Shane Warne disappointed by Sachin Tendulkar’s pitch comments – IPL-4 News
The Rajasthan Royals’ skipper, Shane Warne was hurt by the remarks of his Mumbai counterpart Sachin Tendulkar on the Jaipur pitch, which hosted a match between the two sides on Friday.
Tendulkar, after his team's seven-wicket thrashing at the hands of Warne and his men, slammed the wicket at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium calling it a two-paced wicket on which the ball kept low after pitching. The legendary Australian leg-spinner thought otherwise.
"It is very unfortunate. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 still is not relishing the fact that they were restricted to 94 for 8 and that is why they are searching for excuses,” said Warne while talking to the media reporters after his side’s six wicket win over Sahara Pune Warriors
at the same Jaipur pitch. “They should admit that they were outplayed if they were outplayed," he stressed.
The spin bowling prodigy of international cricket revealed that a pitch inspector, who is in fact member of the BCCI’s pitch committee was there at the venue when the match was being played between the two outfits. He further added that to his amazement
Tendulkar termed the wicket bad when the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 side chased the target losing only three wickets.
After putting Mumbai Indians into bat, the Johan Botha-led Rajasthan attack had restricted Tendulkar and his men to a paltry 94 for 8 in their allotted quota of 20 overs. None of the Mumbai batsmen could manage to cross the 20-run score line as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611
top scored with 17 runs from 26 deliveries.
Sachin had later complained that it was a two-paced wicket and the ball was taking quite a low flight after pitching. However, Warne said that the ball was coming nicely on the bat adding, it was the same track on which Kolkata http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Knight-c71599 Riders had amassed
160 odd runs losing only one wicket.
Warne said that he was disappointed by the complaint made by the batting prodigy of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, who holds almost every batting record of international cricket.
"I think Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) and curator Taposh Chatterjee have been doing a decent job and preparing fine wickets,” said the 41-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Victoria-c859 born. “In fact the wicket was a bit slow but that makes a 20-20 even for both bowlers and batsmen.
I am really very disappointed by the complaint,” he added.
The right-hand leg-break googly expert said that he has also experienced wickets in other matches which were slow and few balls kept quite low, but lodging a complaint is not fair.
It was reported that the chairman of the BCCI Pitch Committee, Mr. Venkat Sundaram reached Jaipur to discuss the issue with Rajasthan Cricket Association officials and the ground curators following remarks of the legendary batsman.
