Simmons Intends To Rest His Big Guns
While ruling out any concerns over the possible injuries, Eric Simons, the in-charge of the Indian team has showed his intentions of resting some of the key players in the fifth and the last one-day international against Kiwis
that is going to be played today.
With maintaining a lead by 4-0, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754.
Addressing the perception of the people that team India was afraid of developing any major injuries, Simmons said, “There are no injury concerns. No one is ruled out but if we don’t play anybody on Friday, it will be more of a
precautionary measure because we leave for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in a few days time.”
He denied indulging into any experiment, and insisted that it was their priority to put a competent team in the last match against Kiwis, so that winning the series with an emphatic manner(5-0) can be made possible. While hinting
upon the possible changes he intended to make in to the team, he said that it would be done only to avoid possible niggles.
The head of Indian team in absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Kirsten-c58527 was also looking rather happy over the comeback of Yuvraj Singh, who has now started to pick his form.
“Yuvraj was under tremendous pressure the other day (in Banglore) but his shot selections were pretty good. I am quite happy with the way he played. He was striking the ball pretty well. He is clearing the boundary with ease and
that proves that he is timing the ball well and batting with confidence” he added.
Simons also went on praising Yusuf Pathan who helped the home side to make it into the fourth ODI while hitting 123 runs off just 96 balls.
Referring to his performance, Simons said that it was Pathan’s best innings he had ever seen. For spectators, it might be Yusuf’s power which might have excited them, but it was his temperament, the player depicted between the
boundaries, which had inspired Simon the most. By all means, it was an impressive performance by the number seven batsman.
Praising the availability of so much talent, Simon said that in the presence of young players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Parthiv-Patel-c2159, it is going to be really difficult for the selectors to pick up the final squad for the world cup event.
