Pakistan bag a clinical win in the ODI series opener - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – June 08, 2012
On Thursday, June 07, Pakistan secured a clinical win over Sri Lanka in the rain effected One Day International (ODI) at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, to go one up in the five-match series after levelling the two-match T20 series.
The day belonged to the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758’s impressive batting line-up to rubble by limiting them on a meagre tally of 135 as they annihilated the top-order, preventing the top four batsmen from reaching double figures.
Had it not been for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HDRL-Thirimanne-c1542’s 42-run knock, the Lankans might have faltered on a score less than a hundred runs.
From Pakistan, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Gul-c94604 was named as the Player of the Match for taking three wickets, while Sami also bagged three Sri Lankan scalps.
Pakistan’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595 (36) played a vital role in steering their side to victory in 34.1 overs.
Pakistan’s former middle-order batsman, Basit Ali, feels that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) must name batting and bowling coaches, who would assist head coach Dav Whatmore.
Speaking to PakPassion.net, Basit said, “Pakistan must appoint bowling and batting coaches to help http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292 could have been the best choice but since he is busy, Mohammad Akram is the right man for this job.”
Meanwhile he named http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-Hasan-Khan-c77595 as the potential batting coaches.
According to the spokesman of the West Indies cricket team, star batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/S-Chanderpaul-c2390 has had a scan after suffering soreness in his side.
Luckily http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 as the first day was completely washed away by rain.
"Shiv went to hospital for a scan. A day off gives him a chance to see how well he goes."
The star batsman is a key player for the team as they seek redemption in the series finale to avoid a 3-0 defeat.
