“Both Bairstow and Raina are talented players” says Ian Chappell-Cricket News Update
Former Australian Test cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 through a low
time after he took over.
The influencing Aussie cricketer has been in touch with cricket as he has taken up commentary and shares his views on the game. He believes that the under preparation for the longer version has resulted in the recent short comings faced by the Indian T20
specialist http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SK-Raina-c2539 and England’s new find Jonny Bairstow, both of whom have struggled against the short-pitched delivery.
Chappell holds the view that glitch in playing the short ball is something that can be tackled as technique can be improved.
"Both Bairstow and Raina are talented players with the skill to make big scores in the Test arena. The game needs young players like them to succeed, because they are extremely entertaining cricketers. If they fall short of expectations, it could be the
result of inadequate preparation for a future at Test level.” Chappell stated.
“Cricket can't afford to have talented individuals fall short of the international level purely because their technique failed. Temperament can be a matter of fortune but skill can be honed.” Chappell further added.
The left-handed batsmen from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364. Thrashing bowlers out of the park with his dynamic stroke play, the talented batter has failed in Test cricket under seaming conditions
where bowlers have exploited his weakness against the short ball. In the last Test outing Raina managed a duck in both innings on tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 last year, a series which his side lost by a 4-0 margin.
Registering just 4 and 18 in the last two Test innings while playing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 at home, Bairstow has also been a victim of a similar tale. The short delivery method has taken the better of both batsmen and teams in international cricket have well exploited
their weaknesses.
According to the Aussie expert, the dynamic duo are a exciting batting prospects for the game but will need to prepare adequately in order to overcome their vulnerability. "Hopefully Bairstow and Raina will get their games sorted out and have successful
Test careers.” Chappell said.
