'It's a wee bit of frustration, right?…': Kyle Jamieson on teammates' injuries

[[{“value”:”

New Zealand’s pacer Kyle Jamieson said that it is frustrating that his team has been facing injury issues in the ongoing five-match ODI series against Team India.

“It’s a wee bit of frustration, right? You’re trying to always put a similar attack out and you sort of can build that camaraderie and build that cohesion. We haven’t had the reps (repetitions) that we’d like,” he told the broadcasters.

However, the pacer is hopeful of his teammates recovering well and being able to take the field.

“But hopefully over the next couple of weeks we’ll sort of all come out here together and get a good run of cricket together,” said Jamieson.

In the cold and wet conditions, Jamieson troubled the Indian batters in Wellington with his seam and bounce, picking up three wickets.

“Just trying to manage a little bit of the weather stuff. Trying to get it right on what conditions are going to look like and, just trying to put them (opposition) under a little bit of pressure,” he said.

The third ODI match has been abandoned due to persistent rain at the Seddon Park in Hamilton.

Earlier, the match was shortened to 40 overs per side due to a delayed start. Later, Team India’s skipper Shubman Gill won the toss and elected to bowl first, but the game was stopped even before the first ball was bowled.

Currently, the “Men in Blue” are leading the five-match ODI series by 2-0, with two games yet to be played.

The fourth ODI match will be played on November 13 at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, followed by the fifth game on November 15 at the same venue.
