Neesham, who is well known not only for his cricketing abilities but his witty social media activity, is not alien to the T10 format. The New Zealander explained that while the format has its challenges, he expects it to grow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe toughest aspect (of T10) is how short it is. There\u2019s no chance to find form or fix problems, you just have to go out and be aggressive and hope it comes off,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think T10 is a great way to grow the game of cricket. It\u2019s a festival atmosphere which makes it great to play in places that aren\u2019t traditionally cricket countries. I see it developing a bit like the global rugby Sevens series where you have competitions each weekend in different cities in the world. That\u2019d be great,\" the all-rounder added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Neesham made his mark in his very first outing in season 2 of Zim Afro T10 as the New Zealander dug his team (Harare Bolts) out of a spot of bother in the chase against the Cape Town Samp Army, scoring 30 from 16, to clinch a thrilling win on the opening day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on the knock and the win, Neesham, who is no stranger to high-pressure situations at the highest level, said, \u201cThe atmosphere was good. Always an advantage playing in front of a home crowd so hopefully that will be an advantage for us moving forward. The mood is good in the dressing room. It\u2019s very early in the tournament though so we\u2019re keeping our feet on the ground and looking forward to the next game tomorrow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cT10 is about picking your moments to attack and making it count. We were lucky today that our bowlers kept the target down so there was never any real run rate pressure during the chase,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
