I feel good about my game says Phil Hughes – Cricket News Update
Australian opening batsman, Phil Hughes says that he feels confident about his own abilities and hopes to perform well against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 in the upcoming five-day game.
The Kangaroo locks horns with the Kiwi contingent in two Test- match series, starting from December 1st. With a long list of injuries, the left-hander finds himself as one of the senior member of the team in the absence of his regular partner
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558, who is sidelined through a hamstring strain.
While Hughes own form has been patchy in recent times, the player is adamant in his abilities and hopes to put on a good show against their close neighbours. In his last outing against the Proteas, the left-hander scored an impressive 88 in the first innings
of the second Test match, which his side won to level the series.
The 23-year-old says that the innings against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 has given him the added confidence to gear up for challenges on his home soil.
"Personally, I feel good about my game," he said. "I've played New Zealand before (scoring 86) and that was a one-off Test match, but I think the big thing was getting 88 in the first innings of the second Test match against South Africa in Johannesburg,"
said Hughes.
"I think the huge confidence thing, if you look at their attack, they've got one of the best attacks in world cricket, so to score those runs, especially under pressure, was a good feeling," added Hughes.
After impressing on his debut series back in 2009, Hughes have been criticized for his lack of ability to play short ball, which was easily exploited by the Ashes wining team of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749. However, the selectors have persisted with the opener to come good
and he delivered recently away to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, where he scored an excellent knock of 126, allowing his side to draw the match.
Now gearing up to face Kiwi’s, the left-hander will be hoping to show his skipper his true potential and get among regular scorers, which will hold him in good stead ahead of another important clash with the Men In Blue.
