Quotes

“From our point of view these are two massive Test matches given what happened in West Indies. We want revenge, we want to win back that Wisden Trophy.”
Andrew Strauss comes out fighting at the start of the summer

“They are under a bit of pressure to do well leading up to the Ashes. We are just trying to stick to the basics and if we can put the pressure on them in that first session, whatever we do, then build on it there’s a situation where they might crumble.”
Chris Gayle is hoping to use England’s poor recent record to his advantage
