The question arises with a score of disbelief, as if the real question is: "How can observe us such a useless bunch of bowling?


But the truth is that take the antithesis of 20 machines was always a difficult undertaking. And to visit the bowling, unused for the Australia lots of tungsten and drummers inflexible, it is almost impossible. In 59 home testing for the last decade, the Australians were overthrown twice only eight times.


If there is an expert in this field, it must be Mickey Arthur, the coach who led South Africa a victory in the series highlights here there are two winters. He warned in England there was no shortcuts to success. How to overcome the batsman is not frontal attack, but stealth ambush.


"As a unit of bowling, consistent manner only to succeed in Australia is to build pressure", Arthur said Telegraph Sport. "Do not fall into the trap of trying to Bowl bullet catch window, because they will only go for runs." And this is truer in Adelaide, because the lawn has normally begins this dish.


"In Adelaide, it feels like you play one under test." The game often starts as a battle of patience for three days, as both teams accumulate dozens of more than 350. You have to hang difficult. When the rotors come then, things faster. »


Arthur left South Africa in January after their series drawn against England and took the Australia coach since a job. But when looking to the point of his time with Graeme Smith - win series 2-1 January 2008 - it is said not so 18 machines claimed by Dale Steyn as scrutiny from the rest of the attack approaches.


"Yes, Dale was a great series, but we earn the right to attack at the end by containing the other, said Arthur." Dreary Morkel contained pretty much on this tour, and Paul Harris was superb.


"People sous-spleen Harris, but he knew that his role and it performed perfectly." It will play on the ego of the Australian drummers to smart fields with mid - on and off mid repulsed. He kept get [Andrew] Symonds and [Michael] Clarke captured in the depths where they tried to hit the ground. »


They were the first side visit to win a Australia series for 16 years. And if England is to follow, Arthur said Graeme Swann is the key man. "If he bowls of overs then England can turn the other end, seamers i.e. when they are more dangerous," said Arthur. "This is why Australians worked so hard to get after him in Brisbane.". How Swann replies will go very far into the series to decide. »

Mickey Arthur suggests taking 20 wickets in the rest of the reasons in this series:


"" The WACA (Third test, from 16 to 20 December): so far this season our Perth grounds have rhythm and rebound, so the best option Bowl in the corridor and are looking for on board, as Peter Siddle in Brisbane.


"" CWM(Fourth test, from 26 to 30 December): the drop-in wickets bounce, so you straight Bowl atop of offshore strain. The ball will be attacking the surface - albeit slowly - and you can pick up lbws here.


"" BTC (Fifth test, Jan 3-7): this was an atypical in that the ball has been around mobile and sides have been posting year low scores. Normally this pattern promotes the tops - Swann could come into their own here.
