5 things the Indian Cricket Team can learn from Pakistan
5) Match winning leg spinner
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.
