Make bouncy pitches for India: Akram
Wasim Akram feels that Pakistan is better organised than a year ago and can avenge their 2004 home series loss.
New Delhi: Pakistan haven't lost a Test series in India since 1979 but on the evidence of the One-Day series that record appears to be under threat and one of Pakistan's legendary cricketers - Wasim Akram isn't too hopeful of a turnaround.
He is perhaps the world's best known ambassador to spread diabetes awareness and Wasim Akram was in the capital today doing just that but inevitably Akram was asked about Pakistan's timid capitulation in the One-Day series.
"I think in the end India played very good cricket," said Wasim Akram.
India's total dominance in the contest has been a huge cause of concern for cricket followers in Pakistan and as a former captain himself; Akram believes the problems start right at the top.
"India's captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is performing very well and is performing in every match and the team is following him, unlike Pakistan team," said Akram.
And with the form shown by some of India's top order batting Akram doesn't expect the script to be too different when the coloured clothes give way to the whites.
"Pakistan will have to work very hard if they want to win the Test series because it would be really difficult to get the Indian team out twice on the Indian soil in the Test matches," said Akram.
Ominous words for Pakistan from one of their greatest ever cricketers.
