Well like Wanderers, Cape town has got some thing to offered to the bowlers.But precisely for spin bowlers. Fast bowlers are though causing few problems with the new ball but as the bowl gets older there magic gets diminished. And at the same time the magic of spin starts and more precisely the "Doctor of Spin" Mr. Saeed Ajmal gets lethal to play. South Africa on the first day of second test took full advantage of the new ball but as the ball gets older they were looking ordinary bowlers in front of set batsman Younus and Asad.
Pakistan Fast bowlers disappoint yesterday with out causing any problems with the new ball and it was look like that Pakistan has got only one fast bowler who fits completely in the test match and he is Junaid Khan who is injured. Gul and Tanveer although being economical failed to pick any of the five wickets. Muhammad Irfan didn't pick a wicket.
Then the Doctor of Spin came in to action. The conditions of Cape town supports spinners and that's enough for the doctor to do operation, whole top order got mesmerized by Spin of Ajmal. People use to say that he has doosra which is the most difficult to play. But yesterday his normal spin was as lethal as his doosra.
Yesterday Saeed Ajmal not only confused the batsman of South Africa but also Umpire-Steve Davis. He gave Amla not out which was later on given out by DRS and the one of Kallis which was not out he gave it a caught out. Thanks to DRS for making the decision more justified. Although unjustice happen to Kallis.
Today, SA will resume there innings 139/5. Is there a chance of Ajmal for picking ten wickets? Well he pick the top 5 of the number one side and that's happen very few time in test cricket in South Africa against South Africa and by a Spinner.
