India v Australia: O'Keefe needs to adapt in Bengaluru for a repeat show, says Sriram

Stephen O'Keefe will be sending shivers down the spine of the Indian batsmen when they take the field in Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 4 for the second Test.
With India chasing the series 0-1 and the psychological advantage already wrested by the Australians thanks to the left-arm spin of unheralded O'Keefe, the focus has shifted to the 22-yards strip.
Will it be bone dry with the top soil cracking after having denied water for a week, or the curators, and their bosses, will offer something more playable?
Australia's spin consultant Sridharan Sriram feels that the pitch will not be as helpful as the one in Pune, according to the Cricket Australia website.
An elated O'Keefe had said that he wished he could carry the Pune pitch with him, after winning the man of the match award in Bangalore.
Stephen O'Keefe was India's destroyer in Pune.
Sriram tells Cricket Australia that if recent history is anything to go by, then don't expect spin bowling to dominate the second Test in Bengaluru like it so spectacularly did in Pune, where 30 of the 40 wickets were captured by spinners. "He's got to adapt, hasn't he?" Sriram said when asked if O'Keefe can have the same affect in Bengaluru - formerly known as Bangalore - if a flatter pitch is rolled out.
