England shrug off new Ashwin mystery ball

The Heavy Ball : India deny keeping spin from England

England tour of India

It was anticipated before England's tour of India that they would face a
great deal of spin bowling but, with the warm-up games completed, they
have faced more spin off the pitch than on it.
Having been consigned to non-spinning pitches and deliberately deprived
of the chance to face quality spin bowling in the three matches ahead of
the Test series, England will have opened their newspapers in Ahmedabad
on Monday morning and found that R Ashwin,
one of the Indian spinners they will face in the Tests, has claimed to
possess a new "mystery" delivery. "I have been working on this ball for
some time now," Ashwin told the Times of India. "I might use it in this series."
There is nothing new in such claims. For years Shane Warne used to play
on the insecurities of England batsmen by talking of his new deliveries
ahead of Ashes series. Saeed Ajmal,
ahead of England's series against Pakistan in the UAE, made similar
claims. On each occasion, there was little evidence of such a delivery
though confused batsmen sometimes interpreted natural variation as
something more deliberate.
But this time England have dismissed the claims. Richard Halsall,
the England assistant coach, reacted with both amusement and cynicism
to Ashwin's claims and suggested the side had heard it all before.
"I was very fortunate to spend a few years with Mushtaq Ahmed at
Sussex," Halsall, who was formerly fielding coach at Sussex, said. "And
Mushy would have a 'mystery ball' every week. He'd show it to the
opposition in the nets and, as we would wander off he would say 'that's
just my leg-break'. If Ashwin has got a mystery ball, that's fantastic
for him. It may move cricket on. But I'm sure our batsmen will watch him
carefully and deal with each ball as it comes."
While England may be cynical about the existence of any new delivery,
their ability to play those deliveries in Ashwin's already extensive
repertoire remain unproven. Their troubles against Pakistan have largely
been explained with the explanation that Ajmal is a bowler of rare
skill and variation. While that is true, it ignores the fact that they
were troubled almost as much by Abdur Rehman, and in Sri Lanka by
Rangana Herath; both of whom are largely conventional left-arm spinners.
Halsall admitted England found it "quite odd" and "frustrating" that
they had faced so little spin in the warm-up matches, but suggested they
compensated by practising against good quality spinners in the nets.
"We've managed to get enough high-pressure, quality practice into the
batsmen off the field so that they feel ready for the first Test," he
said. "It's not a concern, but it has been quite odd that we haven't
faced the spin out in the middle, especially when there have been
spinners playing. But we've been fortunate to have some exceptional net
bowlers. Over here, you do get some exceptional players not in the
games."
Halsall was behind the stumps when Stuart Broad and Steven Finn bowled
in practise on Sunday and was impressed by what he saw. But a decision
on their participation will not be made until Tuesday at the earliest
with both needing to prove their match fitness with a prolonged bowl in
practise.
"Steven and Stuart both looked fairly hostile," Halsall said. "They both
bowled very well. It's fantastic to see where Steven is. We didn't
think he'd be at this stage so soon. That's great, and Stuart is coming
along exactly as we thought he would.
"We'll monitor them over the next two days. Then we'll know a little bit
more. But we're happy with where they are at the moment."
It underlines Halsall's growing stature within the England camp that he
has been given a more public role with the squad for the first time.
Originally appointed as fielding coach, he has already stood in for team
director, Andy Flower, on occasional days and must be considered a
contender as his successor sometime in the future. But Halsall may
require a spell as director of cricket at a county before taking control
of the national side.
It may also be relevant that Ashley Giles is presently with the squad.
Warwickshire's director of cricket, who is also an England selector, may
be a more suitable candidate to stand in for an entire series if Flower
is to be rested. With ODI series coming up against India and New
Zealand, it is possible Flower will be urged to take some time off ahead
of a year that will include back-to-back Ashes series.

Pakistan v Australia, 1st T20, Dubai
Pakistan v Australia, 1st T20, Dubai
Pakistan cruise to seven-wicket win
Australia 89 (19.3/20 overs)
Pakistan 90/3 (14.5/20 overs)
| www.arslanmehmoodawan,blogspot.com | |
Australia slumped to their lowest total in a completed T20 innings since 2005 as Pakistan put in an outstanding all-round effort with the ball and in the field. The Australians were bowled out for 89 in the 20th over, their second-lowest T20 total of all time and their lowest since they were skittled for 79 by England in Southampton seven years ago, in what was the second T20 international ever played.
Saeed Ajmal, Mohammad Hafeez and the debutant Raza Hasan each picked up two wickets and the regular breakthroughs, combined with the large boundaries, starved Australia of runs. It was the first Australia failed to hit a six in a T20 match since another game against Pakistan in Dubai, back in May 2009, and they managed only three fours, all of which came from the openers Shane Watson and David Warner.
Pakistan picked up early wickets and applied pressure throughout the innings, holding their catches and rotating the bowlers to deprive the batsmen of the chance to settle. The Australians had entered the game with a long batting line-up but it did little for their chances in the match as only three men reached double figures.
Warner top scored with 22 from 25 balls, an innings that at the time looked scratchy but was solid when compared with the rest of the performances. Warner was the third man to fall when he pushed a catch back to the bowler Hafeez, after the innings had started shakily when Watson was trapped in front by Umar Gul for 8.
Promoted to No.3, Michael Hussey chipped a catch to cover when he failed to pick Sohail Tanvir's slower ball. Warner and George Bailey provided a slight recovery with a 33-run stand before Warner went, and that was followed soon after by Hasan's first international wicket, which came when David Hussey failed to clear the man at long on.
Bailey fell for 14 when he top edged a sweep off Hafeez and was caught at deep backward square leg, and it was up to Cameron White and Matthew Wade to attempt a recovery. But Pakistan's spinners were too good for White and Wade, Ajmal's variations especially deceptive, although it was Hasan who broke the partnership when Wade holed out to deep midwicket for 6 from 13 balls.
Glenn Maxwell, who came in at No.8, was caught at deep square leg off Ajmal for 4 and next ball White failed to read Ajmal and was bowled for 15 off 22 balls. Xavier Doherty survived the hat trick ball but that was about all the Australians had to celebrate, as Tanvir finished off the tail to end up with 3 for 13.

Nerveless Maxwell takes Australia home
Australia 250 for 7 (Hussey 65, Maxwell 56*, Ajmal 3-37) beat Pakistan 244 for 7 (Hafeez 78, Jamshed 48, Starc 4-51) by three wickets
| ||
A little calmer when it mattered most, Australia completed a victory more testing than the scoreboard ultimately showed to defeat Pakistan in Sharjah and claim the overnight ODI series 2-1. It was a result achieved as much by perspiration as inspiration, Michael Hussey and the nerveless tyro Glenn Maxwell forming the critical union to rescue their team from the uncertainty of 159 for 5 when Matthew Wade fell to Abdur Rehman.
Michael Hussey could so easily have been out lbw to Saeed Ajmal before he had scored, amid a mesmerising spell in which the offspinner claimed what appeared a pivotal 3 for 11. But Misbah-ul-Haq made a pair of judgements that were to prove too timid - failing to refer the umpire Billy Bowden's decision, and then taking Ajmal off after five overs when another wicket or two might have sealed Australia's fate.
Pakistan's hesitation could perhaps be attributed to the weight of history, having not defeated Australia in an ODI series since 2002. There was to be little such trepidation about the way Michael Hussey and Maxwell closed in on the target, which had been reined in to manageable proportions by Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc after Pakistan's openers made their team's best start against Australia since 1985.
Mohammad Hafeez's stand of 129 with Nasir Jamshed should have allowed Pakistan to soar well past 250, but Australia's bowlers stuck admirably to their task to limit the rest. It was Johnson who started the salvage operation, claiming two wickets while keeping his economy-rate down, and thus allowing Starc to strike four times to continue his decent form.
As had been flagged as a possibility by the assistant coach Steve Rixon earlier in the series, Wade's exertions during 50 overs in the field were deemed too much for him to back up immediately as an opener.
His replacement at the top of the order was unexpected - David Hussey opening for the first time in his ODI career - but provided a useful left-right contrast with David Warner in a stand that showed plenty of brio if not total safety.
Warner and David Hussey both smote huge sixes, causing the umpires to twice call for a replacement ball, and denting the previously tidy series figures of Hafeez. Rehman hurried a Warner pull shot and claimed his wicket to break the partnership at 44, but Michael Clarke was typically fluent and with David Hussey he kept Australia ahead of the asking-rate.
However Ajmal's introduction brought a marked change to proceedings, as he found spin despite the moist night air and yet again confused the Australians with his variations. Clarke had struck one significant blow in drawing blood from the left hand of Shahid Afridi with a fierce drive, but he advanced too early to Ajmal and was well stumped down the leg side by Kamran Akmal.
Michael Hussey seemed palpably lbw, but Pakistan chose conservatively not to refer Billy Bowden's not-out verdict. David Hussey perished in pursuit of another six, and George Bailey gloved an attempted paddle-sweep. Ajmal's spin had turned the innings, but he was then withdrawn to allow Wade and Michael Hussey some desperately needed breathing room.
They steadied things until Wade's exit, bowled between bat and pad, whereupon Maxwell made another free-spirited contribution to a series in which his batting comfortably outshone his bowling as he ransacked Afridi for 16 runs in the 43rd over. Michael Hussey was out to a tired slog and Dan Christian did not endure, but Maxwell kept his cool and his timing to guide the weary Australians home.
They had been grateful to win the toss and avoid the worst excesses of the evening moisture. Bolstered by happy memories of game one when they had topped and tailed the Pakistan innings, Pattinson and Starc took the new ball with some intent. Starc looked initially short of rhythm and comfort having shrugged off a side/chest complaint to take part, but Australia's opening duo made Jamshed and Hafeez work hard to survive the early overs.
Both batsmen top-edged attempted hook shots and were fortunate to see their respective strokes fall safely. Nonetheless, the shots signalled their ambition, even as a sluggish pitch, slow outfield and tidy Australian fielding made scoring difficult.
Gradually, Hafeez and Jamshed wrested the initiative, seeing off a useful spell by Johnson and profiting more from the others. The allrounder Christian shelled a difficult return catch when Hafeez was on 26, but it was the only hint of a chance offered by the openers as they strode to Pakistan's first century opening stand against Australia in ODIs since 1985.
Jamshed's innings was a worthy follow-up to his match-shaping innings in Abu Dhabi, while Hafeez was finally showing the Australians the worth of his batting after some years of underachievement. The six off Pattinson was a particularly compelling reminder.
Australia were so desperate for a wicket that Clarke sacrificed his one referral to a speculative appeal for a leg-side catch off Jamshed. The stratagem was indirectly helpful in securing the breakthrough, distracting Jamshed enough for Johnson to have him touching a bouncer behind in the same over.
Afridi was promoted in the order to make a flash-in-the-pan seven, and Hafeez's innings was ended when Clarke struck him in front while attempting to sweep. Asad Shafiq, Misbah-ul-Haq and Azhar Ali did not go beyond their starts, keeping the target within Australia's reach.
