Difficult couple of TESTS

As KP says:nothing to lose,but they MUST try to regain some confidence!

clipped from news.bbc.co.uk Pietersen demands England focus Captain Kevin Pietersen insists England will not hide behind the turmoil of the Mumbai terror attacks when the Test series with India begins on Thursday. The tour was in serious doubt after the attacks in November but England were applauded for deciding to return. "You could say we can't lose in this situation, but that's also a negative way of looking at things and finding excuses - I don't want any," he said. "We need to make sure that our primary focus is to try and win this series." The spirit in the England camp remains good, but before the one-day series was prematurely abandoned they had lost all five matches and were widely expected to have gone on to lose 7-0 for the first time. Their preparations for the Test matches have been unusual, practising first in Abu Dhabi before heading to India, where they have been afforded unprecedented levels of security for a cricket match.
