Former captain Allan Border has advised southpaw Travis Head to improve his technique against spinners if he wants to replicate Matthew Hayden`s success when Australia tour India for four-Test series next year. Head was named as the `Player of the Series` during the last Ashes but his form drastically dipped in sub-continental conditions (against Pakistan and Sri Lanka) where he managed to aggregate only 91 runs with the highest score of 26.
"He`s (Head) got to sit down and work out a method better than it`s going at the moment, that`s for sure," Border was quoted as saying in cricket.com.au. Border said that he has spoken to Head about batting on wickets which are spinning. "I have talked to him (Head) a little bit about batting on spinning wickets. He`s got to learn how to sweep and sweep well. And he`s got to use his feet, people don`t seem to be prepared to go down the track and defend, even," added Border, who has 11,174 Test runs to his name.
