Coming to the Wankhede Stadium on the eve of the ICC T20 World Cup second semi-final against India, English coach Brendon McCullum went straight to the centre pitch—touched the track to observe if the pitch turns hard after sun goes down, took stance on the crease, walked towards the Sharad Pawar Stand watching every corner, before joining back the team for the warm-up.Even English skipper Harry Brook relies heavily on McCullum for pitch predictions—a trend the team has been following for quite a while now. “I am not aware about the pitch…I have to sit with Baz (McCullum) and discuss how to proceed. He is the best man for the job,” said Brook.Playing at this pitch may turn challenging for the Englishmen—considering their run against West Indies during their league stage when they went down by 30 runs chasing 196.The side, however, have come a long way by winning all the three Super-8 matches over teams like Pakistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.Jofra Archer’s challenge topped with a fine-run by Will Jacks may trouble the co-hosts in the powerplay. Left-arm spinner Liam Dawson also bowled in the first six overs and the presence of Adil Rashid can’t be avoided at any stage of the match.While the focus has been on out-of-form Jos Buttler, the skipper wishes him to be back to the action in this match. “It’s better to leave him alone and work it upon. He is a world class player and very well aware about his strengths,” added the English skipper.Brook also boasted of having world class spinners to tackle the Indian batters, and the same was observed as the trio of Dawson, Rashid and Will Jacks was tasked to bowl full-length to trap the Indian batters. “We are never out of games, we have played in Sri Lanka and even in India.The side is known for producing world class spinners, but we do have a good bunch of spinners as well. The skipper accepted the fact that India will have ample support tomorrow for the semis.“India obviously has a hell of a lot of support and I’m not sure there are going to be many people behind us. It’s going to be loud. Hopefully, we can play our best cricket.We are managing to scrape along in close games and that is the sign of a good side. I have players with a lot of character, a willingness to win, wanting to win a lot, but also that calmness under pressure,” he added.
