http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392 for third Test – Cricket News Roundup – April 20, 2012 – Part 2
Australian skipper, Michael http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197.
Starc has been unused since the start of the team’s trip to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 but could make his first appearance in the third and final Test, starting from April 23, after Siddle and Pattinson were ruled out, owing to back problems.
With Aussies naming no replacements for the injured pacers, Clarke has put faith in the young left-armer to come good for his side. The tourists lead the series by a 1-0 margin.
"I thought (Starc) bowled really well throughout the Australian summer, he's bowling very well in the nets - I've seen that first hand - and I think if he gets an opportunity he'll grab it with both hands."
Former Sri Lankan skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arjuna-Ranatunga-c45447 has taken a jibe at the Indian Premier League for ruining cricket by producing butchers rather than classic cricketers.
“I am talking about classical cricketers," Ranatunga told Gulf News."They (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750) will now produce butchers because of the IPL. Most countries are now being controlled by the Indian Cricket Board because they are the kingpin and have all the money," he said.
The cricketer turned politician has further criticized the International Cricket Council for becoming ‘dependent on Indian money’, and feels that the current scenario will only harm the long term future of the sport as players are now interested in playing in the IPL rather than for their country – citing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540’s example, who does not play Test cricket anymore.
West Indies’ skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746.
Rampaul has missed two months of competitive cricket after suffering from dengue fever and shoulder problems. He returned for the Test series but has yet to play a match. However, Sammy said that the pacer could make his comeback in the final Test, following the injury to Fidel.
"Fidel has a slight pain in his back so we'll monitor that. If not then http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RD-Shah-c2298 comes in and I know Ravi will do the job for us," Sammy said.
