Opener Devon Conway is pleased to add sweeps and reverse sweeps to his repertoire on his ongoing subcontinental tour in New Zealand with the upcoming ODI World Cup in India later this year.
New Zealand takes you on a bittersweet tour of the subcontinent. After the Black Caps won his ODI series in Pakistan, the Black Caps collapsed in his 50 over his game in India where he lost 0-3.
Conway scored two Test centuries in the Thai series against Pakistan, followed by a 138 in the third ODI against India, successfully negotiating spinners from both countries.
“Personally, I’m pretty happy with how things have been the last month and a half,” Conway said at the post-match press conference.
“I learned a lot about how to attack spins on the subcontinent. I had to learn to sweep, sweep backwards and press the bowler as much as possible. Two centuries in my Test debut.
“We were very lucky to have a good experience with our group. Kane was with us in Pakistan, so we had the opportunity to speak with him and Tommy Latham. The third ODI against India started with a challenge for the Kiwis when Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill shared the first 212-run streak and rained six and four.
“It was a challenge for the bowlers today. lacked the services of his top players.
“The absence of Boulty and Southee is huge for us. Conway said.
