T20 World Cup 2022: Try to be calm in situations when the adrenaline is flowing – Anrich Nortje

 

South African ace paceman Anrich Nortje stated that he tries to be calm in situations when the adrenaline is flowing. Nortje mainly bowls in the Powerplay overs and also in the death bowlers for South Africa, when it is imperative for the bowlers to keep their nerves in check.

Nortje was at his lethal best against Bangladesh as he scalped four wickets and conceded only 10 runs in the 3.3 overs he bowled. The gun fast bowler accounted for Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, and Soumya Sarkar.

Nortje can breathe down the neck of the opposition with his extra pace and he can also get the ball to move both ways.

Meanwhile, as per the current ICC rules, only one bouncer is allowed in limited-overs cricket and Nortje is hopeful that two bumpers will be permitted in the future.

“Hopefully somewhere in the future we can have two bouncers in an over. That would be unbelievable. But on wickets like this, you have one bounce in an over, so you have to try and just sort of time it properly and not to get carried away.”

“Sometimes it can look nice, but it’s not effective. So try to be as effective as possible. Like you say, try to keep the emotions intact. Just try and be calm in situations where I think adrenaline is flowing, and I think most of the time you should come out on top just as a bowler and from an execution point of view,” said Nortje in the pre-match press conference.

Rain has played killjoy so far in the T20 World Cup in Australia however the weather is expected to be fine for the doubleheader on Sunday in Perth.

“There’s a possibility of other games getting rained out. There’s possibilities of maybe this and that happening, and then we could go through. Or we can just try and win all four or all of our games, and it makes it simple.”

“You sort of know day by day what you have to do. It’s to try and get the win. To make it easier for ourselves and not to think too far ahead, taking it day by day by trying to get the victories on every game day, that’s the only way forward.”
