Jonny Bairstow hopeful of England victory at Eden Gardens – Cricket News Update
The English middle-order batsman, Jonny Bairstow, is hopeful that his team will get a positive result in the third Test against India at the Eden Gardens.
Losing the first game at Ahmedabad by 9 wickets, the English side put up an unbelievable show and secured a 10-wicket win against India in Mumbai, leveling the four-match series 1-1.
“The confidence and morale of the side is obviously very high at the moment. Definitely it’s an exciting time for us as a batting unit. Also the bowlers are doing so well, it very pleasant for us and gives us the right confidence ahead of the third Test,”
said Bairstow.
The 23-year old revealed that the English side will go into the 3rd Test with added confidence at the back of their Mumbai outing and will look to extend their winning run.
“We will obviously go the same way as in the first two Tests. We have got some confidence from the Test at Wankhede and will be looking to take that into the remaining two Tests. Hopefully, we will come out with a positive result,” Bairstow added.
Bairstow further believed that performances by the skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806, will motivate others in the team to rise up to the occasion. The duo played exceptionally well in the second game in Mumbai, with KP finding back
his dazzling batting form.
On the other hand, the Indian side is facing numerous controversies concerning their captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, which will certainly not bode well for the upcoming clash.
The skipper Dhoni, after taking it out on the umpires who gave a few bad judgments during the two games, faced criticism from the curator at Eden Gardens, Prabir Mukherjee, who tagged Dhoni’s call for turning tracks as “immoral”.
The Master batsman, Tendulkar, is finding it hard to put sufficient runs under his belt and has been under-fire from several quarters. After http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ricardo-Gouveia-c84824 Ponting’s retirement, the veteran may be pushed harder to make a call on his illustrious career amidst strong
pressure from his critics.
Not having taken a look at the pitch in Kolkata for the 3rd Test, Bairstow feels http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 must have had a detailed round-up of the track and will make the right decision before the match.
