Pakistan’s Former Leggy, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 as as intelligent bowler - Cricket News Update
Former Pakistani leg-spinner, Mushtaq Ahmed, has appreciated England’s off-spinner, Graeme Swann, because of his exceptional learning skills.
Mushtaq, who is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s spin-bowling coach, termed himself as a lucky person to work with the attacking spinner, Swann.
According the Pakistani leggy, who is known with the nick name of ‘Mushie’, the English bowler is an intelligent and professional bowler, which helps both of them discuss strategies in an organised way.
Swann, who revealed that he thought he could not represent his country at the international level, has been right on the money since he joined the English side.
The Poms have sealed many victories in all format of the game courtesy to the aggressive off-spinner, Swann, and seem very strong and balanced in the spin bowling department.
His presence in the squad takes some pressure off the English fast bowlers, while giving the English attack great bowling depth and variety.
The 32-year-old Swann, who has represented his country in 34 Test matches, taking 142 wickets, is also participating in the ongoing Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in England.
The English are leading 4-match test series by 2-0, whereas, Swann, who has not been impressive with his bowling figures, has been helping the skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964, utilise his bowling options with aggressive intent.
Swann took just 2 wickets in the first 2 matches of the series with the economy rate of 3.76; however, considering his class and previous form, he will be genuine threat for the Men in Blue in the next games.
Coming back to Mushtaq’s appreciation, the 41-year-old former leg-spinner cited Swann's ability to understand the game and its demands.
Mushtaq, who was a member of Pakistan’s World Cup winning squad in 1992, served his country in 52 Test matches and 144 One Day Internationals, picking 185 and 161 wickets respectively.
