Former captain Stewart warns Windies about 'best' England bowling attack

London, May 13(ANI): Former captain Alec Stewart believes England has one of the best bowling attacks in the world, and the touring West Indies team should be wary of it.

Current-captain Andrew Strauss and his World No1 side take on the Caribbean tourists on Thursday at Lord's in the first of what looks unevenly matched three Test match series.

James Anderson, Stuart Broad and either Steven Finn or Tim Bresnan smell blood on home soil, and Stewart fears that there are tough times ahead for the Windies.

Steward believes that the Windies batting apart from veteran Shivnarine Chanderpaul doesn't seem potent enough to deal with England's pace attack, which would get huge assistance from playing in home conditions.

"We have got the best bowling attack in the world and the third best - I truly believe that. At Lord's we'll see Anderson, Broad and Graeme Swann plus one of Bresnan or Finn - that's the best," The Sun quoted Stewart, as saying.

"In reserve, Bresnan or Finn plus Chris Tremlett, Graham Onions and Monty Panesar - only South Africa have better bowlers than those four. So we are spoilt for choice - it's as good as it's been for as long as I can remember," he added.

"And, I worry for the West Indies. Their batting - bar Chanderpaul - is light," he said. (ANI)
