It's Close To All Guns Blazing, Says David On Australia’s Plan Of Quick Scoring In T20Is
T20 World Cup: After striking a blistering 83 in Australia’s 17-run win over South Africa in the T20I series opener, big-hitting batter Tim David said the side’s rapid-fire starts in the shortest format is close to their new-found approach of going all guns blazing in lead-up to next year’s T20 World Cup.
In the game at Marrara Stadium, Australia smacked 71 runs in the Powerplay, though they lost four wickets. "It's obviously not the team plan to be four down within six overs, but that happens at times. We've got what we believe is a great calibre of batters in our batting order, and we back each guy to make the right decisions.
"We've been playing together as a group now for a while, so there's not a great deal of instruction from the coaches. They trust the players. We trust ourselves to go out there and we understand the game situation and we make decisions on the fly, because that's the nature of T20 cricket.
