Sammy welcomes Gayle’s return to Test cricket – Cricket News Roundup – July 24, 2012 – Part 2
West Indies skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221 back in the Test fold, claiming that his inclusion will boost the team’s chances of scoring big totals.
The left-hander last featured for the Test side in 2010 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kieran-Omar-Akeem-Powell-c71441 failing to cement a regular spot.
Gayle’s return to the limited-overs version has already yielded success and Sammy is hoping for a similar return when they take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 in the first Test, on July 25th. "Our opening position has been a spot of bother for us, but with the experience [of Gayle] back there hopefully we can see off the new ball and put a good total on the board.”
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LD-Chandimal-c1831 as the long-term candidate for the crucial no.4th spot in the national time.
Jayawardene had been batting in that all-important middle-order position for many years but has relinquished his place, either moving at the top or coming at 5, in recent times in order, allowing other players to adjust into their role before the 2015 World Cup.
"The whole structure going forward for the next World Cup is to make sure that guys like Angelo [Mathews] and Chandimal bat in certain positions,” he said after his team lost the opening ODI against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
Neil Wagner, the South African born Kiwi pacer, could make his debut in the upcoming Test against West Indies after his fellow pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Trent-Boult-c2708 was ruled out.
Boult is battling a quad strain and did not take part in the only practice match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 Cricket Board President’s XI. Wagner however, took three wickets in the game and now remains in line for a maiden appearance.
