Pakistan v England: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 brushes aside chucking claims – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 cricket team’s premium spinner, Saeed Ajmal, has brushed aside the chucking allegations made against him on the opening day of the first Test match against England, played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The off-spinner exhibited the best bowling figures of his career and notched seven wickets while conceding 55 runs. However, Ajmal’s brilliant performance with the ball was belittled by some media personnel,who questioned his bowling
action.
Answering to those who doubted the legality of his bowling action, Ajmal said, “I'm just concentrating on my bowling. It's the umpires' and match referee's responsibility to see if there is any problem with my action. They did
it to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saqlain-Mushtaq-c88743. They are doing it with me. I have played county cricket, and there has been no problem with my action.”
The 34-year-old’s heroics restricted a strong English batting contingent to a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 in 2009, was seemingly
unplayable on the flat deck of Dubai.
The Punjabi lad revealed that Pakistani bowlers had a plan against England and they executed it with perfection. Ajmal admitted that he did receive some assistance from the track; however, it was the poor shot selection of English
batters that led to their demise, maintains the off-spinner.
“It's the best performance of my life. I bowled wicket to wicket, and there were a few bad shots as well. There was low bounce, and some of them played cross-bat shots. We're not surprised. We've been working on a plan, and we've
bowled them out as per the plan,” said the off-spinner before signing-off.
The much anticipated Test series between England and Pakistan had a shocking first day. The Men in Green, who were considered the under dogs, totally dominated their opponents by restricting them below 200 runs. The Men in Green
are now batting and have scored 42 for no loss.
The Poms will be hoping for a reversal of fortunes on day two by making early breakthroughs. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501, the English off-spinner, will have to emulate Ajmal’s performance, if the Poms are to minimize Pakistan’s first innings
lead.
