Respect Overhead Conditions, Wind Factor, Pitch Conditions For Success In England, Says Tendulkar
New Delhi: To succeed in Test cricket, a strong showing in England has always been vital for young cricketers. More than their opponents, the young cricketers face a tougher challenge from the unpredictable weather and diverse pitches. All of this means that each session of Test cricket in England is full of intrigue.
In his distinguished 24-year international career, legendary India batter Sachin Tendulkar enjoyed considerable success in England – amassing 1575 runs in 17 Tests in England at an average of 54.31. His highest score against England came through 193 at Headingley in 2002, the home of Yorkshire, the county he represented as their first overseas player in 1992.
With India all set to being their quest for winning the newly established Tendulkar-Gavaskar Trophy at Headingley on Friday, Tendulkar recalled the rich experiences playing Test cricket in England and cited three critical factors - respecting overhead conditions, wind factor, and pitch conditions – for achieving success as batters.
