Cricketer turned commentator Rameez Raja wants Pakistan openers to play with aggression during the ICC World Cup 2011.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Green-c60723 trying to play defensively lost both their openers for just twelve runs on the board.
Rameez, expressing his disappointment at Pakistan openers’ batting display against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754. Kenya came in from a huge defeat against the Kiwis and the
openers should have dominated the start by showing aggression.”
Raja insisted that Pakistan needed to play their natural game if they aim on making a mark in the mega event. The former opener of Pakistan insisted that the teams playing aggressively would have a better chance of doing well in the tournament which is being
played in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747.
The former batsman also advised the Pakistan bowlers to go with their natural instinct and bowl yorkers. He particularly pointed out Pakistan’s ace bowler Umar Gul who he believed did not bowl up to his full potential against Kenya.
“http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Gul-c94604 was bowling short against Kenya but he should have used Yorkers, which is his main strength,” he said.
Rameez had words of advice for his team regarding the upcoming match against the mighty http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. He said that Pakistan would need to field better than their first outing as a single error in fielding could cost Pakistan dearly in a match against the co-hosts
of the mega event.
He made it clear that the Pakistani batsmen would need to devise a plan against spin wizard http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Muttiah-Muralitharan-c78157 before going into the match on Saturday.
The pitches in the ongoing World Cup are batsmen-friendly and the way New Zealand defeated Kenya by 10 wickets in their first game of the tournament, it was being anticipated that Pakistan would take off explosively against a meagre bowling attack of the
Kenyans. However, this was not the case and it was up to the middle-order batsmen to steer Pakistan’s batting.
The openers need to start scoring runs because dependence on the middle-order could hurt Pakistan in the later stages of the tournament as the competition will get much difficult against strong sides.
