http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392 under consideration for Adelaide Test – Cricket News Update
Shane Watson and Mitchell Starc are amongst the probable playing XI for the upcoming Adelaide Test scheduled between Australia and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 coming week.
Watson, having 35 Tests under his belt, missed out on the drawn series opener at Brisbane, due to a calf injury that occurred while bowling for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 in a Sheffield Shield match.
The news comes as a good sign for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942.
The two however, weren’t able to provide the Kangaroos with much success at Gabba. Luckily for them, the experienced all-rounder is showing good signs of recovery in the net sessions, indicated by the coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969.
The Australians, hailed by critics for their performance, will want to continue with the momentum into the next faceoff against the No.1 Test team. The playing conditions in Adelaide are likely to be different than what we saw at Brisbane, Gabba.
Instead of a slightly green track assisting the pacers, the track at Adelaide is expected to be a flat one. The show, put up by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204 was slightly below par, which would
make http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-c76390 Starc's chances brighter.
The 22-year-old pacer is performing well in the ongoing Sheffield Shield match in Sydney, and answering a question regarding the inclusion of a left-handed bowler in the side, Arthur replied, "It's a good question and certainly worth some consideration going
in to Adelaide. With the rough that might be created it could be quite good, But Starcy is also on song at the moment, he's swinging it nicely, he's bowling with good pace. It's another option for us and a nice one for us bearing in mind he's a left-armer."
Experts feel, going out with an all pace attack in Adelaide would not be a smart call. Looking at the statistics of the ground, the inclusion of spinners with a mix of fast bowlers should be more fruitful.
