MI’s bowling coach Bond addressed the media on behalf of the crew, starting together with his trustworthy evaluation of the rating that the M Chinnaswamy Stadium presents and “how we could have maximized our chances.”
“I think 170 runs on such a small ground is not great. We left runs out on the park. I think if we went 190-plus we had a chance. Then we just weren`t as accurate with the ball as we needed to be,” he mentioned.
The Kiwi legend additionally confused the essential factors the place Mumbai presumably may have turned the competition of their favour.
“We knew how important the opening partnership was to break, but we couldn`t break it, and we couldn`t even apply pressure for sustained periods. We lacked a little bit of control of the ball and Faf (Faf du Plessis) and Virat (Virat Kohli) played beautifully as well. So I suppose today, in all three phases, we were outplayed,” Bond mentioned.
Lessons have been taught early on with the ball, with Mohammed Siraj on the forefront. Bond credited how essential the RCB pacer`s opening spell was within the sport.
“You look at those first three overs from Siraj. He didn`t give any width, he gave nothing up. He used his bouncer beautifully. He gave us nothing to hit, forced us in to take some shots, and got wickets from it,” Bond added.
“We were always well behind. We had a long batting order, we tried to up the ante, and we got to 170. So I think for us, we know that if we can get a decent start, we can score all sorts of runs with the power that we have. But that opening spell was brilliant and too good for us today,” the Mumbai bowling coach mentioned.The end result apart, our bowling coach expressed his blissful ideas on soaking within the noise and the environment of the IPL cricket returning to the house and away format.
“It was great to be back out on Chinnaswamy. With that atmosphere, we are just back into the traditional IPL. I think everyone missed it. Now we`ve got a few new players. They would have found it pretty intimidating but it`s much better for the experience. I think everyone`s just excited to be back into the traditional IPL. Even for me, standing out in the middle today, feeling that energy from the crowd and the noise was quite special,” Bond added.
“You realise what you`d missed. I`m sure we`ll be better in our first home match against Chennai in six days,” he mentioned.
