Umar Gul realises his responsibility, says Mohammad Hafeez – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 today.
The Green Shirts are going to take on the Proteas at Colombo in their opening Super 8 fixture in the afternoon. Pakistan have always done brilliantly in the game’s shortest format, will Gul being one of their trump cards.
The fast bowler however, has looked off-colour in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 so far, raising concerns for the team management, having an economy rate of 11.71 runs per over in the tournament till date. To make matters worse, other fast bowlers have also been
disappointing.
Over the last three years, the Men in Green have heavily relied on their spinners, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 and Hafeez. But the captain understands that the fast bowlers must get their act together if Pakistan are to have a chance of regaining the title.
"We are blessed with some of the greats in Twenty20s, especially Ajmal and Afridi," Hafeez said. "This is our strength, even though we rely on our fast bowlers who unfortunately could not do well in the group matches. We are hoping they come up with good
performances. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Gul-c94604 is one of them."
Despite being extremely inconsistent over the last couple of years, the fast bowler from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peshawar-c832 has been a genuine match-winner for the country, whenever he gets his rhythm going, having already picked up more than 350 international
scalps.
Akram, who was appointed as the bowling coach last month, had claimed that he will get the best out of Gul. It will be interesting to see how things shape up for the tall fast bowler in the Super 8 stage.
Hafeez further added that Gul understands his responsibility, being the team’s spearhead.
"He realises when he is not doing the basics right. The good thing from what we can see is that he is very focused and working hard in practice. Bowling coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Akram-c76621 is working with him. We know he is our match-winner," the
captain mentioned.
