Skipper Strauss Applauds England Performance

July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- England skipper, Andrew Strauss seems super excited with the 196 run victory against India in the opening test. He said it was an exceptionally good performance with stunning batting line-up. During the two innings at Lord’s, England dismissed India for 286 and 261. Strauss said, “Over the two innings, it was as close to perfect bowling performance as it has been in the last two-three years which is saying a lot as we have bowled quite consistently well in this period.”for more information, you can log on to http://www.2011cricketworldcuptickets.com

He further added, “It was an outstanding performance by the whole attack. they showed if you work hard with consistent line and length you could have results on any track.” Double centurion Kevin Pietersen seems to be object of praise for Strauss.
Strauss stated, “Our first innings was a magnificent performance. Kevin was responsible for it - it was one of the best innings I have seen. He was smart enough against seamers, was prepared to graft and when the opportunity presented itself, he attacked. Others batted around him.”

He further added, “It was critical that we survived the tricky first day and on the second day, after the second half it got easier. Jonathan Trott as well on the first morning of the Test gave a good example of his temperament and technique.”

Strauss went on appreciating his present team and said that if they perform to the finest of their potential then they can defeat any team.

He said, “To be a number one side, you need to grab your opportunity and we did so very well today. We demonstrated when we play well, we are good enough.”
Strauss was praising Stuart Broad a lot, as he said, “His position has lately been called to question. It was a big test of his character and Stuart showed immense quality. He bowled very well, his 70 runs were critical to the outcome, he showed his class. It was a tiny reminder to everyone what a great talent he is.”for more information, you can log on to http://www.2011cricketworldcuptickets.com

Absence of injured Zaheer Khan surely costs India a lot, as man of the match Kevin Pietersen stated, “They were calm throughout. We have an analysis of our bowlers and the percentage (of good deliveries) was among their best. Zaheer's absence was a critical loss to them. The other bowlers had to work really hard. Ishant bowled nearly 65 overs and he would be tired in the second Test.”
