http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Timothy-John-Nielsen-c94043 urges Australia to inflict 4-0 whitewash on India – Cricket News Update
The former Australian team coach Tim Nielsen has urged http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 and his men to take their good form into the fourth and final Test of the four-match series against India to ensure a 4-0 whitewash.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Nielsen opined that the Kangaroos have the potential to inflict a 4-0 clean sweep on the former number one Test side. However, he did warn http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 and his men of being complacent against a bruised and battered Indian side,
given the reputation of the tourists of bouncing back at any stage.
"I hope they continue their momentum and win inside three days in Adelaide. There is definitely potential for a 4-0 sweep. Australia has got them under real mental pressure and a game hold over them,” said Nielsen, who coached http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 successfully during
his three year stint with the CA.
"You give up a little bit and all of a sudden they can come back. I expect the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 players need to make some decisions how hard they are willing to fight in Adelaide," he added further.
The relatively new look Australian line up has outclassed the formidable India side quite comprehensively in the ongoing Test series which the hosts lead 3-0, with the fourth Test starting at the Adelaide Oval on Tuesday, January 24th, 2012.
The mighty Aussies defeated the Dhoni-led Indian side by 122 runs in the series opener before crushing the tourists by an innings in the next two tests. The pace of the Australian fast bowlers especially http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197 has played a leading role in Australia’s
dominance against India.
Nielsen praised the pace duo of Siddle and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204 for their valuable contributions in the ongoing series.
"The biggest improvement has come from Siddle and Hilfy who have had the courage and willingness to pitch the ball up," observed Nielsen.
Neilsen became the coach of Australia in 2007, taking over from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Marshall-Buchanan-c68302. Under his mentorship, the Australian team won nine of the fifteen Test match series, while his record in the One Day International format is equally impressive. Out of the twenty-five
series that Australia played, they won nineteen of them. He was forced to resign as coach of the team last year in January, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 regained the Ashes Down Under, by winning the series 3-1.
