Australian Institute of Sport v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 Emerging Players- Emerging Players Tounament - Day 2 Recap
AIS will have to battle hard on final day of the Emerging Players Tournament in order to save the match after they reached to 93 for 2 at stumps on Day 2, still trailing to Indian Emerging Players by 236 runs. The match was played at the Endeavour Park No
2, Townsville, on August 12, 2011.
It was a powerful Indian batting performance with three century makers, as the side posted an enormous total of 534, scoring just a touch under 5 runs per over.
After resuming from 191 for 1, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashok-c46345 Menaria was the first to get to his hundred. However, he fell shortly after that for 112; a well compiled knock which included 15 boundaries and 4 sixes, with Sean Abbot taking his wicket.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sam-Whiteman-c88206, taking a good catch.
The two Tiwary’s then joined hands, and while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Manoj-c1888 fell after a boundary laden 59, Suresh continued the assault, completing a stunning century to inflict greater misery on the Aussie bowlers.
He was involved in all the remaining partnerships, which followed. The player was well supported by firstly, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Manish-Pandey-c74183, with the duo adding 111 for the fifth wicket.
Pandey blossomed, scoring more than run-a ball to guide the total well past the 400-run mark. However, he soon perished to Glen Maxwell for 66.
Though a late order collapsed followed, it was left to Tiwary to lead the team to 500. His stumps were finally shattered by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-c76390 Stark, as the player left the ground with a standing ovation.
His 151, which included 14 boundaries and 7 hefty blows out of the park, came from just 148 balls, which helped the side post 534 on the board, a lead in excess of 300.
It was a sorry reading as far as the hosts bowling card is concerned. Everyone went for plenty, while the pick of bowlers remained Starc, with 3 wickets to his name.
AIS hopes of a solid start crushed as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Keath-c986, trapped LBW by Bhargav Bhatt for 8.
However, a commanding half-century by skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maxwell-c60189, guided the team to the closing stages of the day.
The captain remained unbeaten on 56, with the help of 5 fours and a six, while Maxell, also showed resilience, making 25 not-out.
The Kangaroos have a mountain to climb and will look to their captain for much needed inspiration.
