Faf du Plessis | Texas Super Kings
I have always enjoyed my cricket the most when there’s that extra responsibility on my own game and leading from the front. From a young age, I have always enjoyed that and that’s something I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of.
For me, it makes me sharp, keeps me sharp, keeps me engaged in the game. (On retiring out on 91) Donovan has been hitting the ball so well, his six-hitting capability has been so good.
I know it was a trickier wicket than the other wickets but I felt his power could give us a little bit more. I could still hit one or two sixes of course, but I backed him to put us another 10-15 runs above what the score that we got.
I am a big fan of it (retiring out). The game is becoming very tactical in that sense. (More optimism this season?) Definitely, our squad depth is better and we’ve adjusted to the conditions nicely in the three venues.
Much slower surface that requires a little more cricket nuance in playing cricket shots. We changed our bowling attack a little bit. All in all, very happy. Disappointed with yesterday’s result, we got ourselves into a good position to win that game and didn’t.
