Trott vs Wahab

After the throat grabbing incident on Monday 20^th September at Lords which delayed the toss for the 4^th one day international this was one exciting head to head we all looked forward to, but Wahab has been excluded for non cricketing terms is has been understood and it is expected he will continued to be ignored for the forthcoming series, but in case he does make the squad this will be one to keep a close eye on.

Latest: Wahab was today named in the 16 man squad for the test series next month


Cook vs Junaid

Junaid tends to land his deliveries in the corridor of uncertainty as he probes away trying to get the Essex man pushing forward. The disgraced teenage sensation troubled him in the summer of 2010 with this line of attack and while that disgraced teenage sensation may be in prison now serving his 6 month sentence, this may not be the end of the miseries for Cook 
because the hosts as ever produce talented fast bowlers who fall like leaves and Junaid is no exception. Cook may be relieved with Amir’s absence; however that’s not to say he will not get through uneasy as Junaid has the potential and firepower to knock him over early in the piece with his whippy action, whole heartedness and splendid control of his line and direction. Surely Cook will be challenged.

Swann vs Taufeeq

This is more of a mini battle. Taufeeq is vulnerable against the slower bowlers. Swann will be licking his lips and will be all over him like a hot knife through butter unless Taufeeq finds a away of hanging in there, getting to the non strikers end and getting the bat down in front of the front pad. Swann is bound to have Taufeeq’s number.
