English Women take the T20I series against India - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – June 29, 2012
On Thursday, the English women team, hosting the T20 series, took the tournament by winning the second and final match against India by eight wickets, at County Ground, Chelmsford.
India, who won the toss, chose to bat first, but failed to rally a huge tally on the board, as their batswomen were annihilated by the English girls on a meagre tally of 114 runs in 20 overs.
26-year-old, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Katherine-Helen-Brunt-c70447, was the best bowler from her side as she nabbed three wickets in four overs.
The hosts then gave a staggering performance while chasing the target, as they won the match in 17.1 overs for the loss of only two wickets, with skipper SJ http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 as the best scoring batswoman with an unbeaten knock of 67 runs to her name. She was later named as the Player of the Series and the Match.
International Cricket Council's new chief executive, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-John-Richardson-c52977, has made it clear that India would not be forced to accept the universal implementation of the controversial Decision Review System (DRS).
On his first job as the chief executive, he said, “The point is that the BCCI need to make that decision for themselves. It's never good to take anyone kicking and screaming to do anything.”
"I don't think [the Executive Board's decision is] negative at all. We'll be seeing DRS used in the majority of series going forward and there would be no sense in forcing anything upon anybody," he added.
The ICC's Executive Board has decided not to take the issue of enforcing DRS to vote, which would prevent http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 from being forced into submission on the matter, as BCCI is the only board opposing the induction of the new technology.
Former International Cricket Council (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Haroon-Lorgat-c61719, has admitted that the match-fixing fiasco was the lowest during his time in office.
“It's a lowlight, but in the manner we responded we demonstrated we will not tolerate any form of corruption and that we're going to pursue it to a logical conclusion," said Lorgat while talking to AFP.
