Indians can be fragile says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170 – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 can be a fragile bunch once things aren’t going their way, while hoping that his side continues their winning streak in the upcoming third Test at Perth.
Touted as the tour where the Men In Blue could finally break their jinx Down Under, which has seen them without a series win against Australia in over 50 years, the visitors have fallen well short of expectations.
As it turned out so far, the tourists have plenty of work to do to salvage pride from the remaining contest after registering two successive defeats by convincing margin.
The next assignment sees the sub-continent giants taking on the hosts at one of the bounciest tracks Down Under – the Perth. With former Aussie players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Donald-McGrath-c60183 predicting a 4-0 whitewash, Haddin has also added fuel to fire by asserting that their
opponents can become fragile once the chips are down.
"We know this side can be as fragile as any team in the world if things aren't going their way and they can turn on each other and the media turns on them pretty quick. We knew if we could keep them out there and put the numbers like we did on the board
we knew we'd get the rewards because they break quicker than anyone in the world," said Haddin.
The last time the two sides played on this venue in 2008, Indians won the match by 72 runs after an impressive showing from their bowlers. However, the only pacer to have played in that match and currently in the team is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566, who will be looking
to use his experience to help his side conjure up their first win of the tour.
While Tendulkar also scored a commanding 71 in 2008, Haddin believes that his bowlers have found a way to keep the Little Master quiet, which he believes is by building pressure.
"We find if we can push him a little wider, make him feel for the ball a bit we can build enough pressure to get a chance and it's worked in the last two Tests,” added Haddin.
