Collingwood backs Buttler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Morgan-c77707 to make an impact in World T20 – Cricket News Update
Former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 on September 18.
Collingwood, the only English captain to win an http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806, the Player of the Tournament from the previous edition.
However, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Durham-c782 veteran is not concerned regarding KP’s exclusion as he believes that the current group is better equipped to win when compared to the victorious England side of 2010, simply because of the experienced the players have gained playing for their county sides, and in global leagues around the world.
“The players involved last time round have improved by two years,” he told Sportsmail. “Some of them have had experience in the Big Bash and the IPL and other high-pressure situations, and they understand the Twenty20 game a lot more. I honestly think it's a better team than it was last time.”
The all-rounder also heaped praise on the English middle-order duo Morgan and Buttler, and claims that both can fill the void left by KP and guide their team to victory. While Morgan’s form has dipped in recent times, he still remains their best player, and has the additional knowledge of playing under sub-continent conditions due to the time spent in the Indian Premier League.
As for Buttler, his stacks have risen following a bludgeoning 32-run cameo, which propelled the team to level the T20 series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
“Up until then everybody was questioning whether Buttler was good enough, but all of a sudden you've just won a game in 10 balls for England,' said Collingwood. That will give everyone a lot of confidence. And when you've got the quality of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032, these guys can do what KP did last time round - they can win not just games but World Cups.”
The defending champions are in Group A, which also includes http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
