Tim Murtagh ready to upset Australia-Cricket News Update
Middlesex paceman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 were gone,
owing to the strong depth in the fast bowling department.
He had represented the England U-19 side way back in 1999 but failed to impress the English management. However, he is now aiming to make the most of his international outing by performing well against the Aussies.
"I played Under-19s and I had no contact or been selected for any squad after that, so my chance is gone now, it probably disappeared a few years ago," Murtagh told ESPNcricinfo. "They're a very strong team, but certainly having grown up through the age
groups, starting at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Middlesex-c817, I had ambitions to play for England. But it's obvious they didn't want to utilize my services, so the Ireland thing came in. I probably should've done it a few years ago if I'm honest. It'll be a great opportunity
to play international cricket.” said Tim.
Taking 32 wickets this season in the county championship, the fast-bowler will have to prove himself against the dominating Australian side. In a tour warm-up match that was played between Middlesex and Australia in 2010, the attacking bowler bagged 3 wickets,
conceding just 43, while claiming prized scalps of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ricardo-Gouveia-c84824 Pointing; technically most sound batsmen in the opposing team.
With the conditions in England tricky, owing to rain, Tim sees this as an opportunity to upset the Australian batters, who will have little time to acclimatize, and add another major scalp to Ireland’s list following their heroics in the last year’s World
Cup, where they defeated rivals England by chasing down a mammoth target of 328.
While the confidence level of the player seems high, one cannot underestimate the no.1 ODI ranked side, which have been performing consistently over the past 12-month period under http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120. Following their one-off bout, the visitors will then play England
in a five-match ODI series.
In addition, Niall O’Brien is another player who will be making a comeback in the Irish team as he missed the T20 World Cup qualifiers after opting to play in the inaugural http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 Premier League.
