http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 happy with his side’s showing in the first tour match – Cricket News Update
England’s bowling spearhead, James Anderson, is satisfied with his side’s performance in the just-finished opening tour match against India ‘A’ and feels that the Poms can dismantle the Men in Blue if they continue to play like this.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026 and company are all set to play a four-match Test series against India, which starts on November 15, at Ahmedabad.
The visitors have started the tour in a convincing manner, impressing the sporting analysts with some delightful performances with both bat and ball in the 3-day match, ringing alarm-bells for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s team management.
In response to the home team’s 369, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samit-Patel-c2426. The two of them scored 169 runs for the fifth-wicket partnership, helping their side
take a sizeable lead in the first innings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Prior-c1984 also scored brilliant half-centuries, showing signs of good form ahead of an all-important series.
Anderson is delighted with the fight his team showed on a rough pitch and feels that they need to come up with such gutsy performances in the Tests as well, if the visitors have a chance of beating India.
"We got two guys getting hundreds, couple of fifties in there and the lower order chipped in with useful runs as well and I think that's going to be the way we're going to win Test matches out here," the fast bowler expressed.
The English bowlers also did a reasonable job in the tour match, with Anderson, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 chipping in with important scalps.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 cricketer thinks that the team had a satisfactory outing, with every single individual getting handy match-practice.
"I think it was pretty good," Anderson said. "I think it was going to be difficult for us but I think we got what we needed to get out of the game. The bowlers got a decent bowl under the belt, a few [batsmen] got decent hits out in
the middle and that's pretty much all we could expect."
England begin their second practice match from tomorrow against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 ‘A’.
