England Cricket Fans

The off spinner of the England Cricket Team, James Tredwell, is in the national squad that will make its way to Sri Lanka next month for a long One-Day International series.
Tredwell is the only specialist spinner in the squad and considering the nature of Sri Lankan pitches, he should play in every match.
It’s an opportunity for Tredwell to establish his place in the XI. Currently, he is in competition with the Worcestershire player Moeen Ali who seems to be developing pretty quickly as a bowler.

Andrew Flintoff’s fans might see him playing in Australia towards the end of this year as the veteran all rounder has made it clear that he has received offers from several BBL sides and he would take a decision on that soon.

Andrew Flintoff believes that what happened in Nottingham between the Indian all rounder Ravindra Jadeja and the English fast bowler James Anderson is not good for the game at all.

In the first test match between India and England which had taken place at Nottingham, Anderson was continuously having a verbal go at Jadeja in the morning session of the second day.

Although Andrew Flintoff has made his comeback in the shortest form of the game in England’s domestic set up, Mitchell Johnson doesn’t feel that he would be able to sign up for any team for the next edition of the Big Bash League which will be played towards the end of this year.

Johnson who has recently returned to Australia after representing Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League said, “Andrew’s been out since quite a while, 5 years to be precise I reckon. So, for him to come back and perform as well as he used to, it’s extremely difficult.”

Jos Buttler reckons that he can play the same role for the England test team as Adam Gilchrist used to play for the Kangaroos a few years back.

Gilchrist redefined test match batting when he was at the peak of his career. Coming at no. 7, he played numerous attacking knocks for Australia which proved to be match winning contributions at the end.

Buttler hopes to do something similar for the Poms if he gets the opportunity to play 5-day cricket.

The wicketkeeper of the England Cricket team, Jos Buttler, has admitted that Kevin Pietersen’s exit is a huge loss for England cricket, but, at the same time, he has also said that people need to move on from that controversy now.
Many English cricket lovers are still having a debate on Pietersen’s axe. Some think that it was a foolish decision by ECB, while, some think that it might prove to be blessing in disguise.

According to Buttler, there is no point debating now as the decision has already been taken and it can’t be reversed.

The painful tour of Australia is finally over for England. They lost the final T20 match too by a huge margin.

England played a total of 13 international games on the tour out of which they lost 12. These numbers are enough to suggest how much humiliation the Poms suffered during their time down under.

When they had taken the flight to Australia, they would have been expecting themselves to bring all the three trophies home, but, right from the time the first ball got delivered in that Brisbane test match, nothing went right for them.

The England cricket team might have lost the Adelaide test match by a big margin, but, there are some positives to take out for them from that match. One of those positives is the way Joe Root batted in the second innings.

The last few weeks haven’t been easy for the 21 years old Yorkshire player. He had gone to Australia thinking that he would open at least in the first couple of test matches. But, that didn’t happen. He was demoted in the batting order in the first test match and was asked to bat at no. 6.

The off spinner of the England Cricket Team, Graeme Swann, has said that if his team has to win the Ashes series for the 4th consecutive time, it will have to post big totals in Australia.

The England cricket team will take on Australia in the first match of the 2-match T20 series at Ageas Bowl on Thursday.

This is only the second time that England is going to face the Kangaroos in the shortest format of the game on home soil.

Stuart Broad is back to captain the England T20 side after not featuring in the home series against New Zealand before the Champions Trophy, and is being touted by bet australia as the main England hope.
