McDonald said that spin will play a key role in Australia’s success in India
Australia head coach Andrew McDonald believes that the biggest challenge for his team in the upcoming four Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy will be to deal with the Indian spinners. The Australian team is currently preparing for the first Test match to be held in Nagpur from February 9. Macdonald had earlier cautioned his batsmen that they would have to find their own ways to deal with ‘slide spin’. Australia has preferred to practice on its own instead of playing practice matches.
McDonald said before the team left for Bengaluru on Wednesday, “I believe the new ball slides more. We are preparing for this. “He said,” This is slide spin. There is every possibility that our openers will face spin bowlers initially, so this is being given special attention during practice and batting coach DIVA (Michael Di Vento) is playing a key role in this.
Macdonald said, “The key to success is having the clarity to play this type of bowling. It will depend on the individual and the circumstances.” The Australian team is currently training here in Alur. McDonald said, “We are trying to make sure that the batsmen have a clear opinion about their method. You won’t get the same conditions as in a match and there are complications associated with a cricket tour.
