England not dependant on a single player, Andrew Strauss – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964, the Captain of the English squad, was thrilled with the backup of the players in the country.
He claimed there were quite a few talented cricket players under the wings who are eager to represent England once a chance was provided to them.
Chris Tremlett was a part of the winning team in the first Test at Lord’s, London, which was played from July 21 to 25, 2011.
He shared the hostile England bowling and grabbed the important wickets of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 , in the first innings followed by another dismissal of Dhoni in the second innings.
England won the match by 196 runs and started the series on a winning note when Tremlett was declared unfit for the second Test.
He was replaced by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711 who gave a wonderful all round performance by scoring 101 runs in two innings and grasped seven wickets in the match which England won by 319 runs.
The 26-year-old continued with his form by scoring unbeaten 53 runs and taking five wickets in the third Test at Edgbaston, which http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 lost by an innings and 242 runs.
There has been a doubt about http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566, were waiting to make an impact. Strauss was impressed and said,
“We have got vast stocks of fast bowlers at the minute. I'm not sure where they've all come from, but it's nice for us they have all arrived at the same time.”
Strauss was concerned about Anderson before the start of the fourth Test but assured that England team was not dependant on one player.
They have given sterling performance as a team, their bowlers have dominated the series while batsmen have scored heavy runs and fielding was promising in all three games. He commented,
“He's very important, not just for the tone he sets but for his relationship with the other bowlers. But you can't rely on one person. That's one of the things that we've been good at: we've not relied on one or two people to win us a Test match. We've had
performances from all 11 and when we're missing a player it's important the guy coming in can fill that role.”
