Australian attack earn praise from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 – Cricket News Update
Aussie skipper, Michael http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in the second one day game at Port Elizabeth.
The Kangaroos bowling contingent has so far been the main difference between the two sides, extracting swing and bounce, which has seen them take a firm grip in the three match 50 over series.
With experience provided by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945, the youngsters have also shown promise, with Patrick Cummins’ performances coming in for some deserved appreciation from all corners.
The 18-year-old meteoric rise has seen him getting a place in all three formats of the game and will be looking to guide his team to a series victory. Clarke, who played a crucial knock in the first one-dayer, which paved way for an easy victory, singled
out his bowling line-up for special praise.
"We've got a couple left-handers and if the ball is swinging, they play a big part in bowling to left-handers, swinging the ball away. And, it's no different with [http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075] Cummins or [James] Pattinson to right-handers, they take the ball away from the right-hander
so it's a good place to be with our fast bowlers at the moment."
The two teams will lock horns in the second 50-over international today and a win will give the Kangaroo team a unassailable 2-0 lead. Going by the form of the side, and especially their bowlers, one will have to back the tourists in getting the job done.
With all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 close to full fitness, the Proteas will need to produce something special after a faulty batting display in the two T20s and the opening limited over match.
Finally, the Aussie skipper also commented on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170, who turns 34 today, which gives the team an added reason to come up all guns blazing. Clarke said that he will like to present the wicket-keeper with a series win on his birthday, which will give
an added dimension to the celebrations.
"I'd love nothing more than to win the series for him to celebrate his birthday," the Kangaroo captain added.
