Warner was under pressure: Finch

London: David Warner’s unusually slow batting in the World Cup match against India was not a new approach but a result of the quality bowling that kept the flamboyant left-hander quiet, Australian skipper Aaron Finch has conceded.
Warner scored an unbeaten 89 off 114 balls against Afghanistan but his 56 off 84 balls in a chase of 353 against India put pressure on the batsmen later on. “No, it hasn’t been a plan — a team plan or an individual plan for David. I think they bowled really well early,” Finch explained after the 36-run loss that the defending champions endured on Sunday. “They bowled nice and straight, back of the length, where the ball was just skidding quite low to start with, and they just didn’t give us any width to get away or any length to really work with, either over the top or get a drive away. “Their bowling plans were pretty simple but really effective on a wicket like that,” Finch added.
