Gearing up for a 'cracker game' against New Zealand, Australian cricket team coach Darren Lehmann has claimed that his side has got some plans for the big-hitting Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum, as the two teams prepare to lock horns on Saturday.
McCullum's 77 from 25 balls against England in Wellington is the innings of the World Cup so far and Lehmann is banking on the extra pace in his attack to rattle the skipper.
Lehmann said that McCullum does hit the balls a long way, adding that the New Zealand skipper took the game on. He said that McCullum plays a high-risk game, but added that there's a bit of a difference between 135 kilometers-per-hour and 145 to 150 kilometers-per-hour coming at the batsman, Stuff.co.nz reported.
The Australian coach said that it would be a great challenge for both sides. He added that McCullum is going to certainly come at Australia and they have got some plans for the skipper.
Lehmann claimed that it's going to be exciting, insisting that New Zealand have been very impressive. He said that it's going to be interesting to see how New Zealand play against Australia, adding that he is sure they would be really aggressive, so he insisted that it's going to be a cracker game.
Both, Australia and New Zealand have started their World Cup campaigns on winning notes and would now face each other in their World Cup clash on Saturday at the Eden Park, the report added.
