[Saba Sports News] Australia’s recent ODI performances, where they conceded high totals, have raised concerns ahead of the World Cup. Despite this, pacer Sean Abbott remains optimistic about the team’s preparations.
Abbott acknowledged that Australia’s recent bowling performances were far from ideal, allowing India to post big scores. However, he emphasized that the team is communicating well and believes they are moving in the right direction.
While they have struggled with execution, Abbott praised their death bowling and believes it can improve further. He expressed confidence in their skilled bowling attack and their ability to turn things around before the World Cup.
One key issue Abbott pointed out was their failure to hit the stumps consistently, allowing Indian batters to capitalize on loose deliveries. He noted that when they miss their targets, the opposition takes advantage. Abbott, who conceded 1 for 91 in his 10 overs, admitted his own disappointment and emphasized the need to maintain accurate line and length to build pressure.
Despite recent challenges, Abbott remains positive about his own form and the team’s prospects, acknowledging that they need to address their execution issues quickly to perform better in upcoming matches.
