Indian bowler Shami Ahmed, who performed admirably against Pakistan in Delhi, has given credit to Wasim Akram for his success, according to cricbuzz.com. The 22-year-old from Bengal made a promising debut against Pakistan in the third and final ODI at the Ferozeshah Kotla on Sunday. “The small things that he’s taught me have made me a better bowler,” said Shami of the Pakistani legend. “For example, bowling with the old ball, reversing it and maintaining it, which line to bowl when you’re trying to reverse-swing the ball. He taught me a lot when it comes to using the white ball.”
