http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-Barath-c886 geared up to do well in England – Cricket News Update
Adrian Barath, the young opening batsman of West Indies is geared up to perform well in the upcoming Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and said that the presence of Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the dressing room is a great opportunity for the youngsters to learn
the trait.
Cricket in Caribbean has gone through a massive decline in the last two decades. However, the Islanders have shown signs of improvements since the last one year with the emergence of some brilliant young players.
Barath is considered to be one of the most talented batsmen in the Caribbean but the right-hander has so far disappointed his admirers. The 22-year-old batsman from Trinidad and Tobago made his Test debut in 2009 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 and scored a magnificent
hundred on debut. However, it remains the only Test century of his career till date.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221 and Dwayne
Bravo are not available for the Test series, youngsters like Barath will have to raise their game to counter the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465.
English conditions usually help the swing bowlers and Barath feel that he will have to let the ball come on to the bat to counter the swing. Barath understands that he has the talent to perform better in future and wants to make amends in near future.
Barath said, "I'm working on playing the ball a bit later (in English conditions), leaving a lot more balls. It's about learning fast, and I have a lot of responsibility. Over the past year or so, I haven't really had the sort of performances I'd like, but
I'm going to have to put that behind me.”
The right-handed batsman also praised the recent performances of Chanderpaul in the longer version of the sport.
"It's all about learning from my mistakes in the past, and building from it, and learning from team-mates like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390 about these conditions. He's played a lot of cricket here, scored a lot of runs and has a lot to offer," he added.
