Pakistan will have to be at their best to beat England, says Azhar Ali – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 and company.
The series between the two countries is going to start from January 17, 2012 with the first Test match at Dubai.
A number of cricket analysts around the world believe that it is going to be a thrilling battle because England is the number one ranked Test team of the world and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 team has been doing brilliantly in all the three formats of the game since the last
one year.
England will surely start the series as favourites because of their top ranking but the conditions in UAE are going to be very different to those in England, and historically, the English have not done that well in batting friendly conditions, where the
ball does not swing a lot.
While speaking to Pakpassion, Azhar expressed that playing international cricket against the best teams is always a great honour and wants to do well against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in the upcoming series. The right-handed batsman believes that the series between the two
teams is going to be an exciting one.
He said, “As a youngster you dream of playing for your country against the top sides and for me to hopefully get the chance to face England again, this time in the UAE next year will be a great achievement. It should be a great series, a competitive series
and a series that will no doubt provide some fantastic cricket.”
Although Pakistan team has been doing very well in the recent past, Azhar feels that the Green Shirts will have to be at their best in order to dismantle the number one ranked Test team of the world, which is full of confidence at the moment.
“We need to be on top of our game and at our best if we are to compete against England and we simply cannot afford to be below par in any facet of our cricket”, said Azhar.
