Excited about Pietersen opening: Strauss


England captain Andrew Strauss feels a team’s 67-run win over Pakistan in a final warm-up diversion is a right kind of certainty upholder compulsory after a degrading 1-6 ODI array detriment opposite Australia.

“We had 6 great days in Bangladesh. We have been buoyed by a opening opposite Pakistan. We have a full patrol with Swann fasten us. Everyone is fit as good as healthy. Now you need to get off to a great start,” Strauss told mediapersons upon a night before of their opening organisation joining tie opposite a Netherlands.

Strauss certified which England did not fool around “smart cricket” during a seven-match ODI array in Australia.

“It was a frustrating dual or 3 weeks in Australia.

There were injuries during a wrong time. And you did not fool around intelligent cricket. The pass right away is if you wish to win a tournament, you have to be consistent. You got to do it as have a difference of course.”

Claiming which it was all about confidence, Strauss said, “We got behind a certainty after a diversion opposite Pakistan.

We got informed as good as gentle upon a basement of a one-day cricket in a final dual years. We need to set up upon those patently as good as these organisation matches gives you an event to do that.”

On a most discussed subject of Kevin Pietersen opening a innings with Strauss, a skipper said, “I’m really vehement about that. The indications have been flattering good. Matt Prior played brilliantly entrance during series 6 opposite Canada as good as played a cameo opposite Pakistan as well. We regularly felt Kevin Pietersen can pullulate during a tip upon a sub-continent prosaic wickets, low bouncing wickets. That is undiluted for his game.”

More than a left-right multiple during a tip of a order, it is a resisting styles which will worry a opposition, feels Strauss.

“We have resisting styles as good as which will have it tough for a bowlers to regulate to us. I’m really vehement batting along side Kevin as good as you consider he can flourish.”

Terming a Jamtha frame as a “good batting wicket”, Strauss pronounced he would not hold a personification XI as good as either Graeme Swann would be enclosed in a personification XI.

“If you feel which a wicket will suggest turn, it will be a clever choice for us. We will take a call after today’s precision session,” pronounced Strauss.
