http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 regards Subcontinent as final frontier for England – Cricket News Update
England’s specialist spinner, Graeme Swann, believes that the Sub-continent is the final frontier for the Poms to conquer, before they usher an era of long-term domination on the cricket world.
According to Swann, winning the upcoming Test series against Pakistan will be the completion of his team’s journey, which started with Ashes 2009 triumph. Though England has gained the top Test rank in International cricket, they are is keen to cement this
position by winning on Asian soil.
Swann reveals that the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, which will be held in January 2012 at UAE, is currently the focal point for Andrew Strauss’ men, who are h**l-bent to prove to the world that they can win anywhere.
Talking to the media yesterday, Chin said, “I think you always look at different areas where you want to win stuff and those tend to be where you’ve struggled in the past. Looking ahead, winning and winning well in the subcontinent is probably the last big
accomplishment for us as a Test unit.”
In Swann’s view, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 have some versatile players in their camp, who can adapt to any type of conditions and deliver match-winning performances. He told, “We’ve got a team who can adapt to different conditions and it’s up to us to show the sort of qualities
you need to win in these places.”
The offspinner anticipates a big role which the dry and flat pitches of the Subcontinent will offer him to play in the high-profile series. “It’s a big couple of tours for me because the wickets are likely to take spin and I’m looking forward to being the
focal point of the attack again," stated Chin.
The spin star was impressive during England’s last tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750; however, his side lost the series disgracefully.
With the dawn of the next year, the English will have to face two tough challenges in the Subcontinent, including a 3-Test series against the Men in Green and a 2-match competition against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
Swann hopes that they will thrive in both events passionately. The 32-year-old right-arm bowler has played 36 Test matches so far, grabbing 153 wickets with an excellent economy rate of 2.97.
