England v West Indies, first Twenty20, The Oval
Andrew Miller Oval
September 23, 2011
Graeme Swann in the first game as England captain could not, statistically, have gone better, that raged in England win their first ten-wicket Twenty20 format. Similarly, his big night and the decision paid dividends nice for statistical purposes, like Ravi Bopara has been entrusted with the Pacers in the medium-full quota of four overs, and was responsible for the analysis of four English records 10
"If you give someone the chance to bowl at the time of death, which is never normally is, and April 10 will be 3.4 overs, I'll take all the praise, thank you very much," he joked Swann, who has supported his decision was influenced by the vision that Bopara was more than his batting practice. "It takes the death of a world class bowler to get me out of the net three times each. I'm just glad I had the opportunity to be the captain to show everyone how good he is."
Joking aside, the performance of England in the evening was relentless. At 42 to 0 after 24 balls, West Indies briefly seemed capable of putting up a fight, but when Samit Patel had made the first breakthrough in the final Powerplay, were to lose all ten wickets in his being beat almost one more. It was a situation that left Bopara feel "ashamed" of having pocketed a record that will be difficult for many of his colleagues bowling regular review, but in terms of career progression, work at night was another milestone in its development omnidirectional.
Since then, he dug into the Oval Test victory in 44 largely forgotten, not against India, Bopara has enjoyed the most productive month of his career because of his three hundreds in a row against West Indies in the spring of 2009 . His ODI series against India including, Lord gutsy 96 not out and 37 of 22 balls with Jonny Bairstow in Cardiff, and now this show - but the false gains against a team outclassed the West Indies proved to be - may still be significant when it comes to Twenty20 world is a slow, low bridges in Sri Lanka in September.
"I think Twenty20 cricket Pacers half in the middle overs are very important," said Bopara. "As the spinners you have to put up with the ball, try to hit the ball, and in large projects like this, it can be very useful. I think my bowling in the subcontinent, where it can be very small and difficult to achieve in time, so hopefully have a chance, especially if Graeme is the captain. "
Bopara, however, knows that a lot can happen between now and then, what is the lesson he learned from units that form the last international two years ago. "You can never be on a site it is necessary to maintain performance," he said. "I just want to take one step at a time and not too far from myself, because it happened when I saw hundreds of these three in a row. I was a little 'in front of me, saying that over the next five games, I wanted to make it eight in a row. And when you get above the station, then falls very difficult.
"But I feel much better player now in England, especially in the last month. There is much in my own mind, because it's easy when things are going well, have a mentality like that. This is when things are not going so well when it is very difficult. However, only 40 in the proof that freedom and I played with great spirit in which free-dayers. I said, yourself, and I tried to hit the ball for Essex number of years. I am glad that is out, and hopefully that continues. "
Swann harbors similar feelings about his Twenty20 captain. With Stuart Broad is unlikely to feature again this year, and Eoin Morgan suffered a shoulder surgery, is a very real prospect that his role will be expanded to a broad support at the Eden Gardens on October 29. "I want to believe if we get to this point, and the guys are not involved," he said. "I hope I will do a good job on Sunday, and my name will always be in the hat, because I enjoyed every minute of the day."
Swann especially liked the song in full support of the 17,000 people who braved the cold conditions and a strange set of circumstances to get fully behind the team - to the extent that England will not be used to receive this summer. "And 'the crowd before we have played in front of England in the last two months I really on our side," he said. "The difference between the noise when we hit the wickets and boundaries, and the fever pitch for the Indian batsmen [in ODIs] E 'was great to watch. A lot of that has to do with how well played this summer, and hopefully continue to do so. "
Darren Sammy, defeated West Indies captain, "took on the chin, and acknowledged that - even with an excess of inexperienced players on their side - England are a formidable unit at this time." There are No 1 and play at No. 1, "he said." All the boys, although at first, just enough experience in the game of cricket. It shows in their game, they are quite confident that we can have a page of his book.
"We had a good start, but when we leave we will not bounce back," said Sammy. "We can cite the areas where we went wrong and encourage them, but we played the No. 1 team. Time. Whatever they do, and he who comes in just a trend to integrate into the team immediately. We have our goals and we want to win cricket matches, but it was about seeing who could compete at this level. "
