Philander thanks the team management for giving him the new ball – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528, who is one of the leading speedsters of the world.
The 27-year-old cricketer made his Test debut last year against the touring Australian side, impressing one and all with eight wickets in his very first outing at Cape Town. Since then, Philander has enjoyed immense faith of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GC-Smith-c1473 and the coaching
staff, who have started to consider him as a strike-bowler and an integral part of the Proteas’ bowling line-up, which is one of the best in the business.
Philander expressed that he has mostly opened the bowling in first-class cricket and was rightly given a chance to showcase his skills with the fresh cherry, as it has been his forte over the years in the four-day format back home as well as in county cricket
in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
The talented cricketer is thankful to the head coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Kirsten-c58527, for having confidence in his skills to deliver the goods at the highest stage of the game.
“In domestic cricket I'd taken the new ball and if you're going to give a guy a chance you want to give him a chance doing what he's good at,” he said. “For me, that's with the new nut and that's exactly what Gary has done, he's given me the new nut and
the freedom to perform."
In the 10 Test matches Philander has played so far, the right-arm seamer has picked up 63 wickets at an amazing average of 15.96 runs per scalp. The cricketer from Bellville has played a huge role in helping http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 become the world’s number one ranked
Test team.
While talking about handling the stardom, Philander expressed that he likes to keep his feet on the ground and just focuses on the job at hand.
“Sometimes it does get to you, but I'm the type of guy who goes back and finds time just to reflect on what I've done. I don't let the hype get to me,” the seamer added.
