Former Australian spinner, Stuart MacGill, has warned the Kangaroo bowlers against the threat the veteran Indian batter, Virender Sehwag, will pose during the upcoming Test series and urged them to make strong preparations to cope with the star Indian batsman.
Referring to his own experience with the maverick opener, MacGill reveals that Veru hit him harder than Brian Lara used to do during his international career.
Talking to the media today, the ex-leggy said, “During http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brian-Charles-Lara-c48471 did. He showed our bowlers he didn't need a look at us before he swung. My first ball to him at the MCG went over mid-wicket
for six, and he may have added another triple had http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SM-Katich-c2543 not picked him up for 195.”
He further told, “As Sehwag walked from the field in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 on past tours.”
Though Sehwag had already been a menace, he turned to be a dangerous opponent for the Aussies bowlers after setting a world record of 219 ODI runs a couple of weeks back. Leading the Men in Blue in absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 in the 4th ODI
against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, Sehwag played a magnificent innings and broke the 200-run record of his teammate, Sachin Tendulkar.
As Sehwag has landed on Oz soil with abundant firepower and momentum, almost all the former Australian cricketers and experts are predicting that the home bowlers will have to face a tough challenge in the series, starting from December 26.
Apart from Sehwag, the visitors possess three other rock-star batsmen named as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772. The foursome is likely to outplay the Aussies.
However, Mac, who played 44 Test and 3 ODI matches, opines that the Australian bowlers can contain Veru if they indentify his fault line.
Despite Sehwag-hype awash in the Oz atmosphere, the batsman had not been able to score confidently during the tour matches. This can be a good omen for the bowlers.
