Former cricketer Ashish Nehra said that India should be careful when facing England`s pacers as they have the ability to do "big damage". "Yes, all three fast bowlers (James Anderson, Jofra Archer & Stuart Broad). You just named two really experienced fast bowlers. One, according to me, the most skilful bowler going around right now - Jofra Archer. These three guys, plus you have Chris Woakes; Olly Stone was looking good, then you have guys like Mark Wood who is back. So, there`s no shortage of pace battery, when it comes to the England team," Nehra said on Star Sports show CRICKET CONNECTED.
"But the main question is, yes, the Pink Ball swings also under lights. What kind of a wicket there will be? If the wicket is useful for fast bowling or the wicket is conducive for fast bowling, then these guys can do big damage, but that only time will tell. The kind of talent they have, if there`s anything in the wicket, they will be really good. Even if there`s not too much help from the wicket, we have seen what James Anderson can do (in the first Test). Stuart Broad can bowl really long spells and trouble the batsman. He didn`t have that good a Test match, the first one which he played, but overall, there`s no shortage of talent, firepower when it comes to fast bowling. So, India should be careful, even on a wicket which might not be useful or helpful for fast bowling," he added.
