Muttiah Muralitharan asks his Gloucestershire teammates not to lose hope in Friends Life T20
After demonstrating his magic of spin bowling over the years for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Muralitharan-c1864, is currently busy playing English domestic ‘Friends Life Twenty20’ tournament for the Gloucestershire
County.
Having been suffered from three embarrassing defeats in a row, the young Gloucestershire side is presently languishing at the bottom of the South Group’s points table in the Twenty20 competition.
However, the Lankan great, who claimed just one wicket in the last three games, has asked his teammates not to take defeats to heart and keep doing the hard work.
The Gloucestershire men are scheduled to meet Dominic Cork-led http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789 Hawks at Archdeacon Meadow in Gloucester, today, June 10, 2011. Considering the encounter as very important for the home side, the off-spinner described
that the victory in today’s game will put http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gloucestershire-c785 team side back on the winning ways.
"By it's very nature, Twenty20 cricket can change quickly. Momentum is very important in this form of the game and we are all disappointed to start with three losses. But it only takes one good individual performance to spark
the team into life and one win can change everything,” said Muralitharan.
In the ongoing Twenty20 tournament, every county is due to play 16 group-matches before making it into the knockouts. Murali stated that the side still has a long way ahead in the competition and must not lose hope of qualifying
into the next round.
"It is important not to give up hope, to focus on what it is you are trying to do on the pitch and to believe in those things. If we do that, then we can still turn things around,” added the highest wicket-taker in Test cricket.
With over 1300 international wickets, the 39-year-old cricketer is considered as the best spin bowler, the world of cricket has ever produced. He represented Kochi Tuskers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kerala-c803 (KTK) in the recent fourth season of the Indian
Premier League (IPL) and grabbed just a couple of wickets in five games.
After a shoddy IPL campaign followed by the not-so-impressive last three games in the English domestic season, Murali will try to regain his lost momentum and perk up his county side in the upcoming games.
