Indian spinners will have a tough fourth day in office with the pitch getting slower, thereby making batting way easier, admitted assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate after the end of third day’s play in the third Test against the West Indies here on Sunday.
“We thought the wicket was going to keep deteriorating and by close of play it would be at its worst. It just seems to have slowed down even more. It’s quite challenging to get any pace up,” Ten Doeschate said at the end of the day’s play.
In fact, he corroborated what Ravindra Jadeja had said at the end of second day that spinners will have to use more shoulder to get bounce and zip off the surface.
However, Ten Doeschate feels that it is double edged sword which can at times prove to be counter-productive. “Like I said, you have to really fire the ball in. Of course, when you fire the ball in, it’s got less chance of spinning. So, we have had a tricky afternoon,” the Dutchman said.
“Obviously, monitoring speed is probably the one thing you can play with. You saw every time Washy [Washington] bowled a little bit slower, you get a little bit more turn. Obviously, the batter has a bit more time. So, it’s striking the batter and using the changes in pace to get a mistake out of the batter,” he tried to explain what is doable in this kind of a situation.
