Ruhuna Royals secure their first win in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Premier League - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – August 15, 2012
Ruhuna Royals on Tuesday registered their first win in the ongoing Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL) after beating rivals, Uthura Rudras, by 35 runs in a match that was played at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
The Royals after being put into bat got off to a flier, as openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Charles-Lennox-James-c44309 Finch and RJMGM Rupasinghe staggered a stand of 97 runs to leave the fielding side battered.
The side could however, face only 16 overs before rain came pouring down, forcing the innings to end prematurely.
By this time, the batting side had managed to amass a total of 145 on the board for the loss of three wickets with Finch, as the highest scoring batsman with a knock of 65 runs to his name.
Uthura Rudras had a terrible run chase as the batsmen kept losing wickets cheaply without putting much of a fight.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540 from the Royals was devastating, as he annihilated the opposition by exhibiting an outstanding bowling performance.
The bowler took four wickets and was crowned the Player of the Match, as Ruhuna Royals bowled-out Uthura Rudras on a total of 118 runs in 15.5 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465 has washed his hands off the Kevin Pietersen fake twitter account fiasco, claiming that he had nothing to do with the spoof.
Explaining his position on the matter, the lanky pacer said, “I would like to confirm that I had no involvement in this whatsoever. I did not play any role in the creation of this account or provide Mr Bailey with any information regarding http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 or the England team.”
Stuart’s friend, Richard Bailey, admitted that he was in fact the owner of the fake account, triggering rumours that Broad may have helped Bailey by providing information regarding Kevin Pietersen.
Shooting down these suggestions, Broad explained, “As has been widely reported Mr Bailey is a friend of mine, but we had no conversations regarding this issue at all and I am pleased that he has now decided to close the fake account down."
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has decided not take any action against the pacer as the board officials believe rules and regulations were not violated by Broad.
