World Cup, IND-AUS final: Indian bowlers superior than Aussies - Viswanath

With pacer Mohammed Shami in menacing form, India holds the edge in the bowling department against Australia, reckons batting great Gundappa Viswanath, who wants skipper Rohit Sharma to convert his aggressive starts to a big hundred in the World Cup final. After 10 wins in as many games, India will face Australia in the summit clash in Ahmedabad on Sunday. "Sometimes when you are not getting a break, Shami comes and straightaway gets you a wicket. Just see how many times he got first-ball wickets. Unfortunately, Hardik (Pandya) got injured and he (Shami) came and grabbed the opportunity," Viswanath told PTI. "He (Shami) hits the deck and got some pace. He skids through, that's the beauty of his bowling, so it goes a bit rapidly and surprises the batsmen. Others also, (Jasprit) Bumrah is Bumrah, he has a good repertoire and (Mohammed) Siraj getting better. "All in all, our attack is more balanced than Australians, no doubt." So, does the Indian team has an edge in the bowling ...

World Cup 2023 Final: Ravi Shastri's mantra for Team India against Aussies

India will be overwhelming favourites in the upcoming World Cup final against Australia, the team's former head coach Ravi Shastri said on Friday while urging the hosts to stick to their game plans. On the sidelines of an event in the city, Shastri spoke on India's approach in the title clash saying they do not need to do anything different. "I think they will be relaxed. They are playing at home, and it's a very experienced side. And they don't need to do anything different. "The way they have played.... it will be around the way they had left in the last game. They should be holding that cup very soon. "India will win the World Cup. They will start as favourites in the final. They have played outstandingly well," Shastri said. Despite having beaten Australia in the league stage, India will be under pressure against the five-time world champions, who have a great record in ICC finals. But Shastri believes that if the Men in Blue are able to stay calm and soak in the pressure, th

World Cup final: ICC pitch consultant back home, BCCI monitor preparations

What will be ICC pitch consultant Andy Atkinson's future was a question floating around as the burly New Zealander was nowhere to be seen during pitch preparation 48 hours ahead of the World Cup final between India and Australia. It is learnt that Atkinson had already left the country as his assignment is already over. "Andy's assignment is over and he has gone back. Don't try to find controversy where there is none. Nowhere it is written that ICC's pitch consultant need to be present before final," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity. Atkinson exactly isn't a favourite with BCCI brass after accusing the host nation of changing track for the semi-final between India and New Zealand from a fresh to a used one. However, the ICC later sent a clarification that there is no such rule of holding knock-out matches on a fresh track and Atkinson was apprised of the development in advance. On Friday, the two senior BCCI's chief of ground staff Ashish Bhowmick and his second in

I just try and bowl stump to stump: Mohammed Shami on his World Cup success

Senior India pacer Mohammed Shami has said there is nothing extraordinary in his bowling, adding he just focuses on stump-to-stump length and putting the delivery in "a zone" to get wickets. Shami has been India's go-to bowler in the World Cup, where he is currently the side's top wicket-taker, scalping 23 wickets in six matches at an economy of 5.01, including a four-for and three fifers. He grabbed seven wickets in the semifinal against New Zealand in Mumbai on Tuesday. "I always look at what the situation is, how the pitch and the ball are behaving and if the ball is swinging or not," Shami told Star Sports. "And, if the ball is not swinging, I try and bowl stump to stump while trying to land it in a zone where the ball can catch an edge of the batters (when they) are driving." Shami missed the initial four matches of the World Cup, with all-rounder Hardik Pandya being the preferred pacer in the team before an ankle injury ruled him out for the remainder of the competition.
