I deserve to be picked for Boxing Day Test against Pakistan: Bollinger | Australia fast bowler Doug Bollinger reckons that he deserves to be included in the national squad for the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan, starting Saturday
at the MCG. Bollinger starred with eight wickets in Australia’s 35-run win over
West Indies in the third Test in Perth, but he faces a fight to retain his place
in the side, as regulars Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus are expected to be available
after recovering from their injuries. “I think I do deserve to be picked. I felt
I bowled well, but it's out of my control. Hopefully what I do on the field -
everything else will look after itself. I'll just go to Melbourne, get ready for
a game and just go from there. That's the best way to prepare,” Fox Sports quoted
Bollinger, as saying. “It would be awesome if I got picked, the ultimate, 90,000
people, a Boxing Day Test - everyone wants to play that. So, if I get that opportunity
it would be another tick off the board of things I want to do and can do in my
life,” he added. His efforts saw West Indian skipper Chris Gayle, who had previously
admitted not knowing who Bollinger was, to say that the left-arm speedster had
been the pick of the Australian bowlers this series. |
