Player of the Match
Josh Hazlewood | Australia
The ball feels like it’s coming out nicely at the moment, in whatever format I’m turning up and playing. So, not much needed to change on a wicket like that – there’s enough there for all the quicks. Just about putting the ball in the right areas, don’t try too much, and seeing what happens.
(anything different you have done this summer?) Not a lot different, really. Minor tweaks here and there, as always, everything’s improving. I think just playing continuous cricket has helped – we’ve been up north playing a few games, then over in New Zealand, now here, West Indies in the winter…
I’ve just been going from one series to the next, playing majority of the games, resting when needed. Everything feels in a good place and ready to go. (strong bowling unit) Absolutely.
There’s no better place to learn than out here, in front of 80-odd thousand people, against a high-quality team. I’ve been really happy with what I’ve seen from the other end over the last few games – even in the one-day games, Bartt’s been on fire. Nath does his job every time he turns up, puts in a 100% and bowls some really tough overs.
We’re building a nice group of quicks who’ll be fighting for spots in time to come. (that’s it for this series) Heading home tomorrow. I’ll have a week to prepare for the Shield game against Victoria at the SCG, then we head to Perth for the first Test.
It’s important to get that red ball rhythm in, bowl consecutive overs, spend big days in the field – tick that off and then it’s Perth.
