Sydney : Australia fast bowler Ryan Harris has joined teammate Mitchell Johnson in criticising the slow and low nature of pitches in the ongoing Test series against India, saying the pacers have had to work much harder than the last Ashes summer to get the batsmen out.
“I don’t think the wickets have been as fast and bouncy. Obviously we have got results in two of the Test matches. But again as a bowling group we are always going to say we want a bit more bounce and grass. That goes without saying,” Harris said.
“That is what we (pace and bounce) had last year and that is where Johnson excelled. Going on last year (Johnson) was able to do that because of obviously what Peter Siddle and I were doing but also the pace in the wickets. But not having that there is probably a little frustrating.
“In saying that we have had two results and nearly got a result in Melbourne. It is hard to fully criticise the wickets but I must admit it has been a lot harder than it was last year. But we go to India and get absolute shockers over there so it would be nice to get some green tops over here,” said the burly speedster.
