England v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 2011 – Kumar Sangakkara captains, James Anderson returns 3rd Test
After winning the first Test at Cardiff and then ending the second Test at Lord’s without a result, the English side are definitely in a better position than the visiting Sri Lankan side, who will be going into the third Test without their newly appointed
skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tillakaratne-Mudiyanselage-Dilshan-c93947, who has been ruled out because of an injury to his thumb.
In his place, former skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779 will be dawning on the Southampton pitch for the last time as the captain of the Lankans. For the tourists, this match means everything because they need to clinch a victory in the match to level the series.
The Lankans will be heavily depending on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nishad-Tharanga-Paranavitana-c79696, who will need
to see off the English pacers and then build a partnership with his fellow batsmen.
In the bowling department the visitors will be depending on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thilan-Thusara-Samaraweera-c93199 may also come in handy with his off-breaks and he can
equally be important in the batting department as well.
If http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MF-Maharoof-c1944 is chosen to play he will also help in the bowling department as he is a useful bowler with his fast medium pace.
On the other hand, England will welcome their ace bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Clayton-Anderson-c65552’s, return to the squad after he missed the second Test because of a potential side strain. The bowler is said to be fully fit and raring to have a go at the Sri Lankan batsmen. With
Anderson back in the team, spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Graeme-Peter-Swann-c60513 will also be extremely lethal for the Lankans.
Pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Christopher-Timothy-Tremlett-c51014, will be a headache for the Lankans, as the 29-year old seems to be in the best form of his career. He certainly wreaked havoc on the tourists in the second Test and will be aiming to do the same in the third fixture.
With an astounding bowling brigade, Andrew Strauss’s team is backed by batsmen, who can became a bowlers worst nightmare on any given day and right now http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-Ronald-Bell-c63974, are in phenomenal
form, and will http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pile-c82289 up runs against the Sri Lankans if given an opportunity.
