Former Australian captain and coach Bobby Simpson today suggested star batsman Sachin Tendulkar watch the ball a little more closer to solve the batting woes that have bogged him down once again on the current tour."To me he looks a player who could be watching the ball a little more closer," said Simpson on the sidelines of the team's practice session in Sydney today. India will take on Australia in a do-or-die second final in the triseries at the SCG tomorrow. They lost the first of three finals by seven wickets at Melbourne yesterday. "Sachin is going through one of those patches which happen because you play so much of cricket and you would have your good and bad days. "That is an easy habit to get into," he said. Tendulkar extended his form of the Sydney Test, in which he hit his career best 241 not out, into the one-dayers with scores of 63, 44 and 86 early on. But since returning from a mini-break when he was rested for three matches, he had failed to post a double-digit score. Simpson was one more voice of assistance sought by the Indians on a tour where men as different as Sandy Gordon, Bruce Reid, Ian Healy, Wasim Akram and Dean Jones have pro-offered technical help. Simpson, architect of Australia's rise as the cricket superpower since the 1990s, came over to the nets and offered extensive advices to Parthiv Patel, Sanjay Bangar, Hemang Badani and Amit Bhandari. in-depth coverage > India in Australia 2003-04 > |
