Wasim Akram think Indian bowlers will find it difficult in Australia

NDTV: You know that the T20 was called the death of the bowlers, but what about the T10 now, every person looking like a waste of time?

Wasim Akram: T10 is a death for bowlers, I could never have imagined that anyone would score 183 out of 10 more than against the best bowlers in the world. Thank goodness, I have retired, but it's fun for the audience, especially for the youngest. If you want to globalize the game, it's the best way to go because people do not have the time now.

NDTV: What is now the most exhausting format of Cricket, Test Cricket or T10? ] WA: You see, the ultimate is the cricket test, that's where the biggest ones come from. The cricket test concerns statistics, consistency, people talk about Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, 100 centuries, 50 to 60 averages. In the T20, no one speaks of averages, who won yesterday? Ok A team won, a team B lost, who plays tomorrow? So you know it happens … for me, for any cricketer or cricket fan, the cricket test is the ultimate.

NDTV: Speaking of tests, India will face Australia in a big series called Down Under. Do you think this will be a bigger test for Indian drummers or Indian bowlers?

WA: I think Indian bowlers will die hard. For starters, there are two or three walk-in lots in Adelaide, Melbourne, these are no longer inflatable tracks. Brisbane will have a bit of a rebound. I think in Perth, they play in a new stadium, I do not know what kind of terrain they have there. I think every time India, Pakistan or teams from the subcontinent perform a tour in Australia, the drummers are struggling too, but now, with the battering runs, the Indian hitter is very consistent.

Virat Kohli is at the head of threshing and drumming. captain. It's the bowlers who worry me in Australia, their length, especially when the Kookaburra ages after 20-25, it's at that time that Australians are taking advantage of it.

NDTV: The unit that owns India, which would you think is the X factor of the series?

WA: I saw in Australia even (James) Anderson struggling, if you have 130-135 pace, the ball does not swing. The SG's balls swing and then flip over, Duke swaying in England all day long. But in Australia, if you do not have the pace, you will probably struggle. However, you never know. It's a new Australian side. It's not the same Australian side we've seen in the last 30 years … it's new … they're under pressure, they've just been hit by Pakistan here in the United Arab Emirates, and by South Africa in Australia, so India definitely have an advantage there.

NDTV: Speaking of pressure, do you think this Indian team behaves better than the old Indian teams because it has learned to handle the pressure?

WA: difficult to compare, impossible to compare from one era to the next. India has produced so many great cricketers over the years and I have played against all of them. So difficult to compare, but it will be a big test for them.

NDTV: Do you think this will also define Virat Kohli's captaincy?

WA: Yeah, he has the best chance, the inexperienced young Australian club, goes to the maximum and, of course, if they get an early wicket, that's where the fight for the bowlers . I'm just worried for the bowlers of India and Pakistan when they go there (Australia), they are sometimes excited by the rebound on the grounds, especially in Brisbane. So, the idea is to do it right, but do not be short, because they will expect that.

NDTV: Virat Kohli and his team did not play against Pakistan. Do you think that they miss this clbadic rivalry and that as a result, they do not know the real pressure you have experienced during your play time?

WA: Yeah probably not, I mean play in neutral venues at unique Games of a day in ICC tournaments that you can not say. If they have an appropriate series, in Pakistan or India, both teams will know what the pressure is, on the field and off the field, especially with the media these days.

They talk about everything from time to time. the field because they have a job to do. In our time, there was only crowd pressure, you hardly know at home that the TV channel with live cricket is a news channel but it is now a any other game.

NDTV: In a few months, the ICC World Cup will take place. India has abandoned the MS Dhoni of the T20 team. Do you see him playing at the World Cup?

WA: Yes, I would love to see MS Dhoni compete in the 2019 World Cup because you need experience. On English pitches with two new balls, the Kookaburra does not swing as much, but you need experience.

NDTV: The World Cup has returned to the format & # 39; 92 you won, is the format good for teams?

WA: The 1992 format was entirely devoted to the best teams, the biggest team will win the World Cup and there will be more doubts because each team has to face all the world once against each other. Thus, the team that is consistent and the team that will reach a peak at the right time will raise the trophy.
