Melbourne, Dec 9: Newly appointed Australia women’s team captain Alyssa Healy has dared Indian team management to prepare rank turners during their upcoming tour of the country, “at your own peril” as the visitors too boast of a potent slow bowling attack.
Healy was officially named as Australia full-time skipper across formats on Saturday following Meg Lanning’s shock retirement last month.
She said that India would risk themselves by opting for tracks that offer turn as the Australian spinners are on par with their sub-continental counterparts.
“I’m actually really intrigued to see as to what sort of wickets they prepare. I think we’ve got a really, really good spin attack. So do that at your own peril. Don’t get me wrong, the Indians have got a strong spin attack as well,” Healy was quoted as saying by ‘Sydney Morning Herald’.“But I mean, we’ve got some of the best leg-spinners in the world. We’ve got Ash Gardener, who took nine wickets on English soil with the ball in hand. So yeah, prepare spinning wickets at your own peril.“It will be interesting to see if they make it nice and flat. But I haven’t played at Wankhede (Stadium) since the IPL exhibition game a couple of years ago, so I’m excited for that experience,” she added. (PTI)
