A captain must have faith in his bowlers for T20 cricket, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SM-Katich-c2543 - Cricket News Update
Out of favour Australian Test opener and captain of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 Blues (NSWB), Simon Katich, believes that a captain should have maximum confidence on his bowlers in the shortest format of the game, as even the best of them can turn out to be very
expensive.
Katich’s team is going to compete in the Champions League T20 in India and they are considered as one of the favourite teams of the competition because of the quality of players they possess.
The pitches and the conditions in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 are going to be extremely tough for the bowlers and it is widely expected that the tournament will be a high-scoring encounter. This is the reason why that Katich is prepared to give space to his bowlers and believes
that every bowler is going to be hit for boundaries, but as a captain, he would be satisfied if the bowlers give their best.
Katich said, “The nature of the format is that even the best in business could be taken for a few boundaries, but we have to understand that this happens in this format, and shouldn't get negative.”
The NSWB captain added that if a bowler goes for runs early in his spell, even then the captain must show confidence in him.
While talking about the bowling strength of his team, Katich is very optimistic about a good showing as he has some International stars like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-H-Clarke-c91461, Nathan Hauritz, Steven O’Keefe and Steven Smith.
“We shouldn't be too hard on the bowler, and should try and held them bounce back. We have a few quicks who can knock a few heads over in our side. We have good all-round and spin options. We have specialist spinners in Steven O'Keefe and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/NM-Hauritz-c2122,
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SPD-Smith-c2555 is another good option,” the NSWB captain added.
This is a great sign for the Blues because it is extremely imperative for a captain to have faith in his bowlers. The opposing batsmen are going to play their shots in T20 cricket and they have the advantage of flat batting tracks, if
a captain does not back his bowlers, then he is asking for trouble.
