Mickey Arthur disappointed with bowlers – Cricket News Update
Expressing disappointment over his bowlers’ performance against West Indies in a World T20 Group B clash at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on Saturday night, the Australian head coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969 urged the bowlers to learn from their mistakes ahead of the Super Eight stage of the tournament.
After opting to bat first, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maxwell-c60189’s only over, to complete his half-century off just 26.
"I was really disappointed the way we executed with the ball," said Arthur during a media encounter on Monday. "We’re just a little bit sloppy and that annoyed me a little bit."
Arthur, who is the first foreign head coach of the mighty Aussies, said that he did not mind if a bowler misses out narrowly while trying to bowl a Yorker, but bowling same length deliveries to a particular batsman is unbearable.
"I've got problems when we're hit both sides of the wicket and I know what plans I want to execute against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221," said the former South African cricketer.
"When we get it completely wrong, then I really get annoyed. Short and wide, back of a length. He just stood and took 18 runs," he added further referring to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Cummins’ second over, fifth overall of West Indies innings.
Arthur also admitted that the Australian bowlers panicked a bit after Chris Gayle started hitting them all over the park.
"We wanted to try and cramp Gayle up a little bit, which we did to a certain degree. Once he started going, I thought we panicked just a fraction," conceded the South African.
The Australians have qualified for the Super Eight stage of the marquee tournament, where they will face former champions http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755. Arthur urged his bowlers to learn from the mistakes against the Windies and iron those weaknesses out before facing the tough oppositions in the second round.
