IND Vs AUS: The second match of the 5-match Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is being played with pink ball in Adelaide. Former spinner Harbhajan Singh strongly criticized the bowling of the Indian team in this match. Harbhajan believes that despite getting seam movement in Roshni, the Indian team could not use the ball well. Harbhajan wanted the Indian bowlers to bowl more against Australia, but nothing like this happened. Here let us tell you that the Indian team, which came to bat first after winning the toss, was all out for just 180 runs. In response to which the Australian team has so far scored 215 runs after losing 5 wickets.
Indian bowlers made this mistake!
When Harbhajan Singh was asked in an interview, ‘India got favorable conditions for bowling in floodlights, but still the bowlers of the Indian team could not perform anything special. In response to this, Harbhajan Singh said, ‘India did not bowl many balls against Australia. This is beyond my understanding. Australia made the same mistake in the beginning. He did not even allow the batsmen to play the ball. India lost wickets continuously. Batsmen were out due to bouncy bowling. I think Indian bowlers could have bowled better than this.
Why should bowlers not be given a chance to bowl?
Harbhajan further said, ‘A lot of balls were bowled on the sixth or seventh stump. He was not given a chance to play the driving length ball. Three slips were kept. But you get its benefit only when you bowl full length and on the stumps. And when there was so much seam movement (more bounce) at the stumps under lights, why did you not give the bowlers a chance to bowl?
Ashwin should be bowled
The former spinner gave suggestions to the Indian team the next day and said, ‘India should bowl to R Ashwin after 8-10 overs. They should not take much time to make changes. I think short spells of four overs should be given. It will be known tomorrow how effective fast bowling will be during the day.
