SRH vs LSG: Travis Head happy with his spin-hitting ahead of T20 World Cup in West Indies

Yeah, nice one. Nice we’re able to get away again. Abby and I are very pleased with how we will execute the power play and I’m very happy with the way we’re able to go about outside the power play, picked out targets, we’re able to, yeah, get the job done. At the at the time out we spoke about net run rate being important and and keeping the foot down South. Very pleased how it turned out. I don’t think we could have ever expected chasing it like that. He looked like a tough wicket in the first innings he looked like it was he’s holding and and and and a slow pitch. So I guess knowing that it’s nothing bad. I didn’t know that the the power play’s important trying to maximise that and we played beautifully. We were able to get a hell at a rate which was nice yeah. And then once we got going on those first two or three overs it was just about trying to maximise that as as much as we can and felt we picked our targets and then played really well. So after couple of losses before the last match was there any conscious before that maybe kind of failure. I mean to perform to be good starts what you always want to perform you always want to be consistent. Yeah you always want to try and be doing the job. It’s not always going to happen in T20 cricket. I felt like the way we’ve been playing it’s been has been been great. We’re going to have ups and downs. We’ve had that. Nice to be able to chase a score tonight. Obviously being put under pressure by them batting and a couple of times we’ve chased throughout the season we’ve been put under pressure. So nice to be able to do the job tonight chasing. And yeah, looking forward to the next two games, being at home as well. So very exciting. Yeah, it’s massive. Obviously it’s important to win at home. If you can win at home and then sneak a couple away wins, you give yourself the best chance. So I felt like I’ve played really well here. It suited us to suit our game plan and yeah, tonight was was exceptional. The way we bowled to keep them to that score and the way we batted was it was awesome. So a very good win. Obviously we have a few days off now. We’ve got a pretty big break before our next couple of games, but I think that comes at a good time and everyone goes into that break excited and and and energised and then we’ve got two home games. So hard to not be excited about. This is your first season of Sunday today so far. So how are you doing the season of playing? Yeah, I’ve loved it. Obviously not knowing a lot before I come here and being fortunate to have a couple of familiar faces in Pat and Dan and obviously hearing great things about the ground and the crowd and and whatnot and nice to just be able to come here and contribute. I wasn’t sure if I was going to play or or whatnot. So nice to get a go. Nice to be performing and the partnership with Abby’s been fantastic. He’s such a exciting talent for Indian cricket and exceptional. I think we can and we we complement each other so well and he’s very, very enjoyable to be around. He’s so excited and and and and thinks about the game and yeah he’s got a lot of energy so he’s he’s a great partner that you should be involved in. How important is in forming the idea ahead of the world. Yeah. Again it’s yeah, when whenever you’re playing you want to be as consistent as you can. You want to be getting runs. It’s been nice to be in the runs and nice to be playing well and that’s not going to guarantee anything in the West Indies. But he gives myself the best chance to being in a really good mindset, working hard at training on. I think we’ll face a fair bit of spin in the Caribbean and and the wickets might become tougher as the tournament goes. So very pleased with how I was able to play spin tonight and the things that I’m working on at training are are somewhat working at the moment but trying to stay relaxed as I have done for the last couple of years and and be ready to go. No certainly not. I think I guess that Kings game is a is a good blueprint for us in the way we’re able to go about that game and it’s not always going to work at the top of the order. We’re going to lose wickets but we want to be brave through that whole middle and Natasha’s played some unbelievable innings. Obviously we got classy and Samard tops it off for us. So we, I think we got real consistency through I guess one thing tonight they they don’t get a hit which is probably the only negative about all of that is that the middle order. But means we’re playing well but everyone’s high confidence, everyone’s playing well. I think we’re not we’re not dependent on the top order. Yes we’re playing well, but I don’t I don’t think it defines the team. I felt like we’ve got a really strong middle order and when we’re in those positions we were able to find ourselves to get to a score. So yeah, I think we’re very well well-rounded at the moment.
