Stuart Broad not taking India lightly – Cricket News Update
Indian bowling might have been their weak link of late but England skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 is not reading too much into that, as the two sides gear up to play each other in a T20 World Cup Group A match, at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo today, Sunday, September 23, 2012.
While speaking to media reporters on the eve of the summit clash, the 26-year-old http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 gangling pacer said that they would not be reading too much into India’s weaknesses, rather they will focus on their strengths going into the match.
“They have some experienced bowlers but they have a very strong batting line-up … We would rather concentrate on our strengths,” said the English skipper when asked to comment on India’s weak bowling line up.
"They’ve players who can be dangerous if they are allowed to get set. Obviously, we have watched the match against Afghanistan and we have some strategy for them," he added further.
After having played their group matches at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, England will head to Hambantota or Pallekele to play their Super Eight matches. Broad was also surprised to see the quick wickets in Hambantota and Pallekele and vowed to exploit the seam friendly conditions there during the knock out stages.
"It's good that it's helping the fast bowlers,” said the right-arm medium pacer, who has to date played 39 T20 Internationals and has claimed 43 wickets at an impressive average of 22.83.
“I watched Kallis' spell against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 and was pretty impressed seeing the carry as well as some of the deliveries that skidded off the surface...Hopefully, once we are in Pallekele for our Super Eights, we would be able to exploit those conditions," he added further.
Both the sides have already qualified for the Super Eight Stage, after having beaten minnows http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s 23-run win.
To date, India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 have played each other twice in the history of T20 World Cup, with both sides winning one game each.
