  Liam Livingstone speaks

  "Obviously wasn't ideal (to lose to SRH). We have played some good cricket in the last couple of games, we haven't just put the full game together yet, so hopefully we can get our batting and bowling right today and put in a good performance. With the position we are in, we don't have a choice (of favourites grounds). The lads are playing some good cricket and hopefully a few of us can turn up.. And like I said get on a roll. He's (Samson) a genius. I have been with RR for a couple of years now and to see what he does in training I don't think you see that anywhere else in the world. I genuinely believe he's the most talented player I have played with. He's a very skilful boy, very relaxed and there's not much carry-on about him. I just sometimes sit and admire him in the nets. Everybody is different, lot of the Indian boys enjoy hitting a lot of balls, personally I don't like hitting too many. I just like to go game to game and trust the work I have put in pre-tournament. Desperate to see it (hitting sixes) myself. I have had a good couple of months. There's no time to take a backward step now."
