Morgan stated that Australia can be hoping that India succumb a little bit bit to the extent of expectations on their shoulders. India can be hoping to proceed the aggressive nature, he added.
It is troublesome to discover a weak spot on this Indian staff. They have all bases coated. Even after damage to their star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, Indians didn’t lose momentum. Nasser feels that Aussies must discover a weak spot of their bowling once they bat by targetting each bowler and if any of them crumbles, go after him.
“No sides have gone after Kuldeep Yadav in this tournament. New Zealand attacked Siraj. The thing with this Indian side is that when Siraj is hit, Shami comes back. Bumrah at death in quite brilliant….Australia will need to make Rohit do something different,” stated Nasser.
Morgan concurred with this view and stated that Autralia want to use stress on each Indian bowler and play aggresive fashion of cricket and see which ones flinches first. “If you find that one particular bowler is struggling, maybe be Mohammed Shami, whoever it is, you put more pressure on him,” stated Morgan.
Both of the previous captains agreed that Australia want to make sure Rohit doesn’t simply use 5 real bowlers which are their within the lineup. Unlike Australia, India should not have part-timers who can bowl some tight overs. Travis Head’s off-spin helped Australia dismiss two essential batters within the semi-final of the World Cup whereas Glenn Maxwell bowled economical ten overs on the day Adam Zampa struggled.
India’s bowling choices stay restricted and if one in all them has a nasty day, that small weak spot may very well be used to good impact by Australia.Â
