Poor planning led to failure of pacers against India: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sarfraz-Nawaz-Malik-c88831 – Cricket News Update
Sarfraz Nawaz, former Pakistani pacer, claimed that poor planning on part of the team management had led to Pakistan’s 6-wicket defeat by India during the 5th Asia Cup match at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.
“All our bowlers were beaten in the match,” said Safraz, who had held a training camp with pacers Wahab Riaz, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.”
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-Jamshed-c78752 (112),
the bowlers crumbled under the belligerence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737. India’s 23-year-old vice-captain made a mockery of the Men In Green’s target by contributing an astonishing 183 runs to his sides’ total, guiding
them to an easy 6-wicket victory with 13 balls to spare.
The spinners, particularly http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Gul-c94604 was the only one who managed to claim any wickets (2 for 65), with Aizaz Cheema (8-60-0) and particularly
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wahab-Riaz-c95839 (4-50-0) proving to be shockingly expensive. However, Nawaz defended the pacers, saying they had not been utilized properly.
“As far as Riaz is concerned, the team management shattered his confidence with a number of poor decisions,” Nawaz said, pointing out that Riaz had not been used during the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747
and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
“Then all of a sudden he was included for a tense encounter and wasn’t even used properly,” he pointed out in an exclusive interview to The Express Tribune.
He took issue with the decision to open with a spinner, saying it had dented the confidence of the pacers, and also criticised the timing of the left-amer’s spell.
“Riaz was introduced when the Indian batsmen were on fire. How can you expect a bowler to perform without match practice in such circumstances?” questioned http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-Clark-c2591.
