http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, reckons Saeed Ajmal – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859, has termed team India as the favourites in the upcoming One-Day series between the Men in Blue and England. The five match series will begin from Friday, October 14, with the opening game at
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792.
Ajmal believes that Indians will be pumped up for a win in the series, after they exhibited a meek performance on their tour of England, in which the reigning World Champions failed to register even a single win.
As per the off-spinner, English team will find themselves in hot water as the conditions would be completely opposite to those found in England. For that very reason, Ajmal reckons that Team India will avenge the humiliation that
they faced in England.
Predicting an Indian win, Ajmal said, “England has improved a lot and is a top side but I believe the seaming conditions in England helped them a lot. But when England goes to India they are going to face a different Indian side
and I think they will lose the series. The pitches will be slow and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-John-Trevor-Miller-c44458 and will assist the spinners and India will plan accordingly and try to avenge their humiliation in England.”
Indians have good quality spinners at their disposal but England, who traditionally never relied on spinners, also has a wild card in their outfits. The wild card is none other than http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501.
Ajmal speaks highly of Swann, who is the number one bowler in International Cricket Council's (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) ODI rankings. The Pakistani off-spinner said that Swann has developed himself into an excellent bowler and has different variations
in his bowling.
Ajmal, who has played 47 ODI’s for Pakistan, states that Swann is a perfect example of how spinners can be match winners for their side.
“Swann is a good example of how a top spinner can perform well by using variations in all three formats of the sport. I have watched him bowl closely and he bowls the off-break in three different actions and leaves the batsmen
guessing,” praised Ajmal.
The Pakistani off-spinner wants to imitate Swann and vows to keep up the hard work until he displaces the Englishman from his throne.
