Pakistan coach Arthur: unpredictable is good against India

Associated Press  

MANCHESTER, England — The “U’’ word so often used to describe the Pakistan cricket team is something coach Mickey Arthur can come to terms with if it works in his favor against India. “That unpredictability tag always sort of hangs around the Pakistan team, and that makes us very exciting,” Arthur said at his pre-match news conference Saturday, putting a positive spin to the word he usually prefers to avoid. “I don’t particularly like when the commentators talk about, ‘Oh, it depends which Pakistan team rocks up today,’ because, as coach, we prepare those guys exceptionally well every time. It only takes one moment of brilliance, and it needs one guy to stand up and do that.” Left-arm paceman Mohammad Amir took five wickets against Australia and again will be expected to lead the attack, just as he did when Pakistan upset India to win the Champions Trophy in England two years ago.
