Ahmedabad: Australian pacer Ben Cutting says most pitches in India are conducive for bowling the odd bouncers, which can make life difficult for the batsman.
One of his biggest strengths is the ability to get sharp bounce at a good pace. Asked if it gets difficult when bowling in conditions that negate his strengths, Cutting responded in positive.
“It can, sometimes. But in saying that, most wickets in India are actually conducive to the odd bouncer. A little bit more grass on this wicket and we could get the odd one to rise. Sometimes, when you bowl short on these sorts of wickets, it can actually be harder to play than it is on a true wicket, where the batsman can use your pace,” he was quoted as saying in IPL’s official website.
He said he has picked up a few tips from fellow countryman James Faulkner before making his IPL debut in his team Rajasthan Royals’ big win over Delhi Daredevils here.
“He’s been here for a while now, has played a few IPL games and done very well. So, it makes sense for me to pick his brains when it comes to bowling on these pitches in the end overs,” Cutting said after an eventful first match that saw him return figures of 1-31 in four overs. (PTI)
