AUS vs PAK | Nathan Ellis will have a super future because he’s prepared to challenge himself each and every day, says Aaron Finch

Australia were playing without the services of some major players like David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, and Glenn Maxwell. However, the side had three T20I debutants in Marnus Labushcagne, Cameron Green, and Ben Dwarshius. Batting first, Pakistan posted a total of 162/8 courtesy of a half-century from Babar Azam. He played a knock of 66 runs from 46 balls. 

"He's someone who brings an unbelievable attitude, an unbelievable work ethic to games and training. His energy, his intensity, his ability to learn really quickly, whether it be with the new ball, old ball, talking to experienced players, coaches, he's just got an amazing attitude that he brings to the table,” he stated.

"He's been fantastic. Nothing seems to faze him. The attitude that he brings out in the middle is brilliant. It's good fun batting with him. He's somebody who again takes in so much information and his ability to walk out of a hotel room after seven days of isolation and start off really well was outstanding,” he stated.

"And he's just someone again, like Nathan Ellis, the guys love being around and love having him in squads. He's a super player. He's got so much talent as well. So yeah, I've been really impressed with Josh."

"It's something that I tend to do," Finch said. "It's after my initial eight to 10 balls, when you start to get a bit more of a rhythm that I tend to go to that one. Especially, when guys are angling in and attacking the stumps quite a bit more on low bouncing wickets in particular,” he concluded.

"I should have gone to it earlier, shouldn't I. But it's just one of those things. I mean, you get knocked over early. Today the wicket played really nicely against the new ball. There probably wasn't quite as much swing initially. So, yeah, slight tinkering with technique, but that's nothing uncommon."
