http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 clobber a first innings tally of 385 runs against South Africa - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – July 21, 2012
The first Test between England and
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 is heating up with both sides giving some of the finest performances.
England on the second day of play, finished their first innings after bolstering a huge total of 385 runs to give the Proteas a run for their money, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026 jabbed an insurmountable knock of 115 runs, followed by a belligerent performance from MJ
Prior, who crafted a superb knock of 60 runs near the end of the English innings, to help the side amass a respectable total on the board.
South Africa had a terrible start as they lost their first wicket in the third over of their innings when opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Petersen-c1028, crumbled without scoring a run.
However, the South Africans made a daunting comeback with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HM-Amla-c1557, who hit 47 runs, as South Africa ended the day on 86 runs for the loss of one wicket, and now trail by 299 runs.
On Friday, July 20, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 grabbed a staggering win over hosts
Ireland in the second T20I to take the series, winning the game only by a margin of one run.
Coming into the game, Ireland had all the pressure in the world, as it was imperative for them to win the game after having lost the opening match of the three-match series.
After losing their star opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamim-Iqbal-c2640, early in the innings, the rest of the Bangladesh squad steadfast and bulldozed an intimidating tally of 146 runs.
Ireland, were expected to chase down the required target, however, due to Bangladesh’s staggering bowling performance, the flow of runs was reduced, preventing the Irish batsmen from taking the game away from the tourists.
The match had a nail biting end as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 fell only a run short from drawing the match.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Nasir-Hossain-c77146, who knocked an unbeaten innings of 50 runs right at the end of the innings, was named as the Player of the Match.
Former England skipper, wicketkeeper/batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 and believes the pacer
will serve the country for a long time to come.
"He's still a young lad and he's a strong lad too. If he stays fit and healthy and keeps the desire he has now then...who's to say he won't get 150 Test caps,” he said.
