Alastair Cook says India would be excited for revenge – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026, the England’s One-Day International skipper, while talking about the upcoming five-match ODI series against India, said that the hosts are the world champions and must be anxious for taking revenge.
"Of course it will be difficult over there. They will have a point to prove and the conditions will obviously suit them. I doubt we will see much green grass on the wickets we play on,” added Cook.
England, in their recently concluded home series against India, have been excellent as they dominated the tourists in all three formats of the game. The series added much to England’s popularity as they took a remarkable start
with the four-match Test series, where they claimed a 4-0 clean sweep over the tourists.
With this eye-catching Test series triumph, England jumped up to the top status in the International Cricket Council's (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) Test rankings by replacing India.
The hosts then also thrashed the visitors in the only Twenty and claimed a 3-0 win in the five-match ODI series.
Facing immense criticism after this disastrous tour to England, India are expected to make a strong comeback in their home series against the same team.
"It is down to us and how we cope with conditions and how we play. The best players adapt to that. We have players who have never played in India in an http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 shirt,” asserted Cook.
The English side, whose squad had been announced last week, would be missing two of its key players – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032.
Cook showed his excitement for playing an ODI series in India, saying that he has never played a single game there, so the tour is going to be a challenge for his side.
