Cricket News-in-Brief - November 29, 2011 – Part 3
West Indies’ skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028
who opted to rest for the five-match One Day International (ODI) series.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 will take charge of the team in the absence of Dhoni, but the star opener has been inconsistent with the bat in recent times and might be unable to cope up with the pressure.
According to Sammy, his counterpart was in terrific form and had been scoring runs with consistency for the past few months.
He further went onto say that the Indian skipper is a very good finisher of the game and his absence will provide an opportunity for the Caribbean Kings to claim the limited-over series after being dominated in the longest version of the game.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Cummins must be a part of all three formats of the game for Australia,
according to the player’s agent http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Neil-Donald-Maxwell-c79088. He further went onto say that every young kid wants to be out in the field and perform and it will not be a good idea to limit the youngsters in international cricket.
Maxwell’s comments were a response to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746’s Test and ODI skipper Michael Clarke’s statement that it was not possible for Cummins to play all three formats of the game at the moment.
The 18-year-old made his international debut against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in a recently concluded series and got a taste of all three versions. However, he sustained an injury at the end of the tour and will miss the first Test of the home series against New Zealand.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/John-Geoffrey-Wright-c67883 believes his side can break the shackles
by beating Australia on their home soil in a two-match Test series, scheduled to start at the Brisbane Cricket Ground (BCG) from Thursday, December 1, 2011.
The Kiwi side has managed to overcome the Kangaroos only twice in 26 games played in Australia and that was way back in 1985.
However, Wright has claimed that the Aussie team is vulnerable now, as things have changed a lot in recent times.
England’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Prior-c1984 was concerned about the quality of cricket in the country,
as he believes players are not given enough time to adjust according to different formats of the game.
According to the star wicketkeeper, the matches should be reduced in order to give time to the players to settle down.
