saneindian Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Wasn't really a flat track. A dry wicket where the ball was gripping the surface. Good effort from Jadeja. That spell in the last session was very good, great control, great line and length. So far I think his test bowling has been a bit of a surprise. Didn't expect him to be taking wickets but he has done that albeit on helpful tracks. Kudos to him for his efforts. But long way to go, will have to work harder on his bowling and add the variation of fight, loop, pace if he expects to play test cricket regularly. Link to comment

Lord Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Already breaking up' date=' will offer lot of turn and bounce tomorrow itself[/quote'] yeah but largely the ball didnt spin much,even from Ashwin or maybe I'm just comparing with Chennai:--D Link to comment
Crookbond Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I still don't think this track has broken up as yet. I think in some ways the Aussies (Henriques in particular) dug a grave for themselves by being rooted to the crease after Wade's wicket. This allowed our spinners to bowl fuller and create more chances. Link to comment

This allowed our spinners to bowl fuller and create more chances. +1 its not a 237 track. thats for sure. If India fluff the chance to take a decent lead the issue is with the batsman. From what i saw many australian batsman assumed Jadeja would get turn and the ball just went straight on. Link to comment

From what i saw many australian batsman assumed Jadeja would get turn and the ball just went straight on. Its still a pretty good wicket to bat on. It was just poor batting that did the Aussies in. When Clarke and Wade were going, they were scoring pretty well. Wade pretty much gave it away with that cut shot and batsmen coming in just didnt get their feet moving and never got set. Some odd deliveries turned but wicket is not really tough to bat. But Pattinson and Siddle will be a threat to Indian batsmen because Pattinson did well even on that Chennai track. This pitch has more bounce and also some movement off the pitch which B Kumar utilized well. Link to comment

From what i saw many australian batsman assumed Jadeja would get turn and the ball just went straight on. On this point, the nice thing about Jadeja's arm balls are that there is just no difference in angle of delivery, position of the arm or of the seam than his normal off spinner. The only difference is the trajectory. Here is a snapshot of the delivery of the straighter ball which turns (wicket of Henriques) versus the turning one - Link to comment

You can't just blindly attack - you still need to keep your head. Link to comment
G_B_ Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 good post DM good analysis. is it fair to say that Jadeja relies on the angle and trajectory + varying his pace rather than actual out and out turn? Link to comment
Lord Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 ^ is that intentional though,I dont think even he knows it will turn or not lol Link to comment

carnish Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 ^ is that intentional though' date='I dont think even he knows it will turn or not lol[/quote'] Thats even better .. surprise element .. batsmen cant even read it in his eyes. Link to comment
