Getting Inzamam’s wicket life
long memory
MULTAN—West Indies spinner Dave Mohammed Friday said getting the wicket
of Pakistan captain Inzamam ul Haq has boosted his confidence for doing
better and making a greater impact in 2nd test starting here from
November 19.
“Getting Inzamam was special, his wicket is one of the top wickets in
world cricket and getting him has raised my confidence high, Mohammed
said ahead of the 2nd match against Pakistan after his lost the first at
Lahore by nine wickets.
Mohammed beat Inzamam in flight and bowled him for a duck with a ripping
delivery which spun viciously after pitching.
The left arm chinaman and googly bowler said while he is generally
pleased with his performance in the first test match and he is looking
forward to do better and making a greater impact in the remaining two
matches of the series.
“I think I tried hard in the first test, I believe I am more confident
now than on the last tour,” the 27 year old said.
“I am looking forward to being a perfect all rounder, I feel I can hold
up the tail and keep the last four batsmen together and when runs are
needed I want to be there”, he added.
“I am feeling into the cricket right now, I feel I just want to be the
best bowler in the team, I want to put up my hand and be counted once I
get the chance and the opportunity”, said a confident Mohammed said.
Speaking about playing his first four test matches of his career in
different series, on different continents, Mohammed said while
disappointed he did not get a more regular run he has to put that behind
him and move on.
“I am disappointed but I have to put that behind my back and try to move
forward, what happened in the past is history, you have to move
forward”, reasoned Mohammed who made his debut against South Africa in
2004. He went on to play test matches against England in England, India
in the Caribbean and now Pakistan.—Agencies |
