This episode features an interview with Adam Hose after the batter top-scored with 39 from 21 balls in the Vipers’ warm-up match against the Dubai Capitals at the ICC Academy on Thursday evening.
The match was 14-a-side and both teams had players who batted more than once as they sought middle practice. The Capitals won by 37 runs as their batters went exceptionally hard on a superb pitch and with a very short boundary on one side of the number two oval at the Academy.
The Vipers used nine bowlers with young UAE all-rounder Ali Naseer impressing with the new ball, while spinners Nathan Sowter and Rohan Mustafa took 1 for 15 and 2 for 18 respectively, using the longer square boundary to their advantage.
When the Vipers batted, in addition to Adam, Michael Jones and Sherfane Rutherford also spent useful time in the middle ahead of Sunday’s opener against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.Adam talks with us about lessons learnt from the warm-up match, his time in Australia with the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League and his preparations for the Vipers’ opening match of the tournament, against the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday January the 21st.Tickets are on sale for that match and all Vipers outings and can be purchased via the ILT20 website or at any Virgin Megastore in the UAE.
