Mohammad Shami: In the second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia (IND vs AUS), Mohammed Shami has given a warning to the Australian batsmen. He has said that the teams coming to play Test matches in India have to be all out. He also said that if the Indian fast bowlers do not do this work, then the spinners will do it.
Mohammed Shami said this after the end of the first day’s play of the second Test match being played in Delhi. On the first day of this match, Shami bowled brilliantly and took 4 wickets for just 60 runs. Here Ashwin and Jadeja also took 3-3 wickets. The Australian team was all out for just 263 runs.
‘All out done everywhere’
In the press conference held after the end of the first day’s play, when Shami was asked about Australia being all out on the very first day, he gave an interesting answer. Shami said, ‘As a team, we do not depend on the toss. It doesn’t matter what happens in the toss. Whatever work we get a chance to do first, we try to do it better. Rest all out has been done everywhere. Did it before also. Will do in future also. All out is bound to happen in India. If we don’t do it then spinners will do it.
‘Fast bowlers also get help on Indian pitches’
During this, Shami also answered the question related to the spinners of Indian pitches being more helpful. He said that it is not so, on Indian pitches even fast bowlers can get help with their sensible bowling. Shami said, ‘We all come to the national team after playing a lot of domestic cricket. In such a situation, all the fast bowlers know how to make better use of domestic conditions. It would not be correct to say that Indian conditions only help spinners.
