Flat wickets adding pressure on bowlers: Warner

Published on: 

Hit all over the park in the series so far, the struggling Indian bowlers  have the sympathy of marauding Australian opener David Warner, who feels the the bowlers’ job has become tough due to flat wickets produced for one-day cricket these days.

“In any kind of cricket, all you want is early wickets. I think One-day cricket now is being played along the lines of Test cricket in the first 10 overs, then they will look to accelerate in the middle part and obviously look to finish it off. It’s quite challenging for the opening bowlers,” Warner said.

“They’ve got to bowl good lines and lengths. Given, flat wickets around world in ODI cricket, you just got to dry runs up and create pressure. It’s very hard when  ball does not swing. It’s getting tougher for the bowling unit, but as a batting department, it’s fantastic for us if we can keep playing the way we play,” he said.
