I can keep going and keep doing the family proud, says Jonny Bairstow – Cricket News Update
Jonny Bairstow, the young English batsman, is hopeful of thriving against the World Champions, and bring pride to his family, which has a strong and long cricketing background.
The 22-year-old, who staged his ODI debut last month against India and impressed all and sundry with this eye-catching performance with the bat, is confident of his skills and determined to replicate the same legacy in his team’s upcoming ODI series.
Bairstow’s excellent 41-run unbeaten knock off just 21 balls at Cardiff, paved the way for his selection in the squad which has reach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 to play 5 ODIs and a one-off T20I, starting from October 14.
In the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/C-Kieswetter-c1206, Bairstow will have to perform both before and behind the stumps, and he considers it to be a great opportunity for him.
Talking to the media today, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867 boy said, “Without a doubt, it's a proud moment for us. I hope I can keep going and keep doing the family proud. I'm sure he'd have had some wise words to say coming out here."
Recalling his maiden ODI, he told, “There's obviously a little bit to live up to. But at the end of the day, it was just one knock. You've got to try to look at the 'positives'. We all know it was one innings; I know myself it was. It was something I was
very pleased with, and I hope I can take it forward.”
The right hander is fortunate enough to have gained a chance to play this series with just one ODI and one T20I to his name. However, he has played 46 Test, 31 List A and 32 T20 games in the domestic cricket arena, where he represents England http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808, Yorkshires
and Yorkshire 2nd XI.
