LONDON: Simon Kerrigan has insisted England will have a better bowler on their hands than the one who suffered a nightmare debut against Australia last year should he be selected for Thursday’s second Test with India at Lord’s.
Kerrigan, 25, made his Test debut during the drawn final Test of England’s 3-0 home Ashes series win at The Oval last year.
However, his eight wicketless overs in Australia’s first innings cost an expensive 53 runs and England captain Alastair Cook did not risk him in the second innings.
“Over the winter I learned more about my action and about the mental side of the game,” he told reporters at Liverpool on Sunday.
“I learned from last year’s Test that the sun will come up the day after that and that it’s not the end of the world. What happened is in your thoughts a little bit, but I know my job is to bowl spin and I bowl it every day so it’s no different.” REUTERS
