New Zealand declare, set http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 363 – Cricket News Roundup – Part 2 – November 28, 2012
New Zealand have set Sri Lanka a target of 363 after declaring their second innings on 194 for 9, with skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 leading the way with another half-century.
The Lankans began the day on 225 for 6 but managed to add just 19 more runs. The major damage was done by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Samaraweera-c2712 and Suraj Randiv in back to back overs before taking the final wicket of Rangana
Herath. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TG-Southee-c2659 also got a scalp to finish with a five-wicket haul.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 rescued the innings with a 97-run stand for the sixth-wicket. Astle’s wicket sparked a late order collapse before the Kiwis eventually decided to declare.
Australian pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, which starts on Friday at Perth.
Following an injury to fellow seamer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Pattinson-c1653, Siddle was forced to share the bulk of the bowling workload and sent more than 60 overs during the drawn Test at Adelaide. He is now a doubt for the final clash with the selectors already bringing in
reinforcements in the shape of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Josh-Reginald-Hazlewood-c69504.
Siddle, who will not bowl before the start of the Test, said that he can still make it to the playing XI. "I'm feeling good now, I've recovered well ... but if I'm struggling through tomorrow or if I don't feel 100 percent I've got to talk to the captain,
the selectors and work out what's best."
Melbourne Renegades have scooped up South African batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Faf-du-Plessis-c1427, for their Big Bash season’s opener against rivals Melbourne Stars.
Du Plessis, who scored a heroic ton against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804, who is unavailable for the derby clash due to his commitments with the national side.
He becomes the second current Proteas player to a pen a short term deal after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DW-Steyn-c1409 opted to join Brisbane Heat for their opening clash against Sydney Thunder.
"Faf's one of the best fielders in world cricket and an explosive T20 batsman," Renegades coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Simon-Grant-Helmot-c90344 said. "His batting and fielding are what we needed and he can bowl some handy leg-spin as well."
