We will continue to be aggressive: Tremlett

NOTTINGHAM, July 25: England's tall and strapping pace bowler Chris Tremlett vowed their will be no letdown in their aggressive intent towards Indian batsmen in the Test series as they are susceptible to the swinging ball.
"The Indian guys might have a bit of a reputation for not liking the ball swinging and nipping around as much as other teams," said Tremlett who got a surprise recall in the Lord's Test.
"As a group in this Test (Lord's) we were very aggressive and worked together as a team. We did get in their faces. We didn't make them feel comfortable. We built the pressure on their batsmen by being aggressive and very patient with the bowling."
Tremlett was also inspired by some useful tips from Allan Donald that helped him a lot. "We did have a chat before the Test and he said express yourself, be aggressive, get in their faces but also don't do things you don't normally do.
"For me to go out there and start taunting batsman is not something I would normally do and it would come across as being unnatural. But I made sure I got that aggressive intent."
To a question on whether the big four in the Indian batting line up Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly - were on a decline, he stressed it would be naive to judge them so early.
"They are obviously great players. They didn't score many in this match. It would be stupid to say they are losing their touch," Tremlett said.
"I played in the Lions game and Sachin made a 100 and he looked class. He didn't get many in this game. He still looks a very good player.
"Dravid is a great player. I got him out in the second innings here which was great for me. I don't think they are losing it. Conditions were quite hard for batting and the ball swung around. You can't say it is down to them losing their touch. We will see how it goes in the series."
He also reckoned that playing for Hampshire with Shane Warne has helped him learn a lot from the legendary leg spinner. "I have been working with ‘Warney' for the last three years and I've learnt a lot from him. He said take a look at yourself and where you want to go from here."
