In International Cricket, Winning Away From Home Is Becoming So Hard, Especially In Test Cricket – Tim Southee

Veteran Kiwi pacer Tim Southee believes that winning matches away from home especially in Test cricket is becoming hard in international cricket.

Kane Williamson-led New Zealand National Cricket Team had a stellar run in cricket in 2021, they became the inaugural ICC World Test Champions and also reached the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021.

However, the performance of the Black Caps in Test cricket away from home was not up to the mark as at home they won 4 out of 4 Tests but won only 2 out of 5 Tests played away from home.

Meanwhile, the Right-arm pacer Tim Southee said that team New Zealand would like to improve their performance in the overseas games in the upcoming years.

“As a side, we are continuing to look to get better and grow as a team. I think performing overseas is one thing. In international cricket now, winning away from home is becoming so hard, especially in Test cricket.

“As a side, that’s an area we hopefully can improve on. We’ve had a little bit of success overseas over the years but that’s somewhere we would like to improve,” Southee replied to the Hindustan Times query while speaking to select media during an event organised by Amazon Prime Video.

There Seems To Be A Lot Of Cricket Coming Up – New Zealand Captain Kane Williamson

Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson believes that a lot of major cricket has been played in 2021 due to Covid-19 and a lot of cricket is coming up as well.

“I suppose with Covid, there’s been a lot of major cricket in one year. The World Test Championship and then the T20 World Cup. As soon as something finishes, another thing starts.

“That’s the focus when you’re directly involved in the sport. There’s another T20 World Cup (in 2022) that’s not too far away. There seems to be a lot of cricket (coming up),” he added.

Kane Williamson further talked about the journey of New Zealand in 2021 and the challenges faced by the team.

” As a side, over the periods of time, we’ve had players come and go and we always try to navigate those challenges each time and move in the right direction. Throughout this year, as a group, we saw a lot of good signs and saw a lot of good days and a lot of tough ones as well; where we saw them as the best opportunity to learn.

“It’s great that in some major events, we could go out there and play some really good cricket. But we know that the challenges that lie here and preparing for,” he further said.
