 Leicester,
August 3: Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been finding the wobbly Duke
ball tough to negotiate from behind the stumps and has sought
the advice of former players, including India's legendary Farokh
Engineer.
"I have never seen the ball swing so much.
It's not just me, most of the players feel the same way. Even
our bowlers have acknowledged that the Duke ball has been
swinging a lot, beyond their own expectations," Dhoni said.
"However, it's not the swing but the wobble
that has been testing wicketkeepers with their reflexes and
athletic brilliance." Dhoni and the Indian team support staff
have been consulting veteran wicketkeepers to help improve his
glovework.
"I spoke to Farokh Engineer and some former
players and they've told me to concentrate hard on my job and
not to worry too much," Dhoni said.
"Wicketkeepers do have problems when the
conditions are too difficult. Even Matt Prior (England
wicketkeeper) has had to keep diving around all day and he too
hasn't looked great." (Agencies)
