Ross Taylor all praise for the Pakistan spin-trio – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849, the New Zealand captain, believes that Pakistan have three of the world’s most dangerous spinners in their ranks and admitted that it was extremely difficult to score 10 runs per over against a quality bowling attack.
Pakistan entered the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898, three of the world’s best limited-over operators.
On top of that, the Green Shirts have the services of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sohail-Tanvir-c90665, two quality fast bowlers.
In http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s opening fixture of the mega event, Hafeez and company outclassed the Kiwis by 13 runs at Pallekele. Having posted a competitive total of 177 runs on the board, the Green Shirts came out with intent and defended the score successfully.
The three spinners gave away 75 runs in their 12 overs and picked up five wickets between themselves to halt the Black Caps’ progress.
Taylor feels that the pitch was quite different in nature to the one used in their previous match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BB-McCullum-c1129, which included 11 boundaries and seven huge sixes.
"They're world class spin bowlers," http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Victor-James-Marks-c95127 on like it did the other day. It spun a lot more, was a lot drier."
While praising the Pakistani spinners, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 captain added that they did not offer too many loose balls, which made things extremely tough for the Kiwis.
"They put the ball in the right areas and asked a lot of questions. Any time you're chasing more than 10 runs an over for a period of eight-nine overs, it's going to be a tough ask," mentioned the Black Caps’ skipper.
New Zealand are most likely to face http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 today) in the Super 8 stage, and will have to improve their game against the slow bowlers, with all these teams having quality spinners in their ranks.
