After all the controversy and criticism about India reaching the finals, Australia's pacer Josh Hazlewood said something nice, he expects a good cricketing pitch at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium for the title clash against India.
Hazlewood opened up on the beauty of playing cricket in diverse lands, from the north to the south, east, and west, each differing in terms of cricketing conditions. He highlighted the uniqueness of adapting a player's bowling and batting techniques to meet the peculiar circumstances of each ground, using the recent match as an example where the ball spun unusually, and for the Australians, it moved around quite a lot in the initial overs.
"I guess that's the beauty of having so many grounds in one country that - from north to south, east to west – they're all a little bit different. You adapt your bowling, adapt your batting to those conditions and we saw tonight it really spun and for us it nipped around early," Hazlewood was quoted as saying by Cricket.com.au.
Drawing upon his recent experience, Hazlewood referred to the match against England at Ahmedabad. The wicket there was challenging but not overly so, flaunting an acceptable level of spice rather than being an entirely flat track. The Australian bowler is looking forward to a similar remarkable experience in the matches that ensue and believes that his team is ready for any challenge that comes their way.
