With wobbled seam, you by no means know the way a lot it is going to do: Siraj

India pacer Mohammed Siraj on Sunday stated the great thing about bowling with a wobbled seam lies in its unpredictability.

So a lot in order that he even doesn’t know the way a lot the ball will do after pitching. Siraj has been reaping the advantages of bowling with a wobbled seam since he found the artwork in 2018.

He picked up 9 wickets within the ODI sequence in opposition to Sri Lanka, offering India the a lot wanted wickets with the brand new ball.

“With wobbled seam, how much the ball will do neither I know nor the batter. Sometimes it goes straight after pitching other times it can come in sharply. Most of my wickets come through wobbled seam. It is effective for me and I trust it to work for me,” stated Siraj after the third ODI.

The skillful pacer stated he used the wobbled seam after his pure inswinger abandoned him.

“Inswing was my natural earlier but then it stopped so I also developed outswing. When I did not have the inswing, I developed the wobbled seam. It took a lot of time to get effective and give me confidence. The more I bowled in the nets, the better I got. In the IPL, I spoke to Dale Steyn as well for outswing which helped me a lot.” Siraj is getting success in all of the codecs and feels it’s all about execution of line and size.

“When the IPL season went bad for me, I started focussing on white ball cricket. I worked on it and grew in confidence. I stopped worrying about how my performance would go which was not case earlier. I started focussing only on execution of line and length.” Talking in regards to the Sri Lanka sequence, he stated his plan was easy.

“The plan was to take early wickets and put pressure on the opposition.” Siraj is now wanting ahead to taking part in at his residence floor on January 18 when India tackle New Zealand within the first ODI.

“It would be nice to play at the home ground with my family, coaches and friends watching me,” he added.
