England playing better cricket going into Melbourne Ashes Test: Bell
By ANIThursday, December 23, 2010
MELBOURNE - England middle-order batsman Ian Bell insists that the Australians have some momentum, but his team is playing better cricket going into the Boxing Day Test of the Ashes series in Melbourne.
Australia had won last week’s third Test in Perth by 267 runs to level the five-match series at 1-1.
“Certainly they have got some momentum going into it (fourth Test). They played some fantastic cricket at the WACA (Ground), but out of the three Test matches I’d say we’ve been playing the better cricket,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Bell, as saying.
“We’re going to have to start the Test match well. We don’t want Australia winning the first hour or that first session.”
“It’d be great for us to be able to come out and win that first session, whether we’re batting or bowling, and try and take (back) a bit of that momentum,” he added. (ANI)
