00:00
It was actually a move that the captain came up with.
00:12
Strayas thought on that sort of pitch against that bowling attack
00:17
that it would be the right thing to, if a wicket fell early, to send Inglis in.
00:22
We felt that Mayank would bowl early on,
00:26
and if you look at the way he bowls, he generally bowls reasonably short,
00:28
and that's one of Inglis' great strengths, as you saw tonight.
00:31
Those pull shots were pretty amazing straight away.
00:34
So, yeah, that was what the captain wanted to do.
00:38
It then also allows us to have, you know, Aya, Wadera and Shashank
00:42
through the middle of the innings,
00:43
which is what we thought would be crucial for us in tonight's game as well.
00:46
So, yeah, I mean, it was probably a surprise call for LSG to see him go out,
00:54
and it paid off for us tonight.
00:55
So, you know, once we got off to a, you know, I think we were 70-odd
00:58
at the end of the power play, all the momentum was going with us,
01:01
and you see with our batting, you know, we've got someone like Asmatullah
01:05
at number nine.
01:06
So we bat really, really deep, and it allows our top order
01:09
to play with a lot of freedom, and they did that tonight,
01:12
and they, you know, to bat first and get that sort of total
01:14
was a great effort.
01:15
Yeah, look, he's been brilliant, hasn't he?
01:24
You know, him and Prianch have got us off to some great starts
01:26
in the tournament.
01:27
They both, you know, before today had both made 350 runs each
01:30
for the tournament.
01:30
I sort of challenged both of the openers in the team meeting today
01:33
for one of them to go on and get 100 in this match,
01:36
and unfortunately, Prab felt just a little bit,
01:38
fell a little bit short of that.
01:39
But, look, all we've done with our batting group,
01:43
we've just given some really clear direction of the way
01:44
that we want them to play to understand how important, you know,
01:48
top order partnerships are in this competition,
01:51
and we know that if, you know, Prianch and Prab get going together,
01:54
that they can be ultra-destructive.
01:57
You know, Prianch mainly probably more against the faster bowlers,
02:00
and Prab's as good a hitter or a spin as anybody going around.
02:02
So they complement each other really well, being left-hand, right-hand,
02:06
and one probably being slightly better against the quicks,
02:08
another against spin.
02:09
So, look, it's a really good combination.
02:14
You know, and that's...
02:14
When we sat down as a group heading in,
02:18
like, thinking about our auction strategy
02:20
and the players that we wanted to retain,
02:21
I think you're starting to see why I was so keen
02:24
to retain Prab Simran.
02:26
He's a very, very good young player,
02:29
and he's very keen to bring success to this team,
02:31
and that showed with the way that he played tonight.
02:33
Hey, did you say?
02:34
How will you describe Arshtip bowling today?
02:40
And he stayed third over, and that looked very well.
02:43
Yeah, once again, great stuff by the captain to bowl him that third over.
02:47
I think once we had the...
02:48
You know, he got the two early wickets,
02:50
and then I think Rishabh and Porin together,
02:53
I think Sreyas understood how important it was
02:55
to try and break that partnership early.
02:57
So he gave Arshtip the third over,
02:59
and bang, he knocks Porin over.
03:02
And at that stage, with Porin out
03:03
and them being three down inside the power play,
03:05
it was always going to be hard work for them
03:07
to get back into the game.
03:08
So I think Arshtip is a bit like Prabh, actually.
03:12
I think he's got better and better every game.
03:14
As this tournament's gone on, he's got better and better.
03:15
I think he's got more confident.
03:17
He's starting to get those power play wickets now
03:19
that we know that he can with that brand-new ball.
03:22
I think his first over tonight
03:23
really set the tone for our bowling innings.
03:25
It was a fantastic first over.
03:27
The ball bounced and moved around.
03:29
So, you know, he's a star, no doubt about it,
03:32
and we're very lucky to have him in our team.
03:34
Last two questions.
03:35
So far, so good.
03:40
One game, one win.
03:40
We won't complain too much.
03:42
I mean, what I liked tonight was the crowd
03:44
and the atmosphere in the stadium.
03:45
I mean, it's a beautiful place to be.
03:48
It's a beautiful stadium.
03:49
But what we want to do here
03:51
is make sure that we're winning our home games.
03:52
You know, this is our home ground.
03:53
This is not like somewhere we're just turning up to play.
03:55
We've got three games here,
03:57
and we want to make this a ground
03:58
that opposition teams find it hard to play on.
04:00
And we understand the conditions,
04:03
and we play well here.
04:04
So it was a great start for us tonight.
04:06
As I said, there was a great crowd.
04:08
You know, we play Delhi here in a couple of days,
04:11
another good team in this tournament.
04:12
I'm sure we'll get a good crowd again,
04:14
and hopefully the boys can do the same job again.
04:17
You were also thinking about the net run late,
04:19
but I should believe you did something wrong.
04:25
Bedoni did something wrong with, what do you mean?
04:27
About the net run late.
04:29
Ours?
04:29
Yes.
04:30
Oh, look, I think we let a few runs slip away late in the game.
04:35
I don't think our bowling in our last 10 overs
04:36
was as good as it could have been.
04:38
That's something that we'll talk about tonight
04:40
and hopefully address before our next game.
04:43
I thought our new ball bowling,
04:44
like our first eight, nine, 10 overs were outstanding.
04:48
You know, Samad and then Bedoni
04:50
sort of found themselves in a situation
04:52
where they had nothing to lose.
04:53
They had to come out and hit,
04:54
and they did and they put our bowlers under pressure
04:56
and I'm not sure we responded quite as well as we could have.
05:00
So, but all in all, it's, you know,
05:02
that's another very, very good team win.
05:05
It's a win that takes us up to second on the table now
05:07
and it's our first win here in Durham, Charlotte for the season.
05:12
So, all in all, a good night.
