Vaughan unfazed by spin threat

England captain Michael Vaughan says the prospect of facing two spinners during the Pakistan series doesn't faze his team.

Mushtaq Ahmed and Danish Kaneria may both be picked to test England's perceived weakness against spin. "I'm sure they will put us under a lot of pressure, but it's good to know we've faced them before," said Vaughan. "We have a good idea of what they're going to come up with, we've got a lot of footage and a lot of players have played against them."

Mushtaq, 35, hasn't played a Test for two years but has 185 wickets from 52 Tests and has played for Sussex for the last three seasons. Kaneria, 24, is now Pakistan's frontline spinner and has spent two successful seasons at Essex. Vaughan believes their county experience will count in England's favour: "It's not going to be the mystery factor that you sometimes get when you face someone like Muralitharan because we've faced them so much in county cricket."

England have been left in the dark about Pakistan's line of attack for the Test series, which starts on November 12 at Multan. Pakistan are likely to prepare either spinning wickets to suit Mushtaq and Kaneria, or bouncier strips and choose an extra paceman.
