KARACHI, Nov 23: Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam has credited much of the success of the India one-day side at home to the type of balls they use.
“India uses the SG ball at home and it is different from the Kookaburra ball,” Intikhab said on Sunday. “The SG is heavier and has a more prominent seam that lasts longer and helps the spinners grip the ball and the pacemen to reverse swing on the abrasive pitches in the subcontinent.”
Intikhab guided Pakistan to a 3-0 win over the West Indies in Abu Dhabi earlier this month after replacing former Australian fast bowler Geoff Lawson as the national coach.—Agencies
