Practiced batting can save India at Perth - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292
The legendary Pakistani pacer, Wasim Akram, has warned http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 and his men that the Perth Test is their last chance to show some pride, and has urged the tourists to bat well if they want to dominate the Aussies.
India presently trails http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 0-2 in the four-match series, and the Perth Test is a must win for the tourists to keep their chances alive.
"Perth will be India's last chance to salvage pride. With so much of experience in their kitty, it would be foolish to write the Indians off," said Akram speaking to the media ahead of the third Test which started at the WACA ground in Perth on Friday.
"Batting well will remain crucial and the Indians know what they will expect on a Perth pitch that will aid pace and bounce,” he added further.
The star studded Indian batting line up miserably collapsed against the young Australian attack including the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197. The tourists lost the first two Tests of the series with huge margins. They lost the first Test at Melbourne
Cricket Ground by 122 runs and faced an innings and 68 runs crushing in the second Test at Sydney.
Following India’s batting surrender at Melbourne and Sydney, there have been growing calls from former cricketers and pundits to exclude veteran Test batsman VVS Laxman from the Perth Squad in favour of young middle order batsman, Rohit Sharma.
However, the former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RG-Sharma-c2309’s belligerence.
“At a time when a few pundits have suggested India must blood younger players and rest veterans like a VVS Laxman, I would still go with experience. While I am aware of his potential, I can't see the inclusion of a Rohit Sharma will make a massive difference
in the performance straight away" he added further.
