Top order weakest link : Geoff Marsh




The Pune coach, Geoff Marsh continues to be concerned about their top order and said that it is their weakest link. Pune is waiting for the return of G Smith and Paine.

"The top order is our weakest link. Our bowlers are not getting enough runs to bowl at. You want to score runs and you have to be smart at it. You cant hit the ball to the fielders all the time".

"We lost a lot of wickets early. With a poor start like this, you put a lot of pressure on the middle order" he said.

Meanwhile, Bollinger has said that CSK is confident of S F spot. KKR is also confident of SF spot, says Dave Whatmore, the KKR coach.

Today KKR is pitted against DD and the odds are DD 1/1 and KKR 4/5.

It does have an impact". Kohli admitted that he learnt from mistakes and when he realised that he cannot play for India like the way he did when at 17, he became a professional.

Meanwhile, in the WI, the Pak spinners devastated WI batting with the result Holding, the fast bowling legend questioning the legitimacy of the Doosra. Doosra is illegal and should be banned, says the demon fast bowling legend.

Duncan Fletcher, the new Indian coach, is a professional. Said Eric Simmons, India's bowling coach " I enjoyed working with Gary and I am looking forward to working with Duncan". John Buchanan, the ex Aussie coach said "He is the right man to guide India in the phase they are about to enter".

Fletcher steered England to Ashes victory Down Under, for the first time since 1986-87. The 62 year old is also credited with turning England's fortunes around in Tests, during his 8 year stint. He is said to be task master and Indian cricket may be graced by his presence.
