Master piece of Umar Gul reverse swing succumbed Newzealand to a defeat which put them in a do or die situation agaist Srilanka to stay in the world cup competition. Daniel Vetori instead of praising Umar Gul and accepting the defeat was busy in saying about reverse swing of Umar Gul. New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori has raised Pakistani eyebrows by saying he was surprised how seamer Umar Gul managed to reverse swing the ball in Twenty20 cricket. He should keep in mind Umar Gul is a kind of bowler who can reverse swing and bowl out Newzealnd with a piece of orange or apple too.
This is not the first time Umar Gul swing the ball, if you see his previous performance then one could find it, he did occasionally. The suspicious about his reverse swing is just a lame excuse from defeat. The revese swing is a part of game and the batsmen are well aware of this delivery. They should prepare themselves to face it. Umar Gul is a natural swing bowler and he is bowling hard to be unique among seamers.
We did approach match officials to seek assurances that the reverse-swing Pakistan achieved was by fair means,” Stephen Hill, New Zealand’s media manager, said yesterday. “They said they had seen nothing to arouse suspicion and we’ve accepted that. There are no plans to take it any further at this stage.” The last of Pakistan’s bowlers to be introduced, Gul uprooted New Zealand’s middle order with an extraordinary spell. The carnage was so sudden and unexpected that it moved Daniel Vettori, New Zealand’s captain, to complain to the umpires while he was batting in the middle.
