3rd Test: Bowlers Have To Work On Leaking Runs Between 50-80 Overs, Admits Morkel
Morne Morkel: India bowling coach Morne Morkel admitted that work has to be put in to improve on bowlers leaking runs when the ball is old from 50-80 overs. In day two’s play at the Gabba, Travis Head and Steve Smith smashed centuries by feasting on Indian bowlers as Australia made 405/7 in 101 overs.
“First of all, we can say he's in pretty good form, guys playing like in that fashion, back-to-back innings, we can only give him a lot of credit. But for us with the ball, if you look at it from overs 50 to 80, even in the last game, at the moment it's where we sort of fall short, leaking a little bit. So that's one area I think we need to get better at.”
“First up with the ball this morning, we were pretty good, at 3 for 70, but took nothing away from two world-class players. Steve Smith, we know, is a guy that can bat big and score runs, and they put a partnership and put us under pressure with a softer older ball.”
