http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026 still hopeful of team’s chances – Cricket News Update
Despite two resounding losses against the Men In Blue, English skipper, Alastair Cook claims that the team has the self-belief to turn around their fortunes for the remainder of the ODI series.
The tourists are currently 2-0 down in the series, after a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780.
Chasing a target of 238, the hosts were never in trouble and got home with more than 13 overs to spare. Kohli, along with left-hander, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 shared a mammoth stand of 209 for the third wicket, propelling to an easy win in as many games.
With three matches still to be played, the Poms need to quickly re-group and start performing and the skipper believes that the team has the ‘right players’ to turn around their fortunes and get back to winning ways.
"After two heavy defeats, there is bound to be some questions asked about the team. We have the self-belief and there is no reason why we can't do it here," Cook said. "We do have the players to do well in these conditions. There are no major changes in
the team. It is just that we are not being able to deliver," he said.
"There will be questions. We have got the skills. We were a little short on the basics in the first two matches and we paid a price", he explained.
With their batting faulting in both the matches, the management will have to re-think their stance, which has seen http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 has had a slow start to the series, and though he did show some form in the second match,
a question mark still lingers over his longer term place in the ODI team.
The 3rd game will be an all important outing for the visitors, since the hosts will be looking to pay them back with the same coins they received in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013. However, under Cook the team has previously shown the ability to bounce back from pressure situations
and the captain will be hoping that his side recovers in time.
