Cricket News In Brief – September 2, 2011- Part 2
It was yet another commanding start for Australians as they set Sri Lanka a daunting target of 379 to chase in their second innings.
The visitors added 95 to their overnight score before being bundled out for 210 on Day 3, with Lankan spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HMRKB-Herath-c1559 grabbing a five-for.
The hosts will need to play out of their skin, as they hunt down their highest chase in Test Cricket History.
Indian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 due to injury, which left him facing a dilemma of a playing five out an out bowlers in the team.
Dhoni said that he cannot go into the first One Dayer against England, with six batsman and five bowlers as that would leave the team handicapped.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 is in their worst slump, as they have lost the Test, while also suffered defeat in the Only T20 international.
Former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nasser-Hussain-c78777 could find himself in hot water after his comments left the BCCI in utter shock.
The current commentator labeled some of the Indian fielders as Donkey, in the Only T20 match played at Old Trafford.

Australian International Umpire, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 formally review the Hawk eye
technology after its accuracy came into question, yet again.
The incident occurred in the first test between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, where Kangaroos opener Phil Hughes was given out on a ball, which on replay turned appreciably.
However, the Hawk-eye deemed it to be hitting the stumps, where Taufel, one of the leading umpires in world Cricket, formally requested the hierarchy, to review the technology.
In a total over-hauling, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jamie-Cox-c66230 has also called quits on his duties as the part time selector of Australian Cricket.
This effectively means that all four members of the Kangaroos selection panel have left after the Argus recommendation, which surfaced last month.
Cox’s tenure lasted five years, which unfortunately was the most unsuccessful era in Australian Cricket history, notably losing back to back Ashes.
