'I reaped benefits of good prep'
Friday, December 28, 2007 12:22 [IST]

Melbourne: Australian quick Stuart Clark said his team had done adequate homework on how to decimate the Indian batting line-up and the result was there before all to see.

"Most of the guys have those PSPs, the portable Play-stations, but I take my laptop with me everywhere we go.
   
"We can get pretty much anything we want: each batsman's scoring shots, strengths and weaknesses," said Clark, who claimed four wickets to help his team fold India for 196.
   
"We can even get things like the way they bat leading into dismissals, and how they are when they first come to the crease. It's as much a part of preparing for a Test as training and practice," he was quoted as saying in 'The Age' on Friday.
  
Clark removed Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni to take the life out of Indian innings.
   
Even Tendulkar's dismissal was a well thought-out ploy, claimed the bowler.
   
"We were going to bowl straight, or set him up to bowl straight. He chopped it on, and that was one of the modes of dismissal, but more so we were going to have a go at his pads because the ball was reversing in a little bit," he had said after his laudable effort in the first innings.
