COLOMBO, Sri Lanka
Pakistan’s fast bowling coach Shaun Tait expects no spinning wickets during Pakistan versus Srilanka test series, as the hosts would avoid preparing spinning tracks amidst Pakistan’s quality spin attack.
“There are talks around spin, obviously, for obvious reasons,” Tait told ESPNcricinfo. “But I think, you know, you [Pakistan] might be the team that changes that for sure.
I mean maybe Sri Lanka doesn’t want to create big spinning wickets against Pakistan.
It’s sort of what they did against Australia, and Australia bowled really well.
So you’ve got to be a little bit careful with opposition coming with good spinners and creating turning tracks that can also favour the opposition,” Tait added.
“I’m looking at a fast-bowling group, we’re just going to come in positive and maybe we’re going to bowl some more overs.
We’re going to change a few things and change a few people’s minds and bowl really well there and take some wickets as well.
That’s all in my mind at the moment. The boys are pretty confident about where they’re at with the bowling,” he said.
