England’s next challenge is going and winning in the subcontinent, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasser-Hussain-c78777 – Cricket News Update
The cricketer turned commentator of England, Nasser Hussain, feels that after clinching the world’s number one Test spot, England’s next challenge is going and winning in the subcontinent conditions.
The 43-year-old former England captain said that being consistent in their upcoming tours of subcontinent is the biggest challenge for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 and his men.
“Their main challenge is going to be the subcontinent,” said Hussain when asked whether being dominant for a period of time is England’s next challenge. “Going and winning in the subcontinent. England have got a lot of tours coming up in the subcontinent,
in both forms of the game. So that's going to be their biggest challenge,” he added further.
This summer at home, England mostly relied on their three-prong pace attack, featuring http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501; however, Nasser, the India-born former England captain, emphasized
on the need to find another spinner to compliment Swann on the spin friendly Indian pitches.
Hussain also insisted that the triumphant England side should not get carried away by the recent assent to the top of Test rankings, urging them to remain focused.
“England has not been No. 1 in sport, any sport, for a long time, so these are going to be star names,” said the former cricketer who presently commentates in the international matches.
“There's going to be a lot of attention in England, there's going to be a lot of lucrative deals. They're going to be more recognisable, so they need to not let it go to their head, lose their focus,” he insisted.
He also urged the England selectors and team management to value the current bowling armoury and keep them together at any cost as it is crucial for the Poms at the moment.
When asked why the English have lagged back in ODI cricket recently, Nasser said that it is quite difficult to master every format of the game. He further added that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 have been focusing on Test cricket and that is the reason they are the world’s best
Test side today.
