New Zealand’s pace sensation Kyle Jamieson on Wednesday (August 25) said he wants to add more pace to his bowling, but at the same, he doesn’t want to put extra stress on his body and end up missing the game due to injury.
At 6 ft 8 inches tall, Jamieson has impressed one and all with his impressive bowling across the formats since making his international debut in international cricket. He has had a fairytale start to his career, especially in Test cricket, taking 46 wickets in just 8 games.
Well, the pacer has already made an impact with both bat and ball and has mentioned that he wants to get a little bit quicker with the ball.
Jamieson said on Baz and Izzy's Breakfast show on SENZ radio: “Where I was during my first international game and where I am now, there has been a bit of an increase. In my mind, I want to get a little bit quicker. But it has to come about in a natural way and not losing some skill sets that you have got at the moment.”

Jamieson continued, “I am looking at guys around the world, at the top end of the bowling and also the ones hitting the 140 (kmph) mark. Certainly, some of that I would like to be but just trying to do it in the right way so that I don't put extra stress on my body and end up sitting down for a while.”
He was also happy to see the success of the New Zealand team in the past few years.
“It's a pretty good era for New Zealand cricket. From my time, in a short period of time, we have started winning games a lot quicker and we as a collective are trying to take 20 wickets. If you take 20 wickets, someone takes five, doesn't really matter. It's about trying to win games of cricket.”
The 26-year-old has insisted that there is no competition among New Zealand’s four-pronged pace attack featuring him, Neil Wagner, Trent Boult, and Tim Southee.
Praising the contribution of Boult and Southee, the tall pacer noted, “You have seen Tim and Trent. Those two have been doing the job and have done it long before I arrived. And yeah, we have been going all right and the pack is doing all right which is imperative.”
