'Indian players will be the difference'

Gaurav Kalra: But they say it's going to be the death of bowling, or at least it's going to affect the way youngsters think about cricket. Why should I be a bowler when everyone is going after me and there is no reason for me to be a bowler. The sexy bit of this cricket is batting.

Dennis Lillee: Doesn't history repeat itself? I heard them talking about this 30-odd years ago when One-day cricket came in, and they said it will be the death of the bowlers. But he (pointing to McGrath) didn't do too bad, did he?

Good bowlers will adapt to any sort of cricket and we can go at 10-10 if you like. A good bowler will adapt. Certainly, it's more in favour of the batsmen, no doubt about that. But a good bowler will find a way.

Glenn McGrath: It's a batsman's game. I think we have the batsmen running the game as well. But you have a plan for Test cricket, you have a plan for One-day cricket. The guys have to think up a plan for Twenty20. In Test cricket you try to go under two runs an over, for me in One-day cricket I always tried to keep it four runs or less an over.

Obviously, here you have to take that again, so whether you say 'okay, if I can keep it to under seven or eight runs an over, then I have done my job.' So, it's a different mindset.
