T20 World Cup 2024 – Tim David ‘working really hard’ on his leg

Ahead of Australia’s first Super Eight match, against Bangladesh in Antigua, David, who completed the big hit and is playing part-time by trade, said he had been trying to hit the legs for the past few months, hoping to give his team another option if it happened. i need

“It gives you options as a game. I started bowling legspin in the nets about nine months ago, and they came out really well,” said David, who has yet to bowl at the World Cup. “So I’ve been working hard on it. And to be honest… I really enjoy bowling. It’s more fun in the game than just sitting there for 20 overs on the field.”

Australia’s leading bowlers, Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa, have been working with David on his bowling. “It was really nice playing with Ash, [and] a bowl with Zamps in between the nets, [and] remove ideas from them,” said David [also] bowling coaches, and it’s really good to get different opinions from people. But again, it’s about what works for me too [about] I found my own way.”

“I think that’s the nature of the World Cup, isn’t it? You play every team at once,” said David. “You might get a double team if you’re playing in the finals, so you’re not going up against a lot of these guys; you’re not looking at them too much. I don’t think there’s anyone in our team who’s going to be playing against him. [Rishad]. So we will take him.”

“I’ve practiced a lot against spin in the last few weeks. The day before the game or a few days before the game [though], it’s not that much stress. You know if you can change a lot in that last stage”

David has been spinning in preparation for all this, but at this point, with the game so close, it’s not good to think too much about it. “I’ve practiced a lot against spin in the last few weeks. The day before the game or a few days before the game [though], it’s not a lot of pressure,” he said. “You know you can’t change too much in that last stage. You hear just fine [in the nets], ticking a few boxes, having fun in training. That’s what’s most important to me [so close to the game].”

One thing he will be looking at in particular on the upcoming game day, is the direction of the wind on the ground. “Yes, air is important. You hit the ball in the air, [and] it becomes shorter by 50 meters; you get one breath, [and] you can’t stop it. I think one night in St. Lucia, if you hit the ball on the ground, it goes out of the field,” said David.

“So yeah, all of that comes into things when you’re in the middle, you weigh the risks, you weigh what’s the best option to end, and I think … if you can quickly summarize the experience, you have an idea of ​​what the risks are if you have to deal with them [the wind] out there. It is the strongest in the Caribbean. Some islands are windier than others. “
