Aaron Finch Press Conference Before 1st T20 India vs Australia 2018

Aaron Finch Press Conference Before 1st T20 India vs Australia 2018 #aaronfinch #pressconference #indvsaus Aaron Finch, Australia's limited-overs captain, has backed the national side to turn their sagging fortunes around ahead of the three-match T20I series versus the formidable Indian side. Australia were whitewashed 0-3 by Pakistan in the T20I series in UAE and also slipped to a 21-run loss against South Africa in a T20I game at the Carrara Oval last week. After Australia's loss in the one-off game, Faf du Plessis, the South African captain, had said that the home side was "tame" on the field. Incidentally, under Langer's tenure as the head coach, Australia haven't yet won a series across the three formats of the game. However, Finch sounded confident of playing a positive brand of cricket in the upcoming series against the No. 2 ranked T20I side. "We're still very confident in this format," the Australian captain told reporters. "It's going to be a great opportunity for us to come out and express ourselves, play some great attacking cricket, take the game on and really try and take it to India. India are in great form and we feel as though we've been building really nicely without getting results going our way so far. So it'll be good fun," he added. Finch also acknowledged India as a powerhouse, especially in the batting department. Virat Kohli has been in prime form evidenced by the fact that he has notched up a whopping 2411 runs across the three formats of the game this year. Rohit Sharma, the opener, has also been in impressive touch, having scored two hundreds in his last four T20Is. Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul are the other mainstays of the Indian batting line-up in the shortest format of the game. "You can't underestimate anyone in the Indian side. Obviously, Virat is probably the best player in the world at the moment and has been for some time in the two shorter formats in particular. "They've got dangerous guys all through. You've got guys who've made double hundreds in one-day cricket and played so much T20 cricket and are so experienced that if you take them for granted, they'll hurt you badly. There's obviously been a bit of focus around Virat, but no more than Rohit, Shikhar (Dhawan) or KL, or any of these guys who can be as damaging as anyone on their day," he noted. The first T20I of the series will be played at the Gabba in Brisbane on November 21. The second and third games of the rubber will take place at the MCG and SCG on November 23 and 25 respectively.

Sarfraz Ahmed Press Conference After Lose 1st Test Match Against NZ || Pak vs Nz Test Series 2018 #1sttest2018 #pakvsnz #nzvspak Sarfraz said reliving Pakistan's collapse in the chase. "The way we started off yesterday made us feel that we will be able to chase down the target. We lost three wickets today, then there was a partnership and then again, we lost wickets. A batsman needs to spend time on this wicket. There has been a trend, of both teams, losing wickets in clumps. We should have chased it down. It is indeed very disappointing. "I think our team was not able to handle the pressure. Babar Azam's run out, when 40 runs were left in the chase, can be termed as the turning point as it initiated the collapse." There were questions about the game plan for the day. Naturally, such a performance does merit such queries. Despite Pakistan becoming a regular in pulling off such collapses, this one stunned everyone. "The message for the batsmen was to continue playing positive cricket like we had the last day," Sarfraz said. "Our dismissals have been very soft because of which are hurting us. This is what we must look at as a batting unit. Our batsmen have taken starts but haven't been able to prolong their innings. Crediting New Zealand for bowling well on the last day, he added: "The behaviour of the Abu Dhabi pitch has changed over the years and now there's a lot of spin on offer here. Credit goes to Ajaz Patel the way he bowled on it." The second of the three-match Test series begins on Saturday in Dubai. And, after such a demoralizing defeat it remains to be seen how Pakistan will bounce back. "Of course, the result is disappointing. We had the match in our control, but we let it go. We will try to forget what has happened and focus on what's next."
