We need to re-think our strategy against Australia: http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davenell-Frederick-Whatmore-c52571 – Cricket News Update
Head coach of the Pakistan team, Dav Whatmore, has stressed the need for his side to come up with a better plan for tackling http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, as the two teams gear up to face each other in the ongoing ICC World Twenty20, 2012, with the competition for a spot in
the tournament semi-finals becoming increasingly stiff.
“We need to rethink a few things, that's for sure, and that will be done,” Whatmore said while speaking to reporters in Colombo.
“We have had some reasonable performances against Australia just recently,” he added. “But they have played very well in the last three weeks or so, in the warm up games and also in this tournament. So it will be a good test. Any one of three teams can still
make it. It's fantastic for them [organisers] and spectators, not good for us.”
Prior to the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033, which included a 3-match ODI series, followed by a 3-match T20I series. While the visitors won the one-day series 2-1, they suffered
a 1-2 loss in the T20I series, which saw their ranking on the ICC’s top T20 teams table slipping lower than that of Ireland’s.
However, Australia bounced back spectacularly and have put in outstanding performances in the ongoing World T20, in which they are as yet unbeaten. Led by superbly in form all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558, the Aussies have gone on to dominate in all four of the
matches they have played so far, and are all but confirmed for a spot in the semi-finals.
The Pakistan team, in comparison, have won only one of the two matches they have played in the Super Eights stage of the tournament, with their most recent match having culminated in a comprehensive 8-wicket defeat at the hands of India in Colombo on September
30.
The match against Australia, due to be played today on October 2 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, sees Pakistan standing on the edge, as they face the pressure of qualifying for the knock-out stage. If the team ends up losing to Australia, however,
they still have a chance of qualifying, provided http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, scheduled to take place directly after the Pakistan-Australia clash today.
