England pacer Plunkett vows to greet Windies with 'chin music' - chairman - 04-05-2015
England fast bowler Liam Plunkett on Sunday said he wants to make life uncomfortable for the opposing batsmen during the tour of West Indies which starts with a warm-up match against St Kitts on Monday.
Caribbean cricket is synonymous with 'chin music', the art of short-pitched fast bowling. Plunkett wants to give the West Indies team a taste of their own medicine in a three-Test series.
"I might come in and try and rough them up a little bit," Plunkett was quoted as saying by England Cricket Board's (ECB) official website.
"That's why I train hard. I feel like that's why I stand out from the rest. That's my job, I feel that's why I'm in the team because I do bowl fast."
Although the Caribbean pitches lack the pace of old Plunkett wants to make life uncomfortable for opposing batsmen.
"I'm not a bowler who runs up and just hits line and length all day, I want to do something, I want to ruffle batters up and if that's what I'm asked to do, I'm more than happy to do that."

Plunkett's velocity has returned. He is consistently bowling between 140-149 kph.
