Australian quick Stuart Clark said his team had done adequate homework
on how to decimate the Indian batting line-up and the result was there before
all to see.
"Most of the guys have those PSPs, the portable Play-stations, but I take
my laptop with me everywhere we go.
"We can get pretty much anything we want: each batsman's
scoring shots, strengths and weaknesses," said Clark, who claimed four
wickets to help his team fold India for 196.
"We can even get things like the way they bat leading into dismissals,
and how they are when they first come to the crease. It's as much a part of
preparing for a Test as training and practice," he was quoted as saying
in 'The Age' today.
Clark removed Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar,
Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni to take the life out of
Indian innings.
Even Tendulkar's dismissal was a well thought-out ploy, claimed
the bowler.
"We were going to bowl straight, or set him up to bowl straight. He chopped
it on, and that was one of the modes of dismissal, but more so we were going
to have a go at his pads because the ball was reversing in a little bit,"
he had said after his laudable effort in the first innings.
