http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bailey-c1480 wants top-order to perform – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 were handed their biggest T20I defeat by Pakistan on Wednesday, in the first fixture of the three-match series, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, as the Men in Green restricted the Australians on a meagre total of 89 runs by exhibiting some phenomenal bowling and then hammered their way to victory in 14.5 overs for the loss of three wickets.
The heavy defeat made the Australian T20 skipper, George Bailey, urge the batsmen to score more runs in the coming matches.
Admitting that his side was outmatched by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, the 29-year-old skipper said, “Completely outplayed. The pitch was a little bit slow, but the top order need to bat for longer and score more runs, that is the name of the game in T20. We are working towards the World T20, and this is the first step towards that."
Bailey himself made 14 runs off 19 deliveries, where http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 was the highest scoring batsman from the Australians with a knock of 22 to his name.
The rest of the batting contingent just did not have a chance against the belligerent bowling they were up against as Pakistan, with a combination of spin and pace bowling, rattled the Aussies.
Appreciating the collective effort by his squad, Pakistan’s T20 captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Raza-Hasan-c84407 showed a lot of character for a debutant."
The opening batsman was named as the Player of the Match for his 17-run knock backed by a two-wicket haul.
While left-arm pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 was economical with his two wickets in four overs after conceding only 13 runs.
GJ Maxwell who had given Ajmal a tough time in the One Day International (ODI) series, was returned the favour when the spinner had him caught by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasir-Jamshed-c78752 on a score of four.
Nothing worked for Australia today, however, both sides should now be looking forward to their second clash on Friday, September 07, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
