Switchblade Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Quote https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/103280/trial-against-spin-global-issue-faf-du-plessis-south-africa-cricket-sri-lanka "I think it would be unfair to judge our seam bowlers on these performances," du Plessis justified. "They tried hard, but it was just really tough to get something out of the wicket. The wicket was quite dusty. You saw with a lot of balls that when it hit there was a little bit of explosion. That takes out all the pace out of the delivery. Our pace factor that we had as a threat was not a weapon in these conditions." "Whenever a team tours the subcontinent - whether it's Australia or England or us - there's always a question mark on how you play spin. It's a world issue that we're trying to get better at," he added. "I don't think we play spin badly, but if you compare yourself to the subcontinent batters, then they're obviously a step above us in that regard. "It has to be a case of looking at how you can get your own home conditions to try and get exposed to these kinds of conditions a little more often, when you're playing first-class cricket. That's where the challenge lies for the South Africas and the Englands and the Australias of the world." "Teams these days make sure they can maximise their opportunity to win a game. For us, it will be similar to last time when they came over. We've got a really good seam attack so the pitches will have some pace and bounce," he concluded. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
RAZPOR Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 lol,you just suck playing spin,western teams keep on making random statements like these whenever they get embarrased by spin but will not loose any chance to make fun of Asian players sometimes struggling against pace(which tbh doesnt happen as spectacularly) saik, Switchblade, UrmiSinhaRay and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment
