David Warner disappointed with his rash stroke in the Lord’s ODI – Cricket News Update
Australia’s opening batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 at the Lord’s and understands that he must learn from his mistakes in order
to be successful in international cricket.
The visitors lost the match by 15 runs to concede a lead in the five-match series. While chasing a massive total, Warner was playing some superb shots for his 56, which came off only 61 balls with the help of six fours and a six.
The left-handed opener was steering his country in the run-chase before edging one straight to the keeper, off the bowling of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705.
Warner is considered to be one of the most talented young batsmen of the world but is often criticized for wrong shot-selection, which has more than once led to his downfall.
The 25-year-old is devastated that he could not finish off the match for the Kangaroos, especially because he was middling the ball during the innings. Warner is of the opinion that he must cut down on rash strokes, if he wants to
make a mark at the ultimate level of the sport.
The left-hander admitted that he got carried away in the first match and threw his wicket away at a crucial juncture of the game.
"It's me thinking that I'm in and I shouldn't be doing that," Warner said. "It's laziness, that's all it comes down to. Early on I'll be getting across to that and playing the ball on its merits, but as you get in you get a little
bit tired, but what you tend to do is you know there's no slips.”
However, the dashing opening batsman knows that he cannot afford to change his natural game, which is to take the attack to the opposition. Warner added that he just needs to make slight adjustments to his technique and things will
start to fall in the right places after that.
The Aussie cricketer expressed, "That's my game, I've got to learn from that, get my feet across, not be so lazy through that period, and capitalise on that.”
