Bravo, Chanderpaul lift Windies to 336 for six in Adelaide test
Adelaide (Australia): New South Wales fast bowler Doug Bollinger will open the bowling for the Australians in the second Test against the West Indies at Adelaide Oval commencing here from Friday.West Indies middle order batsmen Dwayne Bravo and Shivnarine Chanderpaul steered their team to a respectable total on the opening day of the second Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval.
Australia won the Test after losing the previous two to fail in a home series for the first time in 17 years, but the swing and consistency of Hilfenhaus was preferred in South Africa and England.
Bollinger did not even make the Ashes squad following the return of Stuart Clark and Lee from injury but with Lee injured again, the 28-year-old''s recent irresistible form has earned him the nod ahead of Clark, 34.
"The things we all love about Doug are his energy and enthusiasm to want to bowl," Ponting said.
"He just loves bowling. He keeps things really simple, which was the beauty about him in India. When we had our backs to the wall, he came in off not a great deal of preparation and just charged in and bowled well," Ponting added.
