“Yeah, tough work is probably an understatement. He’s an incredible bowler. I was probably naïve going into it, never faced him before and (thinking) he’ll be fine. But he’s an incredible bowler that has a great skill but just relentless ability to pitch the ball in the area where you don’t want as a batter,” McSweeney revealed.
He registered scores of 10, 0, 39, 10*, 9 & 4 as Bumrah was all over him throughout the series. He constantly beat his bat with impeccable lines and lengths and had the batter on the sea just like the other Australian batters.
What gave Nathan McSweeney the confidence?
“So, it was a very tough challenge but also gave me a hope that no one kind of had great success against him and everyone was trying to tackle him at the same time and no one was playing him with ease, which gave me a little bit of confidence,” .said McSweeney.
