Vaughan Says He Is Ready​

England Test Captain Michael Vaughan says he is ready Physically and Mentally to face India in the upcoming nPower Test Series. The Yorkshire batsmen knows his side can win.

At the pre-match press conference, Vaughan said :"India are a very difficult side to beat weather you are at home or away. Practically, they have the best batting line-up in the World with the likes of Sachin, Sourav, Sehwag and Laxman".
"In the Ashes Series in Australia last winter, we played poorly and were outclassed by some superb Australian talent. However, I am sure that we can regain that form and hopefully beat India."

1st Test Match Preview​

The second part of England's Cricketing Summer will kick off in a couple of days time as England will face India in the first test Match at Lord's.

In the 2006/07 Ashes Series down under in Australia was a horrifying tour for England Cricket. Despite being ranked third in the World Test Rankings, England will look to bring back their Ashes 2005 form against a tough Indian side. However, a major setback will be that Simon Jones will not be part of this series as he is still struggling with an injury. Also Ashley Giles called it a day after the 2006-07 Ashes Series. Giles' replacement will be Monty Panesar. He blossomed during the Pakistan series giving Younis Khan an absoloute jaffer to get him out.

Facts on Lord's
Ground Records:
Highest Scorer: 333 Graham Gooch, England vs India, 1990
Best Bowling Figures: 16-137 RAL Massie, Australia vs England, 1972
Most Runs Scored: 2015 @ 53.02 Graham Gooch, England.
Most Wickets Taken: 69 @ 24.53 Ian Botham, England.
Highest Team Score: 729-6 declared, Australia vs England, 1930

So the stage is all set. Day 1 of the First Test will begin tomorrow. Sky Sports will be on air at 10:00am ready for the pre-match chat. Until then it is goodbye from us.

Very very nice build-up here.

That's a very good update. England should beat India, although India will be having the upper hand as this ground looks like a batting ground according to the records. India have some great batsmen and can put up a very good total.

Nice build-up for the match.

 

[Highlander999]

So far, good build up

Look forward to the match starting
