After a rollercoaster start to the World Cup battling back spasms and other issues, Adam Zampa is in a “good place” to fulfil his ”huge role” as he tracks towards a record held by Shane Warne.
Australian coach Andrew McDonald heaped praise on the star leg-spinner who delivered four wickets in his team’s last-start win over Pakistan despite his selection being a “last-minute decision” after continuing to battle his back issues.
Having conceded 1-123 in two underwhelming games to start the tournament as Australia’s No.1 spinner, Zampa has found his groove as the team has improved and McDonald was hopeful a better physical state could lead to even better performances as the Aussies push to make the semi-finals.“It was a nervy time leading in to the last game and an incredible effort for him to get up. It was a last-minute decision. We were meeting at 1.20 and he was declared fit at 1.19.
“We know how critically important he is in the middle overs to take wickets and right now he’s tracking as the second best white-ball spinner to Shane Warne. Zampa, who confirmed he collided with a pool wall while swimming underwater without goggles at a team hotel before the tournament began, has also been battling a “glute niggle” on top of the back spasms at the World Cup.
