Samaraweera’s fifty helps http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 avoid follow-on – Cricket News Roundup – Part 2 – November 27, 2012
A dogged half-century from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 under cloudy conditions at the P Sara Oval.
The home side began day 3 from 43 for 3, trailing the Kiwis by 369 runs. The overnight pairing of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TG-Southee-c2659 struck in quick succession
to remove the set duo before http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HAPW-Jayawardene-c1529.
Samaraweera then stabilized the innings with a patient century, and was ably supported by Suraj Randiv, who reached an unbeaten 28.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RK-Kleinveldt-c2334, the South African pacer, is hopeful of getting a nod for the upcoming Perth Test following his improved showing in the drawn Adelaide Test.
The fast bowler made a disappointing debut at Gabba, where he conceded 97 runs in 21 overs without getting a single wicket. He was expected to sit out the second Test but an injury to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Vernon-Philander-c2753 allowed him another chance and he impressed by claiming
key top order Australian wickets.
With all to play for at WACA, Kleinveldt is hopeful of making into the playing XI. "It's always been a dream of mine because what I've heard from past players is that the pitch is a quick one. It would be nice for me get on there and have a go."

"The injury is more serious than it was thought to be, so the team will have to make do without him for at least another Test," an insider told ESPNcricinfo.
Yadav, who was the most successful pacer in the opening clash, suffered the knock ahead of the second Test, and has been advised rest for 10 days. He was replaced by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashok-Dinda-c1098 in the Indian squad but the Bengali pacer did not feature in the recently concluded
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 bout after the Men in Blue opted to play three spinners.
That move did not pay off as the England side claimed an easy 10-wicket win to level the Test series.
