http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032 as one of the best in the world – Cricket News Update
England’s fast bowler, Steven Finn, is all praise for Eoin Morgan after the left-hander’s match-winning knock against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in the first match of the One Day International (ODI) series and hopes that the Ireland-born will soon return to the Test side.
Morgan was dropped from the five-day format after his poor performance in the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE). However, the aggressive batsman remains an integral part of the limited-overs team.
The Poms defeated the Kangaroos by 15 runs in the first ODI at the Lord’s and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Morgan-c77707 played a defining role in the outcome of the match as he scored an unbeaten 89 off just 63 balls, in which he struck five fours and four massive hits out of the park.
The former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 cricketer was named as the Player of the Match for his stunning innings.
Finn, who also grabbed a couple of scalps to help his team’s cause, revealed that he has played alongside the left-hander since their teenage days and expects such performances by the stylish stroke-maker. The lanky fast bowler believes that Morgan is one
of the best ODI batsmen of the world when it comes to crunch situations.
"I have played a lot of cricket with Eoin, since we were 16 years old, and I have seen him do it lots of times before. It is no surprise he is doing it in international cricket -- he is one of the best players in the world,” Finn said.
Since the left-hander’s exclusion from the Test squad, the fast bowler believes he has improved his technique and is now more equipped to face world-class bowlers.
The fast bowler stated, “To have him around with his experience -- he has played a lot of one-day cricket with Ireland, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 -- is fantastic. You have seen a few technical changes he has made that have made a huge difference. I hope that
will lead to a call-up.”
Another couple of impressive knocks against the Kangaroos will strengthen the left-hander’s case for Test selection; come the all-important series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, which begins later this month.
