If I Was Scared Of The Short Ball, I Wouldn’t Have Scored That Half-century At Lord’s – Mohammed Shami

Senior Indian pacer Mohammed Shami has said that he wouldn’t have scored a half-century at the Lord’s Cricket Ground if he was scared of the short-pitched deliveries.

Shami smashed two consecutive boundaries at the Lord’s, London during the Test match against England to score his second Test fifty and his unbeaten 56 runs knock helped India post 298 runs on the board and eventually win by 151 runs.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Shami said that he was never scared of bouncers and he has always enjoyed his batting.

“Let me tell you something. I was never scared of the short ball as many people thought it to be. I have always enjoyed my batting and I do try to contribute as much as possible with the bat and help the team. If I was scared of the short ball, I wouldn’t have scored that half-century at Lord’s. So I don’t think much about it,” Shami told India.com.
