Cricket News in Brief – December 01, 2011 – Part 1
New Zealand captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 is aware of the bowling threat by the Australians and wants his team not to consider the depleted Aussie pace attack stingless as the Australians have youngsters who can be extremely lethal on home wickets.
Talking about New Zealand’s clash with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in the first Test at Brisbane, Taylor said, “Experience-wise it is one of the weakest (Australian attacks), but they know the conditions better than we do.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392 and Ben Cummins the young Australian guns who New Zealand will have to watch out for if they want to give the Aussies a tough time in the Test series.
Speaking on Australia’s chances of playing four fast bowlers, Taylor said, “That is an option for them, to play four quicks, but I'm not sure how many overs http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 wants to bowl out there if he doesn't play a spinner.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 are in Australia to play a two Test series and for the first time in nearly a decade the Kiwis have a realistic chance of winning the series as this Australian team is the weakest outfit that the world has seen after almost 15 years.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 scheduled to be played on Thursday, December 01, 2011 at Dhaka.
Tamim who was ruled out of the one-off T20 match between the two sides because of a knee injury has responded well to the treatment that he has received and according to the head coach, the opener would most likely make the playing eleven.
Meanwhile, Law hoped that his team would show a better performance in the 50-over game and give Pakistan a tough time.
“We are not here to lose and not here to go into the series thinking that we can't compete. We are into the series putting our plans together and if we can http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adrian-Roger-Kirshaw-Pierson-c42135 to the plans and play good cricket, anything is possible.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Prior-c1984 has expressed his concern on the future of Test cricket but has admitted that the longest format of the game is still craved by most cricketers.
Prior was glad that England had a big fan following in Test cricket as people in England want to see their team perform at the highest level in this format of the game.
England are the current number one team in Test cricket, a spot they secured after they dethroned http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 this year in a four-Test series where the Poms won all the matches.
