“You have to fine line and length with these guys, you’ve got that tiny margin of error – if you miss the spot they (Indian batsmen) will throw it over your head.

When asked about his bowling plan on Sunday, Young commented, “Bowling there, you have to put the ball in the right area and (in that first over), I missed my line with the first few balls. , but then bang I got the line right and I took two wickets. But it’s never that easy with these guys, you put it in front of them and they tie it on your head. If you miss your line So just a little bit, they will punish you.”

Young signed the deal, expressing happiness over playing in front of a sold out crowd and playing against a strong team like India. “I have never played in front of a crowd like this, there was a real buzz and it was fun. But the most important thing was that we stood up against one of the best sides in the world and went toe-to-toe with him for 80-85% of the game – but, again, you have to be 100% on a team like this. It’s time to play with, we just need to find that extra bit on Tuesday. ,
