The Australian master believes unsettling the visitor’s middle-order should be the prime objective of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 bowling attack if they want to fancy their chances against the opposition.
Warne played 24 Tests against the Proteas and enjoyed one of the most successful bowling records against them with 130 wickets at an average of 24.16. The veteran bowler has played against all leading South African batters and exactly knows how to unsettle them.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 comes straight on to bowl as soon as Kallis arrives at the crease,” former right-arm bowler said.

The Melbourne Stars player believes that the spin could make a telling difference in the outcome of the series and advised the hosts to target the Proteas left-handers in Smith, Rudolph and Duminy, all of whom will be vulnerable while facing Swann.
