Enjoy what wise a head having about his game . He has certainly proven experience in this game format . Seem to have a good relationship and get a good partnership going. We are quite lucky that we both hit the ball and hit it in different areas. saw a comment from our captain earlier this week when he said that Smith and I do not compete but complement each other , which is good to opening an association . ”
McCullum said the team management also had a role in the success of the couple. ” The captain and coach have complemented our skills to play with us. They do not want us to be too aggressive , but only play the style of cricket that has come to where we are in world cricket at the moment. It’s always good have a leadership team that way to give the confidence to go out and play . what we have seen are reasonably aggressive outbursts of us who are out of character with the way we are as players. we are not trying to be what we are no, we’re just trying to make our natural game. ”
Modified Action Mohit help
Mohit Sharma has set her performance on the board of the India bowling coach Joe Dawes and that has helped him increase his speed , according to his coach Vijay Yadav . Mohit has taken eight wickets in an economy rate of 6.69 in the IPL so far and is only behind Sunil Narine at the time .
” He has made a slight technical change, ” Yadav , also a former India wicketkeeper , told Mail Today. ” Your hand is used to back up a bit more and because your body uses to form a large bow. But now that the bow is down a little after his ankle injury , and because of this the load in back is also less . Mohit told me it’s more comfortable now in the IPL and I ‘ve noticed that its speed has also improved. ”
Vijay consistency targets
M Vijay wants to be more consistent with his batting . The Delhi Daredevils opener had a disappointing start to the season before he made ​​52 against Sunrisers Hyderabad and 40 against Mumbai Indians . “I’m working on that aspect ,” Vijay said. ” As far as my batting , I have been batting well . Once you get consistency in my batting , I will go. ‘ve Been batting quite well in the domestic season and I’ve been hitting the ball very well. Just want to take On my good form this season IPL . ”
Vijay said that should have ended the chase of 126 against Mumbai Indians after leading his team to 79 for 1 . ” I should have won the game from there. There was no pressure on the team and myself. Hitters I knew I would have difficulty entering . ‘m Going to try to finish the next game for the daredevils .”
Parnell expects his chance
Wayne Parnell, the fast bowler Delhi Daredevils , said his time outside of South Africa has taught him to be patient and take advantage when the opportunity comes . Parnell made ​​his test debut in early 2010 , but had to wait another four years for their next match in the longer format . “In the last 12 to 16 months, after being out of the national team , I went back to domestic cricket and some decent performances to return to the South African team presented ” Parnell said. ” I’ve also learned to wait for my chance and do well for the team when I get the chance. You have the likes of Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn in the pace attack for South Africa, and for me as a young man, has to hang on it and perform well when I needed. “
