The Chennai Super Kings bowling coach, Andy Bichel, on Thursday expressed satisfaction over his side’s bowling performance so far in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League.
Speaking to the media reporters on the eve of their return-leg IPL match against bottom placed Deccan Chargers on Friday, the former Australian pacer said that the bowlers have improved a lot over the past few months and have been performing well in the
tournament as well.
"I see them as really improving during last few months. That is a good thing,” said Bichel at the pre-match press conference on Thursday. “There has been a big improvement there in working up to the levels and the improvement shown by them in skill sets
has been important for us,” he added further.

have also been quite handy with seven and four scalps respectively.
Australian import http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379 has ably complemented Bollinger and has seven wickets in the bag at
an economy rate of less than 8 an over.
The pace battery of the defending champions however lacks local talent. Asked if an Indian speedster could have changed Chennai’s fortunes, the 41-year-old Queenslander said, "It's always nice to have one of the local guys in the team. Youngsters are developing,
young guys are coming through the system."
“Statistics in the back end of the matches that we have played here has been second to none. It is important for us. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JA-Morkel-c1613 has always been improving," the CSK bowling coach added further.
Friday’s match between Chennai and Deccan will be played at former’s home ground, MA Chidambaram Stadium. After remaining unbeaten at home last season, Dhoni and men have had a struggling season so far on a renewed Chepauk wicket.
Replying to a query regarding the Chepauk deck, Bichel said the wicket has behaved a bit inconsistently this season. “Some days it turned and bounced and it has been different on some days,” said the former Australian pacer.
With four wins in ten outings, CSK stand fifth on the points table and need to script a convincing win in today’s match against bottom placed Chargers to strengthen their chances of making tournament playoffs.
