South Africa skipper has utmost respect for India바카라s talent pool and he believed that the pacer who replaces injured Mohammed Shami can put home batters under pressure in Tests.(Cricket News | Full Coverage)
Shami, India바카라s craftiest pacer in recent times, has sustained a heel injury and has been ruled out of the two-match Test series starting Tuesday. One among rookie Prasidh Krishna or one-Test old Mukesh Kumar is expected to replace Shami in the playing eleven.
바카라As cricketers you want to come up against the best and is one of the best going around and most of us would be looking forward to coming up against him.
But India being India, and with the depth that they have, you have to trust that whoever comes in will also put you under pressure,바카라 Bavuma replied to a query from PTI during the media conference on Sunday.
The Proteas skipper sounded hopeful that his team has a better chance to adapt under overcast conditions with rain threatening to play spoilsport on Day 1.
바카라Being home conditions, we understand the advantage our side has, you will expect us to adapt a lot better and Indian bowling attack is quite a strong one and obviously Shami is not there but it바카라s still a strong one. The fact that they have been able to achieve so much success in Tests over the past 5-10 years period is because of that bowling attack,바카라 he lavished praise.
South African men바카라s cricket team has remained unbeaten for 31 years on home soil and Bavuma is keen to keep that record intact.
He understands that playing India comes with its own set of challenges. 바카라We understand playing (against) India comes with challenges as there are more eyeballs involved.바카라
South Africa recently played an attractive brand of ODI cricket during the World Cup. But according to Bavuma, with youngsters in the side, SA are still figuring out their signature brand of cricket.
But one thing is non-negotiable for the skipper 바카라 it has to be a winning brand of cricket. 바카라In terms of brand, there has definitely been talk about it, not just now but also during the West Indies series. We are still trying to see how it looks like.
Looking at the Test team, it바카라s still in a discovery phase and still evolving as you see a lot more new faces, we are still trying to see what the final product will look like,바카라 he said.
He did not want to put pressure on his team to play any particular brand of cricket.
바카라I don바카라t think there is any extra pressure on players to get a lot more eyes on Test cricket and the objective will be to play a winning brand of cricket. That바카라s what we will try to do.바카라
