West Indies’ emerging batsman, Kirk Edwards, has revealed that it has never been easy to focus on fielding when the legendary batsman, Sachin Tendulkar arrives at the crease for batting.
Edwards, who started his International career earlier this year, said that it has always been great to watch the batting maestro, terming him as a legend of the game.
The 27-year-old asserted that Tendulkar’s batting diverts his attention from fielding, in the ongoing series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
"Sometimes, I find myself focusing on him (Tendulkar) so much that I am not focusing on my fielding. I think it's the same thing for you as it is for me. The guy is a legend, so we are all in awe of him to see him bat,” he said
while talking to the media.
At the moment, the Barbados-born batsman is in India with his national side, as he was successful in finding a place in the playing XI of the first 2 Tests of the 3-match series.
However, the right-handed batsman has not been much impressive with his batting performance during the Test series.
Edward scored 15 and 33 runs in the first and second innings respectively in the first Test at Feroz Shah Kotla, in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780.
Meanwhile, the promising batman, who has played 31 First Class fixtures so far, gave away his wicket on 16 runs during the first innings of the 2nd Test, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
However, the Caribbean batsman played sensibly in his second outing of the Kolkata Test, scoring 60 runs on 128 balls with the help of six fours and a sixer.
Coming back to Edwards’ recent interview, he added that he always tries to accelerate the scoring momentum according to the situation.
Kirk stated that he has always been trying to improve his batting, and expressed hope that he will overcome his flaws very soon.
"Every time I go out to bat, I try to lay a solid platform for my team. You have to try to understand how the pitches play and try to adjust your game. That's what I am doing in the process of learning," Edwards added in the same
interview.
