However, if I were a Pakistan groundsman (or selector), I'd be looking at how the English batsmen played Warne - and perhaps more importantly how our seam bowlers destroyed the Australian top order - and I'd be thinking hard about baking grassless dustbowls without question. Obviously that would point England towards a second spinner. The only thing that might sway the management is that they've had great success with the four seamers formula, but I think Fletcher and Vaughan are both intelligent and pragmatic enough to adapt. If Udal's learnt as much from Warne as I think he has, he may be a real asset on this tour.Infoholic UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157971984112316858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12823447.post-1130957300236378292005-11-02T18:48:00.000+00:002005-11-02T18:48:00.000+00:00My guess is Udal has a place in the team unless he...My guess is Udal has a place in the team unless he fails miserably. Pakistan have so many spinners in their squad its inconceivable that they won't be playing on turning tracks, and you need a specialist second spinner in those cases.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504799243070576500noreply@blogger.com
