Enam's problem is one that plagues many talented but young spinners. They try to take a wicket with every ball instead of formulating a plan for each batsman. The same used to be true for Bhajji (maybe it's still true). This is where Rafique can be a good example for Enam. Rafique does not have the variations or the RPMs of Enam. But what Rafique does have is an innate ability to set batsmen up. Watch the dismissal of Jayawardena in ODI2. He kinda bowled the same line and same lenght while varying the degree of toss and loop. Got the batsmen to the mindframe where he was busy following the flight - and then threw in a slightly quicker one, pitched further up. Jaya went for the sweep, got the top edge and boom. This is the kind of patience that Enam needs to acquire and will no doubt do so with time. In the U-19 level and NCL level he was playing against ppl as impatient as him so the wickets came more readily.
Enamul is a brilliant kid, but everybody has blind spots. Give him a call with your thoughts man.
