http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vangipurappu-Venkata-Sai-Laxman-c94905 reckons Fletcher’s presence as a blessing for team India - Cricket New Update
India’s Test veteran and man in form, VVS Laxman, has reckoned the presence of new coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duncan-Andrew-Gwynne-Fletcher-c54742 as a blessing for the Men in Blue.
The 36-year-old hailed Fletcher as he said, "It has been brilliant working with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duncan-c54739, the time we spent with him in West Indies was very encouraging and you know from just talking to him that he has such a deep knowledge of the game.”
After showcasing a scintillating tour to Caribbean, Laxman, is all set to record another promising performance, this time against a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
The 62-year-old, Fletcher, was handed over the reins of Indian Cricket team after their World Cup winning coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 successfully accomplished
their goal of winning the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2011 and emerged as the first hosts to claim the prestigious competition in the history of One-Day cricket.
Fletcher kicked off his coaching stint in an impressive manner after India dominated the Caribbean Kings on their home soil. Now India will lock-horns against the English side at the latter’s backyard, a side that has recently beaten the Lankan http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 in
both the major formats of the game.
India’s newly appointed mentor enjoys an evident psychological edge over the hosts as he has served England for 8 long years as coach of their national side. During his tenure with the English cricket team, the 62-year-old Zimbabwean not only guided them
towards improving their Test-rankings but he also assisted them in reviving their lost Ashes glory, which they regained after 18-years, in 2005.
India’s inaugural Test of the npower series at Lord’s against the hosts will be their new coach’s 100th Test encounter. Laxman opined that till now Fletcher’s attitude with the reigning World Champions is quite friendly and his suggestions in
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 really helped the 36-year-old to raise the standard of his game.
Currently, both the sides seem to be at the top of their game; with England desperately aiming to clinch the top spot from India, the battle between these two cricketing giants is predicted to bring out their A-games.
Regarding his current form, the right-hander said, "Probably the position in the batting order I have had has been a factor because I've made a lot of fifties, but not been able to convert them into hundreds."
