Veteran Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne has never shied away from the praising Pakistan’s Yasir Shah for his ability to achieve variations in his spin.
With the Swabi-born leggie making his name on the Lord’s honour board after claiming 10 wickets in Pakistan’s first of four-match Test series against England, The Express Tribune takes a look at the reason for the 30-year-old’s effectiveness on the pitch as well as praise from veteran spinners.
Pace variation key to success, says Yasir Shah
Yasir’s hardwork and persistence handed the Men in Green their first Test victory at Lord’s cricket ground in 20 years when the spinning maestro achieved breakthrough and bowled England’s Jonny Bairstow, ending his 207-minute knock.
Even though that was the moment the match was more or less sealed in favour of the visitors, this wasn’t the delivery which created a buzz on social media.
Yasir Shah’s transformation is remarkable, says his regional coach
The leggie’s ball to Gary Ballance amazed everyone, and enabled people to draw parallels between the man of the match and Australian legend Shane Warne.
In particular, people compared Yasir’s delivery to Shane Warne’s ‘magic ball’ which he bowled to England’s Andrew Strauss at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in 2005.
