Marcus Stoinis: All-rounder Marcus Stoinis believes he is fully fit again and will be available for bowling in Australia’s upcoming T20 World Cup prep game against India on Wednesday, having played alone as a batsman in the three-walk victory. in the first preparation game against India.
New Zealand on Monday night. He is confident that he could bowl against India on Wednesday if necessary, just three days later in Australia’s World Cup opening match against South Africa.
Marcus Stoinis was 28-for-23 as Australia scratched home with a single ball. It was just his second game after a thigh injury suffered while bowling in the first game of the IPL second leg on 22 September.
Stoinis played in the Delhi Capitals IPL qualifying loss to the Kolkata Knight Riders, but again only as a hitter. Despite running and bowling on the nets, he still trains his hamstring with all his strength and mileage.
Stoinis also suffered a minor back injury while training in Perth before flying to the United Arab Emirates to resume the IPL.
“[My] hammy is good. I didn’t bowl tonight, but it’s tracking pretty well,” Stoinis said. “It feels like it’s on the right track and it’s ready to go. I guess I’ll probably bowl in that next game.”
One of the main debates within the Australian pre-World Cup camp is whether to choose five specialized bowlers. As they did during their run to No.1 in the ICC T20I world rankings in 201920, or whether to play with only four bowlers from specialty bowling pins and use Stoinis. Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh as the fifth pitchers.
Marsh was used as the fifth bowling option against New Zealand but was killed. Taking 53 runs in four overs, including 25 on his first power play.
Stoinis bowling is required if Australia opts for a four-way bowling attack, as it did against New Zealand.
The other side effect of the Australian four-bowling strategy. Is that it forces the spinners to throw bowls in the power play. Even though Ashton Agar and Adam Zampa were very good at bowling with two men. Charging only ten runs after his two overs combined, with Zampa. Taking over the wicket by Martin Guptill.
Australia showed their batting hand with Marsh hitting third and Steven Smith fourth ahead of Stoinis as Maxwell rested. Matthew Wade finished sixth and kept the wicket. With Australia’s reserve goalie Josh Inglis playing as the specialty bat. But was demoted to ninth to give Agar and Starc some practice in a chase setting.
Smith and Stoinis combined for a 48-run, 39-ball position to control the center of the chase. However, Australia lost 3-1 and needed Hagar, Starc, and Inglis to drive them home. But Stoinis was pleased with his own form and the team‘s performance despite the obvious rust.
“I felt all right. It was nice to spend some time in the middle. I’ve spent a lot of time in the nets lately. So it was nice to get in the middle and just build a little partnership. And do what is required for the team.”I think the way we were scoring was fine. I think ideally. We wouldn’t have lost those three wickets for not many, but I think the scoring rate was fine. We had it in control. Ash and Starcy got it over at the end, and Ingo actually.”
