London: Former West Indian fast bowler Michael Holding has said spinner Saeed Ajmal will take an advantage over his English counterpart Graeme Swann during the Pakistan-England Test series due to the weapon of ‘doosra’.
Holding said this in a statement. He said Ajmal would have a huge advantage over Swann due to possessing `doosra’ as a lethal weapon to sharpen his spin attack
But he said the condition in the UAE would also help slow bowlers like Swann.
Holding added that England’s bowling attack was better than that of Pakistan, which would ease the pressure on Swann.
“Swann has greater support bowlers, so Swann will have a better tangent to bowl within, in that he will have a better bowler at the other end to put pressure on the batsmen”, Holding said.
It is to be mentioned here that Ajmal became top bowler in the ICC one Day International Rankings after the series against Sri Lanka.
