England v India: 4th Test Match – English bowlers to watch out for
England is all set to take on the former Test champions, India, in the upcoming 4th Test fixture, scheduled to kick off at the Kennington Oval, in London on Thursday, August 18, 2011.
Following a streak of successive wins, the English side hopes to deliver another impressive run in the series' final game, all intended towards earning a clean sheet on the competition.
As for the team’s previous performance, much credit goes to the hyped and in-form English squad, led by the competitive skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964, who now stands proud as the Captain of the world’s number 1 Test team; an honour England last earned in 1979.
However, for the upcoming bout, skipper Strauss will once again have to bank on England’s forceful bowling entourage made up of Stuart Broad, Tim Bresnan, Graeme Swann and James Anderson.

Stuart Broad comes in as one of the most potent bowlers on the English squad. The 25-year-old pacer has been delivering an exceptional run with the ball and is sure to come out with another remarkable performance in the upcoming game at the Oval.
Broad marked his Test debut in 2007, and since then the youngster has served his team in 40 matches, earning a total of 128 wickets.
So far, Broad has secured an aggregate of 21 wickets from the previous three Tests, including a notable hat-trick, which came on the second match, at the bowler’s home ground, Trent Bridge.
Tim Bresnan
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s pace-man, Chris Tremlett, suffered a hamstring injury.
However, Bresnan’s inclusion on the squad came with much fortune for England’s Captain, after the bowler went on to deliver an exceptional run on the series, making good use of his opportunity.
Bresnan not only earned an impressive tally of 7 wickets during the Trent Bridge game, but also served his team proud, through an exceptional 90-run contribution with the bat.
As for the recent fixture, the medium pacer secured 5 wickets, including the game’s final dismissal of the Indian tail ender, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Sreesanth-c2398.
With a budding Test profile worth 9 matches, Bresnan will definitely serve as a potent threat to the already under fire Indians.

Although Graeme Swann has not been performing his usual in the proceeding competition, the spinner, with ample bowling experience, surely stands out as another potential troublemaker for the Indians.
With a limited Test career spanning over three years, Swann made his Test premier in 2008 against India. The off-break bowler has played 35 matches under the format, grabbing 144 wickets.

James Anderson’s inclusion on the final Test match is still under doubt; however, if the pacer is to make his appearance on the game, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 will surely have to watch out for him. The bowler earned a superb 5-wicket haul during the 2nd innings
at Lord's, and paved the way for an eventual win.
So far, Anderson has earned an impressive aggregate of 18 wickets, making him a danger-man for the opposing team’s top order.
Anderson has played 62 Tests, earning a decent sum of 237 wickets, including his best innings performance worth 7 for 43.
