Michael Clarke expresses confidence in Ricky Ponting - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – November 27, 2012
Australian skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
"We could all get out early in our innings. Every single one of us, the start of your innings is the toughest time to bat, especially when you're facing the best attack in the world. Once he gets in, I have no doubt at all he'll go on to make a big score. He knows how to make big hundreds, he's still as good a player under pressure,” http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 said of Ponting.
England’s Test captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 after their side’s emphatic 10-wicket victory against India have urged the team to avoid complacency.
After India hammered a first innings score of 327 in their first innings at Wankhede Stadium, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820, it was Cook and KP who smashed brilliant knocks of 122 and 186 that actually helped England forge 413 by the end of their innings.
Spinners MS Panesar and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 then tarnished India’s reputation of better players of spin by grabbing six and four wickets to reduce the hosts to 142.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 then needed 57 runs to win, which they reached without the loss of any wicket as Cook hammered 18 and NRD Compton belted 30 runs.
KP Pietersen was named as the Player of the match for his fine batting performance.
India’s former great, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607, who is worshipped as a cricketing God in India has been struggling with form and critics believe perhaps the time has come for him to hang his gloves.
“Tendulkar has been playing for so long and he has been so consistent. This little period of lack of runs or lack of half centuries will give the critics chance to ask questions, At the end of the day, it is the selectors who will take the call. I think the selectors will probably have a word with Tendulkar about what his future plans are and then take a call,” said Gavaskar.
