Ahead of Australia’s first Super Eight match against Bangladesh in Antigua, big-hitting finisher and part-time off-spinner said he had been experimenting with leg pins over the past few months and hoped his team could offer another option. said. I need.
“It just gives me an option as a match-up,” said David, who is yet to get a chance to bowl at this World Cup. “I started bowling legspin in the nets about nine months ago and the results have been really good.” “So I worked really hard. And to be honest… I really enjoy bowling. It’s more fun in the game than sitting there for 20 overs on the field.”
Australia’s frontline spinners Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa have collaborated with David on their bowling. “It was great to bowl with Ash and bowl to Zamps when he was in the nets and knock out ideas,” David said. “It’s great to have a bowling coach and get different ideas from people. But it’s also important to find what’s right for you and find your own way.”
“I think that’s the essence of the World Cup, isn’t it? You play every team once,” David said. “When you play in a final, you don’t get to see a lot of these guys and you don’t really stand out because you might win a team twice. “I don’t think there’s anyone in our team. We would have played against him (Rishadh), so we We will deal with him.”
“I’ve been practicing a lot against spin in the last few weeks. It’s not that stressful the day before the game or the few days before the game (though). You can’t change too much with that, you know? The final stage.”

David has been batting against spin at the net to prepare for all of this, but at this point the match is too close to be worth thinking about too much about. “I’ve been practicing a lot against spin in the last few weeks, the day before the game or a few days before the game (but) it’s not too much stress,” he said. “I know I can’t change too much in the final stages. Feel good (at the net), check a few boxes and have fun in training. That’s the most important thing to me (being very close to the game) ) ).”
One of the things he will pay particular attention to on game day is the direction of the wind blowing on the ground. “Yes, the wind is really important. If you hit the ball into the wind (and) it’s 50 meters shorter, if you hit it into the wind (and) you can’t stop it. Last time in St. Lucia, downwind. When you hit the ball, it goes out of the field,” David said.
“Yes, everything becomes important when you’re in the middle. It’s about weighing the risks, weighing what the best option is at the end of the day. I think… when you experience it, you know what the risk is. Some islands in the Caribbean are different than others. “The wind is quite stronger than on the island.”
