Ashes next test for England's bowling attack after controversial series against Pakistan
The lengthy (and rather traumatic) series between England and Pakistan has finally concluded, with the home side winning in all three formats of the game outclassing their opponents with ease.
However, the series was full of controversies, as the spot-fixing scandal became the hot topic in the world of sports when Pakistan’s fast bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir allegedly bowled no balls
on the exact time as told by bookie http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Scotland-c756 Yard Police by the help of evidences from British tabloid
News of the World.
After wrapping up the tense One-Day International series 3-2 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, England have turned their focus to the Ashes which is their next major series. The series between England and Australia is among
the most awaited Test series alongside the series between Pakistan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
It is an honour for the players of both sides to be a part of the winning team in the Ashes as members from the opposing squads try to do one better than their rivals. The Ashes urn is the ultimate trophy
and all is played for this little piece as it means a lot for the fans of two nations.
Besides the World Cup, the Ashes is regarded as the biggest tournament in both countries, with fans going all-out to support their beloved team, even travelling from one corner of the world to the other
just for the sake of cheering on their national heroes.
England this time will be looking to repeat the heroics of the team that won the Ashes in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 almost two decades ago. England are yet to register their name on the trophy while being on foreign soil
of the Aussies and would love to remove the tag of a team who only knows how win in home conditions.
The rise of England in recent years must be a big worry for the Australian team, as the English team looks to go from strength to strength as they hope to secure the number one Test ranking. This looks a
reality given their recent performances and their dream is bolstered by their recent T20 World Cup triumph in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 and the overhauling of Pakistan at home.
James Anderson has been in terrific form of late, swinging the ball both ways at will. His outings against Pakistan showed that he has matured as a complete fast bowler as he is not thinking to be just express but looking to read
the minds of batsmen and mesmerising them with his extravagant swing.
Stuart Broad is no more the teenage prodigy who was very raw at the beginning; he, too, has developed his skills and has added variety to his armoury. He would enjoy his stint in Australia as the wicket will be very supportive
for the liking of Broad who likes to hit the deck hard. His father Chris Broad was part of the team which overwhelmed the mighty Aussies and Broad will be looking to emulate whatever his father’s side did. He will be a very important part of England’s attack,
as he is also arguably the world’s best spinner at the moment after the retirement of Muralitharan and Shane Warne.
Swann, who likes to bowl by giving a little bit air but can ball a quick one as well, brings a great variety to the English attack. Swann has very quickly made his name in the cricketing world and now will be looking to spread
his magic against the men Down Under. He will be supported by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Monty-Panesar-c2024 in the attack if England eventually plays him. Monty has been out of the squad as Swann has cemented his place as the premier spinner in the side, but the left-arm spinner could well
play an important role alongside the off-spinner Graeme Swann, the pace duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad and the all-rounder Tim Bresnan.
