England seeks revenge
NZPA-Reuter Manchester The West Indies will face a fresh and more positive bid by England to upset the odds in the third cricket : test, which will begin at Old Trafford today. The tourists are still i favourites to win the five- < match series, which they ■ lead 1-0 after winning the I first test, but their superior- 1 ity will be challenged by I England’s switch to bolder ■ tactics. | The key to the outcome of ( the series remains, essential- i ly, in the battle between * England’s batsmen and the j West Indian fast bowlers. England has discarded I Chris Tavare and Bob . Woolmer in favour of the < more aggressive Brian Rose ] and Wayne Larkins. j
While England searches for a winning blend, the West Indies are in the happy position of knowing they can field virtually an unchanged team. The only place in doubt, assuming the West Indies omit off-spinner Derek Parry as in the previous two tests, is that of the fourth fast bowler to support Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, and Joel Garner. The teams are:— England (from). —lan Botham (captain), Geoff Boycott, Graham Dilley, John Emburey, Mike Gatting, Graham Gooch, Alan Knott, Wayne Larkins. Chris Old, Brian Rose, Peter Willey, Bob Willis. West Indies (from). —Clive Lloyd (captain). Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes, Viv Richards. Faud Bacchus, Alvin Kallicharran, Deryck Murray, Andy Roberts, Joel Garner, Michael Holding, Colin Croft, Derek Parry, Malcolm Marshall.
