UPDATES
Michael Neser ($142k BAT/BWL) talked about his role up front for the Heat leading to plenty of wickets. He said: “I’ve changed my mindset to be more attacking and look to take wickets as opposed to just go straight to defence. It’s more a mental thing and executing a four-day length more consistently.”
Peter Hatzoglou ($73k BWL) spoke about rotation within the Perth bowling ranks. He said: “It’s always great to stay ready. You’re always looking to put your best foot forward. I don’t mind missing out when you’ve got guys like Morris and Kelly, quality players coming in, as long as I’m doing well when I play.”
