The England cricket team
England cricket team is one of the strongest cricket teams around the world. Passionate about the sports, each player of the England cricket team sets an example of its own. England is, and always has been the home of cricket. It was the nation that introduced the sport to the world and even now continues with its innovations. This can be substantiated by the fact that all forms of cricket- Test, One Day Internationals and Twenty-Twenty- originated in England. The England Cricket Team has been one of the better teams in world cricket for the majority of the cricket they have played. History
England played the first ever Test in history in 1887 against Australia. Australia and England were at
the time the two leading cricket playing nations in the world and England played the bulk of their
cricket with them. England were a strong opponent to beat always and maintained their stronghold over
cricket for many years. However in the recent past, the England Cricket Team showed signs of decline and
their performances were less than satisfactory. This was in the1990s when they failed to register wins
against the West Indies and lost the Ashes series to Australia consecutively from
1989 to 2003. However the team has now begun to perform well again and the bad phase seems to be over.Players
England have always boasted of having the best players in the world right from Andrew Strauss toIan Bell
to Jonathan Trott. In the current teams, there are a few cricketers who are not only world class,
but have also been consistent match winners for England. Led by captain Andrew Strauss ,a wonderful
batsman himself, to the Ashes hero Kevin Pietersen and bowling sensation Steve Harmison, the team is
filled with a talented bunch of players. Under the watchful eyes of coach Duncan
Fletcher, the players would surely hope to better their performances in the quest for World Cup 2011.Performance
England dominated world cricket for many years and it was in 1882 that England lost its first Test to
Australia. In the days after that, the Australia and England remained arch rivals and were severe
competition to each other on the cricket field. The early 1900s saw England so particularly well,
and the majority of the credit for this went to WG Grace. The Bodyline Series of 1932 was a shameful
incident that cast a black spot on England's cricketing history. England won it the use of unsporting
tactics that shocked everyone. In 2007 world cup they reached Super Eights but beaten by the four semi-finalists. Chances in the 2011 World Cup
A 6-1 series thrashing in Australia was hardly ideal preparation but the side was ravaged by injuries. Need to bounce back quickly . The ability of batsman to adapt to the slower pitches on the sub-continent will determine whether England ,who won the World T20 last year,can defy the sceptics again.
