English cricket is in good state despite loss against Pakistan: Waugh

Malaysia Sun (ANI) Friday 3rd February, 2012

Former Australian captain Steve Waugh believes England cricket is still in good shape despite being thrashed by Pakistan in the UAE.

England have already lost the series 2-0 and will play the final Test to prove a point to their critics who have slammed them for their inability to play quality spin bowling.

"English cricket is in a good state, despite what happened in the Middle East against Pakistan," Express.co.uk quoted Waugh, as saying.

He believes England team is capable enough to take 20 wickets and win matches under their able captain Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower.

"They have the ability to take 20 wickets and win Test matches and under captain Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower they have a great work ethic and they play for each other. So I think they're in very good shape."

"Australia have had their struggles in recent times, but they have come back well in the last series with India," he added. (ANI)

On that day, Mladic began his full participation in a criminal endeavour that was already in progress. On that day, he assumed the mantle of realising through military might the criminal goals of ethnically cleansing much of Bosnia. On that day he commenced his direct involvement in serious international crimes.
