It’s Getting Increasingly Tough for Bowlers – Ajmal

Saturday, April 19th, 2014 8:49:06 by

It was recently reported from Karachi that Pakistan’s spin bowler, Saeed Ajmal, came out in the open to talk about how things have become difficult for bowlers in recent years. He spoke about how it is difficult for the bowlers during the T20 cricket format as they are always attacked in this format time and time again.

 

While speaking to the media, Saeed Ajmad said,

Times have changed and there is hardly any respect for bowlers these days. The attitude and approach of batsmen has become more brazen and it has become very difficult for bowlers. Cricket is very fast nowadays and as a bowler you are always under pressure. Batsmen can attack in T20 or 50-over cricket from the start and as a bowler you need to keep coming up with something new in every match. T20 cricket is made for batsmen while in ODIs the five fielders inside the circle rule has brought pressure on the bowlers.”

Saeed Ajmal has taken 169 wickets during 33 tests; 182 wickets in 110 ODIs; and 85 wickets in 63 T20s, explained that now it is quite common for teams to get more than 100 runs in the last 10 overs. He said that the shorter formats of the game are to be blamed for this.
