Another question I had . I understand that there is nothign for bowler in the pitch but Shoib mystery slower delivery should work. Right.. Is in it slow in air and supposed to beat batsmen with huge change in speed. what went wrong their?? he did pretty well with those delivery against English.

As per highlights, Shoaib did try slower bowl a lot of time, though everytime Sehwag and Dravid picked it up. Other important point is they were waiting for the bowl to come on the bat, rather than going for it. In such a case slower bowl doesn't help much anyway.
