As a bowling group, you have to have good communication. It will be Bumrah’s responsibility to bring out the best in every individual. The ideal start for the team is to create that environment in the first Test itself, which will set the momentum for the series.
A huge advantage and boost. Bumrah is a match-winner. He’s an exceptional bowler with X Factor; he is one of the top bowlers in the current era.
So there is going to be responsibility on him. There is going to be pressure on him. For a bowler, it’s fascinating because you can use the extra bounce, which differs from the subcontinent conditions.
You have to figure out the proper length. As a bowler, you can get excited and bowl shorter than required. If you don’t get your length right, you can also go for runs because the pace and bounce help the batter.
It's just about being up for the fight. I've always believed it doesn't have to be strong words. It should be smart words.
That's the way I looked at it. It's always about getting in the head of batters and also understanding how you can play to your advantage. Your emotions shouldn't get to you.
It's about ensuring you stay within the line and playing the game to its full potential. They are playing a practice game. Simulation is what I heard.
It's about getting used to the conditions. That factor of extra bounce will require all the batters to adapt, and the bowlers will have to get their lengths right. The earlier, the better.
Just the natural three-quarter.
