Zimbabwe spinner Ray Price speaks highly about http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 batting line-up
While the cricket fans are anxiously looking forward for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Price-c82662 seems quite impressed about Kiwis batting line-up.
“We respect them a lot as they have some good players who really connect well with the bat,” said Price on Wednesday while talking to the media after a training session.
Price highlighted the explosive combination of Brendon McCullum and Jesse Ryder and said that the combo makes the Black Caps a formidable batting side. He reckoned that the Zimbabwe attack might find it quite tough to contain the blitz of
the belligerent opening pair.
“I think it will be a challenge for me if Brendon McCullum hits the ball a long way,” said the 34-year-old left-armer. “They have some good players and it is going to be difficult for me.”
Both Zimbabwe and New Zealand have played two games, winning one each and have two points apiece. Friday’s game would be quite crucial for both sides as it would decide chances of both the outfits in reaching the knockout stage. However,
Price said that his side is not thinking too much about the outcome of the match because if a side does that, it loses control of the match and makes errors.
The left-arm orthodox bowler said that the focus of team would be more on its own performance rather than the opposition once they take Daniel Vettori’s men in Ahmedabad on Friday, 3 http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391, 2011.
Zimbabwe will take heart from their performance in the colossal 175-run win against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Canada-c748 in Nagpur in which they went off to a shaky start and were 2 down with only 7 on the board. But the African minnows made a strong come back and posted
an imposing total of 298 runs.
The remarkable performance from their batsmen was well complimented by the spin department of Zimbabwe as Canada were rolled over for just 123 runs.
