“At the second issues usually are not going our approach. It is getting increasingly more troublesome however the extra cricket we play, our efficiency will develop. This is simply one thing we have to settle for, keep in it, and struggle, we’re a brand new group. We are going to be pissed off, we’re going to be disillusioned in ourselves, however it’s what it’s. We cannot come on a regular basis and carry out the way in which everybody needs us to carry out.
“We can’t come and win every single game. But these are the times we have to stick together as a group. It is difficult, and everyone is going to say that we are losing cricket games, but we are playing cricket games every two days, and it is not that easy on the guys, as well. I am happy the guys are actually fighting it out. It is not that easy to just come on a cricket field, show up and win in cricket every single time, especially when you don’t have a pool of players. It is just 15 players, and four players are injured, so I am proud of the boys.”
