Sachin wants Umesh to bowl the right length

[J P K]

Tendulkar's instructions to Umesh Yadav at net session were clear -- just bowl outside off-stump, short-of-a-length Sachin Tendulkar was somewhat pushy at India's net session yesterday. His instructions to Umesh Yadav were clear -- just bowl outside off-stump, short-of-a-length. And yet, young Umesh continued to either spray it around, or pitch it too full. Around this time, Tendulkar yelled at the fast bowler: 'Arrey, idhar daal yaar... idhar daal,' he said once, before reiterating the same in Marathi. Tendulkar then drew a line with his bat at the area he intended to be bowled at. He certainly did enjoy the short-pitched stuff from Umesh, bringing out the upper cut -- a shot he played a few times during last month's Wankhede Test. Visibly, the master batsman is very diligent about his preparation.A little later, Tendulkar cried out to Ishant Sharma and Pragyan Ojha for running into bowl one after another without a breather. 'Thoda aaram se...ek ke bad ek aisa math dal...thoda aaram se," he said. A wave of electricity was felt as VVS Laxman walked past a heap of onlookers and media persons, his godlike status in Australia receiving more validation. The veteran batsman though did not acknowledge the presence of the amused faces, getting straight to work at the nets. Laxman, who will attempt to create history by becoming only the second visiting batsman after Wally Hammond to score four consecutive hundreds at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) early next year, a Test that will also mark the 100th of the venue, enjoyed quick throwdowns from newly recruited Raghavindraa before moving on to facing Pragyan Ojha. A local journalist said, "Nobody demands more respect in this country that Laxman, mate. He's the king." The Jack Fingleton scoreboard is a striking feature at the Manuka Oval. It was originally located at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), dated to 1901, however as the iconic venue installed a new electronic scoreboard at the ground in the early 1980s, the scoreboard was relocated to the Manuka Oval here. The scoreboard was named after Jack Fingleton, who had died at the time of installation at Manuka. Fingleton was an Australian opening batsman as well as a political correspondent in Canberra and prolific author. He was famously acknowledged as the 'Man who stood up to Bradman'. And ironically, the Bradman Pavilion is located bang outside the Fingleton scoreboard here. Three Indian print journalists including this writer were desperately hoping to listen to Rahul Dravid deliver the annual Bradman Oration here at the Australian War Memorial yesterday. They reached the entrance of the momentous venue almost an hour prior to Dravid's moment of opulence. A host of legendary Australian sportspersons, former cricketers, current captain Michael Clarke and Dravid's teammates flocked in one after another, dressed etiquette with majestic tuxedos and classic bow ties. The strong breeze and cold weather notwithstanding, the journos were ready to go to any extent to get a glimpse of Dravid orating the lecture that made headlines this morning. Unfortunately, they were deprived of this privilege as the event was restricted to invitees only. http://www.mid-day.com/sports/2011/dec/151211-sports-Sachin-wants-Umesh-to-bowl-the-right-length.htm

but.. this is about how SRT wanted Yadav to bowl for his shots. It was not about how Yadav should be bowling to Aussie batsmen. Misleading title.

A spot on preparation one would think given the efforts to work on the upper cut and being put to use here by SRT. Impressive.

Sachin Tendulkar boosted my confidence: Yadav India's young bowling sensation Umesh Yadav felt nervous bowling at the likes of Ricky Ponting in his first Test against Australia but said Sachin Tendulkar's advice hugely boosted his confidence as he scalped three crucial wickets on the opening day on Monday. Yadav was seen to get a lot of encouragement from Tendulkar at mid-off or mid-on and the young fast bowler said the Indian legend told him to bowl fuller length deliveries to get wickets. "Even against West Indies, at mid off or mid-on, he just boosts my confidence. He does not tell me anything particular, just asks me to bowl in my areas. He told me that in India you could get away by bowling back of length stuff. Here in Australia, it's important to bowl a fuller length," Yadav told reporters at the press conference after first day's play. Yadav said he was happy to have taken the most wickets for the visitors but was disappointed that he gave away far too many runs. "I took wickets but also gave away far too many runs. So I'm happy and I'm not happy as well," said Yadav who took three wickets for 96 runs for his day's effort. Yadav was pulled often by Australian batsmen, especially in the post lunch session when both Ponting and opener Ed Cowan had a go at him, and he said he bowled short balls to contain the batsmen. "It's not that I wanted to bowl short or the team has planned so. The two fielders in the deep, at fine leg and square leg, were intended to keep the scoring down more than to catch the batsmen off a pull shot," he said. One of Yadav's victims was Ponting whom he claimed caught in the slips off an outswinger and he admitted he was a bit nervous initially bowling at the Australian legend. "I would not say any one wicket in particular was special. All wickets were special. I am touring Australia for the first time so whatever success comes my way would make me happy. In whatever way I could contribute for the team, I am happy I could do it," Yadav said. "It was exciting to bowl to Ponting. He has been such a big player. I wouldn't say I was very nervous but yes there was a little bit of nervousness," he said. Yadav said that overall India had a good day in office though Australia put together important 63-runs for the seventh wicket at the *** end of play on Monday. "Partnerships happen. We did try to break it but they kept going. Yes, we have conceded a few runs but otherwise the day was good for us," said Yadav. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/india-in-australia/top-stories/Sachin-Tendulkar-boosted-my-confidence-Yadav/articleshow/11254700.cms
