Now, ahead of the series, Australia’s two ace pacers: Brett Lee and Stuart Clark- think that patience will be the key to success for Australian bowlers in the series.
Playing test cricket in India is always very tough for any team in the world because of condition and India’s passionate fans who are capable of taking a stern test of the visiting sides. To add to Australia’s would, none of their specialist pacers have previous experience of playing test cricket in India.
Brett Lee, who would lead Australia’s pace attack, has recently said that Australian players must be patient all through the test series. He thinks holding patience is the key to success in India. Lee, who needs three more test wickets to surpass Craig McDermott’s 291 wickets to become Australia’s fourth highest wicket-taker in test cricket, also says that Australia has to play as a team and be patient in the series.
Stuart Clark, another important pacer of Australia, also thinks the way Lee feels about it. He thinks, the wickets in India are harder and do not have bounce.
