I'll just be just letting him loose – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Graham-Downton-c44379 Cowan puts faith in Johnson – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945, a free hand during the first clash against Derbyshire, which begins tomorrow.
On tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Forrest-c2176.
It was the left-armer’s comeback series after injury and self doubt had seen him fall from being the leader of the Australian attack to becoming an infrequent feature. However, the ODI bouts did little to suggest that he was ready to emulate his old self, sending down 7 wicketless overs, and taking plenty of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 from the opposition in the only match he played in the five-match series.
However, he recently spoke about becoming mentally strong, claiming that the time out of the game has indeed helped him assess his game and change his attitude. While he has returned with a renewed self-belief, it will be his performances on the pitch, which will undermine his presence in the national team, especially with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Pattinson-c1653, all above him in the pecking order.
For his current captain, Cowan, the only way to get the best out of the 30-year-old is to let him loose on his own. Also, the rigours of a three-day game might be more suitable to gauge his state rather than a limited-version bout.
"He just needs to be relaxed and enjoy his cricket, away from the spotlight of international cricket and the pressures and the demands and the scrutiny most importantly that brings, and just get back to finding some rhythm and bowling well.”
“Everyone knows how good he is, it's just a question of regaining that confidence in his body and his action. His action looks great at the moment, and I'll just be just letting him loose, let him do his own thing and have confidence to do that, that's a big thing," Cowan said, while talking to Cricinfo.
