Chris Tremain impressed with Indian batting prospects

Chris Tremain has been impressed with India's batting prospects as he stated that he enjoys the way they approach the game. Despite losing to India B in the quadrangular series by nine wickets, Tremain feels the whole event has given them observational benefits to apply in the future endeavors.

In the last few years, Australia, South Africa, and India have been playing frequent A series tours. The prime motive of such an arrangement is to provide the teams with a lot of experience, so as to develop and grow to suit the needs of the national team. The move also helped the Indians big-time as it helped them bridge the gap between international and domestic cricket.

“I enjoy looking at how they approach their game and looking for a way we can adapt when we play against them. I don't think it's as easy as looking at the one game and having a day off and trying to replicate it a day later, it's have a little reconnaissance mission this tour and take back all this information about how they play their game,” Tremain told SEN Radio.

“And then next time we come over, we've got a good couple of months of preparing and adapting our game to mirror what they can do,” he said.

In the finals of quadrangular series, the last six wickets of the Australia A team fell for 33 runs and the whole team was bowled out for 225. On the other hand, an unbeaten 73 was made by India B skipper, Manish Pandey, while Shubhman Gill made an unbeaten 66. Tremain appreciated Gill’s performance highly.

“They have so much talent over here that you can't fit it all into the one XI. It is a little bit of an eye-opener to see they do have such great options, especially the young guys, and especially in white-ball cricket,” he said.

“These kids, from ages 13, 14 are growing up with T20 cricket and a lot of white-ball cricket. Their tactics and the way they play their game is really superior to a lot of countries around the world, because they play so much,” Tremain added.

Jack Wildermuth, Marnus Labuschagne, and Alex Carey were some of the Australian talents that came up during this event, while Travis Head, Matt Renshaw, and Usman Khawaja made significant contributions in the game. For bowlers, Billy Stanlake, it was a learning experience and in the finals, Stanlake had to regret a no-ball which took an early Australian wicket.

“An unbelievable catch … But I did bowl a no-ball and ruined it for him unfortunately. Jack's a pretty exciting prospect, we've seen what he can do at training. So for him to go out there and do it in a tough situation at the international level, it was very exciting to see,” Stanlake told cricket.com.au.

“I never normally bowl no balls, that's why I was so surprised when the umpire said he was checking, I've normally got a lot of room. It was disappointing because it was such a great catch and it would have been handy to get that early wicket,” he added.
