Bowling Will be India's Weak Link: Warne

Brisbane, Dec 20 (IANS) Australia's spin legend Shane Warne feels that bowling will be India's weak link in the four-Test series starting in Melbourne on Boxing Day.

Warne said injuries to frontline pacers Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma will doom India.

"England just beat them four-nil. They have got some wonderful batting and all that sort of stuff but I think their bowling is a bit weak," Warne was quoted as saying by Herald Sun.

"And if Zaheer Khan or Ishant Sharma goes down with injury then it should be a good time for the Australian batters," he said. Warne said the packed international schedule was to blame for many injuries.

"The bottom line is that they have to play too much cricket - there is too much expected of an international cricketer. And we are playing two Test series to cram everything in. It is ridiculous. To me that is not right. Let the players recover, so they can be the best players they can be," he said.

    Yes, India has a strong batting line up, but when it comes to the bowling, I tend to agree with Shane Warne, that Indian side is somewhat vulnerable, especially that now more experienced bowlers like Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma are injured and not on top form, and the other two fast bowlers are inexperienced. However, who knows, we both could be wrong. Wishing the Indian team best of luck, especially Sachin Tendulkar who is striving to reach his 100th century in the forthcoming test in Melbourne.
