Player of the Match
Nathan McSweeney | Brisbane Heat
Renshaw played really well, he was the man for us. I played well in the Power Surge, luckily it went in my way. Probably the wicket wasn’t the normal true wicket as the Gabba. It’s always nice to bounce back.
Loved my time in the Australian cricket team, hopefully I learn from my experience, get better and get back there. Nice to share the dressing room with such great players. It’s not about how it starts, but how it ends.
That’s the part of the journey, it’s all about ups and downs. It’s a great learning curve. I grew up in Brisbane, it’s my home. Our squad is strong, we have players (like Neser, Spencer Johnson) on the sidelines. It’s exciting to see.
