Never Thought Of Getting A Hat-trick, Says Atkinson After Taking 4-41 Against NZ On Day 2
Although Zak Crawley: England pacer Gus Atkinson bagged a hat-trick against New Zealand on Day 2 of the second Test at Basin Reserve to bowl out hosts for paltry 125. England finished the day with a daunting 533 runs lead with Ben Duckett (92), Jacob Bethell (96), Harry Brook (55) and Joe Root (73 not out) scoring half-centuries to post 378/5 in 76 overs at stumps on Saturday.
Atkinson, who returned with the figures of 4-41, said he wasn't thinking of a hat-trick adding that he stuck to the team's plan of bowling short-pitch deliveries followed by yorkers.
"It (our plans) worked out well in the morning and the batters batted pretty well. Never thought of getting a hat-trick, but it was nice to get it. We wanted to set them up with the shorter balls and then go for the yorker. Yesterday, I didn't feel great, but I felt nice today," the pacer said after the end of the play.
