Difficult conditions yesterday, but even against Sri Lanka seems to be lack of learning or intelligence. Surely he cant expect Saqlain Mushtaq to come and spoon feed him.
Hes played quite a bit of cricket by now, and cant say he is any better than what he was when he started.
You dont need to have the wizardry of Muttiah Muralitharan to be a good off spinner. A simple example is Graemme Swann. Started out as a very average all rounder and developed into a world class spinner. It was all about strong basics and intelligence. Gazi lags behind in both categories. Always bowling into the pads, plenty of long hops, predictable bowling.

I agree. Forget about Murali and Swann, even in the recent SL series I think Senanyeke and Dilruwan Perera bowled much better than Gazi.
