Fidel Edwards content with efforts – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 fast bowler, Fidel Edwards was content with his efforts, where he managed to take a quick five-for, while also appreciated his teammates for sticking to a plan, which helped them gain precious advantage over their opponents in the deciding 2nd
Test match.
In a frantic first hour’s play of the Bangladeshi innings, the pacer extracted nip and bounce through his extra pace and troubled the opener’s right from the start. However, the approach opted by the hosts wasn’t one of caution, opting to play their strokes.
While they achieved success from one end, they failed to deal with Edwards who found encouragement from the aggressive intent of the Bangladeshi batsman.
"They got off to a bit of a flyer but we came back well," http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Fidel-Henderson-Edwards-c57010 said.
Indeed the tourists did, courtesy of Fidel’s fiery spell, where he first took the wicket of left-hander, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DM-Bravo-c1386 taking a brilliant one-handed catch at short-leg.
That spurned the pacer, and while the boundaries flowed it did little to distract his rhythm and the pacer made regular inroads, dismissing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mushfiqur-Rahim-c2045, who both failed to open their account.
That forced the hosts on the back-foot, however, it did not stop Fidel to claim Imrul Kayes’ wicket to earn a five-for and have the opponents 5 down for just 59.
The 29-year-old admitted that the approach opted by the opponents was slightly surprising but it also suited his aggressive style and was pleased to be among the wickets.
“The more shots they play the more chances of me taking a wicket,” said the bowler at the end of the second
day. "I wouldn't say the wicket here isn't meant for fast bowling. We stuck to our plans and bowled accordingly. The plan was to be aggressive and take wickets and contain them. The containing part didn't work but the wicket taking part did."
A Shakib Al- http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hasan-c61990 quick-fire half-century helped the hosts to claw back in the game, however, the Windies are still in the ascendency and will look to dismiss the remaining batters to get a precious first innings lead.
