Putting the onus on Indian bowlers to stop Australia’s winning juggernaut in the five-match ODI series, Team Director Ravi Shastri on Tuesday said the Dhoni-led side can certainly arrest the slide if the inexperienced bowling line-up learns from its mistakes.
“If they learn from their mistakes they will stop it, yes,” Shastri told reporters when asked if the bowling attack is good enough to prevent a whitewash.
Shastri though was critical of the inconsistent bowling attack in the last three games. “They will be disappointed, there is no doubt about that because to win a game one or two bowlers can’t do the job. You need to bowl as a unit. The reason why we did well at the World Cup last year was we had all the five bowlers firing.
“So when that happens then you have a chance of beating the best side in the world. But there are no excuses for bowling wides, so obviously they will be disappointed and they have to put their best foot forward,” said Shastri.
