Umesh Yadav keen to copy Glenn McGrath – Cricket News Update
India’s rookie fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umesh-Yadav-c94625, has revealed that he idolises the former legendary Australian pacer, Glenn McGrath, and wants to replicate him in terms of action and technique.
The young speedster claims that he will keep trying throughout to bowl like McGrath as much as possible, asserting that it is the only objective of his career.
Talking to the media today, Yadav said, “I like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Donald-McGrath-c60183 personally. In my life I would try that I get as close as possible to his bowling. McGrath is my hero and I am inspired by him and trying to bowl like him.”
The 24-year-old made his International debut in May 2010 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379, leading his team’s pace attack in the ongoing
ODI series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
Yadav, along with another young bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Varun-Aaron-c2744, architected Team India’s victory in the opening one-day match by scoring 6 crucial runs each at the eleventh hour.
Recalling that inning at Barabati Stadium, Yadav told, “We are tailenders and after the ninth wicket we thought what to do next. I was cool and wanted to play correct shots. Just single and double would be enough. Same was the case with Aaron.”
As the Men in Blue are scheduled to travel to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 (BCCI) to give him some space for practice according to the overseas playing
conditions, which are absolutely different from those at home.
“Indian wickets are different from the Australian. If I get some extra days it would be better for me,” stated the bowler.
The right-arm pacer has played 2 Test and 8 ODI matches so far, grabbing 9 and 10 wickets respectively in the two formats. He represents http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament.
Yadav is going to bowl in the 3rd ODI yesterday at Ahmedabad, hoping to restrain the Caribbean batsmen to a minimum total and steer his side to seal the series with the third consecutive victory.
