As a former top-order enforcer, Aaron Finch knows how to put pressure back on the bowlers, and that’s what he has implored Australia’s batsmen to do, especially against spin, at the World Cup.
Former Australian white-ball cricket captain Aaron Finch has urged Australia’s batting line-up to adopt a more aggressive attitude to spin bowling after India’s masterful trio strangled them and kept them to a losing score in Sunday’s World Cup match in Chennai.
“Part of it comes down to how India bowled spin, but we also need to look at the way that Australia batted. There was a clear plan among the group to be proactive, to try to limit dot balls and rotate strike against what they knew would be a world-class group of spinners. “It needs a mindset shift, to look to be on the front foot a little more and take some calculated risks.”When dew fell in the evening, neither of Australia’s spinners, Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell, were able to exercise anything like the same hold on the Indian batsmen. After an early scare when they lost their first three batsmen for ducks, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul shepherded the home team to a comfortable victory.
The other is whether Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, for all their accomplishments in Test cricket, can force the pace when needed in the 50-over game. The same question could be asked of Cameron Green. Australia might be able to afford one batsman who moves through the gears slowly and methodically, but not three. That probably means that if Marcus Stoinis is fit for Thursday’s match, he will replace either Green or Labuschagne.
