Sri Lanka Vs Zimbabwe: Tatenda Taibu excited about playing against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 – ICC World Cup 2011
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tatenda-Taibu-c92882, Zimbabwe’s wicketkeeper and one of the most experienced cricketers on the team, has commented that he is excited about the playing against Sri Lanka in Kandy today.
While sharing his views on the eve of an important match against a far stronger Sri Lankan team, Taibu did not show any apprehension. Rather, he was excited and confident about playing against players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Muttiah-Muralitharan-c78157 and Lasith Malinga.
Sharing his excitement, the experienced cricketer said, “Personally, I love playing against Sri Lankans, because they are a very tough bunch. And every time I play against a tough bunch, my game gets better. I am really looking forward to playing the likes
of Muralitharan, Mendis, Malinga- they are top-class bowlers.”
The veteran wicket-keeper, also accepted that it was a tough challenge to encounter such a hugely talented team. He also added that if his team succeeds in performing well against the Lankans, it would be an achievement in itself.
Displaying his form and performance time and again, Taibu has successfully shown his importance for the team in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2011. His stunning 98 for the Africans, aimed at outdoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Canada-c748 was sensational. However, when they encounter the Lankans
on the field, team Zimbabwe will certainly need a plan, fortified with reliable openers. Charles Coventry and Brendon http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 would certainly have to do their best to salvage the morale of their team in the remaining part of the tournament.
Speaking about the strategy his team would use when facing the big guys, Taibu made clear that he would not bother himself with details that were out of his control. The wicketkeeper c*m batsman does not believe in taking pressure on the field. He likes
to deal with problems as they crop up during play.
Taibu said, “I have batted everywhere from number one to ten for Zimbabwe so I am not really fussed about going at any position. I just enjoy any type of pressure. When I decided to play cricket at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Young-c41367 age, I played it because I enjoyed it. It doesn’t
matter what situation I am put in. I just take it as a challenge and try and overcome that. It’s a goal I set myself so I am happy with what I have done.”
This was rather an amazing insight into the man who is the back bone of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Knight-c71599 Riders and is also being
considered among the most talented young batsmen in the world.
