New Zealand bowler Chris Martin has warned Andrew Strauss and his England team-mates to be on their guard in the upcoming series against the Black Caps - even if the hosts are without Shane Bond.
New Northern Knights signing Strauss told reporters on his arrival in the country last week that a home attack lacking Bond, who is discussing his future with New Zealand Cricket after reportedly agreeing to join the rebel Indian Cricket League, "held few surprises".
Martin, however, is determined to see the England batsman eat his words when the
teams meet in five one-day internationals and three Tests starting next month.
"I don't think we've seen the best of us," he said after the Kiwis' innings defeat of Bangladesh in the second Test, a match in which Martin took seven wickets.
"If we can hunt as a pack and hit them hard early, I think we've got the attack to take their wickets.
"He (Strauss) has said a lot of things in the media over the years which can come across as a little bit arrogant and a little bit cocky, so you just take that sort of stuff with a grain of salt."
