‘Disappointed’ Finch blames himself for ODI axe
- Updated: January 7, 2017
Australia opening batsman Aaron Finch admitted that he had only himself to blame after being dropped from the ODI squad for the five-match series against Pakistan, starting January 13.
Finch has seven hundreds in 77 ODIs but was dropped in favour of Usman Khawaja after a slump in form that saw him fail to score a century in his last 19 innings. He has reached fifty just four times in that period.
After his team, the Renegades, were thrashed by crosstown rivals Stars in the BBL’s Melbourne derby on Saturday, Finch said: “I was disappointed but I can’t really kick cans. I haven’t made may runs in the last couple of series. It’s something like 215 runs in 10 hits and that’s just not really good enough. When you have guys performing well in this [the BBL] and the Matador Cup – of course I’m disappointed but I have no one to blame but myself.”
