yes, rasel was mcgrath like in that the first five deliveires in that over were all similar, whereas the last one was completely different, and the batsman got beaten by the change.
i remember one of mcgrath's overs where he pitched the first five very short, and all the batsman could do was either leave or duck. then the last one was pitched up on the off-stump, and....BANG!
the first five balls of the over that rasel got sangakkara out were moving away from the batsman. then the last one came in sharply, and sangakkara was simply baffled.
however, you can't really expect a pat on the back when, at the end of the day, your figures look something like 20-?-120-3.
all that matters in the end is that our guys got thrashed in a test match, that too partly by a pair of bowlers.
