Shane Warne urges Andrew Strauss to be a bit more pro-active against India this summer
The Australian spin legend, Shane Warne, has advised the England skipper to be a little bit more pro-active and aggressive in the upcoming Test series against India, if they are to defeat the numero uno Test side this summer.
The 41-year-old leg-spinner from Victoria suggested the England bowling attack to be patient and consistent while playing against the world class Indian line-up.
"For England to take the next step it is about patience when they are bowling. That means they have to be more consistent,” the former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 skipper was quoted as saying by an Australian tabloid newspaper.
“If they can find that patience and if http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964 can be a little bit more pro-active rather than being safe and conservative that will rub off on the rest of the team," he added further.
Former England skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Michael-Paul-Vaughan-c76145 has also described Strauss as a defensive captain and Dhoni as an aggressive leader
"He is quite a defensive captain. He likes to make the game safe before he attacks,” said Vaughan of Strauss while talking to the media reporters today. "Dhoni has been exceptional. He seems to get the best out of all his players. He is quite an aggressive
captain," he added.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 batsman Ian Bell has regained form. He said that Bell’s performance over the past few weeks has once again proven that he is a quality player and that makes Poms’ batting line-up strong against India.
“…seeing him (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IR-Bell-c1597) play over the last two years he has looked a quality player,” said the leg-spin prodigy. “If you put Bell in form, Cook, Trott, Strauss, Pietersen with the x-factor and Morgan's variety together then suddenly you have got a h**l of
a top six," he added.
Warne was happy that Chris Tremlet has finally become a mature bowler. He reckoned being the spearhead of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851 bowling attack has helped the 29-year-old pacer improve his game. Warne urged the Hampshire-born medium pacer to utilize the opportunity in a
best way as the Australian feared he did not capitalize the chance given to him this time, he might be pushed to one side.
England is scheduled to play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in a four-match Test series followed by a one-off T20 International and five One Day Internationals at home this summer.
