Australian opener Aaron finch has said , he is fine with Australia going in as favourite for the upcoming Worldcup as they have the home advantage and the team is playing well as a unit. Also the Australian cricket team is placed at number one spot in the ICC world rankings after beating South Africa 4-1 in November.
Finch said “That suits well with us – I don’t think there’s any more pressure or any reason to fear playing with that tag, as soon as you fear failure your judgement gets clouded and you make poor decisions, but we’re going to go out there confident. We’re going to go out there and take the game on.” But he also added that it does not count that much once you are out there in the centre. Any top team can beat any one on a given day.
The Melbourne Renegades batsman have had an average Big Bash till now. He also quoted ‘”I know I haven’t made many runs in the Big Bash, but I think I’m still hitting them well,” he said.”I’m still very confident going into this ODI series and then on to the World Cup. 2015 World cup is going to be the first World cup for Aaron Finch as Australia sets their dream to win the cup for the record fifth time. He also is looking to renewing his partnership with the inform left hader David Warner.”It’s just great to bat with Davey – he takes a lot of pressure off anyone he bats with just by the way he intimidates the opposition,” he said.
Adding to this When asked about the sub-continent teams, he said ” they will find it tough to handle the bounce and the pace , also the grounds are much bigger as compared to back in India, Pakistan or Sri lanka. Australia and South Africa will be one battle to watch out for.
