"I begin with the name of Allah, the most merciful".
Although Saeed Ajmal's Teesra was not the highlight of the 1st day in the Dubai Test between Pakistan and England the spin wizard certainly got under the skin of the British batsmen as well as the English media. Numerous occasions came when the English batsmen were totally found out miserably against the orthodox off-spin and the magical doosra of Ajmal. Never before in recent times have one seen a top order in such awe of a bowler. They looked at the pitch and each other as if they had seen a ghost and the embarrassment was evident from their faces. One felt during Ajmal's spell that the anticipation of Teesra made the batsmen so nervous that they could just not concentrate on the bowling at all. Even regular balls were not played on merit and the English looked completely at sea.
The English media looked at their batsmen and wondered what had gotten into them. They were simply shocked at the way the batsmen negotiated Ajmal and that caused them to react in their customary fashion. They started making lame excuses and eventually Bob Willis came up with an amazing allegation and questioned Ajmal's bowling action. He said that the Teesra was illegitimate and that the Pakistani bowlers used tactics like reverse swing and Teesra to get wickets on batsmen friendly pitches.
I simply have just a comment to make to this load of crap from the English media.
Dear Brits,
Remember what made you win the Ashes when Australia had grilled your asses for ages and you had almost lost hope of winning an Ashes ever? It was the reverse swing that the Pakistanis invented and then you continued to exploit it through Anderson and Broad and that is the reason your condition oriented attack has suddenly become so potent. As for the Teesra, well I am a very common off-spinner but even I can tell you that there was no such thing tried in this innings. If there is a Teesra you still haven't seen it so keep your eyes open. As for the allegations, they are baseless because they question the Teesra that actually has not been bowled yet! Finally, I would say,Bob please grow up!
ajmal in his interview today said he bold the teesra
