Talked About Calmness At The Crease With Stewart, Reveals Pope After Hitting 77 Against NZ
New Delhi: England vice-captain Ollie Pope has credited chats with his long-time confidante Alec Stewart for helping him, including talking about having calmness at the crease, to bounce back from a poor tour of Pakistan, where he averaged just 11.
At the Hagley Oval in Christchurch, Pope hit a fine 77 after coming in at number six, while sharing a fifth-wicket partnership of 151 with Harry Brook, who hit an unbeaten 132, as England ended day two at 319/5, and 29 runs behind New Zealand’s 348, especially after being 71/4 at one point.
"I didn't get Stewy throwing balls on the dog stick. He's too high up for that, I think. I had an open discussion with him rather than an array of sessions in the nets. It's probably healthy to talk to someone from outside who's been watching you."
