India’s reverse swing bowling disappoints Wasim Akram – Cricket News Update
Legendary Pakistan pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292 believes the English fast bowlers have made better use of the reverse swing as compared to their Indian counterparts in the ongoing four-match Test series being played at the latter’s backyard.
"I think England have realised that you have to sprint in to bowl reverse swing. Compare them both to Ishant and Zaheer. England's bowlers were sprinting. You have to put that effort in to bowl reverse swing," Akram, one of the finest exponents of reverse
swing, told Daily Telegraph on Friday.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 contingent lost its head after winning the first Test in Ahmedabad by nine wickets, losing the next two fixtures to England by ten and seven wickets respectively, and are on the verge of a historic
series defeat at the hands of the Poms.
Whilst the Indian spinners have impressed the game followers in almost every game of the series so far, their seamers failed to make an impact with the ball and have been a liability in the field as well. Spearhead pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379
was given the boot ahead of the Nagpur Test, following his dismal performances in the first three games.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vidarbha-c860 Cricket Association Stadium in Jamtha, Nagpur
since December 13. He bowled with some success in the ongoing encounter returning with figures of 3 for 49 from 28 overs, as the hosts bundled England out for 330 in their first innings.
Akram reckoned the home pacers were not running in hard enough to get the delivery going, and insisted that a pacer should know his ball well in order to bowl reverse swing.
The 46-year-old said that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 and Co was bowling more like Pakistan pacers.
"The way they bowled tells me http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 team were playing out there; it really did," said Akram.
“James Anderson has got the knack of reverse swing and will only get better. I reckon he is on a par with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DW-Steyn-c1409,” added the King of Swing.
