Peter Moores Thinks he has Found a ‘Way’ to Get the Desired Results

Peter Moores is a well-recognized name in the cricketing world. His coaching abilities have done wonders for England as well as the County Champions of this season Nottinghamshire.

Nottinghamshire completed the domestic double this season after winning the 50-over competition and the NatWest T20 Blast. Moreover, they are also leading the table in the County Division two points table. Moores who has had two stints with English national cricket team is all praises for his players.

Moores had his last stint with the English team in 2014-2015, helped Nottinghamshire to win their maiden T20 trophy on Saturday. He believes he has found a way to deliver when it matters the most. Moores believes winning both the tournaments has been achieved as a result of hard work and dedication,

“You don’t imagine you’re going to have a season when you win both one-dayers. You target them, of course,  you do.”

Moores was handed over the reins when Nottinghamshire was lagging in the second division. Moores aimed to bring the team back in the first division and play against the best teams in England.

“I think when we started we had a real focus on trying to get promoted out of the second to the first division. The one-day trophies, we knew we were a good side, so we were going to go hard at it.” Moores added.

Moores credited his players for the hard work put in throughout the season,

“Credit to the lads, they’ve worked really hard and probably hit more balls than anybody else. We’ve done loads of work going through, we’ve had a load of fun doing it, and somewhere along the line we’ve found this way of people delivering when it really counts in pretty much all forms of the game at the moment.”

Samit Patel has been a transition for the team, and his all round performance has done wonders for the side in both the 50 over and T20 format. He has been trying to get back in the national team and has worked on his fitness during his time away from the national squad. When asked about Patel, Moores said,

“He’s always been a really good player, there’s no doubt about that, but I think he’s found a new level of tempo, maturity whereby he’s becoming very consistent as a batter.”

Patel started his international career when Moores was the coach of the national team. He added, 

“He’s got his own style of play which I actually think internationally suits well because he sits back a little bit, he doesn’t go at the moving ball quite the same as some people, and he’s a bloody good cricketer, I can hear his frustration at times because he’s played well, the key is to keep doing it, keep doing that level of work. You’ve had all sorts of things talked about Samit and his fitness and whatever, but he works hard, and people give him credit for. He plays a long day today, he does the all rounder’s role and he’s as fresh now as he was at the start of the day. He’s not a bloke who cramps up or anything like that, he just kind of does it and you’ve got to give him credit for that,”
