Younis Khan wants to make amends in the second ODI – Cricket News Update
The middle order batsman of Pakistan, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Younis-Khan-c98325 was extremely disappointed with his team’s batting performance in the first One Day International (ODI) against England, at Abu Dhabi and vows that his team will bounce back in the second match of the series.
The Green Shirts did a superb job in the Test series and whitewashed the number one ranked Test team of the world. However, they got off to a disastrous start in the limited overs portion of the series.
England made 260 runs batting first after winning the toss and they bowled http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566, who used the new ball to good effect and the Green Shirts
must improve their batting, if they want to make a comeback in the series.
However, Younis, who is also a former captain, said that there is no need to press the panic button just as yet, as the team has been doing well in the recent past. The right hander has put the first ODI behind him and wants to make amends in the second
match.
The former captain said, "We should not panic because we have not batted badly in the last four five matches, so we need to try our best and put Monday's performance behind us."
Younis praised the partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RS-Bopara-c2373 and feels that it was the difference between the two teams. The right hander emphasised that Cook led his team from the front, which boosted the morale of the English team.
Younis also said that his team should have chased down the total without much difficulty.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 had a very good partnership between Cook and (Ravi) Bopara and that helped them. When the captain of the team plays like this the whole team is inspired and Cook's knock lifted England so we have to match them in their body language and performance.
It wasn't a difficult chase but we failed to put up a reasonable stand," the right handed batsman added.
