Michael Vaughan backs Ravi Bopara to shine in 3rd Test – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IJL-Trott-c1576, and perform well
in order to cement his place on the squad. He has also advised the batsman to act like a responsible and senior player, posessing immense experience.
Bopara, who has 10 Test matches to his credit, has been inducted in the squad in place of Trott, who is unfit to play after picking up a shoulder injury. The home team’s 3rd high-stakes Test is going to start today, August 10 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
As Bopara is to play his first 5-day game against India, Vaughan thinks that the batsman can never get such a golden chance to bat against the morally broken Indians, who have lost their momentum after losing the first two Tests.
Vaughan opines that if Bopara succeeds in scoring at least 150 runs, he will be able to get spot for the fourth Test as well, like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711, who replaced injured Chris Tremlett for the 2nd Test and, with his marvellous performance, became
a crucial choice for the selectors ahead of the 3rd game.
Bopara is deeply impressed by the Indian batting legend, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, and considers him to be his idol in International cricket. Vaughan argues that Bopara should keep his personal liking away from this Test and take Tendulkar as a dangerous opponent.
The former captain suggests that the rivals must not be taken easy in Test cricket, which is always a tough battle to fight.
Vaughan expects Bopara to perform as an alert and active fielder and act maturely on the field. He also tells that Bopara is an entertaining batsman when he is in good form.
The former leader is of the view that a full-fledged Test cricket career is mandatory for any English player who wants to earn a big name. He tells that Bopara has bagged enormous revenue from 20-over cricket and now he should focus on his Test career.
Bopara made his Test debut in 2007 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. He has 502 Test runs with 3 centuries to his credit.
