Cricket News in Brief – January 10, 2012 – Part 1
England’s strike pace bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE).
According to sources, the bowler has failed to recover from an elbow surgery, which he underwent in December, 2011.
Speaking on Bresnan’s condition, the English skipper Andrew Strauss said, “Bresnan tried to bowl today, having had an injection and a good rest. I think we were all expecting him to be absolutely fine. But it's very painful - and given that, he's probably
not going to be able to play for two or three weeks."
The absence of Bresnan is a big blow for the number one Test team in the world as the bowler could have been useful on UAE pitches, where bowlers are lethal with their reverse swing.
English skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 this month.
England beat http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Combined XI by successfully chasing 261 runs with Strauss hammering an impressive 78-run knock.
“We're delighted with how we came through and won the game, having been nearly 100 behind after the first innings," Strauss said.
However, the English skipper insisted that his side wasn’t perfect and need to raise the level a bit more before meeting the Men in Green.
Pakistan’s bowling coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 a tough time Test series beginning this month.
Aaqib, who has been working with the team in their camp setup at the Gaddafi stadium, believes that playing against Pakistan in the UAE would not be an easy job for England and the English are also predicting a tough series.
With the departure of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Waqar-Younis-Maitla-c96193, as the head coach, more pressure lies on Aaqib to see through the bowling department.
Pakistan coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-Hasan-Khan-c77595 hopes his side will get going against
England right from the first Test in order to put the tourists under pressure in the three-match Test series all set to begin in the UAE.
“You do not want to be playing catch up in a three match series. I don’t think England will be underprepared despite the conditions,” said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319.
