5 quotes by Mohammed Shami: the mercurial pacer

#3 On the pink ball

Shami enjoyed his first experience with the pink ball

Shami was part of the first pink-ball match to be played in India. In the match between club teams Mohun Bagan and Bhowanipore, Shami bagged a fiver in the first innings. He backed it up with a couple of wickets in the second innings, taking Mohun Bagan to a victory.

Shami enjoyed his first experience with the pink ball and said that the pink ball had more swing to offer than the season ball. It wobbled a lot under the lights and also reversed a tad bit.
