You want your best batsman to perform
You want your best batsman to perform. You need to back it up with evidence.
Should Aussies mellow down a bit?I think the media blows sledging out of
proportion. The attitude the Australians have to get back to is the right
balance of killer instinct and competitive nature.How did the recent
ball-tampering incident affect you?It’s been a lot of different emotions. It’s
up to the umpires and the technology at hand. They have done it ever since I was
playing. On top of that, they then admitted it at a press conference, which made
it worse…Yes, they should have sent the coach for a PC like every other team
does. They have been severely punished. I expect Bumrah to do really well simply
because of the way he bowls. He can’t just go out and play his game and hit
through the line. I know the way the Kiwis go about it and I respect that. He
has got to be able to adapt.. He will enjoy bowling with the duke ball which has
a pronounced seam. Well, most of these guys have played in England before. There
will be a little bit of seam movement and swing in the air. A lot has been said.
The punishment has been quite extreme. They have to rely on experience. There
were a lot of errors made from the outset. If it’s happening, it’s really
disappointing.. Abuse and being personal; all these things are crossing the
line. They know that what they did was wrong. It’s a question of the Indian
batsmen getting enough runs,†he saidMcGrath, who is here to supervise MRF Pace
Foundation camp, also spoke on the ball-tampering row that shook the cricket
world.Virat Kohli vs James Anderson is expected to be the defining battle during
the Test series…Obviously, Kohli is a more experienced player this time around.
When you have got a bowler like Anderson who knows the conditions so well and
bowling pretty well at the moment, it’s going to be a lot of hard work for
Kohli.
You said the Austr alians were naïve. But if you look at positives to come
out of pu ball Supplier it, it will be
interesting to see what happens if somebody gets done for ball tampering in the
future now.ExcerptsIndia will be playing a Test series in England after a lot of
white-ball cricket."Bhuvi and Bumrah have got pretty good control. If he
performs, it will have a knock-on effect on the rest of the team. I think the
Australian way is to play hard and tough in the middle, but in all fairness. If
they see it as a problem, they have to be really proactive and get on top of it.
With technology and 30-odd cameras around, they can see everything. That’s what
you need in England. I think sledging is a wrong term.Do you think Steve Smith
and David Warner can bounce back?Yes, everyone makes mistakes.There have been
suggestions that Australia have to cut down on sledging. In Australia, we call
it a little bit of mongrel. Does it worry you?There is always a concern if it’s
true. Warner might find it a little tougher coming back, but he, too, is good a
player as well. Experience plays a big part to be able to adjust and adapt
quickly. He has got to be prepared to work hard. There is nothing new I can add
to what happened. He has got a unique action, but he bowls good lengths. They
had to front the media and everyone back home. I’m sure Smith will come back a
better person and player. It’s a low point for Australian cricket. There is
always a bit of chat. If anyone gets done again, the punishment might be a
little bit harsher. There’s no doubt that he’s a quality batsman, but the
English conditions are pretty tough. The little bit of chatting is putting a
pressure on the opponents and making them feel uncomfortable. That’s where the
line was crossed previously.The Aussie expects Bhuvi, Bumrah to excel in
England. Australia need these quality players in the team.Al Jazeera’s sting
operation and corruption in cricket.. I’m looking forward to that battle. In
England, you just have to get the right length. If we become too nice on the
field, that’s not the Australian way. Glenn McGrath Chennai: Former Australia
pacer Glenn McGrath feels Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah will enjoy
bowling in England conditions and the onus is on India’s batsmen to deliver in
the highly-anticipated five-Test series in August. I don’t know whether you can
stop it. They can see what’s happening. So the line in the sand has been drawn
there. How challenging is it going to be for them to adapt to the red ball in
the English conditions?A lot of it depens on the tour matches and the
preparation time. You have got to adapt a lot quicker these days. To think that
you can get away with that in the first place was very naive. It’s hard to
comment as nothing has been proved yet and I haven’t seen the footage.Can ball
tampering be stopped?The umpires are in a good position
