I’m going to continue doing what I have always done, states Adam Zampa
Adam Zampa expressed faith in his abilities as he acknowledged that he didn’t have the best of World Cup campaigns but has insisted that he will continue sticking to his strengths in the Marsh Cup for South Australia. He also discussed the opening match and heaped praise on his teammate Carey.
Adam Zampa’s international career so far has been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride. Having made his ODI debut in 2016, he ended the year as the country’s leading wicket taker in the limited overs. However, a slight dip and he was soon battling for a spot in the team, until having recently recaptured his form and being included in the World Cup squad. Just five wickets in four matches at an economy of seven-plus, he was dropped from the playing XI midway through the tournament.
"I suppose the way the World Cup went people expected the leg-spinners to have a different tournament to what they did. The weather didn't help that, the wickets weren't as dry as we expected them to be. But, yeah, personally it didn't go the way I felt it should," he was quoted saying by cricket.com.au on Monday.
However, the 27-year-old playing XI seemed confident of performing well and is poised to have a successful Marsh One Day Cup. He will be featuring for the South Australia Redbacks, with whom he had ended the last edition of the tournament as the leading wicket taker with 12 from six games.
"I'm not going to change too much. I've had a really good few years in one-day cricket, particularly at the domestic level. I'm pretty consistent, so I'm going to keep it pretty simple and do what I've always done, pretty much," he added.
His team will kick start their campaign against a hard-hitting Queensland, who have already played and won a game against the New South Wales a couple of days ago.
"We know Queensland go hard and they're going to keep coming hard with the bat so it's about bowling really defensively, and trying to take wickets throughout the middle is really important. It's important to take wickets early against Queensland. They've got dangerous guys throughout," explained Zampa.
He will be sharing the field with an in-form Alex Carey, who had a statement making World Cup followed by a successful stint with Sussex in the County Championships.
"He's got some presence at the moment, Kezza. The way he's playing with the bat, the way he's kept for the last few years too, he's one of those guys who keeps getting better and better," Zampa concluded.
