South Africa A take lead in the tri-nation series - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – July 19, 2012
In the ongoing tri-nation series between South Africa A, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 A and hosts Zimbabwe A, the Proteas under the leadership of F du Plessis, have won all their games so far and are leading the points table.
On Wednesday, July 18, they continued their winning ways against Zimbabwe, beating them by 41 runs, in a sensational match as South Africa defended a small total of 215 runs, after their batting order suffered a terrible demise in front of Zimbabwe bowlers, while batting first.
From http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Morris-c49501 stood tall with four wickets to his name.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 while chasing an easy total, failed to inspire, as they crumbled in 45.4 overs after amassing a total of 174 runs.
India's phenomenal Test batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 from August 23.
Talking to Wisden India about his fitness, Laxman said, “I think the body is actually in good shape. I am surprised at what I have been able to do, especially at training. I have probably not done this kind of training for the last three years, since I started having a back problem.”
He regretted http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, during their last season, and believed that he had put that terrible experience behind him and was looking positively towards the forthcoming season.
Jonny Bairstow, the English batsman who failed to make a place in the Test squad all set to face South Africa, is adamant on regaining a place in the Test team.
"It's obviously disappointing not to be in that squad. But I haven't scored enough runs, so that's fair enough,” said the Englishman.
The batsman wore his Test cap in the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867, to convince the national selectors that he deserves a place in the national team.
