Aaron Finch happy to demote himself in Australian World Cup batting order
As David Warner is likely to return for the World Cup, Australia’s opening combination for the May-June tournament in England remains uncertain.
Aaron Finch had opened with Warner during the 2015 World Cup. In the absence of Warner, Finch produced stands of zero, three, 76, 83 and 193 with Usman Khawaja in the recent five ODIs against India.
“If that means me batting at six, I’ll comfortably do that. If it’s at the top, three or four it doesn’t matter. Personal results aren’t what this side is about. I think that’s what has made our improvement as dramatic and quick as it has been,” Finch said.
“If you go in just solely focused on scoring a hundred or thinking ‘if I bat five I’m not going to get a hundred, I don’t get enough opportunity’, that’s not what is best,” he added.With Finch’s place in the team continues to rumble amid the tough selection created by Warner and Smith, he has been locked in to lead Australia at the World Cup.
“I still feel really good with my game my rhythm is there. There’s probably been some times where you start doubting your technique – for me it’s about going back to what’s worked for me in the past. Some people would have taken a bit more notice over the last couple of weeks,” he said.
