ISLAMABAD: Zimbabwe batting coach Stuart Matsikenyeri Thursday was looking for turnaround in fortunes in the series against Pakistan, saying that sheer hard work in the nets would help his batsmen put up a better performance.
In a video talk Thursday from Harare, a day ahead of the start of the second Test against Pakistan, Matsikenyeri said tough practice in the nets would make a difference.
“We have worked hard in the nets after the first Test loss. Now it is all about applying yourself to the task. We could not achieve what we were aiming at in the first Test where our batting did not come up to the mark. Now it is time for leading batsmen to take responsibility. We are already one Test down but I believe we can put up a far better show to make a difference this time. It is all about getting mentally tougher and accepting the challenge,” Matsikenyeri said.
