http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453’s return to form, saying his team would not be focusing on any particular Indian bowler, when it takes the former T20 champions in a Super Eight fixture, on
Friday.
“We don't want to focus too heavily on one bowler,” said Bailey while speaking to media reporters at the pre-match press conference, ahead of the India-Australia Super Eight fixture, at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on Friday, September 28, 2012.
“It's not that we focus too much on Harbhajan and don't focus on Ashwin. All the Indian bowlers are pretty good and we respect that fact," the Tasmanian top-order batsman added further.
Harbhajan Singh, who spent more than a year on the sidelines before being recalled into the national set up last month, was http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, claiming career best figures of four for 12 in his spell
of four overs, including two maiden overs as well.
Australia, the four time ODI world champions, are yet to prove their prowess in the shortest format of the game. After starting the marquee tournament as ninth ranked T20 side, the Kangaroos finished the group stage unbeaten and moved two points up on the
rankings table, as they are currently ranked seventh on the 12-team rankings table.
India, on the other hand, find themselves third on the chart, just behind http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 and defending champions England. But Bailey is confident his side has the x-factor to defeat the formidable Indian contingent on Friday.
“You need to show a bit of flair and at the same time be a bit conservative,” said the 30-year-old Tasmanian batsman, who was appointed as the Australian T20 skipper in January this year. “Ultimately, the team that has more number of players with x-factor
will end up on the winning side,” added an optimistic Bailey.
Whilst India will be hoping its spinners to do the most of the job for them on Friday, Bailey will be looking to his pace attack, including the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392, to rip apart the formidable Indian batting line up.
"Spin has become more important factor as it’ll get slower and lower as the tournament progresses. We’ve a pretty good line-up of fast bowlers and would like to exploit whatever is available," said Bailey.
