NICE TO GET LAST BALL SIX SAYS PLUNKETT
In the first One Day International against Sri Lanka, Liam Plunkett hit a massive six in the last ball of the England innings to tie the match. After the last ball six, England managed to snatch the victory from the jaws of Sri Lanka. Liam Plunkett said about the last ball six that, “It was nice to get that one out. They bowled well at the death and obviously Woakes and Jos Buttler put us in a great position after a few early wickets.”
Liam Plunkett further went on to say, “We bat all the way down, me and Rashid are 10 and 11, so we’re backing ourselves to take it as deep as possible. I just feel if you’re in at the end, you give yourself the best chance to clear the ropes and lucky enough it was the last ball.”
Liam Plunkett also said about the batting depth of England that, “It shows the depth we’ve got. It’s good for the team isn’t it? You know you can carry on all the way through an innings. If you struggle up top then hopefully the end can get a big score and if not you can carry on from ball one.”
England were 82/6 in 18th over. After that Chris Woakes (95* off 92 balls) and Jos Buttler (93 off 99 balls) put 138 runs stand for 7th wicket and England could manage to stay alive in the game and after that Liam Plunkett played a handy knock of 22* off 11 balls with 2 fours and a massive six. Eventually England managed to tie the match.
