PITCH WILL MAKE INDIAN TEAM NERVOUS: JOHNSON

-

New Delhi, March 22: Former Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson feels that Indian team will be “nervous” considerin­g the pacer-friendly conditions of Dharamsala where Steve Smith and his boys should feel more confident.

“Dharamsala is an amazing ground and the only times I have seen it are with grass on (the pitch). So I think that’s why the Australian­s will probably be confident and India will be a little bit nervous. I think they’ve been overconfid­ent in this series and I think the scoreline shows that,” Johnson told Fox Sports.

The Aussie pace bowling great feels that Pune Test hero Steve O’Keefe may have to make way for Jackson Bird in seamerfrie­ndly conditions when the fourth Test gets underway from Saturday.

“I think we’re going to lose a spinner out of this Test match,” he said.
