Doug Bracewell earn praise from coach – Cricket News Update
New Zealand pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Geoffrey-Wright-c67883 after the player bowled his team to success in the second Test against Australia.
With 72 for no loss, the Aussies were in pole position to chase down 241 before the Kiwi pacers turned on the style to inflict an unlikely defeat to their opponents – consequently claiming their first win on Australian soil in 26 years.
The orchestrator off this heroic comeback was Bracewell, who ended with match figures of 9 for 60. He took 3 scalps in the first innings, while proved too hot to handle for the middle and lower order as he grabbed a 6-wicket haul in the second innings to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robin-James-Boyd-Moss-c86323 the Kangaroos.
However, his match turning performance did little good after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 policy, which for the first time tried a voting based system rather than the customary expert panel decision.
Despite this snub, Wright praised the bowler for his special performance and wants him to keep on the good work since making his debut recently against Zimbabwe. Even against the Rhodesians he failed to get the Man of Match award despite taking an impressive five-for in the second innings, which helped his team to triumph from a seemingly troublesome situation.
"He's done some special things. We've been here before. We were in a similar situation against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 going in to the last session of the game and Doug stood up in that match and he's done it again,” said Wright.
In his short career, the 21-year-old is fast emerging as the leader of the New Zealand attack. However, the head coach feels that there is still plenty of room for improvement and advised the young bowler to put emphasis on becoming a world beater.
"He could be [something special], but there's a few like that in this team,” added Wright. “…you look at him and think he should be wanting to be world-ranked, not just a good player for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 but he should be a world-class player."
