Melbourne: The India pace bowlers’ focus was to bowl dot balls and maiden overs and complement the spinners, said Mohammed Siraj after Umesh Yadav limped off the field early in Australia’s second innings depleting the team’s bowling on the third day of the second Test. “We were discussing in the team, with Jassi bhai too. We are two fast bowlers, the spinners are doing a good job. Our (the two fast bowlers’) focus was to bowl dot balls and maidens. The wicket also didn’t offer much help. So we were focusing on bowling the dot balls,” said Siraj after the end of the third day’s play. The 26-year-old bowler is making his Test debut.
