http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 likely to feature in the Rose Bowl ODI – Cricket News Update
The spearhead English spinner, Graeme Swann, will be back in the fold when the hosts will play India in the second One Day International of the ongoing five-match ODI series at the Rose Bowl on Tuesday, September 6.
The 32-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 off-spinner missed the rain ruined series opener at Chester-le-Street on Saturday, due to a stomach upset.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samit-Patel-c2426 had replaced him in the first One Day International of the series and returned with the figures of 42 for 1 from his quota of 10 overs as the tourists posted a competitive total of 274 before the rain forced the umpires to call the match
off after 7.2 overs of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 innings, in which the hosts lost two wickets for 27 runs.
The prolific off-spinner said that he will be targeting the middle-order of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 during the Rose Bowl game.
"In one-dayers, your job is to pick up wickets in the middle overs and not bowl in the end. Some bowlers do bowl at the death but that's not my role," said Swann.
In Saturday’s rain ruined One-Dayer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Parthiv-Patel-c2159 shared a three-digit stand in the middle overs as India went on to score 274 runs from their allotted quota of 50 overs.
The prolific English off-spinner, who has 80 ODI wickets in his name from 56 One-Dayers at an average of 24.38, emphasized on the significance of adapting to the cricketing conditions, track and the batsmen.
"There's different way of approaching it. It's not always going to spin square. Sometimes bowling three or four tight overs will lead to a wicket. So it's about adapting," said Swann.
"Whatever batsmen you bowl at, he is going to play you differently and give you different ways of getting them out. So it's a case of knowing how best to approach that batsman." He added further.
England have outclassed India in every format and every department of the game in the ongoing tour so far. The Poms inflicted a whitewash on the former world number one Test side in the four-match Test series before winning the only T20 International,
and are all set to clean sweep in the ODI series as well, to make it a winless tour for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 and his men.
