Sonny Baker Confronts Bruising England Debut, Targets Ireland T20 Chance

The 22-year-old calls the experience a lesson ahead of a possible Sunday run-out in Dublin.

Overview

  • On ODI debut against South Africa at Headingley, Baker conceded 76 in seven wicketless overs as England were thrashed.
  • The Independent reports those figures are the most expensive by an England player on ODI debut.
  • He summed up his review with "s*** happens" and said he expects the next outing to be better.
  • Aiden Markram did much of the damage, with Baker noting even a 89mph ball on a good line was hit for six.
  • He missed the Ireland series opener, was told he was in before the Malahide washout, and is hoping for selection and dry weather on Sunday, with reports suggesting he remains in plans for upcoming tours.
