Cricket News In Brief – Part 2 – January 17, 2012 – Live Cricket News and Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 find themselves in deep trouble at 139 for 7.
After early wickets for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898, Amjal then destroyed the Poms’ middle and lower order to grab an impressive five-wicket haul before the tea interval.
The English side was reeling at 94 for 7 before http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 added a crucial unbeaten 45 for the 8th wicket to give some stability to the score line.
Indian opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772, by claiming that only he should decide when to retire from International cricket.
It has been an appalling performance from the Men In Blue in their ongoing four-match Test series, which has seen them surrender a 3-0 lead to hosts http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
Despite the top six not performing for the Men In Blue, it has been Laxman, who has mainly come in for considerable scrutiny from all corners for the lack of runs but Gambhir believes that the team has failed as a unit.
“It's not only, VVS Laxman but all of us [who have underperformed],” said Gambhir. “The top six, the top seven should be criticised equally. We have all failed as a unit. So why only VVS Laxman?He has been a legend of the game.”
Australia are set investigate the injuries to their young fast bowlers, namely Patrick Cummins and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Josh-Reginald-Hazlewood-c69504 by questioning the boots worn by them after they all suffered serious foot injuries.
The trio wore the same boots (Asics cricket) and has been troubled by serious foot pains which has seen their career put on a hold despite making impressive starts.
"There's lots of people wearing Asics that haven't had that problem. It is definitely being reviewed, but the reality is they're all young men and it is also about how much bowling have they done in the lead-up to this period [to getting injured]," said http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Howard-c63371, the Australian team performance manager while talking to ESPN cricinfo.
