Pakistan should believe in life after Ajmal
- September 11, 2014
By Anish Venkata.
Disturbed, tied-down and severely jolted - something that can be said to be minimally attributed to the state of dismay of Pakistan cricket.
In the immediate aftermath of how the course of events have progressed, a deemed conscious took to surface continually labeling Pakistan having a rather toothless bowling attack and whether the question to compete to perfection ahead of a world cup event had diminished to a compromising level.
The choice of options can be very pleasing for a thought, considering if's and buts’ chances of Ajmal getting back on flight to make his appearance in the world cup. But that shouldn't be understood in isolation. The broader look to the situation should encompass the reality. None would want to bear pressure of a miscarriage that could be strikingly fatal to the team... and when it gets associated with the most premier player, the misery takes a further dent.
To be pragmatic, pointing out to an indispensable fact, Ajmal at 36... He’s ageing. Nothing short of a rocket science to understand a player form hits to the peak and then descends down imparting away from the rub of a golden run. The peak stage in Ajmal's career is over or rather it is fast approaching to an end.
He might toil hard to recycle his career finding the lost touch but if he survives a setback again, will he be able to recreate his magic like before? – A question so perplexed only time could answer.
This is certainly not super –simple as evidenced by complexity. Ajmal’s return to cricket is presumed to be doubtable .In the transition of reworking his bowling action wanting to return back arguably for one last world cup appearance(by all possible means), he’s got the age factor to spate the burden. So contrastingly, this could be a boon to Pakistan.
The process in losing out a premier bowler should not be the occurrence of a change to the worse. Pakistan should start to believe in life after Ajmal. The stellar records Ajmal boasts takes hard toil to be replicated but the resources to use seem abundant to unearth another promising talent.
Into the 2015 world cup, going with a team that does not include Saeed Ajmal is the most dejecting visual to even imagine. Here counts the mental adaptability that would forge a new legacy in Pakistan cricket to take it forward. In terms of everything they could deliver, Pakistan is armed with a lethal battalion of pace and swing. In Junaid Khan, Umar Gul and Mohd Irfan they stand no less to the menacing threat of Steyn-Morkel duo and on pitches that vantage pace bowler with commanding perspective, the onus of responsibility shall rest upon them.
In spin, the void Ajmal leaves, it’s a grueling task asking for a like-for-like replacement. Babar and Rehman, only contingent rankers perhaps could fill as possible reinforcements. That should narrow down bursting out Mohd Hafeez into the context. By curse or misfortune Pakistan loses out Saeed Ajmal, Hafeez off-breaks could be really vital. Often bowled in tandem with Ajmal, Hafeez would be weighed down in portraying a role of a meticulous all rounder.
Ajmal wicket taking capacity factor may loom in a larger size with the world cup fast approaching but there is still cricket staying for Pakistan beyond Saeed Ajmal. Not for a brand new time, a team has been tangled in a position to counter the adverse of a situation. The loss of a prolific rated player in the team has been already known in the history. But the teams moved on with newfangled ideas. A much more similar fate awaits Pakistan.
For now, there is a huge challenge for Ajmal to remodel his bowling action giving it a legal effect as per the icc rules, but in the entirety the huge challenge rests with the Pakistan team to counter the falling perches and start to believe in life after Saeed Ajmal.
