NAGPUR, Feb 5 (PTI): Hashim Amla, the lone player of Indian origin in the touring South African squad, feels the biggest challenge thats awaits him in the Test series against India starting here tomorrow will be to tackle the reverse swing and turning ball.
"In South Africa where it (wicket) does favour the seam bowlers a lot more there's more tendency of losing a wicket early on than in the subcontinent. When we played in Chennai (venue of first Test in 2008) I came in to bat quite late after the openers had done a good job.
"I think these days in the subcontinent you will be coming in a bit later to bat when the ball is reverse swinging. To adjust to that is a challenge and it is something I'm looking forward to," the 26-year-old Durban-born Amla told reporters here.
