Nasser Hussain wants the English bowlers to do well, expecting Finn to be included for the Headingley Test - Cricket News Update
Former England captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in the second Test at Headingley, starting August 2nd.
England started the series at the Oval with four specialist bowlers, but their quartet was severely punished by the opposition batsmen with each one of them conceding more than 100 runs and in process, managing to take only two Proteas wickets.
The 44-year-old expects an equally flat track awaiting the Poms at Headingley and thinks that with Finn’s pace, the Englishmen can fancy their chances to break down a formidable Proteas batting lineup. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711 is the likely ‘fall guy’ after his unimpressive
outing in the first Test.
“England will have to consider bringing in Steven Finn for Tim Bresnan, as much as anything for the ‘oomph’ that has been lacking here,” said the former right-handed batsman.
English bowlers were lucky to pick http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Petersen-c1028 in the third over of the South African innings but then they took just one wicket in the next 186 overs. The visitors posted a huge 637, which is the highest innings total for the loss of two wickets in
Test history.
The Poms looked off-colour with the ball and failed to trouble the opposition, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 was severely criticised for his below-par performance and a poor line and length, gifting the batsmen too many loose balls to play with.
“This is an England bowling attack that we have been proud of and for them to take only two wickets in the match is the biggest concern,” Hussain said
However, the 44-year-old praised the opposition bowlers for utilising the conditions to their full advantage, the Proteas pace batteries picket 16 wickets in the match with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528 being the stand out performers.

“For once it has been the opposition who have had far more options with the ball, the seamers moving it more and the spinner turning it more. It has to be a worry that on a pretty flat pitch South Africa were able to take 18 more wickets than http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013,” the
former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Essex-c783 player said.
