Alex Hales backs Jonny Bairstow to come good in the remainder of the World T20 – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012 against West Indies at Pallekele, and backs the right-hander to do well in the remainder
of the tournament.
Chasing a massive total of 179 runs set by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749’s chances big time.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867, who looked completely off-colour, managing merely 18 runs off 29 balls
with the help of two boundaries.
On the other hand, coming in to bat at five, Morgan played a fantastic innings, remaining unbeaten on a 36-ball 71, which included four boundaries and five huge hits over the ropes.
A number of experts believe that the Ireland-born batsman would have changed the match’s complexion, if he was sent in to bat earlier.
Hales, who also scored a spirited half-century, expressed that the captain and the coach had immense confidence on Bairstow but he failed to get going.
"Hindsight is a great thing. We felt if Jonny could have got going, he could really be a game-winner. But unfortunately it didn't quite happen for him this time. I'm sure he'll bounce back," he believes.
While defending the batting order, the opening batsman added that the management wanted http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Morgan-c77707 to control the innings in the middle-overs, instead of exposing their most senior batsman to the new ball.
"We felt that Morgs' skills in the middle were more valuable to us, so we decided to push him down and save him for the middle overs. It wasn't necessarily too early for him, we just thought his skills in the middle were essential for us."
The Poms fell short by 15 runs and will have to win their next two matches, against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, in order to qualify for the semis.
