Inzamam credits http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushtaq-Ahmed-c78096 for England’s turnaround against spin – Cricket News Update
Impressed by England’s performances in the on-going tour of India so far, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 captain, believes that Mushtaq Ahmed, the Poms’ spin-bowling coach, has played a massive role in enhancing his side’s skills
on turning pitches.
England struggled to deliver the goods on spin-friendly tracks earlier this year, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758
as well, before winning the second fixture to square the series 1-1.
It was widely expected that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 would dominate the four-match Test series at home against England, who are currently going through a rebuilding phase after the retirement of Strauss.

at Kolkata.
The English spinners, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501, have bowled brilliantly in the current series, picking up 19 wickets in the second Test to help their side dismantle the hosts.
Inzamam feels that his former teammate, Mushtaq, has played a huge role in ameliorating the performance of the English spinners as well as the Poms’ ability to bat on turning tracks. The former middle-order batsman believes that the
England and Wales Cricket Board’s (ECB) decision to hire the services of the ex-Pakistan leg-spinner has worked wonders for Cook and company.
“I think Mushie has a big role to play in the way the English spinners have bowled in the Tests and the way the visiting batsmen are tackling the Indian slow bowlers. Mushie has worked for a long time with the English team as their
spin consultant and now this move is paying dividends for the England team,” he said.
He further added that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 have immensely improved their game in spin-friendly conditions over the last 10 months.
The former Pakistan captain added, “They have improved their skills against the spinners and on these pitches they believe they can win the series.”
