Chris Rogers says England to face `fear factor` in Perth Test

Sydney: Australian opening batsman Chris Rogers has said the England will face a fear factor while playing the third Ashes test in Perth beginning Friday.

Rogers said that playing against Shaun Tait and Brett Lee, there are times when the batsman is almost worried about getting hit more than not getting out, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. He said that the moment a batsman is more worried about their personal safety than preserving their wicket, it becomes a "dangerous" situation. He also said that the WACA pitch in Perth is both the best and hardest place to bat in Test cricket with temperatures approaching 40 degrees on a bouncy pitch.
