Cricket News in Brief – December 28, 2011 – Part 1
Former Indian opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
"It (DRS) should be introduced if it's correct. We were in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in the summer and it wasn't foolproof," said Ganguly.
The left-hand batsman insisted that the system was flawed and the International Cricket Council (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) should first eradicate the problems in the technology and then enforce it in the game.
Ganguly's remarks came just a day after the Australian media bashed the Indian coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duncan-Andrew-Gwynne-Fletcher-c54742 for supporting India's decision as he had always been a staunch supporter of the new technology.
Australia lost the wickets of Mike Hussey (0) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Graham-Downton-c44379 Cowan (68) to controversial decisions which sparked a new debate on the scrapping of the DRS on the behest of India.
Ed Cowan, Australia’s top batsman is expected to regain fitness by the third day of the ongoing first Test match against India in Melbourne, Australia.
The batsman, who hammered 68 runs in the first innings, spent the second day away from the field to receive treatment on his sore back.
According to Australia’s vice-captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170, Cowan will be fit on the third day as the young batsman looked enthusiastic in his warm-ups.
“Ed got a bit excited in the warm-up in his first Test, he was diving around too much. He twinged his back. Alex worked on him through the day and he came back all right," opined Haddin.
Speaking on the plans for the third day’s play, he said, “"I think it's important tomorrow we shut that scoreboard down a bit. If we can do that we'll create chances and give ourselves the best opportunity to get into that middle order.”
