Geoff Miller urges the England team to regroup before the second Test – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 and company will bounce back in style by winning the Headingley Test.
The home team started the series as favourites because of their recent performances at the ultimate level of the game. The Proteas however, played out of their skins in the first match to outclass the Poms and are threatening their number one ranking
in the longer version of the sport.
Apart from the defeat, the team management and the fans are more concerned about the manner in which their side was thrashed by the visitors, the Poms being able to pick up just two wickets in the match after conceding 637 runs, consequently losing
the Test by an innings and 12 runs.
Confessing England’s poor show in the Oval Test, Miller, the former Test all-rounder, urged his team to regain their confidence before the second Test, which is scheduled to begin on August 2, at the Headingley Leeds.
Miller is still satisfied with the depth in the England squad, which possesses a number of experienced players, who have played a massive role in the last five years to make their country the top-ranked Test playing nation of the globe.
“We were outplayed during the first Test last week but it is important that this squad regroups and focuses on preparing for the second Test,” the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 selector said. “This is a talented squad with plenty of international experience
and they will be determined to improve on the performance during the first Test,” said the national selector.
The former off-spinner does not want to press the panic button after just one poor performance, showing confidence on the current lot of players to deliver the goods in the remainder of the series and retain their title.
"We have played a lot of good cricket over the last few years and it's important we remember that, learn from the mistakes that we made and retain the belief that we can level this series at Headingley," http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Miller-c76318 added further.
