Guest DeveGowda Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 True' date=' the batsmen need to score runs to keep the momentum and since its easier than scoring of Steyn/Morkel/Parnell, there can be some easy wickets .. Boje too got a fiver a decade back. If the conditions support u and the opposition faces a daunting task, u can get wickets. It seemed Hauritz got his wickets in a similar manner.[/quote'] But why our Burji wont get wkts ? Link to comment
Clarke Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 But why our Burji wont get wkts ? He must get the most attention of the touring team .. other than the fact that he has his off days. The very fact that the batting consultant of the visiting team announces success in tackling Bhajji at the end of day 1 indicates the respect he has. Link to comment
Karan114 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 http://www.cricket365.com/news/story/5928678/No-excuses-from-Dhoni As Steyn and Morkel tired on day four, spinner Paul Harris came to the fore and took three crucial wickets. The left-armer was largely written off ahead of the Test but his dismissal of Sachin Tendulkar - just six balls after the batsman had reached his 46th Test hundred - ensured that South Africa's decision to enforce the follow on would not come back to haunt them. Harris laboured through 38 patient overs in the second innings, 17 of which were maidens, and Dhoni was forced to concede that the bowler's plans were certainly effective. "He is not a big turner of the ball but some of his deliveries after pitching on the rough go straight," he said. "We will try to play different strokes [in the second Test in Kolkata], like sweep shots. We can't just score 50-odd runs off a spinner who is bowling nearly 30 overs. "He can really bind one end for them. He's one bowler who can really bowl 30 overs out of the 90 in the day. You can't look to play, just 30 overs you can block, at some point of time you have to look for runs. At the same time there's not plenty of shots you can offer to that line of attack."
