| INDIA@World Cup 2015 |
It was hoped that everything that happened in Perth for the past two days would be the topic of conversation when an Indian player attended the interaction with the media before WACA ground game. But, as has been the practice, India sent the Man of the Match for his former party, R Ashwin, for the press conference after the match.
Ashwin pragmatic interaction with the media meant the conversation largely concentrated on the game at hand and his performance in the previous match against UAE here where took the career best figures of 4 to 25. shape improves the offspinner in the tournament has given India's control of the middle acquisitions which has flourished attacking hitters.
Bowler Pace Mohammad Shami, who was rested for the previous match against the UAE continued to bowl in the nets, suggesting that he may return to his place, but if India would sacrifice Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who had returned from injury feature of the game last Saturday, remains to be seen. Bhuvneshwar boasts a strong record against the West Indies, especially Chris Gayle, whose threat continues to keep the great Jamaican having recently broken the first double century in the history of the World Cup.
As expected, which should be the only selection area where the direction of the Indian team can have a long discussion, like the rest of the bowling and batting has impressed in the last three games. While the above order have consistently been among the races, the likes of MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja in the lower middle order have not spent enough time in between, and against Pakistan and South Africa were not able to boot after higher order had put to them. But with coach Duncan Fletcher have not rejoined the team, India would look to him as they hope to improve on that aspect of his game.
West Indies, by contrast, have enjoyed a long break since arriving in the city, and save for the odd practice session, have been limited to see the action of its group. A heavy defeat to South Africa has meant the West Indies can not afford more mistakes to stay in contention for a spot in the quarterfinals and the match against India will put under extra pressure.
Back problems Gayle have meant the batter takes part limited in practice sessions the team and after a blow light in the networks in the field of Murdoch University on Tuesday, was seen to have a long conversation with the president selectors Clive Lloyd, away from the rest of the team. After giving an interview about reconsider his Test career, which may have been picking the brains of Lloyd to strengthen their belief after the rout of his team received at the hands of South Africa.
West Indies captain Jason Holder has fond memories of the WACA ground since making his international debut here, but knows an opposition like India could trip up easily. Holder was scrapped by AB de Villiers in the game at the SCG, and how the captain returns after giving away 104 runs from his 10 overs speak volumes about his character at the end of Friday's game
