Travis Head: Pat’s giving me the confidence to go out and play

“Pat gives me the courage to go out and play,” says the player. He alluded to the game [against India in 2018] at Optus Stadium. Look, if you take the game on and get caught at third man a couple of times while playing the proper way, it’s no big deal to him, and he fully supports me. As reported by ESPNcricinfo, “That maybe gave me the confidence going into the series to be myself and play the situation as I see it.”

The middle-order batter, on the other hand, emphasized that he hasn’t been allowed to play rashly. He then went on to talk about a time in his life when he wasn’t satisfied with how he was being discarded. In addition, the southpaw discussed his dismissal in the MCG Test.

“I went through a stage where I realized dismissals might not look good. And I might get caught at third man or flap at a bowler, which I certainly don’t want to do.” As a batter, my tendency is to fling my hands into the ball if I nicked it since it hasn’t touched my bat and it’s a mistake, and I want to catch the moment as such, which isn’t attractive.

“I was dissatisfied with my shot in Melbourne. Because I nicked it and exaggerated it to make it appear a little worse.” He explained. “But I try to work incredibly hard on it.”
