http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Irfan-Pathan-c1601 praises the team spirit of Delhi Daredevils – Cricket News Update
Delhi Daredevils’ all-rounder, Irfan Pathan, is all praise for the senior players of his team and said that the coach, Eric Simmons has kept everyone on his toes.
The franchise failed to make an impression last year and ended up at the bottom of the points table with only four victories in 14 matches. However, Delhi made some changes in its line-up for the on-going season and they are paying off now.
The likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 have been doing exceedingly well in the tournament. As a result of that, Delhi is at the top of the points table this year and looks like the hot-favourite to lift the title.
In the presence of so many international stars, young cricketers can often be complacent but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 has an amazing team spirit and the senior players lead from the front. The all-rounder praised the work-ethic of Simmons and said that the
coach makes sure that every player is giving his best in the field and also during practice.
"It can easily happen but luckily we have a good group of guys who know how to approach each match. They have been very smart with their play. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Frederick-Sykes-c65697 Simmons is keeping a check on us all the time,” said Pathan.
Pathan has recently made a comeback at the international level but is still struggling to cement his place in the Indian team. The left-arm medium-fast bowler has been bowling well in the tournament but understands that he should have taken more wickets,
being the premier bowler of Delhi, along with South Africa’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528.
The cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Baroda-c769 has improved his batting abilities over the years and is happy with his hard-hitting in the current season.
"It has been mixed a tournament for me. The batting has been good so far but bowling could be a lot better. I am able to maintain a decent economy rate though I would love to take more wickets in the rest of the tournament," he added.
Delhi’s next match is scheduled to be played against Kolkata Knight Riders on May 7th, 2012.
