Recommended Posts

They will wipe the floor with these pretenders! hahahha. Is the cricket world blinded by the hype of this second rate unit? Philander is just a Darren Sammy like trundler bundling teams out on green tops and he is supposed to trouble England's array of batting talent? He has struggled in county cricket for heavens sake. Then we come to the batting unit, lets just say that the best South African batsman arent playing for South Africa if you catch my drift. Serani's prediction: 3-0.

Strauss's England team put the rest of the world to shame By NASSER HUSSAIN UPDATED: 22:28 GMT, 3 October 2011 Comments (3) Share The one thing that always stands out with this England team is how ready they are, how well prepared they are for every big series. They just look fitter and stronger than every opponent they come across. It is a massive change. Not so long ago England players would turn up for a Test knackered from their county exertions but now they seem to be rested at the right time and are in perfect shape for the games that really matter. They look so trim, too, when you compare them, for instance, with many of the India players we saw this summer. There are seriously good batting talents in and around the England team but bowlers win you games and, at a time when the quality of fast bowling around the world is not what it was, England have a crop that other countries can only dream of fielding. Whether it is in Australia with the Kookaburra ball or against India at home on flat pitches with a Duke, the England bowlers have the necessary skills to make an impact. And the depth, too. When Steven Finn played in one-day internationals towards the end of the summer he was quick and hostile. So much so that the Indian commentators said to me, 'Where has he been?' Look at England in practice. They put the opposition to shame. They are full of intensity, which translates to success on the field. There is consistency and continuity to England's selections that previous generations can only envy. Once a player is regarded as a proper international then he is backed to the hilt. Look at Alastair Cook in 2010 and Stuart Broad this year. A few years ago they would have been banished after a run of poor form but the selectors stuck with them and they came good spectacularly. It is not a closed shop, either, as opportunities given to the next generation towards the end of the summer and in the tour party to India have shown. Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Jade Dernbach, James Taylor, Scott Borthwick, Stuart Meaker, Alex Hales and others are all gaining, and in most cases taking, their senior chances having come through the system. I like the rotation policy, too. When a senior player is left out for any period they come back fresh and perhaps with a point to prove to keep the younger players at bay. Kevin Pietersen must perform in India while Jimmy Anderson will be raring to go when the team go to Dubai and Abu Dhabi to play Pakistan in January. The absolute key - 100 per cent - has been the Andy Flower-Andrew Strauss combination. They are solid and together in everything they do and, importantly, are very good guys. When they talk everyone listens and I have never known them say anything to make themselves look better. It is the way Mike Atherton was in my day. Totally unselfish. And players respond to that. Crucially, though, there is a lot more money around now. The players have everything they need. But it is one thing having money and another spending it well. The ECB have spent it on good people and the counties have bought into what England are doing. England want more success. And they will need Australia, India and South Africa, to name three, to improve and push them as hard as they can. We want to see good battles for the health of the game, but we still want England to come out on top. And it looks as though they will for some time yet.
