New Zealand fast bowler, Kyle Mills, said on Wednesday that he really likes playing against Pakistan and as they bring a different flavour to the game of cricket. Pakistan cricket has brought a lot of new dimensions to the game in the shape of reverse swing and the ‘doosra’.
Other than that, Pakistani cricketers have held a number of world records in international cricket over the years. While speaking to Pakpassion.net, Mills said that he loves to play against Pakistan as they are very natural in their behaviour and skills. He particularly admired Pakistan’s off-spinner Saeed Ajmal and said that apart from a great spin bowler, Ajmal is a wonderful man to have a chat with. Mills added that Ajmal’s doosra can bamboozle even the best in the business.
Mills said, “I really enjoy playing the Pakistani boys. They are a very nice bunch to play against and definitely one or two of them are real characters. I don’t have stories particularly but Saeed Ajmal is a great character. I am always trying to predict when he would bowl the Doosra to me.” Mills himself is rated amongst the top limited overs bowlers and for quite a long time, he remained the number one ranked ODI bowler of the world. The Kiwi fast bowler further added that Pakistan has always produced excellent cricketers but the only flaw in the Green Shirts is that they are very inconsistent. Pakistan is one of the most unpredictable teams in international cricket. The Green Shirts can beat any international team on a given day and on another day they can be completely off-colour.
