http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292 excited about Indian batsmen’s fight against Aussie quicks – Cricket News Update
Former Pakistani skipper, Wasim Akram, has cited Indian batsmens' upcoming battle against the Australian fast bowlers as 'an exciting event' to watch.
Australia and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772, but their stats on bouncy tracks are
not impressive.
Hence, Wasim believes that despite the absence of the teen sensation, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 from the Aussie bowling attack, the Kangaroos will give a tough time to the Men in Blue.
"Australia will not give flat decks for Indian batsmen to thrive. Their fast bowlers bowl at 145 km/hour and above. If all three of them bowl at an average speed of 147-148 consistently then Indians will definitely find it tough. How they cope against it
will be riveting to see," said Akram.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204 will be the men in-charge of the pace bowling department during the opening game. Wasim felt that on a green-top wicket at MCG, the trio will be a mighty threat for the Indian batting line-up.
On the other hand, many cricket analysts earlier urged selectors to axe the two veteran batsmen, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377, who have underperformed recently.
A few days ago, the former skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 at Hobart ‘one of the old boys will go’.
However, Wasim has put its weight behind the duo, and explained that Ponting and Hussey are still dangerous batsmen.
"I understand Ponting is short of runs. I understand he is 37, but so is Sachin (Tendulkar). If Ponting and Hussey http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 around in the middle for 45 minutes or one hour, they will get back to form straightaway," added the legendary pacer who is world’s second
highest wicket taker in the 50-over leg of the sport – 502 scalps in 356 games.
