India asked to plan ahead of the Tour to Australia – Cricket News Update
Following the team’s complete dismal performance at the Test series against the English hosts, former Test champions, India, have been asked to set their lines straight and plan ahead of the upcoming tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
Cricketing expert, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-Michael-Chappell-c63914, also suggested team India to start their preparations for the upcoming tour since it would turn out to be as challenging as the ongoing visit to England.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 is scheduled to kick off its tour to Australia later in December, this year. The visit will come with an opening 4 Tests series spanning between December 26 till January 28, 2012, followed by two Twenty20 games on February 1st and 3rd.
As for the current affair, India is being asked to buckle up for the trip to the outback since their ‘lack of preparation’ for the tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, which according to experts and critics, was quite evident on the previous three Test fixtures against England,
where the hosts went on to mark a superb 3-0 win, snatching the top Test spot out of India’s grasp.
India’s veteran bowler and former skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anil-Kumble-c44737, recently asked the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) to include ‘two to three first class warm up games’ for India, prior to its official kick off to the Test series against Australia.
However, according to reports, some potent players will be made available for the upcoming bout, including team’s spearhead http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 from continuing his participation
in the preceding two games.
As for the series, the BCCI seeks to keep Khan afresh for the Australian tour, while at same time focusing much on the youngster http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566.
The Board is stated to be relying on Sharma since the team’s fast bowler made his star premier in Australia, therefore, giving the player a potent edge on how the outback pitches may serve to the Indian bowlers.
However, India’s Tour to Australia should serve as a wake-up call for the side since the team landed in England, thinking the tour to be a child’s play for the former world Test champions. Hence, India’s ‘over confidence’ has now led the side into earning
some out loud criticism from all across the globe, but primarily from its own homeland.
