England will not throw away the top position like India, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasser-Hussain-c78777 – Cricket News Update
Former England captain, Nasser Hussain, has claimed that England will be the number one Test playing nation after the four-match series against India and they will retain the crown for a long time to come.
England and India are currently up against each other in one of the most talked about Test series of the modern times. England won the first couple of matches of the series at Lords and Trent Bridge by a massive margin to lead the series 2-0.
The home team is now favourites to beat India comprehensively in the series and a victory margin of two matches will ensure that England replaces India as the best Test team of the world.
Hussain, who is now a professional commentator, was all praise for the present England team and feels that he is unable to find any flaw in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Prior-c1984, Stuart
Broad and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711 have scored heavily in the series.
Former England captain said, "You look through the England line-up, and there is nobody you would want to replace. It is the all-round depth that really impresses me. In the past you might choose a slightly inferior bowler because he could bat a bit."
England’s premier fast bowler, Chris Tremlett, faced a hamstring injury after the Lord’s Test and the cricket pundits thought that the English bowing will struggle in the second Test. However, Tim Bresnan, who replaced Tremlett in the playing eleven, picked
up seven wickets in the match and scored a crucial 90 in the second innings, to show the bench strength of the English team.
Hussain added that once http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 reached the top spot, they will not throw it away that easily like India.
"They will get to No 1, probably by the end of this series - which they need to win by two clear Tests to replace India - and they will stay there for a long time. I certainly don't see England taking a backward step as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 have done here,” Hussain added.
