  1. Rohit Sharma will Struggle against Swing, Predicts Scott Styris India’s swashbuckling opener Rohit Sharma will struggle in the inaugural World Test Championship final against New Zealand, believes former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris. The much-awaited summit clash will commence on Friday in Southampton and if New Zealand bowlers are able to move the ball around then Sharma will face a lot of trouble as well. “It is pitch-dependent. I can’t stress that enough. I think if the ball is moving around then Rohit will have his struggles. We have done demonstrations after demonstrations (in the studio) about how Rohit doesn’t really move his feet a lot early in his innings. If that is the case, then the swinging ball could be a problem for him," said Styris on Star Sports. The veteran also explained the New Zealand pace bowling strategy where he claimed that their pace unit comprising Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Kyle Jamieson/Colin de Grandhomme will bowl till the 22nd or 28th over before Neil Wagner will show his class with the old ball.

  2. “There is no secret to New Zealand’s fast bowling plan if you like and that is Southee, Boult and either Jamieson or de Grandhomme will be the third seamer and they bowled till about the 22nd to 28th over with a new ball. And then Neil Wagner comes into the equation. So when you talk about Wagner, it is his ability to be aggressive and be a genuine wicket-taking option for somebody like Kohli in those middle- overs till the new ball comes around," said Styris. However, Team India too has a strong squad – be it batting or bowling. And, former India player Venkatesh Prasad recently said that they have covered all the bases to take on the No. 1 Test team as New Zealand has recently toppled India to be in the top after their convincing series win by 1-0 against the host, England.
