Pakistan have found an exceptional all-rounder in the 3rd Test of PAK vs AUS. Aamer Jamal has been remarkable with both bat and ball. Firstly, he saved his team from a collapse in the first innings and later he thrashed the Aussies with his bowling.
Jamal scored 82 runs off 97 balls and also picked up six wickets to bundle out Australia at 299 in their first innings.
Jamal said on his performance, “I am over the moon now. Feeling proud to be representing my country at such level and performing for them. This is wonderful achievement for me. It’s been so long, I still remember those days when I came to watch the Pakistan tea’s games and now I represent my country.”
I back myself: Aamer Jamal
Jamal said that even after conceding runs he backs himself to take wickets as in the process of taking wickets you would give away few boundaries.
“I just back myself every time. Even if I concede runs, I back myself. When you try to get wicket, you give boundaries as well. Captain, vice-captain, coaching staff – they’ve been giving me confidence. They wanted me to bowl the way I was bowling. We were seven down for 227, that partnership with Mir Hamza brought us back into the game and we are even a couple of runs ahead of them.”
