Sydney, March 24 (IANS) Australian opener Aaron Finch, in the midst of a lean patch with the bat, insisted on Tuesday that he will return to form soon, possibly against India in their cricket World Cup semi-final match at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Thursday.
The swashbuckling opener started the tournament on a bright note with a century against England but since then the runs have dried up from his bat.
"Whenever you don't get runs, it (pressure) starts to build up, but I feel like I've been batting nicely, it's nice to go back to a couple of checkpoints and make sure that I'm on top of my game and feeling good and hitting the ball nicely," Finch was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
"That's all I can ask and whatever will happen on Thursday will happen -- I'm not someone who over-analyses it a helluva lot."
Voices of dissatisfaction regarding his poor form have risen steadily from several quarters with former Australian captain Ricky Ponting saying that the right-hand batsman's technical flaws become apparent when he is struggling for runs.
Finch, however, shrugged off Ponting's view.
"In terms of what Ricky said, I hadn't heard that but he's got his own opinions and when you look down our batting list everyone has been playing beautifully and I'm probably the only one who has missed out in the last couple of games.
"But I'm confident going into this game and I've got no reason not to be. I'm looking for some big runs," Finch said.
The right-hander believes he just needs one early shot to get him back his lost touch and feels that innings is not too far away.
"It's just one of those things - and when you're not hitting them so well, to get down the other end so Davey (Warner, his opening partner) can take a bit of the strike. Just try and work your way into an innings in a bit of a different way, as opposed to boundaries and trying to score quickly."
Finch stressed upon his belief that a big knock was just around the corner.
"It's not far away. I feel great, it might just be that one shot early in your innings that gets you going to make a big one," he said.
