IND vs ENG: Swann wants Leach to be boring against India, doesn't expect similar consistency from Bess

India TV News  

Graeme Swann, the architect of England's famous series win in India in 2012, wants left-arm spinner Jack Leach to bowl a "boring" line and length to be successful in the four Tests against Virat Kohli's team. "That's the blueprint for Leach: run up, put it on the spot, be metronomic, and be almost deadly boring in the way he operates in India," Swann, who was the leading wicket taker in India's last series defeat at home, was quoted as saying by 'ESPNcricinfo'. "India's batsmen will respect a good ball, and he doesn't bowl very many bad ones. "I saw Mo say he's hungry to play after 18 months away and if he's fit and going well, I would prefer the shape he gets when he drifts it away and gets dip to Bess' shape which drifts in, because he doesn't finish his action off all the time."
