Australia can capitalize on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s weak bowling attack reckons Shane Warne – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672, the former Australian cricketer, believes batting is India’s stronghold and Aussies can capitalize on their weaker bowling attack.
India last toured Australia in 2007/08 and finished second best in that visit. However, India’s chances of winning their maiden Test series on Kangaroo soil are heightened, as their batting attack is sounder than that of the opposition.
Nonetheless, bowling remains the major cause of concern for the Men in Blue.
Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma are the mainstay of India's bowling brigade. Warne thinksi if either Zaheer or Sharma is injured, Australian batsmen can take advantage.
Referring to the thrashing the Men in Blue received at the hands of England, Warne said, “http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 just beat them four-nil. They have got some wonderful batting and all that sort of stuff but I think their bowling is a bit weak.
And if http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566 goes down with injury then it should be a good time for the Australian batters.”
India has a fully fit batting roster; however, their bowling resources are a bit depleted with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744 ruled out of the series due to injuries. The tourist will miss the services of Kumar, the right-hander
who is a fine exponent of swing bowling and would have troubled the Australian batsmen.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945 will not be playing in the series due to injuries. On the other hand, one-down batsman Shaun Marsh’s inclusion
for the opening Test match at Melbourne is still in doubt.
The silver lining for Aussies is that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Harris-c2330 have recovered from injuries and will feature for the Kangaroos.
Warne, who is still as strong as a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-Jones-c2531 at the age of 42, believes all these injuries are happening because off the extra work-load the cricketers go through.
The 42-year-old said, “The bottom line is that they have to play too much cricket - there is too much expected of an international cricketer. And we are playing two Test series to cram everything in. It is ridiculous. To me that
is not right. Let the players recover, so they can be the best players they can be.”
