Pakistan’s fast bowlers were aided by the splendid performances of Yasir Shah. The diminutive leg spinner finished with 19 wickets in the four test match series.

This included two 5 wicket hauls. Yasir 6 for 72 in the Lords test match helped in reducing the hosts to 272. At the Kennington Oval, Yasir picked up 5 for 71 bowling out England for 253. Pakistan won both matches.

Compared to that India’s spin attack in England, 2014 was almost non-existent. Ashwin was only played in the last 2 test matches. England only batted 1 innings in each. Ashwin went wicketless first time and picked up 3 for 72 in the other.

Thus, when India’s fast bowlers tired, they did not have a spin cushion to fall back to.
