http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Paul-Vaughan-c76145 regards England as Favourites against India in Test series – Cricket News Update
Michael Vaughan, the former England captain, has tagged the English as favourites for the ongoing 4-match Test series against India, and thinks that the home team will manage to win the series as they have some match-winning players in their squad. He has
also praised the team coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362, for his vigilant efforts to build up a rock-solid Test team.
Vaughan opines that Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 contain immense cricketing talent in both batting and bowling departments. On the basis of their outstanding performances in the 1st Test, he is confident of the English cricketers’ strengths and skills.
On the contrary, he argues that Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 is severely lacking in their bowling department as they do not have quality seamers and steady spinners. He views that Indians had a chance to strengthen their grip on the series at the Day 1 of Lord’s but their
bowlers failed to take early wickets and it caused them huge damage afterwards.
The top Indian pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/P-Kumar-c2143, who
though bowled well and took wickets, could not stop the mighty English batsmen from piling up runs.
Vaughan is of the view that the Indians are not well-acclimatised with the playing conditions of England as they have had a very short time before the start of the series.
Coming out of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Somerset-c843, before plunging into the Home of Cricket for the 2000th Test of the history.
The ex-skipper has admired the way the English players have struggled to learn and polish their professional skills under the meticulous coachship of Flower. He believes that the home team can elevate to the top position easily after winning this series..
India and England are padded up to start the 2nd Test at Trent Bridge, Nottingham today, July 29, 2011.
