Asian teams will have an advantage in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2012, feels Scott Styris – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SB-Styris-c2463, the former New Zealand all-rounder, feels that the Asian teams will have an advantage in the forthcoming ICC World T20 2012 because of the conditions in Sri Lanka and is disappointed with the Blacks Caps’ performance
in international cricket recently.
The mega event is going to commence from September 18th at Hambantota, with the opening fixture between the home team and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045.
New Zealand has always been a fighting unit at the global arena but they have generally struggled to compete over the last couple of years, although they qualified for the semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
Styris, while talking to Pakpassion, expressed that the young Kiwi side will become formidable as the players gain experience with the passage of time. The all-rounder maintains that the Black Caps possess a lot of talent
but it will be hard for them to challenge the stronger teams on tracks that are different than those back home.
The Australia-born cricketer does not see the Kiwis beating the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 and Sri Lanka in the illustrious event.
"The team has been struggling of late. The skills are there but it’s a very young team," said Styris. "They are the best players that New Zealand can offer and ordinarily, they would have done well in the T20 World Cup but given that
the tournament is to be played in Asia, I think they will struggle to go past the likes of Pakistan, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 and India who will be much more comfortable in these conditions."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 and company miserably failed to make an impression in the recently concluded tour of the Caribbean, losing in all three formats. In on-going tour of India, New Zealand have already lost the first Test by a massive margin
of an innings and 115 runs.
However, the former middle-order batsman is optimistic about his country’s future in international cricket and claims that there are a number of budding players coming through the ranks of domestic sport.
"Having said that, I feel that with some very talented young guys coming in, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 cricket has a bright future," he concluded.
