Australia v India: Ed Cowan escapes injury scare – Cricket News Update
Australian opening batsman, Ed Cowan, has avoided an injury scare and will take field when Australia bowls on day 3 of the Melbourne Test. Dominated by the Indians on day 2, this news was a relief for the Aussies since Cowan is an important player for the
team.
Cowan complained of backache after diving in the field and was treated by team physio http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Kountouris-c43123. The therapy worked and he has been declared fit for now.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Graham-Downton-c44379 got a bit excited in the warm-up in his first Test, he was diving around too much. He twinged his back. Alex worked on him through the day and he came back all
right.”
Cowan, who is playing his first Test match for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, has had a good start to his career. The 29-year-old was the top scorer for the Aussies in the first inning with a blistering knock of 68 runs and he hopes to do the same again.
However, for all that to happen, Australians must dismiss India first. The tourists gained the upper hand in the ongoing Test match, courtesy of veteran batsmen, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556.
The duo strengthened http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s position in the match by galloping 117 runs for the third wicket. The partnership between Tendulkar and Dravid propelled the Men in Blue to 214 for the loss of three wickets. The visitors still trail by 119 runs with seven wickets
in hand and Dravid is still at the pitch with 68 runs to his name.
The cricketer known as “The Indian Wall”, has umpire http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197, Aussie pacer, clean bowled Dravid in 59th over, who at that point was on 65. But before the batsman could walk his way back to dressing
room, umpire went upstairs to check whether it was a legitimate delivery or not. Much to the delight of Dravid, it turned out to be a no ball, thus giving the batsman another life.
Siddle didn’t lose heart and kept on bowling with same enthusiasm. The speedster was eventually rewarded with the wicket of Tendulkar (73) before the close of play.
