Spell of the Pakistani Spinners

Pakistan cricket team is said to perform beyond expectations. Anything is hard to predict about it. Lately it has been through lots of crises and its performance graph led fingers pointed towards them. The cricket legends were being hit by various scandals but this season their performance and game positively gave a strong reply to the negative critics. England which termed as No. 1 test cricket team,  were being forced to get on their knees as Pakistan's win England with 72-run victory in the second Test that was being played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.



Experts called this match a bonanza fro spinners after seeing the behaviour of the pitch and as the ball moved and Abdur Rehman and Saeed Ajmal amazingly displayed the magic of their fingers and make the english team bit their fingers in amazement. Rehman got six for 25 while Ajmal won three wickets . The magic of Pakistani spinners started stunning the England players and they followed one by one back to the pavilion.


Pakistani cricket fans were hoping that their team will score a respectable total that could be around 300 plus, they will definitely be in a clear position to win the match, but when Pakistan was being bowled out at 214 England seemed to be very much in control of the match. Monty Panesar spells worked at their best as he bagged six wickets as being at his career's best. Now all they had to do is gradually build a total over 145 which doesn't seemed much to the world highest ranked test cricket team. But it didn't went that way, and the spell of Pakistani spinners overcame and let Pakistan to the victory. Misbah ul Haq the Pakistani Captain said that it was all team effort and the joy of the moment exceed the expression of words. He termed this victory as a big win against world's top ranking team.
