Wasim Bari confident about Pakistan?s bowling attack ? Cricket News Update
Optimistic about Pakistan?s chances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, Wasim Bari, the former wicketkeeper/batsman, believes that bowling remains the national team?s strength. However, he thinks that adjusting to different conditions in England will be the key for Misbah-ul-Haq and company.
The mega event is going to be played next month in England, with the Green Shirts placed in group B along with South Africa, India and West Indies.
Bari thinks that Pakistan?s pool is tough but all the team?s have certain strengths and weaknesses and Misbah?s men can do well in the all-important tournament by doing appropriate homework against each opposition.
"All the teams in Pakistan's group are tough and balanced, but have their weaknesses too. West Indies don't play well against slow bowling, India are missing several key players and SA don't have spin bowling options," said the former wicketkeeper. "WI have some good all-rounders, SA have a brilliant batting and bowling line-up, while India has one of the best batsmen in the event."
Despite the fact that Umar Gul, Pakistan?s senior most fast bowler, is not available for the Champions Trophy due to a knee surgery, Bari believes that the Green Shirts possess a very potent bowling attack which can even defend mediocre scores.
"The key will be to adjust to the conditions. Pakistan can easily defend a score of over 240 against any opposition. I pray and wish that our players play to their potential and win the Champions Trophy," he added.
With the emergence of Mohammad Irfan and Junaid Khan as genuine strike bowlers, Pakistan?s bowling line-up looks very strong in the shorter formats of the game. The two left-armers have been ably supporting Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Hafeez, two of the world?s finest spinners, in recent past.
However, it is Pakistan?s batting line-up which remains a major concern for the team management. In order to have any chance of lifting the Champions Trophy for the first time, Pakistan?s top-order batsmen have to take the responsibility on their shoulders and deal with the new ball. It is widely expected that Pakistan will play three openers, Mohammad Hafeez, Imran Farhat and Nasir Jamshed in the playing-11.
