India vs South Africa: Gary Kristen is confident on the Indian Bowling unit by the returning of Zaheer Khan. The Bowling side is expected to bounce back in the 2nd Test between South Africa vs India (Ind vs SA) at Durban.
“Bottom line is, we need to get 20 Test wickets. I think we have shown in the last three years that we have the ability to get 20 Test wickets in any conditions. It’s up to us to prove to every one that we can do that here. It’s up to us to prove to ourselves too that we can do that. Obviously, it is nice to have Zaheer back. We look forward to whatever conditions are given to us, and we have the quality in our bowling line-up as well”, Kristen stated in response to the bowling comments.
Gary added that, if there is a chance of rain in the coming match, the pitch would retain a lot of moisture creating trouble to the first batting players. He also added that the batsmen should be in a position of performing their skills at any conditions. He stated about the importance of scoring above 400 in the first innings and expressed his assurance on the top batting order.
MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh and Suresh Raina have decided to keep off the optional training session on Thursday at the Kingsmead. Kristen has no expression on the spot no.6 position, but Raina is feeling little concerned on his position after getting failed in two matches.
