Kiwi coach John Wright wants his batsmen to improve – Cricket News Update
Black Caps' Coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Geoffrey-Wright-c67883, has urged his batsmen to overcome their batting vows and start scoring runs confidently if they wish to survive in the competitive arena of international cricket which is made up of some big adversaries.
Despite New Zealand’s 7-run victory over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Doug-Bracewell-c1394,
who grabbed a 6-wicket haul.
Wright opines that the Black Caps will remain vulnerable in the 5-day format of the game unless they improvise their batting wing.
Talking to the media today, the Mentor said, “We won a test match without scoring 300 runs in any innings, which usually isn't enough. The expectation in the top six is that you have to get runs. I'm fairly confident we have got the best players, but we
just didn't handle the conditions particularly well.”
Neither of the two teams were able to score even 250 at the lush green ground of Hobart.
Wright has warned the underperforming batsmen to mend their ways otherwise they may lose their spots in the team.
He told, “In the end if you're not getting runs then your position becomes part of speculation. You can't not score runs and expect to make the team."
Despite these odds, the Coach hopes that the team’s young batsmen will prove to be assets for them in the future as they possess immense talent and firepower.
Like other cricket experts , Wright too believes that overdose of T20I and ODI formats of the game has badly affected the longer version as players are averse to stay in action for five days.
“It's a very different game these days because they play so much Twenty20 and one-day cricket,” stated for former cricketer.
Capitalising on the confidence they have gained from the Hobart victory, the Kiwis are keen to shore up themselves ahead of next year’s two consecutive home series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757. The Ross Taylor-led side will be looking to win both the
events to reclaim their lost position in international cricket.
