http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 are contesting for the first Test match at Mohali. Australian wicket keeper, Tim Paine appreciated Virender Sehwag for his dexterity in batting. Tim Paine regarded Virender Sehwag as a strong deterrence for the opposing
bowlers.
According to Paine, Virender really gives a very tough time to the bowlers when in form. His adroitness and proficiency in batting could transform the situation of the match at any time, Tim said.
Paine expressed his appreciation for the Indian batsman at the end of second day of the Test match at Mohali. Virender is in form and his performance on Saturday proves the fact. Virender hit 59 runs from 54 balls and accomplished his
half century in just 38 balls. The immaculate performance by Virender Sehwag contributed superbly for India.
However, Sehwag could not continue his journey towards a century as he was caught by Michael http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 on 59.Paine despite being the member of the opposite team, appreciated the batting style and proficiency of Virender Sehwag. He further
said that it is always positive to witness a superior performance and termed Virender to be amongst the world class players.
India had scored a total of 110 runs at the end of day after 21 overs. Australia contributed 428 runs in their first innings. Tim Paine said that Virender gave a very tough time to the bowlers and kept the Australian team in stress.
Tim regarded the Indian batting line as one of the strongest sides. According to him, Indians still had some dexterous batsmen, who may pose difficulties for the Australians.
Tim Paine thinks that Aussie bowlers need to work really hard to get some breakthrough. According to him, the Indian batting line is strong enough to cause problems for the Australian side. It must be incumbent on Australian bowlers
to get some quick wickets in order to strengthen their position in the match.
Tim urged upon Australian bowlers to familiarize themselves with the slow pitch of Mohali. According to him, the Mohali pitch is getting slower day by day and reverse swing would be a great threat to Indian batsmen. Mitchell Johnson
may display some skills of reverse swing to break the Indian batting line tomorrow, Paine said.
Paine was aware of the fact that Indian wicket keeper and skipper had dropped couple of catches behind the stumps. He thinks that ball is not carrying with the pitch and it would be difficult for him too to grab the ball. He was also appreciative of Indian
pacer, Zaheer Khan.
Zaheer Khan displayed his bowling proficiency in the match despite difficult conditions. Tim considered Zaheer Khan to be a very difficult bowler to face.
Tim Paine opined that Indian side also possesses some quality spinners. Spinners can be employed at this pitch in a very effective manner according to him. Tim Paine himself displayed a marvelous performance by scoring 92 runs today. With the unpleasant
encounter between Zaheer Khan and Ricky Ponting, Tim’s encouragement may be appreciated for the glory of the sport of cricket.
Australia and India have started the competition on a bitter note. However, the appreciation offered by Tim Paine may be regarded as a change of mood on the both sides. Stress and pressures do operate in the match and have an impact on human psychology.
But the real beauty of any sport lies in displaying sportsmanship and control. Hence, Tim Paine’s encouragement for the opponent batsmen is a very positive step to improve the field environment of the match. It is expected that a similar cordial and encouraging
attitude would prevail in the match for the remaining days.
