http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 to unleash tall pacers against Sri Lanka in the 2nd Test
After winning the 1st Test at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, thanks to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465, in their playing XI for tomorrow’s game at the historical venue of Lord’s.
At the grassy Cardiff wicket, the Lankans were unable to play the short-pitched balls confidently and the English pacers like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Clayton-Anderson-c65552 and Broad grabbed wickets comfortably.
Finn is set to replace Anderson, whose side strain and back stiffness have put him out of the series.
While addressing Finn’s issues, English coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Briggs-c67453 and more like a man. He's got a very good chance of playing at Lord's.”
Initially, the team management called http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jade-Winston-Dernbach-c65256 to replace Anderson but later, Flower opted for Finn as he wanted to give the pacer a comeback chance after his ouster from the 2010 Ashes series.
In the first Test, Tremlett and Broad were impressive, especially in the second innings of Sri Lanka.
On the other hand, the Lankans are determined not to repeat mistakes from the first Test. They will be stepping into Lord’s with a new game plan.
Law told the media on Thursday, “We have to come up with better plans on how to attack and defend. It's difficult trying to get into the mindset of getting forward to a half volley that's hitting you in the chest.”
In contrast to England, Sri Lanka are missing two top figures in their bowling department. Without http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Separamadu-Lasith-Malinga-c89197, their bowling attack is severely lacking in experience.
In this situation, the Lankans can only depend on their batting prowess. However, the English have brought in a strong attack to ensure the Lankans do not settle.
