"He was fantastic. He was bowling off one leg," Mathews said. "He couldn't run and he couldn't jump. He was just landing the ball on one leg and he is unbelievable. The batsmen are having a nightmare facing him no matter how well they play spin. Credit should go to this man. He has been a great team man as well."
