Wasim Bari confident about Pakistan’s bowling attack – Cricket News Update
Optimistic about http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Champions Trophy 2013, Wasim Bari, the former wicketkeeper/batsman, believes that bowling remains the national team’s strength. However, he thinks that adjusting to different conditions
in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 and company.
The mega event is going to be played next month in England, with the Green Shirts placed in group B along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and West Indies.
Bari thinks that Pakistan’s pool is tough but all the team’s have certain strengths and weaknesses and Misbah’s men can do well in the all-important tournament by doing appropriate homework against each opposition.
"All the teams in Pakistan's group are tough and balanced, but have their weaknesses too. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 don't play well against slow bowling, India are missing several key players and SA don't have spin bowling options," said the
former wicketkeeper. "WI have some good all-rounders, SA have a brilliant batting and bowling line-up, while India has one of the best batsmen in the event."
Despite the fact that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Gul-c94604, Pakistan’s senior most fast bowler, is not available for the Champions Trophy due to a knee surgery, Bari believes that the Green Shirts possess a very potent bowling attack which can even defend
mediocre scores.
"The key will be to adjust to the conditions. Pakistan can easily defend a score of over 240 against any opposition. I pray and wish that our players play to their potential and win the Champions Trophy," he added.
With the emergence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 and Mohammad
Hafeez, two of the world’s finest spinners, in recent past.
However, it is Pakistan’s batting line-up which remains a major concern for the team management. In order to have any chance of lifting the Champions Trophy for the first time, Pakistan’s top-order batsmen have to take the responsibility
on their shoulders and deal with the new ball. It is widely expected that Pakistan will play three openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-Jamshed-c78752 in the playing-11.
