Tim Bresnan not discouraged with England’s 5-0 defeat at the ODI stint – Cricket News Update
England’s speedster, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711, has revealed his delight after the Poms earned an imposing 6 wickets win during the one-off Twenty20 (T20) match at the Eden Gardens, in Kolkata on October 29, 2011; earning a worthy come back against the Men in Blue hosts,
which secured a dominant 5-0 triumph at the One Day International (ODI) stint from England’s just concluded tour of India.
However, despite England’s complete whitewash at the opening leg of their visit, Bresnan said that he was not discouraged since his in-form roster has already delivered an exceptional performance throughout the year, marking two summits at the major formats
of the sport – but at the same time, feels that the Poms still need to keep improving.
“To be number one in the world in two out of three competitions ... we’re not in a bad place, are we, really? Test match cricket is the pinnacle of the sport. The way we’ve played our cricket over this year is fantastic, but we’re still looking to improve
in any way we can,” said Bresnan.

Unfortunately for the Men in Blue, the hosts suffered a quick blow during the innings’ first two overs, complements to England’s new ball pair of, Bresnan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566, who restricted the side’s top order batters to make an early departure to the pavilion.
As for the remaining damage, thanks to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RD-Shah-c2298 Bopara’s haul of 2 wickets, and the major damage offered by Bresnan and Finn, India was finally reduced to piling up a minor tally of 120 runs.
Offering a worthy start for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806, who in association with
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samit-Patel-c2426, covered a major share of the trail, which was left to cover by the undefeated partnership of Bopara and Jonny Bairstow – leading England to their only win on the tour.
During his post match comments, Bresnan also commended his fellow bowlers on the team, for retaining an impressive performance throughout the competition, and lauded the young lot for delivering an imposing run for the Poms.
