Tournament records and personal bests came by the bucketloads but Nathan Coulter-Nile fears his West Indies heroics may not be enough to make Australia바카라s next XI. (AUS Vs WI HIGHLIGHTS | SCORECARD | SCHEDULE)
The bowling all-rounder made 92 with the bat to dig his side out of trouble en route to hitting a record score for a No. 8 in the ICC Men바카라s Cricket World Cup 2019.
But a lack of impact with ball in hand has left the man himself concerned, returning figures of 0/70 in the 15-run victory at Trent Bridge in what is his strongest discipline.
Two wicketless games have so far come his way and while a maiden half-century in ODI cricket is in the bag, Coulter-Nile knows selection for the game against India on Sunday rests on other factors.
바카라We바카라ve got two world-class bowlers in Jason Behrendorff and Kane Richardson waiting to play and I바카라m not in the team to score runs, hopefully the top order can do that,바카라 he said.
바카라I wouldn바카라t be surprised if I didn바카라t play the next game 바카라 my job is to take wickets and I바카라ve had two wicketless games so we바카라ll have to see how we go.
바카라I think it바카라s good to have competition and it wouldn바카라t be good if we had no one pushing you trying to get better so again I love it.바카라
Coulter-Nile바카라s efforts lifted Australia from 38/4 to 288 all out, a total that proved narrowly too good for Jason Holder바카라s West Indies, with Mitchell Starc finishing the job with a five-wicket haul.
Having a total to defend wasn바카라t just down to the 31-year-old, however, with Steve Smith playing the anchor role in scoring 73 and occupying the crease for nearly three hours.
That allowed Coulter-Nile to play a free-flowing game he himself has rarely seen, failing to take stock of his achievements until the innings headed towards its conclusion.
바카라I must have looked up and realised my score when I got to 90 바카라 then I started thinking about it, that stuffed it,바카라 he added. 바카라I saw the score and thought 바카라that바카라s a lot of runs바카라, I didn바카라t think about the century.
바카라I actually broke my bat in one of my shots, I middled a pull shot off [Sheldon] Cottrell and it split down the bottom, but I didn바카라t want to swap it.
바카라I like to play the pull shot and get on the back foot, it바카라s part of my game but it바카라s also what they were giving me so it was nice.
바카라The past two years I바카라ve had some stress injuries so all I바카라ve really been able to do is bat, I바카라ve tried to play red-ball cricket but when I went mostly to white-ball cricket, that was all I could really do.바카라
