“Bowlers like Ajaz Patel and Glenn Phillips are found in every local club”: Mohammad Kaif

Former batter Mohammad Kaif made a big statement on Team India’s shocking performance against Ajaz Patel and Glenn Phillips in the third and final Test against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Ajaz took 11 wickets as New Zealand won the contest by 28 runs to complete a 3-0 series whitewash against the host nation.

Phillips picked up three key wickets in the second innings in Mumbai. Kaif mentioned that bowlers like Ajaz Patel and Glenn Phillips are found in every local club and they are not quality spinners.

“Ajaz Patel didn’t bowl well. He delivered two full-toss, two short balls and two length delivers but still managed to take wickets.

“Glenn Phillips is a part-timer and he doesn’t know how to bowl good deliveries. We lost to part-timers and not to quality spinners. Let people say that Ajaz Patel has taken 22 wickets at the Wankhede Stadium. He can’t even land the ball properly. Ajaz Patel bowled just two good deliveries in an over and got wickets. The defeat in the final Test is embarrassing. There was no bowler in New Zealand side in the Mumbai Test,” Mohammad Kaif told Nikhil Naaz.

Kaif lauded Mitchell Santner for his match-winning performance in the second match in Pune. He took 13 wickets as the Tom Latham-led side won the game by 113 runs.
