Our bowling attack's record speaks for itself, says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 – Cricket News Update
Just ahead of the crucial battle against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 captain, is all praise for his bowling line-up and expressed that he possesses some of the best bowlers of the world.
The first of the three-match Test series against the Proteas starts today at the Oval, with the home team’s number one ranking at stake.
Some of the most extra-ordinary bowlers of the globe will be in action in the battle, including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JM-Anderson-c1705, who are among the best fast bowlers of the present-day sport.
It is widely expected that the outcome of the series will be decided by the bowlers and the spectators will see wickets crumble like a house of cards. On the contrary however, the two sides also have world-class batsmen, having the
ability to make the job tougher for the opposing bowlers.
The left-handed opening batsman expressed that his bowlers have played a massive role in helping their country become the best Test team going around. As a captain, Strauss is extremely comfortable with the bowling combination, Swann
being one of the best in the business to compliment Anderson, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711.
"Our bowling attack's record speaks for itself," said Strauss. "We haven't needed that fifth bowler while taking 20 wickets pretty much continuously over the last 24 months or so. our three seamers and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501]
have always done a good job for us.”
There are some question marks about England’s ability to pick up 20 wickets in a match in the sub-continent, but in English conditions, where the ball moves a bit more in the air and also off the pitch, Anderson and company are matchless.
England have a number of high quality seam bowlers who can fit in the side, causing a welcome headache to the team management. However, the Poms are not likely to rotate their bowlers in a series of such significance.
"I am very comfortable with our seamers and with our bowling attack, full stop. I think it's a match for any side in the world and I think they have proved that continuously over the last three or four years," the England captain believes.
