Former South African cricketer-turned-commentator Ackerman says Indian batsmen must play on front foot to succeed here
It wasn't a special day just for India debutant Jaidev Unadkat yesterday. Hylton Deon Ackerman, who played just four Tests for South Africa, also made his debut in the commentary box for the local broadcasters of the ongoing three-Test series.
"Sehwag needs to change his approach if he needs to succeed in South Africa. It is important to get a feel of the conditions," Ackerman added.
The 37-year old recalled Sachin Tendulkar's blistering century at Newlands, Cape Town during India'su00a0 1996-97 tour, and hailed it as one of the best knocks in the country: "Tendulkar's record here is not the greatest, but I clearly remember his century at Newlands. It was easily one of the best knocks I have ever seen in my life.
India's batting-order is outstanding, but need to play a lot more on the front foot if they want to succeed. This bowling attack of Dale Steyn and Morkel is the best we have since Allan Donald and Shaun Pollock," he concluded.
