Cricket News In Brief – January 3, 2012 – Part 2
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379 struck early for the Men In Blues.
The Aussie pace attack was again in the thick of action as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204 grabbing three each.
The hosts were also started poorly as Zaheer picked by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 (47) and Ponting ( 44) guided the team safely at the end of the first days play.
Sources close to the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Davenell-Frederick-Whatmore-c52571 is ready to finalise his terms as the new head coach of the Men In Green.
Whatmore, who is in Canberra, was issued a visa and will come to Pakistan to agree terms with the PCB. A source however, said that the former Bangladeshi coach will first travel to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and end his contractual agreements with the Kolkata Knight Riders – the Indian Premier League franchise.
"In principle he is the sole candidate for the position of head coach of the national team and since he has resigned as KKR coach he could well be joining the Pakistan team for the Asia Cup tournament in March in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747," the source said.
The head coach position was vacant since the departure of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 and Bangladesh.
The redevelopment plans for the Sydney Cricket Ground were announced following the 100th Test between Australia and India, which sees the stadium reconstructed for an amount estimated to be $186 million.
The SCG trust chairman, Rodney Cavalier hopes that the ground will be completeed in time to host the 2014 Ashes Test between Australia and India.
"The new stands are another moment in the ground's evolution," Cavalier said. "The design instructions made it expressly clear that, when the work is completed, the stands will look like they have always belonged inside one of the world's greatest cricket grounds. Just as the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Victor-Thomas-Trumper-c95153 Stand fits in so beautifully.
