Australian coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969 wants his team to gain a mental edge over England before the forthcoming Ashes - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – June 15, 2012
Aussie coach Mickey Arthur has expressed the desire of gaining a mental edge over opponents England before the forthcoming Ashes series, that would prove fruitful once the five-match series gets underway.
England who carry the Ashes will be fighting it out to retain it against the Aussies for the second time in a row. While it is imperative for the Aussies to avenge their last year’s loss to England's.
Indian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737, who has backed his captain as the best man for the job.
Kohli while giving an interview regarding the leadership of Dhoni said, “I don't think one can question MS's leadership. As Indian captain, he has never done badly. In fact, he has done a commendable job. As far as the captaincy is concerned, it is not something, which I should be concerned about. There is a selection committee that looks into the matter."
He also supported the idea of resuming bilateral cricketing ties with arch rivals http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820.
England batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IJL-Trott-c1576, believes that facing Australia too much in a year might take the interest out of the Ashes if fans grow bore of watching the two countries play against each other.
Trott while talking to the “London Evening Standard” said, "http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013-Australia is a special tradition and rivalry and it definitely needs looking after. It mustn't be overplayed or overdone and we all have to be careful about that.”
He was of the opinion that the two nations do not need to play excessively against each other at the cost of making fans lose interest in the big rivalry between the two countries which is seen every year in the Ashes series.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 on Thursday embarked on a five-ODI tour of England, which will last for four weeks just before the Ashes later this year.
