Rashid Latif, the former skipper of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
The wicket-keeper batsman tagged James Pattison as Australia’s prime weapon against the Men in Blue and reckons that the young pacer will pose problems for the Indian batting line-up.
Giving an interview to PTI, Rashid said, “From what I have seen of Pattinson so far in the Tests against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, I am convinced he will pose a lot of problems for the Indian batsmen and is likely to surprise them in the coming
series.”
The 43-year-old sees Pattison as someone who has all the ingredients that are required from a genuine fast bowler. Rashid thinks that Aussies’ young sensation has just the right pace and bounce that can cause trouble for the ageing
Indian batting roster on Australian pitches.
Rashid opined, “Pattinson has pace and bounce and he appears to be a thinking bowler. Most of the Indian batsmen have done very well down under in the past but are now getting on with age and their reflexes are not the same as
in the past. I think they will struggle against Pattinson in particular.”
India won’t fall an easy prey to the Australian team, as they themselves have some tricks up their sleeves and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, the player who recently scored a double century in an ODI match, is one of them.
The wicket-keeper termed Virender Sehwag as India’s wild card and someone who can get into the head of opposition bowlers. The Pakistani cricketer holds true that the attacking style of Sehwag can cause Pattison to lose his rhythm,
as the bowler is in a fledging phase of his career and has merely played two Test matches.
Rashid signed-off by saying, “Sehwag is a different type of player and a very belligerent batsman. He will attack all the time and he can upset the rhythm of a young bowler like Pattinson.”
India’s excursion of Kangaroo land starts off with a Test match at Melbourne Cricket Ground. The tourists play four Test matches followed by two Twenty20 internationals and tri-nation ODI series involving Australia and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
