Michael Clarke all hail for his team's winning performance – Cricket News Update
The Australian team on Monday left their skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978, in awe by winning the three-match One Day International (ODI) series against Pakistan at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Clarke’s men won the series decider by three wickets after Pakistan almost got away by clobbering an opening stand of 129.
Praising his side’s impressive show, the skipper said, “Can't have been prouder of the guys. Maxwell is a wonderful talent, today is a great example of a team performance. The bowlers got us back after they were 100 for none.”
“To be able to chase those runs against that attack is special. Starc has had a good series, he has hit the wicket hard, bowled with good pace. I don't want to take anything away from the other bowlers," he added.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 was wreaking havoc everywhere.
Ironically, it was Ajmal who dismissed the Aussie skipper, adding pressure on the Australians while they were chasing a target of 245 runs.
However, the arrival of Player of the Match, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s decision not to go for review certainly cost them, as Hussey who was without a run at the time of this lbw call, went on to bolster a match-winning knock of 65 runs off 72 deliveries.
Hussey while speaking in the post-match ceremony said, “It is a very satisfying victory. It is up there among the toughest places to play cricket. No point complaining. It is the same for both teams.”
The left-handed batsman was supported by GJ Maxwell, who stood unbeaten on 56, hammering the winning shot.
The batsman had a great tournament, as when other batsmen were having trouble playing against Ajmal, he exhibited tremendous touch, hammering the ace spinner remorselessly.
Both sides will now play against each other in the three-match T20I series, scheduled to begin from Wednesday.
