England not much of a threat for Australia: Shane Warne – Cricket News Update
Commenting on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Keith-Warne-c89672 stated that he did not see the English team posing a significant challenge for their visitors.
“I can’t see England blowing you out of the water and making 330 or more without KP, but I could see them bowled out for 180-200,” Warne wrote in the
Telegraph.
The limited-overs tour approaches amid much hype, marking the first bilateral series the two teams will be playing following their clash in the 2010/2011 Ashes, which England went on to win, with Australia conceding a humiliating defeat on home soil.
Although skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 has warned his team to concentrate on the present tour and not get too carried away with thoughts of the 2012/2013 Ashes in England, Warne, is confident that the Aussies will not have too many danger-men to contend with.
Singling out http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RS-Bopara-c2373,
Craig Keiswetter, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711), followed by the tail, did not pose too difficult a challenge for the Aussies.
“You don’t look down the batting line-up and wonder how you are going to get them out. I don’t really see a match-winner in the team in the absence of Kevin Pietersen,” Warne wrote. “The danger-man at the top is ‘the Sherminator’, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IR-Bell-c1597.”
The English side is still likely to be suffering the aftershocks of the retirement of star batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 brought Ian Bell
into the spotlight after he scored a massive 126, making him the only batsman Warne sees as a challenge for Australia.
With the first of five ODIs scheduled to kick off on June 29 at Lord’s in London, Warne went on to claim that he was convinced Australia would “give England something to think about before the Ashes next summer in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.”
