Allister de Winter advises break for Hilfenhaus – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204, has stated that the pacer should be rested for the final Test, provided the Kangaroos seal the series win in their next bout against the Indians at Perth.
The 43-year-old, who is currently coaching the Hobart Hurricanes in the T20 circuit, has helped the pacer to retune his bowling action after falling behind the pecking order, following his lack luster showings against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in the Ashes last year.
Hilfenhaus was axed from the Test team but an intense workout in the off-season with de Winter helped him to improve his bowling, which had become predictable in the Ashes.
Since returning to the side, he has been in scintillating form where he picked his maiden five-wicket haul in the opening five-day game against India at the MCG, while added another five-for in the next game at the SCG – helping his side to claim an unbeatable
2-0 lead in the series.
With the next game being played at Perth, it gives the hosts the chance to go 3-0 up, and consequently seal http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s fate. While Hilfenhaus will be key to their charge, de Winter added that he should be rested in the final match played at Adelaide, provided
the Kangaroos win the Perth bout.
"He needs to play in Perth. Whether he needs to then go to Adelaide on the back of it would be a red flag for me," De Winter said.
With http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harris-c61739 is coming back after injury, Starc has been on an impressive run in the ongoing KFC Big Bash League.
De Winter added that resting Hilfenhaus will provide other players a chance to prove their mettle.
"If they win the series in Perth, they then have the opportunity to rest one or two of the fast bowlers. You might play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392, you might play somebody else."That, to me, makes good management sense so that way you start
getting some experience into your bowlers outside your first picked without any risk of losing a series."
