The captain of Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 Chairman's XI, Ryan Broad, has said that they would play an aggressive and positive brand of cricket when they take the field against formidable India in the first warm-up game in Canberra on Wednesday.
"I'm not sure how the Indians are going to want to play it but we're definitely going to play a good aggressive and positive brand of cricket," said Broad while talking to the media reporters ahead of the two-day warm-up match against Dhoni’s brigade.
Broad said that they would be eager to unsettle http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 and his men in the first warm up game. He further added that they can do the national side a favour ahead of the high profile Boxing Day Test by engaging the tourists in a long fielding session.
"If we win the toss we'll probably look to have a bat and bat as long as possible and really set the tone of the match,” said the 29-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tasmania-c854 opener who has not yet debuted in the international cricket.
“If we can get out there and put on a good display with the bat and make sure they're toiling out there in the hot sun, I think that can only benefit the Test team in a few weeks...Any way we can help out and make the Australian Test team's job a little
bit easier, we'll be trying to press that advantage home," he added further.
The 29-year-old opening batsman from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Queensland-c834 was a last minute inclusion in the Cricket Australia Chairman’s XI for the first warm up game after his Tasmania teammate Ed Cowan was allowed to play for the state team in the Big Bash T20 League.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Graham-Downton-c44379 Cowan, the 29-year-old opening batsman, has been included in the side as injured Shaun Marsh’s replacement and is likely to make a Test debut this summer as Australia is battling a spate of injuries. Cowan has been drafted into the CA Chairman's XI squad
for the second warm-up game against India commencing in Canberra on Monday.
Broad said that the young Australian players in the CA Chairman’s XI are looking forward to impress the selectors by performing against a formidable Indian side in the two warm up games.
"This is almost a free hit. You're playing against some fantastic players from India, some of the best in the world and you can just go out and have fun," he said.
