PFA’S £2M LOAN SAVES BOLTON

Bring on sledging, says new boy

By PAUL NEWMAN

Cricket Correspondent

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW:

«PAGES 78-79

Jason Roy has told australia

he does not fear them ahead

of his ashes debut, urging the

tourists to bring it on if they want
to engage in verbal warfare.
England’s World Cup-winning opener
laughed off australia’s first attempt
at sledging him yesterday, after fast
bowler Josh Hazlewood claimed
Roy would find the transition tough
from white-ball destroyer to red-ball
technician in Thursday’s first Test.
‘He’s absolutely right,’ said Roy of
Hazlewood in an exclusive interview with
Sportsmail. ‘It’s a different game and
it’s going to be hard. He’s stating the

obvious. But they’re going to be

under more pressure than me.

‘australia’s attack have

played Tests. They’re under

pressure to get me out. I’m

going in with open eyes and

‘They’re a high-class attack.

They know I’ve played one Test,

so they will have the upper hand.

But I’m not scared and I’m not

doubting myself.’

THE future of Bolton

Wanderers is close to being

secured — thanks to a

£2million loan from the

Professional Footballers’

Association.

Sportsmail understands the

players’ trade union, whose

chief Gordon Taylor used to

play for Bolton, is set to step

in to prevent the historic

outfit from going to the wall

as a protracted takeover

drags on. The English

Football League gave

Bolton, who have been in

administration since May,

until 5pm yesterday to show

they could meet ‘all

outstanding commitments’.

Had they not, Saturday’s

opening League One game

at Wycombe Wanderers was

due to be called off amid

In the firing line:

Root will go in at

the fall of the first

wicket to bolster

a shaky top order
