Pakistani allrounder Mohammad Hafeez raised the excitement over off-spinner Saeed Ajmal’s myster delivery he wants to unveil against England in the first Test starting on Tuesday, saying it is “unique.” Ajmal, who took the most Test wickets in 2011 with 50, declared last month he will unveil a myster delivery against England and Hafeez said he has played that delivery in the nets and found it different. “Yes, I have played his delivery in the nets, it’s a bit different and he has worked a lot on this in the last six-eight months.
He has not bowled it internationally, so it will be bit different and exciting,” said Hafeez. Hafeez, himself a off-spinner, refused to give more details. “I can’t tell more about it, he can better tell you. You will judge it when he bowls that, I don’t want to reveal that, he has this new weapon and has command over it and has called it “teesra (third one),” said Hafeez. Former Pakistan off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq invented a unique delivery which he named “doosra” (second one) — a delivery which is bowled with the normal off-spin action but turns the opposite way.
