Bowling – India’s biggest problem
Australia announced their squad for
the forthcoming series against India.
Australia squad:
Michael Clarke (captain), Shane Watson ,David Warner, Ed Cowan, Phillip Hughes,
Matthew Wade, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Johnson, Jackson Bird,
Xavier Doherty, Moises Henriques, Usman Khawaja, Glenn Maxwell, James
Pattinson, Steve Smith, Peter Siddle .
On paper , it looks a weak side but the big
question is……does india have the bowlers to take 20 wickets and win a test
match. I doubt. The series against England was a eye opener where our bowlers
did not perform well in conditions suited to our bowlers. On the contrary, the English
bowlers exploited the conditions well and ensured they beat India in the tests-
a feat that they had not accomplished for the last 28 years.
If our batting fails, then we will see a repeat
against what happened against England.
Even though India would be favorites to win the
tests, Australia can spring a big surprise and should not be taken lightly.
The
bowling department will be the reason for India’s victory or defeat.
