Vettori believes Pakistan can dig deep Updated - 9/9/2010 - nzherald.co.nz.
Even if Pakistan lose several players to lengthy bans over spot fixing allegations, New Zealand captain Dan Vettori believes it won’t take long for others to fill the void. With suspensions, perhaps even life bans, hovering over captain Salman Butt and senior bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer - and possibly others to come under investigation - the likelihood of Pakistan arriving in December for their test and limited-overs tour at full strength are slim. The new ball pair, alleged to have delivered no-balls to bookmakers orders against England at Lord’s last month, are rated arguably the best opening attack in the game; Butt is among Pakistan’s senior batsmen. But such is the talent within Pakistani cricket, Vettori isn’t expecting them to be a soft touch this summer. "Pakistan are fortunate because they have so many talented players," he said yesterday. "Mohammad Aamer wasn’t on anyone’s radar 12 months ago, but they have a habit of producing amazing cricketers. So in terms of personnel I wouldn’t be surprised if Pakistan bounce back really quickly if they do lose a few guys."
