Ishant Sharma, Zaheer Khan fit for Boxing Day Test, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 – Cricket News Update
VVS Laxman, the Indian batsman who loves to score against Australia, has finally put a full stop to the speculation surrounding the fitness problems of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566, and stated that the duo are "fully fit and raring to go" for the opening
Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
It was not clear whether Zaheer and Ishant will participate in the Boxing Day Test, due to their precarious injury problems. It is important for India to have the two fast bowlers raring to go, as Australia will be a tough challenge, especially Down Under.
Indian batting boast the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, who are all capable of piling on the runs in the four match Test series. However the bowling is a concern, and if the two fast bowlers can play, it will set
up an exciting match that can go either way.
After an exhaustive practice session at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Laxman said, "Ishant was not available for the first warm up, but he bowled in Canberra and the way he bowled today at the nets was proof that they are both fit and raring to go."
According to the classy right-hander, Zaheer has also been bowling well in the nets. The experienced left-arm pacer has just come back into the national squad after going through a long rehabilitation process. The 33-year-old picked up the injury on the
recent tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, where India suffered a humiliating 4-0 loss.
With the inclusion of Ishant and Zaheer in the line-up, India is confident that they can register their first ever Test series victory in Australia.
"Whenever we take a flight to anywhere, we go in with the belief that we can win with the kind of talent and potential that we have and it will not be any different this time around. Winning in Australia is everyone's dream in the world. Not just http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 but
across the world because when you play Australia in Australia, it is the toughest cricket that you can play," added the 37-year-old who has a great record in Australia – 1081 runs including four tons.
