Cricket News In Brief – January 23, 2012 – Part 1
Australians have recalled veteran spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bailey-c1480 being named a full time captain in place of Cameron White.
White endured an abysmal run in the ongoing KFC Big Bash T20 league, scoring just 55 runs at 7.85. He was axed from the One Day side following a poor World Cup 2011 and now has had to relinquish the leadership to Bailey after being omitted altogether.
Hogg, 40, returned to competitive cricket after 2008 for the Big Bash but impressive showings led to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Robert-John-Inverarity-c85980, naming the veteran in the T20 squad to play the Men In Blue.
The Australian spinner, Brad Hogg has termed his comeback into the T20 circuit as a dream come true while adding that he feels like a 21-year-old.
After being named in the squad, Hogg has further set his sights on retaining his place for the World Cup T20, which will commence from September 2012 in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
"If I was a little bit younger I'd want to play all three forms of the game but Twenty20's given me the opportunity to participate for my country at the highest level again and keep me involved in the game as a player," he said.
Australian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 at Adelaide.
The Kangaroos currently lead the four –match Test series 3-0, but want to maintain the intensity by winning the final game on a relatively batsman friendly pitch. Despite being fully prepared for the clash, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 expects his inform pacers to use subtle variation of swing to their benefit on a ground, which aids both sides, considering the dry nature of the track.
"… That is why I say it's probably as close to Indian conditions as you're going to get in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. So as a batting unit, we have been working on that in the nets, we have faced a bit of reverse swing and a fair bit of spin, so I think our preparation has been spot on," said Clarke.
