Taunton (England), June 9 (CRICKETNMORE): New Zealand's James Neesham said that the bouncy conditions on offer in Taunton suited him in the match against Afghanistan. Neesham was man of the match for his bowling figures of 5/31 as he and Lockie Ferguson (4/37) combined force to dismiss Afghanistan for 172. New Zealand eventually won the match by seven wickets.
"Our home conditions are lower and slower, but the bouncy conditions suited me personally to be honest. I let a few external voices affect my bowling, and I went back to my forte today -- hitting the deck hard, and not trying to swing the ball too much," said Neesham in the post match presentation ceremony on Saturday.
