Dean Jones tells Australian bowlers how to keep Indian batsmen quiet – Cricket News Update
Indian batting boasts the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, and the Indian team will be relying heavily on the batting prowess of these four players on their tour Down Under.
Keeping this in perspective, former Australian batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dean-Mervyn-Jones-c53391, believes that the Aussie bowlers will have to keep these Indian big guns quiet, if they are to have any chance of winning the four-match Test series, starting with the Melbourne Test on
Monday, December 26, 2011.
In his syndicated column for The Age, Jones opined that the Kangaroos need to play with a left-arm fast bowler to add depth to the bowling attack.
“I think a left-hander who can swing the ball back into the stumps is a wonderful asset and can add variety to this Australian attack for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978. If the Australian bowlers can dry up their boundaries, they will be more successful,” said Jones who
played in 52 Test matches for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
The cricketer-turned-commentator provided a few tips to the Australian quick bowlers, to bowl out the Indians cheaply. While commenting on Sehwag, he said the best way to pick his wicket is to prevent him from scoring boundaries, as it mounts pressure on
the aggressive batsman who loves to go for big hits.
On their ill fated tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, Dravid was the most successful batsman for the Indians, as he collected 461 runs including three centuries. The classy right-hander is widely rated as one of the best players, but Jones knows how to send him back to the
pavilion.
He explained, “He is approaching 39 in January, so bowl fast and straight to him. Again, bowling well to him early in his innings is so important. Historically, Dravid doesn`t get his runs fast, so keeping things quiet puts pressure on his batting partner.”
He had a strategy for Tendulkar as well, who will be gunning to make the historical 100th international century on the Australian tour. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jones-c69217 dissected his batting, and said he is a bit vulnerable against those who get close to the stumps, bowling
wicket to wicket with a straight field will be helpful for the Aussies against the big fellow.
