In the meantime, Ward is focused on continuing to help his native island out in Nairobi.<\/p>\n
Jersey have lost just one of their 12 ICC Challenge League matches – the six-team round-robin event sees sides come together once a year for three years to play each other, with the top two progressing to the next stage of Cricket World Cup qualification.<\/p>\n
And while Jersey’s batters have impressed – Zak Tribe has hit 215 runs while his brother, Glamorgan batter Asa, has chipped in with 95 – Ward has been the pick of Jersey’s bowling attack.<\/p>\n
“It’s been coming out of the hand quite nicely to say the least,” he added.<\/p>\n
“I’ve definitely bowled better for less and I’ve definitely bowled worse for more, maybe not five-fers in a row, that’s almost unheard of in some aspects, but I’m very, very happy with where my cricket is at the moment.<\/p>\n
“It’s not just one person – I may have got five wickets in this game, but our batters put on an unbelievable score, our other bowlers put on a lot of pressure, and to have Jake Dunford behind the stumps the way he is, he’s an unbelievable wicketkeeper.<\/p>\n
“For me, at the top of my mark, I feel like if I get anywhere near the batter’s bat or if they even think about leaving their crease, they’ve got no chance with him behind the stumps.<\/p>\n
“So it’s a good little team within a team that we have there, but for me personally, it feels like it’s coming out quite well and we’ll see how it goes – you can only play what’s in front of you.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the meantime, Ward is focused on continuing to help his native island out in Nairobi.
