English management keen to study young Australian bowlers - Cricket News Update
The English management is quite keen to look at some of the young Australian bowlers they are yet to face and are pursuing different ways to counter the visitors’ pace attack ahead of their upcoming series.
In one such move, English management has assigned video analyst Gemma Broad to collect data during the visitors’ warm-up match against Leicestershire on June 23.
The Australians are currently touring England to play a five-match One Day International (ODI) series, with the first ODI taking place at Lord’s on Jun 29.
The visitors have brought a six-man pace attack with a mix of youth and experience and the Aussie captain stressed the need for his young bowlers to get used to the English conditions, and the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duke-c54717 ball, which offers more swing and seam-movement as compared
to the Kookaburra ball.
The hosts kept close tabs on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Pattinson-c1653, the young pace man from Victoria, during his two-over spell at the start of the innings where the English analyst recorded his run-up for the striker’s eye-view.
The Pro-Batter device, used both in Australia and England, utilizes such footage to simulate actual bowling actions in practice sessions, while providing the batsmen with a clear insight of a bowler’s approach.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 the Australian left-handed opener, downplayed the analyst’s presence at the match saying, "Just think it's giving her something to do actually, to be honest."
"That's what happens, we get all the footage anyway, it doesn't matter ... she's probably just doing some extra work. There's a data program around the world that all the countries get and we use anyway, so there's nothing that we haven't seen before,” the
opener further added.
Warner gave these comments after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leicestershire-c807 at Grace Road on their first warm-up match of the tour. Opening with wicketkeeper Mathew Wade, the New South Wales’ batsman scored a 74-run knock in a 69-run opening stand on Thursday.
"She'd definitely be trying to get some extra footage of us in these conditions. Definitely some of us never playing before in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 so they probably want a bit of footage for us, but at the end of the day they've got to stand up at their mark and bowl
at us,” the left-hander added.
