Cricket News In Brief – September 30, 2011 - Part 3
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar’s hundredth century
during his recent http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 on Thursday.
The former Indian Skipper and the nation’s all-round legend came out loud and stated that more emphasis is being laid on Tendulkar’s awaited century, rather than focusing on team’s performance as a whole.
"You seem more keen about Sachin's 99 hundreds and not about how we are going to win the next series," said Kapil Dev who played 131 Test and 225 ODIs for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shoaib-Malik-c90088 and Sania Mirza recently called on President Asif Ali Zardari
to discuss their efforts to raise funds for the recent unfortunate flood-hit calamity that claimed the lives of many in the Pakistani Province of Sindh and has left many displaced.
The couple said that they raise funds for the mishap, both within http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 and overseas and will play matches for the cause.
As for the Premier, Zardari thanked both the sports personalities for their efforts and commended their role they have delivered under their respective sports.
Indian top order batsman eyes for a Test spot after exhibiting an exceptional batting performance in the recently concluded One Day International (ODI) series.
The batsman recently said that having found a fortunate spot on the Indian ODI squad for the next month’s home series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, and then his upcoming participation for the Irani Cup, will both serve to his advantage that will be used as stepping stone
for the batter into a Test career.
“I have played in 28 ODIs and have done well so far. I scored quite a few runs in the ODIs with a couple of half centuries which gave me confidence. But I am yet to cement my place in the Test side,” he said.
Indian bowling stars, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 are likely to be axed from the Indian squad
which is scheduled to face the English visitors in the upcoming home series, scheduled to kick off on October 14, 2011.
Both the bowlers are still being considered for their participation since Nehra and Singh are presumably still recovering from their injuries.
