It has been a rewarding few months for Delany. Dominating Namibia A with both bat and ball in the spring has firmly put that World Cup disappointment behind him, his knock of nine off 18 balls part of a team-wide collapse that put them out of the tournament. “If I do get into the situation again I’m happy hitting my way out of it rather than clogging up the innings again like I did that day.”

“I have a little more time and value my wicket more than I did when opening,” he explained. “Then I was trying to hit every ball where at three I probably will try to get to the 16th over and then by that stage back myself to clear the ropes.” “We all know the stat that if you lose three [wickets] in the first six [overs], 80 per cent of the time you lose,” explains Delany. “But I think we’ve had those discussions where we’re still trying to be braver, if we do lose wickets not to shut up shop and keep playing our natural aggressive game.”
