Sourav Ganguly bats for under fire http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 – Cricket News Roundup – Part I – September 7, 2012
Former Indian skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 Tendulkar to bounce back quickly from his poor form against New Zealand in the two-Test series.
Tendulkar, the Indian batting prodigy, struggled against full-length deliveries during the recently concluded two-Test series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754, scoring 19, 17 and 27 runs in his three innings. But Ganguly, an ex teammate of Tendulkar,
said that writing the veteran off based on just three poor innings is not fair.
“People have started saying that it is time for him to go after the three innings,” Ganguly wrote in his column for Hindustan Times, on Friday. “This is not the right assessment. Sachin should not be judged on the basis of three
innings but over a period of eight to 10 Test matches,” he added further.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 is delighted to see veteran all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh, back in action, after battling a rare germ-cell tumour between his lungs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 was earlier this year diagnosed with a cancerous tumour between his lungs. He received Chemotherapy treatment in Boston, United States in March April this year. Since returning home, in late April, the left-hander has been
raring to go, before being picked up in T20 squad for New Zealand series, and the subsequent World T20 in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
While speaking to media reporters ahead of the first T20 against New Zealand, in Visakhapatnam, on Saturday, Bhajji said that Yuvraj’s return to the field is a real example of comeback.
"There can't be a bigger inspiration in cricket than Yuvi. It is a privilege to be back in the dressing room with him," said Harbhajan, who is all set to play his first international match in a year, given he gets picked in the playing
XI for Saturday’s T20I against the Black Caps.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859’s exclusion from the awards list.
Saeed Ajmal, who picked up 72 wickets in twelve Tests played between August 4, 2011 and August 6, 2012, was one of the leading contenders for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625’s Test player of the year award. But the 32-member independent jury, also featuring former
Pakistan skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aamer-Sohail-c41418, surprised cricketing fraternities in Pakistan and around the world by excluding the wily off-spinner from the shortlist.
Mohsin http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319, a former Pakistan batsman and an ex PCB chief selector called Ajmal’s omission unjust and asked PCB to convey its reservations by boycotting the ceremony, in Colombo, on September 15.
"This ICC process to shortlist players is clearly flawed because cricket is all about performance, not personal likes and dislikes. Better if the PCB boycotts the awards function," said Khan.
