Dream to play at Perth – Kleinveldt – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, which will be played at the renowned pacy track of Perth from November 30.
After drawn affairs in the opening two encounters, both sides will be eager to claim a win at WACA and stake their respective claims on the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625’s Test mace, currently held by the Proteas. With both teams failing to draw first blood, the action moves to Perth where the track will ideally suit fast bowlers.
Kleinveldt is hoping to be a part of the team’s plan after putting in an improved shift at Adelaide. The pacer claimed four wickets in the match, including three in the second innings where he generated reasonable pace and bowled with greater precision as opposed to his debut, wicketless outing at Brisbane.
His selection nonetheless, will depend on the management’s decision of whether to play a four-pronged pace attack. He got the nod ahead of leg-spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vernon-Philander-c2753 at Adelaide.
With Philander expected to recover from his back strain, it is still likely that Kleinveldt will get a chance, mainly due to the poor outing suffered by Tahir, who conceded a whopping 260 in 37 overs in the last game. If that remains the case, Kleinveldt said it will be a dream come true.
"It's always been a dream of mine because what I've heard from past players is that the pitch is a quick one. It would be nice for me get on there and have a go."
The bowler said that his side is in a confident mood after claiming a thrilling draw at Adelaide. Despite the valiant effort of Peter Siddle, who bowled 33 overs on the final day, the Aussies fell just two wickets short of claiming a 1-0 lead in the series.
"If it was our dressing room we'd be disappointed not to have won the Test," Kleinveldt said. "It will be nice for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197 will enjoy that too much."
