At the Team India nets on Friday,MS Dhoni was doubling up as bowling coach while standing behind wickets to Harbhajan Singh. With his premier spinner not getting the kind of bounce and turn he usually does,the skipper must be a worried man. However,Dhoni sounded confident that the off-spinner would fire soon.
One thing for sure,he is not bowling at his best. The kind of individual or player he is,he loves challenges. We are waiting because its just one game where will bounce back and get us those wickets we really need during the middle overs. We are not too worried about these experienced guys,who have spent enough time at the international level, he added.
Dhoni had a few doubts over how the newly laid Ferozeshah Kotla pitch would behave when India take on Australia on Saturday. It looks like a dry wicket. I think it will keep low,I hope it doesnt break too much as the game progresses, he said.
Meanwhile,despite the comprehensive loss in Nagpur,Australian skipper Ricky Ponting was of the view that his side had a slight edge as New South Wales and Victoria had played a lot on the Kolta wicket during the recently concluded Champions League.
I think it will help us a bit,we will discuss that in the team meeting and they (NSW and Victoria players) will give inputs. We have already started thinking what the wicket will play like and what tactics we should adopt.
