England opening batsman Moeen Ali has said that he is not afraid to take on Australian pace spearhead Mitchell Johnson and his short ball tactics, adding that he will continue playing aggressive cricket in the World Cup opener on February 14 in Melbourne.
The left-hand batsman was bounced out off by Johnson's express delivery to slip in Tri-series final at Perth.
Reflecting on his dismissal, Ali said that he just felt like it was a good ball that got him out the other day, adding that he was not worried about it and had been working on it (short ball), the Mirror reported.
Ali further said that it was not going to stop him from playing his shots or being aggressive, adding that he had to get better and be a bit smarter about which ball he go for, the report added.
