England pacer Plunkett vows to greet Windies with 'chin music'

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.
