Holder on his role amongst the bowling group
Jason Holder, who was named the Player of the Match reflected on his death bowling and bowling yorkers from round the wicket, “Yeah, it’s something I’ve been practising now for a little while, you know, I’ve just been happy that, you know, I’ve been comfortable enough in the game to go round the wicket at times. I try to change the angles, as you’ve said. I think for me, it’s just trying not to be too predictable. I’m also just varying with the positions at the crease and just trying to execute a few more yorkers and maybe on the wide line as well. So for me, it’s just trying to be a little bit more unpredictable and then at times, you know, understanding when I could change the angle to a particular player.
Holder also opened up about his role amongst the bowling group, “Yeah, I think one of my key roles is obviously just to help the guys as much as possible, especially when we’re under pressure. For me, I just try to share as much information as possible. I don’t know it all, but I mean, I have played enough cricket that I can give a few more insights as to, you know what, a few suggestions. I think our bowlers have been very receptive to it, you know, credit to everyone. I think we’ve really, you know, sat and spoken about a few things at length, you know, which has really helped us in our planning and preparation. So credit to the boys again. You know, I think for me, it’s just keeping my head above water in terms of sharing as much information as I possibly can share, hearing what you guys have said as well too. I think it’s important to listen to them as well at times and not tell them everything. And then understanding, you know, when to or when not to.”
