England bowler, Steven Finn has said that the Gabba pitch is slower than what he had expected.
The first Ashes Test has captured the interest of all the cricket lovers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AS-Peter-c46174 Siddle provided a spell of wonderful fast bowling on the first day. The second day was also interesting, as England managed to take 5 Aussie wickets before Michael Hussey
played an impressive knock of 81 not out to steer his side to safety.
Some impressive bowling was witnessed from the English bowlers as they kept Australians quiet for most of the times. James Anderson, in particular, was the pick of the bowlers as he picked 2 important wickets for England and also gave few runs from his 21
overs.
It was predicted before the first Test that bowling will play an important role during the Ashes series, and whichever side manages to bowl the opposition out twice will definitely lift the Ashes. It was Siddle who made an impact with his bowling on the
first day, and broke the back of English batsmen. Today, England did make an impact with the ball but it was taken away by Mr Cricket, Michael Hussey. Steven Finn was of the view that the famous Gabba pitch, which is famous for its bounce and pace, was slower
than what he had expected.
Before the first Test, Aussie captain gave the warning to the English side that they would struggle on Gabba pitch. His prediction came true when Siddle rattled their batting order on the first day. For England, Steven Finn was bit expensive, but did manage
to take 2 vital wickets for England. He did trouble the batsmen and managed wickets of Ponting and Katich. This year, Steven Finn made his Test debut for England and impressed everyone with his bowling. In 8 Test matches so far, he has managed 32 wickets with
an impressive average of 23.21. He has also two five-wicket hauls.
Steven Finn said that the Gabba wicket is slower than what he had expected and it’s important for a bowler to adjust to his bowling length. Steven Finn was also of the view that the other English bowlers bowled well. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, at one stage were 78-0, but
because of some good bowling they lost 5 quick wickets for just 65 runs.
Steven Finn was of the view that wickets give confidence to a bowler. He also said that there are areas in his bowling that needs improvement and it is something he is looking to improve in future.
