, 19 points off first place, and already out of the League Cup.
Ahead of the FA Cup tie against Wolves on Tuesday, manager Jurgen Klopp said: “I am loyal, I think everyone should be loyal, but I am not too loyal.” He then explained his situation: “The problem is too complex. You have a good player who did a lot of good stuff in the past and then maybe, in your mind, you think: ‘That’s it for him now.’ If you can then go out and bring in another player to replace him then it makes sense from both sides to say: ‘Come on, it was a great time, see you later.’ If you cannot bring anybody in then you cannot take anyone out, that’s the situation.”
