both the openers before lunch.
Ganguly expressed that he knew before the series that the English bowlers will struggle against the Indian team, which is considered as one of the best batting line-ups of the world.
The ‘Prince of Kolkata’ said that the English bowlers had a poor time against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in the recently concluded Test series and the Islanders were able to post big scores on the board throughout the series, with an exception of the second innings of the
first Test at Cardiff.
He also claimed that India has a much stronger batting line-up as compared to the Sri Lankans and one should expect the world champions to pile up big scores during the series.
