‘The sky’s the limit’: USA left motivated by best-ever tournament performance

post

Veteran all-rounder Corey Anderson was tasked with reflecting on USA’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup campaign, fronting the media after his side’s third successive Super Eight defeat.

The campaign didn’t quite end with the same fizz that it started with. But more time will allow the team to reflect on what was achieved, rather than what wasn’t.

The United States beat Pakistan. They progressed past the initial group stage and announced themselves to the world as a cricketing side that oozes with talent.

It’s a result that will catapult a new wave of inspired talent that will cement USA’s standing, particularly in the shortest format.

“Making it through to the Super Eights was obviously a historic occasion for the USA,” Anderson said after his side went down to England in Barbados.

“Look, (our players are) disappointed. They're hurt. I'm hurt. Your pride's always on the line when you're playing these games and you never want to lose badly or have performances like that. But again, it's looking at the bigger picture of it too … we're beginning to be disappointed about how we play against these big teams and knowing that we can do better. That's a great sign because it means we can give more.”

USA's Corey Anderson points out exactly how his team will continue building towards cricket's top tier.

Anderson is under no illusions that the next step will be difficult – nobody will be taking this team lightly from now on and opposition sides will do all the necessary homework on their players.

That’s a key part of the equation in cricket’s top tier.

“The more we've played as well, the more footage they have on us,” he continued.

“As soon as you get seen and you do a couple of things, everyone starts circling and wondering what's going on, how do we get them out, where are the weaknesses, where are the strengths. I think the guys have probably found wanting a little bit in that regard. But again, it's a great learning.”
