No, but both Aamir and Sami are too similar in that both do rely on the ball moving in the air to a certain extent. Having them both in the team probably doesn’t give you the best bowling balance. Gul, though less than stellar he has been, does give you a hit-the-deck bowler that can get some more bounce with his height and perhaps some sideways movement off the deck.
I have mixed feelings about this Test. On one hand, the series is lost and gone, as is most of the country’s cricketing dignity, especially here down under. Even the West Indies showed more steel and fight despite their inferior talent in the bowling department.
On the other hand, a test match in Aus isn’t played everyday and, as heartbreaking as it was, no one can say the last test was boring. In many ways, it was a reminder of how great the game is in its original form and I only hope the wicket is as sporting at Bellerive.
