England can learn from Chanderpaul’s batting: Stuart Broad – Cricket News Update
England’s medium-pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390, saying the 37-year-old’s approach was something the Poms could learn from.
“He plays it so late in swinging conditions,” said Broad. “That's something we can learn as a batting group although we have a great record here as a batting group. He's very hard to draw into a shot which is why he's No. 1 in the world...He gets to 20-30
without you really realising.”
“For 15 years, he's done the same thing and been very effective at it,” added Broad. “It's quite tricky to find a good line to him, because he does shuffle around - and he'll move a lot outside off-stump.”
The two teams are currently playing the Wisden Trophy and the first day of the first Test at Lord’s on May 17 saw a superb batting performance from Chanderpaul, who remained the only batsman standing as the remainder of the Windies’ batting order crumbled
under the force of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s pace attack.
James Anderson’s swing proved to be the undoing of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-Barath-c886, while Broad was the most devastating, claiming 6 for 72. Chanderpaul, however, remained untouched by the assault, and made his way steadily to 87 – his 60th Test
half-century.
The left-hander is currently ranked number one the ICC’s list of top Test batsmen, and is the tenth batsman in the history of the game to have scored more than 10,000 Test runs.
Chanderpaul’s contribution, aided by useful contributions from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804 (31), enabled his side to reach 243 by the end of the first day, but owing to the inconsistency of the remainder of the batting order, 9 wickets had already
been lost, making the team’s chances of making any sizeable contributions to the total slim.
With one wicket remaining, things look to be under the host team’s control as they prepare for the second day of play. Reflecting on the team’s approach for the remainder of the game, Broad suggested that the team could adopted a fixed method and adhere
to it.
“Maybe as a bowling unit, we can just settle into one (method) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 to it for a long time.”
