2017 ICC Champions Trophy: Taking On England Game As A Quarter Final – Adam Zampa

Australia have all the reasons now to feel a little jolted and disgruntled. After putting up an emphatic bowling performance against Bangladesh in their Group A game of the ICC Champions Trophy at the Oval, the Aussies ended up sharing a point, with the nature takings its toll on the game.

To further add insult to the injury, the Kangaroos were a bare four overs away from securing a win as per the Duckworth-Lewis method. In a tournament as competitive as the Champions Trophy, even a single point could have a lot in store.

Leg-spinner Adam Zampa, playing his first ODI in England, had a productive day, as he chipped in with a  couple of wickets to dent Bangladesh’s innings. Being in that Aussie camp, Zampa was indeed a little flabbergasted but admitted that the side would now take the England game as an ultimate challenge and treat it as a quarter-final encounter.

“It would be frustrating if the results don’t go our way towards the end of the tournament,” Zampa said. “If we do scrape into the finals, then it doesn’t really matter. It is what it is at the moment. If we can play well against England and get into the finals, none of what has happened really matters. “We just spoke about it in the team meeting then. We’re looking at it as a quarter-final. Australians in ICC tournaments in the past have thrived on that pressure and hopefully, we can do the same.”

Adding more about his role in the tournament in the matches to follow, the leg-spinner said,

“I think we’ve seen with selections in Australia and other places, with the firepower and the depth that we have with the quicks and the allrounders and Heady bowling really well, I only come into consideration when the wickets suit. I think a used wicket like today was somewhere I could play a role.”

He concluded by mentioning about the mood in that Australian camp during the rain break.

“I reckon I’m the guy the blokes go to for a bit of a mood change. The last couple of hours or so I was trying to keep the boys up and about. Undies on the head a little bit when you’re watching the rain. Try and make the boys laugh wherever I can.”
