This Aussie side can't play spin


Recommended Posts

I say let the groundsman and curators at Mohali start preparing a spin friendly surface already. On a flattish surface their lineup is too long and powerful to be contained. In fact if B'desh spinners had bowled well and fielded decently, they could've had Aus in serious trouble.

It appears as if Aus and NZ don't have to worry much at Mohali at least vs Pak

Most of the grass will likely be shaved off before the match 

Even if it's shaved off, the pitch is unlikely to support spin. In fact shaving the grass will make the pitch a patta and I'm scared of this Aussie lineup (which bats till 10) on a patta :afraid:

I have faith that the team will get past B'desh :two_thumbs_up: It's the prospect of facing Aussies on a non-turning track which scares me.

In the last two games, once we were saved by Rohit and once by Kohli, hopefully the cat has not used up its 9 lives 

On the other hand, Tamim, Sarkar, Shabbir, Mamudullah, Sakib, etc can prove more than handful for our bowlers

If we can't beat B'desh, there's no point discussing scenarios of how we reach semis. The base assumption is that India will be able to beat B'desh and so far there's nothing we've seen which leads us to believe otherwise. The Aussie team is a different matter altogether as we need a turner to get the better of them. They bat till 10 and will murder us on a non-turner.

We have batted very badly in the last two games .... the track at B'lore for Ind could be like the WI vs SL game 

Our fielding is a positive though! 

I think we should wait for Ind to go past BD .... If we do, we will probably gain some momentum

Hope the Mohali curator makes a green pitch for Pak match. We got 4 pacers who hit 90MPH .. no other team in the tournament does.

But your batsmen who are not as good as NZ's would have to face a dangerous pace bowling attack as well

Low scoring game would favor us ... NZ have too many gun batsmen and would score big on a flat track

Low scores does not necessarily mean easy game .... on the other hand, high scores do not mean a harder game .... difficulty is associated with conditions and opposition 

Pak lost its games to Ind (AC and WT20) and BD (AC) on surfaces that were relatively difficult to bat on (low scoring games) .... while it beat SL (AC) and BD (WT20) on surfaces that were relatively easier to bat on 

Except Amir, I would not rate your pace attack high esp against teams that are used to playing in such conditions

Pitch and conditions

 

The World T20 pitches have kept everyone on sharp notice. The one in Mohali was barely distinguishable from the outfield on match eve, although that may just be to keep the pitch from crumbling as a result of the prevalent hot and dry weather. So very little fear of rain, and very little fear of dew as well. "Mohali is probably more like New Zealand conditions than perhaps Nagpur and Dharamsala," Hesson said.

Yeah. Wahab, Sami etc bowled really well in the Asia Cup on a green top.

Sami took out two in two on a square turner ... Amir's been excellent and Wahab and Irfan have enough quality to get it done on a proper fast pitch.

I hope they don't shave that grass ... their have been enough flat and spin pitches this tournament.

Can your batsmen handle pure seam and swing just in case grass is left?
