India’s success hinges on their bowlers’ fitness, claims http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672 – Cricket News Update
Former Australian spinner, Shane Warne, predicts that Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566.
Both http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 and Sharma are fighting ankle injuries to bowl in the high-stakes event as their team does not have enough alternatives in its camp.
Zaheer, who has been out-of-action since July 2011, played his last international game during the India-http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 npower series. In the opening game at Lord’s, the seamer pulled a hamstring and was sent out. Afterwards, he missed two home series against England
and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760. Tough he seems to be fit now, analysts suggest that he will not be able to bowl confidently.
On the other hand, Sharma got his ankle injured during the first tour match last week. It is perceived that it will be hard for the youngster to lake a long run-up and generate his natural pace. Moreover both the bowlers have not taken a single wicket in
warm-up games.
In this situation, it is being predicted that the tourists will have to suffer in the series. Warne advised the Kangaroo batsmen to capitalise on this weakness.
Talking to the media today, Warney said, “Their bowlers will have to stay fit. If Zaheer Khan or Ishant Sharma get injured, then I think their bowling attack could be quite weak. The Australian batsmen could perform pretty well. I think it's going to come
down to how India are going to take 20 wickets with their bowling.”
However, the legend has hailed India’s batting line which is composed of big guns like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229, terming the last one as a ‘quality player’.
He told, “I think their batters, especially Rahul Dravid, will make big runs. He's a quality person, he's a quality act, he's a quality player. Hopefully Sachin [Tendulkar] will get his hundredth hundred here. It would be a great time to do it here at the
MCG in front of 70 or 80,000."
There exists enough aggression and enthusiasm in both the camps to make a thrilling competition, starting from December 26.
