Hailing India's 'quality spin bowling' as the difference between the two sides, Australian captain Ricky Ponting reckoned this is the best he has seen Piyush Chawla bowl. Chawla, who took 4-31, to inspire India to an unexpected 38-run win last night, sent down big gogglies without fear, varied his pace, and precisely bowled to fields given to him by his skipper.
Initially, the ball was coming on nicely when seamers bowled. "But, when we got a few wickets, and the ball started turning a lot, it became really tough for batsmen. I sincerely believe we'll get better wickets as the event progresses.u00a0 This was almost an ideal Test wicket, with the ball turning immediately. I am not saying it's a bad wicket, but it's more suitable to the longer format," he said.
India's next warm-up tie: Against NZ in Chennai on Wednesday.
