Saeed Ajmal to Gain his confidence Back
It is true that history repeats itself. The same thing can be said of Pakistan cricket. In the middle 90s spin bowlers dominated cricket especially in Pakistan. Off spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saqlain-Mushtaq-c88743 and Mushtaq Ahmad have played their part in victories for the country.
In the late 90s when they had retired from world cricket, a gap had emerged in the department of spin bowling. It was then that right arm off spinner Saeed Ajmal made his way to the national side. Saeed Ajmal was initially suggested by his domestic team mate
Missbah ul Haq. He was first selected for the Asia Cup at the age of 30. He had a blasting domestic season where he took 38 wickets in 12 first-class matches at an average of 29.
After that Saeed Ajmal never looked back and started to give a tough time to world class batsmen. He played a commanding role for the success of Pakistan in T20 Triumph in June 2009. He took 12 wickets at an average of 14 in the tournament and thus carved
his name in the history of cricket. Moreover, he took 38 wickets from just 26 matches at an exceptional economy that makes him the 3rd leading wicket taker after Afridi and Gull in T20. He has been an exceptional campaigner who has made the team
after playing large number of domestic matches.
After the world cup he had become the best off spinner and a key wicket taker. However, like any other player he also lost his form but he is a kind of player who can be a class act on his day. He bowls a very effectively disguised “Doosra” with which he
has deceived many world class batsmen, and which makes him a magician. He has a propensity to run through his overs quickly that puts psychological pressure on the opponent. There is an element of shrewdness, unorthodoxy, astuteness and exceptionality about
his bowling style. He has the ability to bowl with different varieties. He also flights the ball. Furthermore he has formed an impression on batsmen that he is exceptional and not easy to play.
If we look to the recent past, his form which doesn’t match his abilities and achievements. Especially in the last series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 his essence and commitment to the game was lacking and didn’t come near to his former success. He looked out of
touch and confused. Now, it is really important that he regains his form against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 need their premier
spin bowler to perform. If he regains his form and confidence, he will be very effective in the world cup as sub continent’s pitches are flat and are heaven for spinners.
