Fast bowler Michael Booth took 25 wickets in his debut season with Warwickshire. And the 23-year-old has revealed his plan to top that tally next year…by becoming angry!
We caught up with Boothy in the ‘Secret Garden’ of a Jewellery Quarter bar. We’re little more than a point to mid-wicket jog from the apartment he shares with, until recently, Chris Benjamin, and Jacob Bethell.
“Being angry is not something that comes easily,” said Booth. “I’m a pretty chilled guy so getting meaner is a big work-on in the winter. To get into the battle a bit more, psychologically. I’m too friendly! I’m trying to get more aggressive to take more wickets.”
Michael also talks about his hopes of emulating Chris Woakes as a genuine all-rounder for Warwickshire.
