Record-breaking big-hitter Kevin O’Brien says semi-professional Ireland has nothing to fear as it prepares to take on Australia in their World Twenty20 clash in Colombo next week.
O’Brien, whose 50-ball century against England last year is a record for one-day World Cup matches, says Ireland has been boning up on Australia’s tactics with new consultant, bowling coach Craig McDermott, who quit his full-time role with the Australian team earlier this year.
‘‘We can certainly look into this tournament with a lot of confidence,’’ O’Brien said yesterday ahead of the September 19 match.
