Cricket-Coaches trust Australia's hard-hitters, says David
Cricket - Fourth One Day International - South Africa v Australia - SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium, Centurion, South Africa - September 15, 2023 Australia's Tim David in action REUTERS/Siphiwe Sibeko (Reuters) -Australia's T20 batters are backed by their coaches to go "all guns blazing" and will likely continue their attacking ways, middle order blaster Tim David said. David produced a sparkling 83 off 53 balls to guide Australia to a 17-run win in the series-opener against South Africa on Sunday and a record ninth victory in succession. "We've been playing together as a group now for a while, so there's not a great deal of instruction from the coaches,' said player-of-the-match David in Darwin. "They trust the players. "We trust ourselves to go out there and we understand the game situation. We make decisions on the fly because that's the nature of T20 cricket. "I think if you'd watched our guys bat over the last period, wherever they bat around the world and when they play for the Australian team, it's close to all guns blazing. "You can probably expect to see that a little bit from our team. That's how we think we play best." David has been in top form, racking up 215 runs in his past three T20I innings, which includes a 37-ball century against the West Indies in St Kitts last month. His hot streak has revived queries on whether he might consider reviving an ODI career that lasted only four matches against South Africa in 2023. However, David was not included in the ODI squad for South Africa and poured cold water on the idea of a return in the near future. "That's not part of the plan for me," David said. "To be honest, the things I've been building towards is the T20 World Cup next year and the major tournaments that are leading up to that. "Honestly, I don't operate much further than the next day ahead." Australia will look to seal the three-match T20 series against South Africa with another win in Darwin on Tuesday.

Lord's is one of seven venues confirmed for the expanded 12-team tournament, with Old Trafford, Headingley, Edgbaston, Hampshire Bowl, The Oval and Bristol County Ground also selected. "It is one of the finest venues in world cricket and every cricketer dreams of being part of occasions like a World Cup final at Lord's," ECB Chief Executive Officer Richard Gould said in a statement. "This will be the biggest women's cricket event ever staged in England and Wales and is undoubtedly an opportunity to take the game to more people than ever before." The tournament starts on June 12 and will include 33 matches played over 24 days. "The sell-out Women's Cricket World Cup final at Lord's in 2017 remains a landmark in the rise of the women's game, and I cannot think of a more fitting stage for the final," International Cricket Council (ICC) chair Jay Shah said. "We are excited by the promise of thrilling T20 action that will not only captivate fans here but also serve as a showcase for cricket's return on the Olympic stage in Los Angeles 2028." Eight countries have secured their places in the tournament and the remaining four teams will be decided through qualifying next year. (Reporting by Anita Kobylinska in Gdansk, editing by Ed Osmond)
