'We're right on our way' — captain gung-ho about Manchester Super Giants's chances on tricky pitch
Manchester Super Giants · ScoreBlink
"The ball was turning only once in a way, and when it turns, it's slow turn, which gives the batters time to adjust," the captain says after day one.
What it means
The side's recent form has been shaped as much by conditions as by selection, and Manchester Super Giants will take confidence from the way the order has adapted between formats.
We back the group. The preparation has been good and the rest takes care of itself.
The management have been consistent in public about wanting continuity, and the balance of the XI reflects that — a settled top order, with the flexibility to lengthen the batting when the surface demands it.
What comes next
Attention now turns to the remainder of the schedule, where Manchester Super Giants face a run of fixtures that will test the depth of the squad more than any single result has so far.
