http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Anthony-Holding-c75756 analyses the England and South African bowling attack – Part Two – Cricket News Update
Continued from the previous part...
While talking about the home team’s bowling line-up, Holding, who was known as ‘whispering death’ during his playing days, expressed that the Poms have an abundance of talent when it comes to seam bowling. However, he maintains that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705 will be
the most important player in the English team.
England is currently the number one ranked Test team of the globe and their bowlers have played a massive role in their success over the years, but the English bowling attack has been criticised for their lack of depth, when it comes to delivering the goods
on flat tracks.
However, Holding thinks that Anderson and company are matchless at home, relishing the cloudy conditions. The popular commentator said that the advantage England holds is the big pool of fast bowlers, who are ably supported by Graeme Swann, one of the leading
spinners of the world.
“The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 in as the spinner,” the former fast bowler said.
As the game’s schedules are getting tighter, the whole world is facing injury issues with their premier fast bowlers, but England is lucky to have the services of more than enough quality bowlers like Anderson, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711, Chris Tremlett,
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Onions-c1449. Any one of them can turn out to be a match-winner on a given day.
Holding maintains that Anderson, who has 267 Test scalps, will play a key role if the home team is to maintain their top ranking. However, he completely understands that the rest of the pace battery can also help http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 destroy the Proteas.
“The support for Anderson which is most likely to be in the shape of Broad and one of three seamers out of Finn, Tremlett or Bresnan have all done well and will not let anyone down. Even if Anderson were to get injured, that does not mean that life will
be easier for the South Africans,” he added.
