Hafeez’s century deflates Sri Lanka – Cricket News Roundup – Part 2 – June 30, 2012
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758’s charge of winning their first series in eight attempts by scoring 300 for 1 in the ongoing Day 1 of the second Test, being played at Colombo (SSC).
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397, the Lankan skipper surprisingly opted to bowl first but was left to rue his decision after the Pakistani top order clicked big time to pound his bowling lineup.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Azhar-Ali-c46890 also got back to his old self to register a solid fifty and leave the Lankans shell shocked.
England’s premier pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 at Lord’s.
Anderson was seen struggling through his spells but managed to bowl nine overs where he picked the decisive wickets of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bailey-c1480 to limit the visitors’ pursuit of 272, who then fell 15 runs short of the target.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026, the ODI captain, said that the decision whether to include the 29-year-old for the upcoming Oval clash will rest on final call from the team’s doctors.
"There is a slight worry about his groin, clearly he stayed out there, but he's just off the field now and we're going to have to assess him tomorrow morning and we'll let you know as soon as we know," Cook said.
Australian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Wade-c1933.
In reply to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s 272, Clarke and Wade had rescued the chase and were looking settled before a mix-up between the wickets resulted in the left-hander relinquishing his wicket. That changed the complexion completely in favour of the hosts, who then restricted the tourists to 257.
Earlier, it was http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Eoin-Joseph-Gerard-Morgan-c56032’s late onslaught   which propelled the home team to a competitive total.
That run-out probably played a big part in us not winning the game," http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 said before adding, “…the areas for us to improve are death bowling and not losing wickets at important stages."
