Nasser Hussain advises http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasser-Hussain-c78777, the former captain of Team England, has advised the English to browbeat the World Champions, India, beforehand, by defeating Sri Lanka in the ongoing Test series at home. Hussain expressed these thoughts ahead of the final clash of the series
at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rose-c86842 Bowl.
England won the first Test and finished up the second with a draw. The 3rd game is going to start today, June 16, 2011.
The Men in Blue are scheduled to visit England next month to play a bilateral series of 4 Tests, 1 T20 and 5 ODIs. Hussain thinks that right now there is a golden opportunity for the English to demoralise the Indians by beating the Lankan http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808.
Nasser said, “This may feel like a low-key series, but it's important England rise above the apathy and dispose of a troubled Sri Lanka side over the next few days.”
He further elaborated, “A 1-0 series win would feel like a bit of an anti-climax after the last-minute heroics in Cardiff. With India on the horizon, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 will be desperate to make a statement - dodgy weather permitting.”
The Indians are filled with great form, confidence and passion after lifting the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup Trophy at home. They currently pose to be the world’s top-ranked Test and second-placed ODI team.
Moreover, the Indians are in good practice for last four months by playing two lengthy tournaments, the World Cup and the Indian Premier League.
The English Test skipper, Andrew Strauss, is eager to make his team the World’s No 1 side.
Strauss said some days back, “I have never beaten http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in a Test series and, if we want to be the best side in the world, we have got to start by doing that.”
Nasser has always been a great support and inspiration for the English players. The 43-year-old former opening batsman retired from the international cricket in 2004, after playing 96 Tests and 88 ODIs for England.
The Indian-born batsman took the reins of the English side from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alec-James-Stewart-c43081 in 1999 and led them to claim many victories during his tenure.
