NZ Vs PAK: New Zealand skipper Michael Bracewell has hailed the performances of his ‘young guns’, as a fresh-looking New Zealand side thumped Pakistan in the 3rd and final ODI of the series to seal a 3-0 whitewash on Saturday, April 5.
It was an enjoyable day, always nice to finish the season on a high, wanted to put up a good performance in front of a great crowd, thankful we managed to do that,” Bracewell said afterwards. Wicket played well, credit to groundsmen (after the relentless rain), thought it was a great game of cricket. Obviously a reduced one but enjoyable. With the reduced number of resources, you get a chance to put down the foot a little bit earlier.
Seeing the guys come in and do well is most pleasing and winning the series is an added bonus. It was great to see different guys step up at different times.
We are clear about the style we want to play…(on fast bowlers) they carried through to ODIs, pretty amazing to watch them, they are fast, aggressive and used their height and bounce. We found a way to get to an above par total and the way bowlers bowled, it was always going to be enough.
