Indian batsmen are a "scared species", making them an easy prey for
the Australian pace battery in the upcoming ODI series, feel former Aussie bowlers
Ray Bright and Rodney Hogg.
Former pacer Hogg and Bright -- a left-arm spinner of the 70's -- felt the Indians
would not get much of a home advantage in the seven-match series starting September
29.
"Well I say, Good Luck. Which they (India) would need," Hogg was
quoted as saying by 'Neo Sports'.
"Unfortunately India tends to play Bangladesh
a lot, so they tend to stretch up cricket" said Bright as he took pot shot
at the Indian line-up.
Hogg described the Indian batsmen as "arrogant" and
said they were scared of facing pacers.
"Couple of Indian batsmen are scared species, might be
slightly arrogant and certainly there is no way to hide when people like Clark
are going to go to India. With their pace there's nowhere to hide," he
said.
Former Australian batsman Gary Cosier echoed a similar view and said
Indians would buckle under pressure when faced with an accurate attack.
"Australia's bowlers and fieldsmen have impacts and they
tend to put so much pressure on these very, very good players that the result
is not very good at the end of the game," Cosier said.
