India’s call for a rotation of speed players during the spin-dominated Border-Gavaskar cup match has been questioned but bowling coach Paras Mhambrey insisted on Thursday that the decision Their decision will benefit speed players in the long run. Australia ended the opening day at 255th to 4th with Usman Khawaja got a hundred on his 14th Test. While Mohamad Shami And Mohammed Siraj played the first two Tests, which is Umesh Yadav who received the Home Test after a long stay in Indore at the expense of Shami, who retired from competition. For the fourth and final Test, Shami returned to the starting lineup while Siraj rested, giving Umesh a rare encounter in the home series.
“You have to make the call because you also have to consider the individual workload of each pitcher,” Mhambrey said when asked if pacemakers’ rhythms are affected by the rest time. mid-game or not.
“I think the way we look at Shami, we need to give him some rest and it’s an opportunity for us to let the likes of Siraj or Umesh get a game as well.” After this series, we i have the World Championship (final) and we need to look at that too. Sometimes you have to rotate the bowler and that’s important to the player as well,” he explains.
Umesh, widely regarded as the best Indian pitcher in Australia’s first innings at Indore, conceded 11 boundaries in his 0/58 in 15 rounds with an amazing rate. almost 4 times per set.
“Ideally you want a pitcher to have two or three games in a row but under these conditions that may not be the case.
“He (Umesh) looks so rhythmic in Indore on the spell he’s bowling and he picks three quick shots and there are days when you land and you don’t get the beat.
“Maybe it was the first spell that he bowled (with Travis’s head) but then he put the ball in the right area and worked it out for us,” Mhambrey said in his defense.
‘We leaked runs in 10 passes’
Mhambrey calls the Motera track a batting belt but expects that spinners will get some off-track purchases from day three.
“It looked like a hit line,” said Mhambrey. “We were expecting to see the racquet yesterday, unlike the other three places we’ve played.”
The former Indian middle speed racer feels that the pitchers have conceded more in the last 10 rounds.
“The first session, they hit well,” he admitted.
“Initially, the runs leaked and the second session was good for us but as the ball got older, scoring became difficult and the final session became difficult.
“We have conceded 56 goals in the last 10 innings and I think the game is a bit drifting for us. At the end of the day, if the score is 220 to 4, then that will be good for us. Yes, We ran a bit more in the last inning.” Mhambrey reckons the rack will remain firm even on day two.
“No, I think when the game goes on, maybe in the third session tomorrow, maybe there’s a bit of a diversion and you’ve seen a few balls that have diverted but nothing compared to what you’ve seen. before.
“You can see few spins from the third day, there will be little help for the shooters.”
Did India miscalculate the timing of the second new ball?
India won the second new ball in the 81st minute and Mhambrey himself has said that on a slow track, scoring in the soft old SG Test is not an easy proposition.
Shouldn’t India delay getting the second new ball? “The new ball coming out of the racket is better and makes scoring easier but Rohit must have thought nothing was wrong with that racket, so at least to the spinners, the new ball will go. through beautifully.
“If we pick up a few wicks, we’ll talk differently. That’s fine and it will happen.”
Credit to Usman Khawaja
The assistant coach of India did not forget to praise Khawaja.
“I think he played really well. If you look at the way he played, he played reasonably and performed the role of an anchor and knew the course of the game, he played well.” “We’ve tried whatever we can on this track and sometimes you have to give credit to the hitter,” he concluded.
