Spinners will be the key in the series between Pakistan and England, feels http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Ilyas-c76945 – Cricket News Update
Mohammad Ilyas, the Chief Selector of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 Cricket Board (PCB), is of the opinion that spinners will play a huge role in the series between Pakistan and England and said that both the teams have two quality spin bowlers each.
The Test series between Pakistan and England is going to start from the January 17, 2012, and the cricket pundits feel that it is going to be a thrilling battle considering the fact that England is the number one ranked Test team of the world and the Green
Shirts have been doing brilliantly in the recent past.
The conditions in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 are also going to be in favour of Pakistan because the ball usually does not swing too much in the flat conditions of the desert.
One of the biggest reasons behind Pakistan’s success since the last year has been the performance of their spinners in all the formats of the game. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 is the number one ranked ODI bowler in the world and he is accompanied well by left-arm spinner,

On the other side of the coin, England has the services of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Monty-Panesar-c2024. Both have done well against Pakistan in the past.
Ilyas also feels that the battle will be decided by the spinners of both the teams.
He said, “I do expect spin to play a key part in the series and the spinners could eventually turn out to be the matchwinners from both sides. Rehman and Ajmal are a very impressive pair of spinners for Pakistan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 have a high quality spinner in
Graeme Swann and also Panesar is an experienced cricketer."
The Chief Selector feels that the cricket fans will witness a high quality of cricket in the series because of the form both teams have shown since last one year.
"I expect the series to be a close one and the standard of cricket should be very high. England are an excellent all round team, but Pakistan are improving and also playing some very good cricket”, said Mohammad Ilyas.
