speed_demon Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Well are we up for another whitewash? LONDON: England paceman Tim Bresnan on Tuesday said they are looking to hit India hard in the upcoming one-day series as they aim to inflict another whitewash on the hapless World Champion side. India will go into the five-match ODI series, starting September 3, without five of their World Cup heroes due to injuries. Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan have all been ruled out of ODI action and Gautam Gambhir is also likely to miss the series due to concussion. "India might be favourites because they won the World Cup only a few months ago. But we're quite difficult to beat at home in one-day cricket as we showed against Sri Lanka. "If we hit our straps against India we should get the result we're after. We hit them hard in the Test matches and we'll be looking to do the same in the one-dayers," Bresnan, who is a also utility batsman, said. The burly pacer said they are eyeing nothing short of victory in all the remaining matches in the tour, which also includes a one-off Twenty20 on Wednesday. "India are a top side and we have to respect them in all forms, - especially the shorter ones. But we're out to win every game, that's our mentality," Bresnan was quoted as saying. Bresnan felt that it was right decision to rest Kevin Pietersen for the ODIs. "It's good for him to get a break. No Kevin Pietersen in the side just provides a chance for someone else to step up to the plate and show us what they can do."

vamos_rafa Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I really hope we do a STFU to this fatso boy. Though it would not cover up for the test series loss but still....
Trichromatic Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 That's what teams and players should aim for.
Geoff Boycott Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 That's what teams and players should aim for. Exactly. If Bresnan had said, "we will whitewash those cocky Indian bastards" then this might actually be an interesting article.
Cricket Tragic Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I don't see anything wrong with it. :dontknow:
Ramzz Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Whatever he has said has come true in this series...lol
Number Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 shut up Motu.. vaise hi time achha nahi chal raha. I think a lot will depend on how we bat in the first ODI. If we can get 250+ in the first game , it will help players in moving on from dismal performance in test series. And if that happens we will win 2 games out of 5 for sure.
Trichromatic Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 Exactly. If Bresnan had said' date=' "we will whitewash those cocky Indian bastards" then this might actually be an interesting article.[/quote'] Exactly. Then only this article would have deserved a separate thread on ICF.
