Ajmal much more dangerous bowler than Swann: Tauseef Ahmed

Islamabad, Jan 11 (ANI): Former Pakistani cricketer Tauseef Ahmed has said Saeed Ajmal is a much more dangerous bowler than Graeme Swann.

"Speaking about Ajmal, I think Ajmal has a lot of variety, while if you look at Swann he is more of a line and length bowler. Sure, he doesn't have a lot of spin, but he has a lot of control. If you want to compare the two, I think Saeed Ajmal is a much more dangerous bowler," Pak Passion quoted Ahmed, as saying.

"Swann has a lot of control, but looking at how much Saeed Ajmal has bowled at English batsmen, he will be able to cause trouble for them," he added.

On being asked if he thought Ajmal was more of a threat to right handed batsmen than left handed ones, he said: "That is true, but from the past few series I have seen that Ajmal gets quite a lot of spin."

"A few times I have seen him bowl. I saw his games against West Indies and Bangladesh and I saw a lot of turn. I think that he has variety which will cause problems to all of the batsmen." (ANI)
