Sri Lanka v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 2011: No problem with breaking bats till I perform well for England says Craig Kieswetter – Cricket News Update
England’s one-day skipper, Alastair Cook’s blistering 95-run knock was a treat to watch in the fourth One Day International (ODI) against Sri Lanka but one cannot overlook http://www.senore.com/Cricket/C-Kieswetter-c1206 who impressed everyone by his aggressive style of play.
Chasing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758’s revised target of 171, Cook and Kieswetter led their side to a comfortable 10-wicket triumph at Trent Bridge, on Wednesday, July 6, 2011.
The right-handed opener smashed a brutal innings of 72 runs including eight stunning boundaries and three mighty sixes. Batting at a strike rate of over-100, the wicket-keeper batsman hammered the ball harder than anyone else in the game.
Kieswetter, who recently replaced http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-David-Hunter-c63802 in his hands often split into more than two parts during play.
However, Kieswetter is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arthur-Percival-Day-c45927 with his routine of breaking bats till he keeps on performing well for England in International cricket.
"The only thing I get done to my bat is I ask for my bat to be pressed quite hard. The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wood-c98110 sometimes can be quite soft in the bat. But I like them pressed hard to it makes a ping off the bat and the ball fly off bat quicker. It makes bats quite brittle,
and so I go through quite a few bats," said Kieswetter.
Kieswetter has a very good record of hitting the ball out of the park. In his 77-match-old List A career, he holds 74 sixes to his credit while he has struck the ball for maximum for 14 times in 16 ODIs. Apart from going for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Griffith-c919 strokes, the South African-born
cricketer believes that he has improved his game a lot in the last few years.
"I think I have developed my game. I proved to myself I can do it and don't have to go out there and slog it as far as I can,” added the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843 batsman.
Furthermore, Kieswetter aimed to continue the good work in the finale of the series, scheduled to be played at Old Trafford on Saturday, July 9, 2011.
