Jonny Bairstow a perfect fit England’s world-class ODI team, says Alastair Cook – Cricket News Update
All smiles came for the Poms, but especially for the team’s debutant, Jonny Bairstow, who marked an exceptional premier on his first ever One Day International (ODI), whacking a match winning, not out performance of 41 runs, that aided England into securing
yet another win against India on the fifth and final ODI match at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, on Friday, September 16, 2011.
Bairstow’s impressive performance on the crease, that kicked off following the loss of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867 debutant
as a fine find for England and a perfect fit a world-class ODI team.
Following the match, Bairstow, who was also awarded the Man of the Match title, stated that he was very much pleased with his performance, which despite some nerves, came through his composed and natural performance. The debutant also commended his team,
for playing a major role in making his International Cricket premier special, citing that the players, the captain and the coach, all made him feel comfortable on the squad.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s win at the Cardiff game marks a clean sweep of the Men in Blue, who failed to secure any win on their finally concluded tour to England.
For http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 ODI rankings, from 4th spot to 5th.
As for Cook, the skipper went on to commend Bairstow’s performance, stating citing that the 21-year-old marked a text book debut, which led him into securing a deserving Man of the Match title.
"I think we've just found a player. I don't want to heap too much pressure on him, but to make your debut like that and go and play in such a controlled but positive way was incredible. The lads looking around in the dressing room were saying we've just
found one. All credit to Jonny for that. It's never always going to be plain sailing, but he looks like an outstanding prospect”, said Cook.
Cook also appreciated the team as a whole, which despite in the absence of some of the star players, such as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032, delivered an exceptional performance, marking a deserving final win.
England now has another opportunity to test its might against the Men in Blue, when both the teams go head to head in the ODI series, scheduled to be played in India in October, this year.
