handling Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne, it's just baffling. What do you do then? I think part of the truculence that Ponting displayed in that period was a sense of disorientation. Why can't bowlers do what they have been used to doing for years? Bowling used to look so easy. JK: Yeah, definitely. Have you got any amazing insights for us for Adelaide? What are you expecting? Tahir has to play, doesn't he? GH: Definitely, Tahir has to play. Tahir worries me a little bit. l know you are a big fan. He does seem to bowl his overs in a terrible hurry. He does seem terribly, terribly excited as he's bowling. With the short squares boundaries at Adelaide, he could go for a lot of runs. That's one of the reasons why I would have liked to have seen him play at Brisbane. It is a more forgiving ground for a spinner. JK: He can start very bad. He needs to find a rhythm. Sometimes, it can be hard for him to get into it. Once he gets into a rhythm, he doesn't get scored off that much. Of all the bowlers I've seen in the world, he's probably the most in love with his own bowling which is actually something I like. GH: Yeah, but these days in international cricket, there is a tendency to want to attack every spinner as soon as they come on. I have no doubt that that's the tactic that Australia will pursue
