Steve Waugh urges India to improve its reserve bench if they are to dominate world cricket - Cricket News Update
Former Australia skipper, Steve Waugh, has urged India to increase its reserve bench if they are to continue their current dominance on world cricket.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Rodger-Waugh-c91216, who was present at the historic Lord’s venue to witness the ongoing high profile Test match between India and England, the 2000th in the history of cricket and 100th between the two teams, shared his viewpoint in a free-wheeling
chat with the media.
“If India has to dominate world cricket, then the reserve bench has to improve,” said the legendary Australia all-rounder. “They should not feel the pinch in the absence of one or two major cricketers...They should be ready to take up any challenge,” he
added further.
India is currently ruling the perch of cricket as they are the world champions as well the number one Test team in the world. The 46-year-old former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 have some potential match winners as well as some experienced old
faces in their current squad.
“On top of it, almost six-seven cricketers are same old faces who are playing together for quite some time,” said Waugh, who led http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 to World Champ title in 1999.
“This really helps a lot when the team is hungry and eager to win. We had Gilchrist, Warne, McGrath, Martyn and we also won many matches because we were playing with these boys at a stretch for many Test matches,” he added further.
England, after humiliating Australia in the latest Ashes rivalry in the 2010-11 Australian summer, are all set to challenge India’s No. 1 Test spot. Steve Waugh reckoned Poms are great contenders to challenge India’s supremacy. He said that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 have
been doing very well over the past couple of years and are in very good shape to challenge Dhoni and his Men in Blue.
India, the numero uno Test side, and England, the world’s Test number three, are scheduled to play four Tests this summer in the latter’s backyard; with the first Test underway at Lord’s since Thursday. If England managed to win the four-match Test series
with a margin of two games, they would get past India at the top of the ICC’s Test rankings table.
