http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170, says that he is not worried about his place in the national side and is simply enjoying being back playing cricket.
Haddin suffered a considerable dip in form with both, bat and gloves, earlier in the year, which further cemented http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Wade-c1933’s position in the team. He was then forced to miss plenty of international action, following his daughter's illness, which also put his career at risk.
However, he made an impressive return in the new domestic season, scoring a century against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tasmania-c854 and putting a flawless showing with the gloves. He will now lead Sydney Sixers in the upcoming Champions League T20.
“I've just got to make sure I'm in the best possible space I can be as a cricketer, and everything else takes care of itself. I'm happy with where my game's at batting, keeping and just enjoying being back playing cricket.”

The Men in Blue needed a win by at least 31 runs against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in their final Super Eight fixtures, but only managed victory by a solitary run, which ensured that Pakistan progressed ahead of them. It is the third consecutive time that Dhoni’s men have failed to make the knock-out phase.
"You are at the stage where other games are having an impact. You don't want that kind of situation to happen but sometimes you are just forced to accept what is pushed on to you," the Indian skipper said.
Australian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bailey-c1480, admitted that his side struggled to cope with spin during their final Super Eight fixture against Pakistan.

Bailey admitted that the team will need to rectify their woes against quality spin, when they will compete in the second semi-final against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in the first knock-out match on Thursday.
