"Such is the track that I don't think any target above 120 can be chased. This is because there are grass patches at drivable length where if the ball lands on seam, batsmen are going for the drive and that's a mistake. There are damp patches with moisture and the ball is rearing up awkwardly. Life is difficult for batsmen," Tiwary told PTI today.
If one thought that he was happy with bowlers, then Tiwary's analysis will make one think twice.
"When I won the toss, I knew we had the bowling firepower to get them quickly. If you feel 97 is a good effort, I don't feel the same. On this track with our bowlers, we should have got them out for 60. It is that kind of a track. I believe we gave 25 runs extra today," the skipper said.
"I don't know whether it's possible or not but that's the chaseable par score in the fourth innings on this track. I reckon that if you get to bowl 36 deliveries and pitch 20 off them on those damp or grassy patches, we can get seven wickets quickly.
