England v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Duncan-Anderson-c65612 gives Poms boost ahead of Third Test, Strauss confident
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964, the Test Captain of England, has hailed the performance of his team in the ongoing three match series and welcomed the inclusion of their match winning fast bowler, James Anderson.
Anderson bowled in the first innings of the first Test at Cardiff and picked up three wickets but got himself injured. He was unable to bowl in the second innings. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 still went on to win the match by a huge margin of an innings and 14 runs with three
bowlers.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566, replaced Anderson in the second Test match at Lord’s, which was played from 3rd to 7th June, 2011, and picked four wickets in the first innings. He was impressive. Strauss appreciated his efforts
and claimed he has a bright future ahead of him.
Strauss said, “Steven Finn did some good things at Lord's and got four wickets, which was a good effort. We all know he's got a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adam-Richard-Griffith-c41953 future”.
The second Test at Lord’s ended in a draw and England would like to clinch the series 2-0 instead of drawing the third match and winning the series 1-0. Strauss was convinced and claimed, "We are determined to make it 2-0 and finish the series off”.
Anderson is an experienced campaigner for England and has assisted them with quite a few victories in his career, which is spread over eight years. He has credited his account with 215 Test wickets after appearing in 58 matches.
He will bring back more assurance in the England camp, which can ultimately enhance their chances for the victory. The Captain further commented about him, "He's been very consistent and accurate in his performances for a long time now, so hopefully he'll
be fit and leading the attack”.
England is delivering as a team, their batting, bowling and fielding has been impressive in the series and every player is giving his best.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-Ronald-Bell-c63974 followed him with 103 runs in the first Test.
Their bowlers won them the first Test dramatically and their performance is improving with every match.
The third and final Test will be played at The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rose-c86842 Bowl, Southampton, from 16th June, 2011.
Strauss is satisfied with the overall performance of the team and the bowling department will be back in action with the inclusion of Anderson. He further stressed,
"We've got into decent positions in the two games so far and we want to get the victory this time".
