Yadav's pace was always there. What was more impressive was his improved control and ability to nail those reverse-swinging yorkers.
They used Yadav in short bursts which is what helped him. Pitches like this will suit him more where he won't have long spells anyway.

Really good game. Ojha and Pujara :two_thumbs_up: I hope Ashwin improves. He needs to have more patience.
True. But Dhoni missed an easy stumping off his bowling also viru dropped a catch? Either way.. his over the wicket line to Cook not irritated Sunny but also me. IT was pointless line he persisted for very long time in the morning of 4th day.

MS Dhoni's approach negative for cricket: Steve Waugh

82080.jpg106002.2.jpg

Former Australian captain Steve Waugh on Tuesday criticised Mahendra Singh Dhoni for asking the curators to "doctor the pitches" and pointed out that if a side wants to be the best it should be able to negotiate all conditions. "Dhoni's comments this morning were really negative to the game, when he said Indian curators to doctor the pitches, which I can't understand," Waugh said during the India- Australia Innovative Forum here. The Indian skipper, after winning the first Test against England at Ahmedabad on Monday, expressed his displeasure at the Motera wicket and said that "we wanted the curators to prepare "You want to be aggressive and be the best in the world, you got to take all the conditions and not always ask for the conditions that suits your style of play. I was a bit surprised with that. I think if you are looking to be the best in the world you got to learn to play in all conditions." The former great said that during his tenure as the head of the Australian team he was never bothered about what sort of wicket they were playing on. "I captained the side for 57 games and never once had a word with the curator about what sort of pitch we are going to play," Waugh said. However, the veteran of 168 Tests said that India were the favourites to win the four-match rubber against England. "India are a strong side, always hard to beat in India and some of the young players are coming through, which is great sign for Indian cricket. (Cheteshwar) Pujara getting a double century, Virat Kohli, (Pragyan) Ojha taking wickets, it is great for Indian cricket. "You got to have to turn out of this, no players are bigger than the game, someone will always step up. Sometimes you get too carried away that experienced players are irreplaceable but the natural thing will happen, someone will step up to play and take that role. India will will win this series, I think they will win it 3-0 because the pitches will suit their team," the 47-year-old said.

^ Correct me if I'm wrong. His line' date=' length and control should be credited to TA Sekar! :hatsoff:[/quote'] Yeah, Sekar seems to have done good work with him. The track at Mumbai will have more bounce. Umesh should be asked to bowl only yorkers with the occasional bouncer (if there is bounce). The fields given to Yadav in Ahmedabad were pretty bad. If he's going to bowl yorker length, better have deep fine leg and deep square leg in case he bowls down the leg side or low full tosses. In fact one of his deliveries went for 4 byes because it swung too much.

The one to Bresnan. That swung a long way.

other than on slow picthes like this, offspinner can become toothless against right handers when batsmen can get back and play them easily with no zip and bounce in the wicket. Ojha was taking the ball way from them which is always dangerous.

Ojha was taking the ball way from them which is always dangerous.[/quote'] Good thing they complement each other.. When Ojha is bit ineffective Ashwin steps up and vice versa. That has been the case for the last few home tests. THey have played 6 tests together at home Ashwin 6 tests 44 wickets 21.15 avge Ojha 6 tests 42 wickets 20.35 avge Amazingly Umesh has complemented them Umesh 5 tests 18 wickets 27.16 avge
