By looking at the warm up matches scorecards and after what happened in the first match of the tournament between NEWZEALAND and SRILANKA, it is obvious to say that spin will be the key succes factor in this tournament. scott styris said in an interview to cricinfo, it seems like these pitches are tired, lot of cricket has been played on these surfaces and we know that these pitches will not support faster bowlers, it is nice to know it suits my kind of bowling so i am looking forward to be a valuable part of the team.
In the business world, only those organization succeeds in the long run who adapt themselves with the external environment as the external environment elements are uncontrollable therefore you cannot control or change them ratheer you need to adapt to the environment. now every team is looking to adapt new strategy and it will not be a surprise if we see spinners opening the bowling just as what nathan mcculum did yesterday.
every team is now changing their strategy, one thing is sure the pitches will be slow so rather praying to GOD that a certain pitch plays fast on a given day, why not start working on shots that can give you runs on these slow tracks.
if we analyse the spin armouries of every team, i think pakistan and bangladesh leads the chart. pakistan has 3 specialist spinners, shahid afridi, saeed ajmal and mohammad hafeez, dont forget fawad alam is also a spinner. on the other hand, bangladesh has also 3 specialist spinners. i like srilankan attack, murli, jayasuria and mendis, whereas south africa has only two, botha and van der merve. india has harbajhan singh and chawla,australia struggles in this deparment as they have only one specialist spinner in the squad,newzaealand has 2,WI has 2.
this is modern cricket for you, spinners opening the bowling,taking wickets and slowing the tempo :P
