“England have among the finest tempo assaults on this planet. They have 5 quick bowlers and three spinners on this tour. The problem might be to play their quick bowlers on this sequence. They have developed nice depth in English cricket. They are the envy of each Test-playing nation. I hope that by the top of my tenure, we will go away one thing behind.”
