Former captains warn England of Sachin threat

Former England captains Michael Vaughan, Nasser Hussain, Mike Atherton and Graham Gooch have warned that even at the twilight of his international career, Sachin Tendulkar would be the biggest threat to England when they take on India in a Test series starting here on July 21.

   “Sachin’s a different player now from 2007; the best players in the world change little things about themselves to keep themselves in the game. In the last two years he’s become more aggressive, he’s gone back to his old way of trying to score when for a period he tried to survive,” Vaughan told the Cricketer magazine.

“Chris Tremlett bowled well against him in 2007 and he’s a miles better bowler now. But Sachin doesn’t have any weaknesses although every batsman is vulnerable on and around the off stump early on. England might go aggressive at him, test him with a few short balls — I’ve seen people do that over the last two years and it hasn’t affected him,” he added.
