Spinning is an art as well. If these same spinners can control Aus in the final if we meet them there than at least 25 overs will be bowled by them.
As for Ponting not knowing how to play Akhter, well not many players did because most of the time Akhter was pretenidng to be injured, sitting in the pavilion.
spin is an art, pak has had some of the best (qadir taufiq mush saq. etc) but never have we "relied" on spin like today, for the first time since 60s. today I was waiting for the first ten to be over so that spin can kick in and do the trick LOL
Akhter is injured a lot ... but so was Waqar when he missed 92 WC, Muhammad Zahid's severe back injury that put an end to his international career, Lee was also out for a while - Holding, Imran, Garner all had fitness probs.
