England all set to bounce back against New Zealand, says Moeen Ali

Moeen Ali said England have moved on from their defeat against Australia in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 opener and are concentrating on the clash against New Zealand. “We have so much to play for. The World Cup is not decided over one game. It is a long period of time,” Ali said.

England take on New Zealand on Friday at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington. “Australia have set the standard and New Zealand is going to be just as hard. We are going to have to up our skill level and our game,” he added. He added, “It’s a very tough draw to play two of the best sides up front. If we can win, it puts us in a great position. It will show everybody that we are a good, serious side.” ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: POINTS TABLE

“We’ve been trying to plan different ways of how we are going to bowl at the death. It’s not easy. I’ve never bowled at the death. I can imagine it is very difficult against guys who are set and with the boundaries being not as big. But as long as we are improving and we have a plan, then we’ll be okay.” ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: SCHEDULE & MATCH DETAILS

“That was probably the worst we’ve played in Australia throughout the trip so far. It’s good to get that game out of the way, even though it was a bad result for us.” ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: Complete Coverage
