Plunkett describes last ball six

Wednesday, June 22 2016 by SNTV
  • England reaction after Liam Plunkett hit a last ball six to draw the first-one day international at Trent Bridge on Tuesday (21st June), a match Sri Lanka had looked certain to win.

    SOUNDBITE: Liam Plunkett, England

    "There's nothing else but try and hit it out of the ground to be honest. I was trying to stay still. If he goes yorker and misses it I'm trying to go straight, if he tries to bowl slow ball then hopefully I can drag it round, get a bit on it there. I try and tell myself I've been hitting it quite nicely for Yorkshire, I bat quite a bit, I feel in decent nick. So I just tried to stay still, if he misses hopefully I'll get enough onto it, I'll go into the stand."

    SOUNDBITE: Liam Plunkett, England

    "There's nothing you can do but try and hit it out of the ground mate, It's sometimes worth watching. In all sport - the football and stuff. When you're there you feel like you've practised enough. I'm just backing myself, if he misses I'm going to get a good connection and hit it into the stands. I did back myself to hit if he missed it."

    SOUNDBITE: Liam Plunkett, England bowler

    (Did you know it was a six?)

    "I think you do yeah, you know when you've nailed the ball, it's the same feeling pretty much when you're on a golf course and you nail it off the tee, it's a similar feeling. As soon as I hit it I thought, yep a six, thanks for coming."

    SOUNDBITE: Eoin Morgan, England ODI captain

    "I think we are very lucky to get out of this game with a tie and go to Edgbaston, nil-all and all square in the series. I think our general performance today was really poor with the bat, ball and in the field I thought we were really rusty. The first ten overs of our innings was probably as bad as we have performed with the bat over the last year. But, the belief in the changing room is quite incredible and I think today sums a little bit of it up. Being 60-6 and getting to 286 to tie the game shows great belief."
