South Africa v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 – 1st Test – Australian bowlers to watch out
Fresh from their ODI triumph against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, which caused them to extensively review the cricketing system.
Many have identified their bowling as a weak link, which has unable to step up after the retirement of legends such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Donald-McGrath-c60183. A long await of finding a genuine spinner has seen them try many rookies, and even though the search is
not truly over, a string of impressive performances under http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 has certainly helped the team to grab the headlines for their accolades on the cricketing field.
After playing most their cricket on the sub-continent pitches, which offer little to pacers, a Test series against the Proteas on tracks suited to seamers will be welcoming news for the Aussie bowling contingent, who will be looking to help the side achieve
success at the expense of their batters.
Bettor categorizes a few key bowlers in the armory of the Kangaroos national team.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945
Dropped from the T20 side, the left-armer still remains an integral part of the side and will look to re-emerge himself as the leader of the bowling attack against an opponent, which has seen the best of him. A devastating tour of the Proteas back in 2009
helped Johnson to extract pace, bounce and swing, propelling his team to a 2-1 series win. Since then his form has been wayward to say the least, which included two mediocre Ashes series.
However, he somewhat return to his best in the ODI series including a precise bowling spell in the final One Dayer, which put the brakes on the scoring rate. Another towering performance in the practice match followed where the left-armer took 9 wickets
in the match. He will now look to spear head the attack and add consistency in his bowling, which would go a long way in establishing him as a true fast bowler of this era.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RJ-Harris-c2330
Dogged by a series of injuries, Harris is a workman like fast bowler who is willing to give his hundred percent whenever he gets the chance to wear the baggy green cap. Despite being 32, he always remains in strong contention in the eyes of the selectors.
Always among the wickets, he again proved his mettle with excellent showings on the sub-continent pitches against the Lankan http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808, grabbing 11 wickets in the first two Test matches, before a hamstring strain cut short his stay with the team.
Now fit, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harris-c61739 will be rearing to perform and will look to provide the team with crucial breakthroughs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nathan-Michael-Lyon-c78822
In Lyon, the Aussies have certainly found a spinner, capable to lead the line. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Timothy-John-Nielsen-c94043, the former coach of the Kangaroos said that he hopes that the 23-year-old gets enough game time with the national time, which enables him to prove his worth to the
team.
He recently made his debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779. Eager to give the ball air, the spinner is still learning the art
to bowl for longer periods, and will again look to provide a supporting hand for the rest of the bowling attack.
