Cricket News-in-Brief - December 30, 2011 – Part 3
Former Indian skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978
for backing veteran players http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942 despite the duo being inconsistent over the past few months.
According to Ganguly, it is always important for a captain to back the senior members in the side. He further added that most players do not like the presence of former skippers in the team, but Clarke has no issues with Ponting and has continued to support
him over the past eight months.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120’s support for the senior members helped Australia win the first Test of the four match series against India. The hosts were in deep trouble at one stage of the game, but Ponting and Hussey guided them out of trouble with a brilliant century stand.
This allowed the Kangaroos to post a target of nearly 300, which proved to be too much for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 and his men.
Former Pakistan wicketkeeper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746
in the ongoing four match Test series, as some of their batsmen are not good enough to cope up with the bouncy conditions.
Latif said that senior players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 have a lot of experience and could end up scoring some runs, but none of them will be able to dominate the young Aussie attack.
The former Pakistan keeper had correctly predicted that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Pattinson-c1653 would trouble the Indian batsmen. The youngster performed extremely well and won the man of the match award in the end.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Alexander-Sutherland-c65430, Cricket Australia’s chief, believes that a few ‘awful decisions’ might convince India to vote for the Decision Review System (DRS).
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is not in favour of using technology in cricket, which has led to a lot of controversies.
However, Sutherland said that the BCCI might not be favouring DRS because some of the Indian batsmen lack confidence in technology.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, wants his players to focus only on cricket
during the upcoming series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
Last time both teams clashed saw the spot-foxing scandal jolt Pakistan cricket, but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-c77587 wants his team to get off to a new beginning and forget past incidents.
