Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

Is a huge mistake in my opinion. He has no match practice and he doesnt bowl particularly well against left handers.

It did work, though Gul, Hafiz and Afridi had already demolished windies before he came on.

Ajmal finished them off and that's what really counts. How many times have we taken early wickets to screw up against a late counterattack?

Razzaq chipped in too, as always he broke the partnership :d

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

If we are playing Austraila - i would keep him ....

Against India I would go with A.Rehman - as he can bat a bit ....

^Even though Rehman bowled exceptionally well against Australia.

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

So saeed took 2 wickets....still think it was a wrong decision??

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

Saeed bowled quite well, but do you think Rehman could not have had 2 wickets?

rizla86 · March 23, 2011, 4:56pm

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

Not against those left handers, no. He's never been much of a wicket taker, he just tries to contain the opposition for 10 overs which is why I don't rate him.

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

In semis, I think both AbdulRehman and Ajmal should play on super-spin wickets while dropping wahab riaz.

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

^May be but i rate Rehman very highly i think he can be an asset, he may not take wickets but he tightens the screws and other bowlers capitalize and take wickets.

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

dude, the way Saeed Ajmal made those players dance around with his varieties was a sight to behold. Rehman is a different kind of asset.

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

wow.......you think Indian attack can penetrate Pakistan to No. 10, while Aussies can't?????? As for bowling you need attacking bowler for India as the pressure is immense on both side.

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

I dont think he can do that well against India.

Re: Inclusion of Saeed Ajmal

Rehman doesent turn the ball much and is more of a bowler who can hold an end and wait for the batsman to make a mistake.

Ajmal is the type of bowler who can get you out with wicket taking deliveries. Its a no brainer in my opinion, Ajmal should continue to play ahead of Rehman.

Also Akhter should replace Riaz.
