Krejza will struggle: Ganguly February 16, 2011 Jason Krejza bowls in the nets in Bangalore.FORMER India captain Sourav Ganguly said he believes Australian spinner Jason Krejza is going to struggle to make an impact in the World Cup on the subcontinent. But he is tipping Ricky Ponting's defending champions to reach the semi-finals of the six-week tournament, which begins on Saturday in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. Krejza is the only frontline spinner in the world No. 1-ranked Australian squad of 15, with Ponting likely to call upon part-time slow bowlers David Hussey and Steve Smith throughout the tournament.

''Lack of a quality spin bowler is sure to hurt them at some stage,'' Ganguly said. ''Jason Krejza is a decent bowler but against quality players of spin bowling, he may struggle. ''Their attack lacks balance. Also after the warm-up game against India (in which Australia were bowled out for 176 to lose by 38 runs), questions have to be asked about their ability to handle top-class spinners.'' Australia will play six group matches, beginning with a match against Zimbabwe in Ahmedabad on February 21.
