Cricket: Discipline key in India says Bresnan

HYDERABAD:

England will need to put in a disciplined bowling performance on India’s low, slow pitches to overcome the hosts in the One-Day International (ODI) series, according to fast-bowler Tim Bresnan. England thrashed India in both Test and ODI series at home recently, but Bresnan said bowling in India was a huge challenge.

“It is obviously different bowling in England than in India,” he said. “With pitches playing different in India, I view it as a challenge. We have to bowl very tightly with the new ball. We have to bowl very accurately and very straight. Otherwise, you’ll be hit for runs.” The five-match series starts from October 14 in Hyderabad.
