http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mickey-Arthur-c1969 brings Aggressive Aussies for the Englishmen – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 is visiting the English soil this June for a 5-One Day International (ODI) series and the words of warning are already coming into play. Australian coach, Mickey Arthur, has assured the Englishmen that they will have to face only aggression from
the visitors.
The tour will kick-off from June 21 when the Aussies would face-off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leicestershire-c807 for the warm up match only to be followed by a one-off ODI against an improving Irish team on June 23. The first ODI between the two rivals will take place on June 26 at Lord’s.
While the visitors currently hold the top slot in the ODI cricket, their coach is well aware of the daunting task which lies ahead, where they will face one of the best English sides in recent times, "http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 are playing really well. I watched them the other
day and they played some good cricket. They are tough in their own conditions.” Speaking to Sky Sports, Arthur made his intentions very clear, "We are world number ones and we aim to come out and play a really good, exciting and sustainable brand of cricket."
Earlier the Australians have decided to introduce some youngsters for the tour, the inclusion of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Pattinson-c1653.
The youngsters are expected to appear in the 2013 Ashes and playing this series would give them valuable experience of playing in the English conditions and get familiar with the use of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duke-c54717 ball in order to better equip their skills. Speaking on the
changes in the squad the South African said, "We're a changing team and the aim for us is to stay number one while we keep evolving as a side. That's a challenge in itself."
Earlier, the Australian captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 had expressed his desire to improve the ODI results for his team as he’s not completely convince by the consistency of their ODI record lately. Last week, after finishing the season as world’s number one side,
the Aussies were presented with the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 shield. Clarke’s men haven’t lost a series in the past 12 months.
“We have an exciting team. We have some real firepower in our attack and we're looking forward to a good, interesting series," the former Proteas coach added.
The tour will conclude on July 10 with the final match of the series to be played at Old Trafford.
