Ollie Pope keen to prove he’s a keeper

Ollie Pope wants to prove himself as a world-class wicket after falling into the role of a second test against New Zealand to cover the injured Joss Butler.

The Pope, who previously competed in Hamilton, who had previously held only five games in first class, did not step foot through the opening days and needed some exercise, even though he played a role in the absence of a professional. It's a backup keeper and the top keeper is limited exposure in Surrey, Ben Foakes.

The Pope said, “In the last few days I have talked a lot about social media. "I'm a keeper. I've been there since I was eight years old.

"Since being an expert, when Foakesy was in Surrey, the amount I did was limited, but it's been on radar since I said it would come on this tour.

In terms of British turnstiles and batters, the latter said that he was included in his trip to New Zealand-the pope would have all the chances.

"I'm focusing on my batting average, but at the same time in Surrey we got Foakesy, so I know the game time I don't know," he said. "If the game is running out of time, the training will continue on its own. Whenever the game goes well, it's good to start the game."

The Pope, who did only the fourth test, expressed his opinion on whether or not to use DRS and said that he would continue to do so while maintaining the "best place". The pope, who found out that Butler would be standing the night before the game after a cramping in the gym, said that he grew well after the game was stopped shortly after the car burst on the first day of rain.

The Pope said, “This was a different role. I feel pretty good this morning. ” "The body feels good. A little surprise, but I always had it on my radar that this could happen. Yeah, I prepared it.

"I love to keep. I still see myself as a goalkeeper. Obviously I didn't have a huge amount. But it's still exciting and ready to go because I want to keep going in my game."

The Pope also wants to improve his "sufficient" first test performance with bat after making 29 and 6.

"I feel really good on the net," he said. "I played well in a warm-up game, so getting out of it one way was probably the most frustrating thing.

"But at the same time, I have a good lesson. And it's good to see how these people go about their stuff and how they come back. It's a good thing to move forward. Future."
