The big tests for the English batsman will be there patience cos on those slow tracks scoring 4 or even 3 an over is difficult. If they feel they have to score 300 plus a day then they will lose wickets. In England they are used to scoring fast and they do it well with pacey tracks but in UAE they will have to use there feet more and wrist action so the likes of Bell and KP may struggle but I can see Morgan do well along with the dogged Trott and Cook.
bell!!???
bell has the finest technique, he is a fine player of spin, and his footwork is second to none. i hope it is a case of you getting bell mixed up with morgan, because otherwise, you look a bit silly!
IF KP gets his head right he can do what he wants in the middle hes that good. He averaged over an 100 in the series against India..
We have the best bowling attack in the world, ask the Indians & Aussies, let our opponenst worry about us for a change, if the pitches are going to be flat & like dust bowls we have the best spinner in the world, even if we win 1 test, can you see the Pakistanis bowling England out twice ? No me neither !
I think that you guys are getting ahead of yourselves a bit! We are a fine test team but i don't think it will be as easy as you guys think... England ALWAYS seem to struggle in the sub-cont & Pak are a solid side now. I think England will win the series but Pak have a very good bowling attack & i don't even want to think about what Ajmal is going to do to our batsman..
