Steven Finn gets a last minute call for England’s second Test against India - Cricket News Update
After doubts over English spearhead, Chris Tremlett’s fitness, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, at Trent Bridge Nottingham, on Friday,
July 29, 2011.
Another more likely candidate to replace Tremlett would be the 12th man on the squad, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867 bowler has better chances over Finn, but to his poor luck, Bresnan’s inclusion on the Playing-XI once again comes under doubt.
Following the recent Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 were forced to make their way back to their domestic counties due to a performance stalemate between the two, leaving a tough decision for the English selectors to finalize which
pacer to opt for during the ongoing Test series against India.
Both offered their best on the domestic field; however, Broad was eventually taken up on the playing XI, due to some fair backing from the English Head Coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362.
The opportunity therefore comes as another potent chance for Bresnan, who, if played, will be appearing in his first Test since the Ashes, where the pacer led his side into an impressive win.
As for Finn, with a budding Test profile, the player will also be coming on the squad. Finn has so far participated in 12 Test fixtures with a total of 50 wickets, including his best numbers of 6 for 125.
However, for his current inclusion, Finn will be joining the squad since the bowler seems to be in his best form, following a recent impressive performance against Derbyshire, where Finn managed to earn 5 wickets for 33 runs.
Tremlett on the other hand, developed a hamstring injury while playing the first Test fixture against India at Lord’s. The injury was again raised for a second time during the net practice for the second bout.
However, according to English skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AJ-Strauss-c964, the team stands confident that Tremlett is likely to be fit to play for the second fixture.
“We are very confident he should be fine. But like all these things, because there is such a short turnaround between the two Test matches, we've almost got to wait until tomorrow morning before we're 100% sure one way or another,” said Strauss.
