It’s been learnt that Ishant Sharma could force the batsman to play the ball on the 5th day of the Edgbaston test. The plan until then is to muddle the batsman’s mind with a shrewd mix of wide outside-off and way outside leg bowling. In a nutshell, Ishant intends to play the waiting game.
The erstwhile conqueror of Ponting plans to bowl in the extended-corridor of uncertainty (keeping 3rd slip and gully honest) and only gradually move his probing line closer to the stumps.
“Look at my figures, I am the cheapest bowler today – 7 overs for just 16 runs, I want to make The Zaks proud…he once sang to me, you’re still young, it’s not your fault” explained Ishant as he gathered his goodies from the Riot! Sale.
In the absence of Zaheer Khan, Ishant could also attempt copying the injured bowler’s action, yet again. Last seen Ishant was looking for a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile Sachin Tendulkar, who is still enjoying the game, has postponed plans of scoring his 100th 100 until the 4th Test to put the team's interest ahead of personal milestones.
