On Wednesday, Hilfenhaus oppened his account by grabbing the wicket of India’s ace batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 and then took four wickets in all for 23 runs, after having grabbed one wicket a day earlier.
The bowler revealed that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tasmania-c854 bowling coach, Ali de Winter, helped him in eradicating some technical flaws in his bowling which has now made him a better bowler.

“It's a well balanced squad with the vast majority of players having done well against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tanvir-Ahmed-c92718 who has performed well whenever he was given an opportunity is now completely out of the picture,” Latif said.
He backed the decision of dropping all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shoaib-Malik-c90088, who was discarded due to bad form.
Latif, however, urged the PCB to include Malik in the shorter version of the game as the all-rounder has potential to perform in these forms of cricket.
He insisted to place http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595 at number-three in Test cricket as the youngster is more suited for this position in the longest format of the game.
Australia's Test vice-captain and wicketkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170, on Wednesday, insisted that he is still fit and has a lot of cricket left in him.
He insisted that he is still trying to improve his game as everyone in the Australian squad has to struggle to retain a place in the national team.
