South Africa and New Zealand go into a tense final day after batsmen from both camps dominated day 4 of the first Test – as the hosts require 264 more runs to win, with 8 wickets in hand.
The tourists resumed at 268 for 3 before going on to declare at 435 for 5, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JH-Kallis-c1692), to score a century.
Being set 401, the Kiwi started on a disappointing note after they lost openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LRPL-Taylor-c1849 then reconstructed the innings to end the day’s proceedings on 137 for
2.
England pacer, Chris Tremlett, has reinstated his desire to play for the national team, once he has fully recovered from a troubling back injury.
The lanky seamer has been dogged by a serious back complaint for the past 8 months, which has limited his involvement with the Poms to only two Test matches.
With him now behind the pecking order, Tremlett is hopeful of getting a reckoning once he is fully fit – adding that it has been a frustrating time for him on the sidelines. "I've played well for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 in the last couple of years but it's obviously a setback
when you have an injury and you're out for a long period of time," he told Sky Sports.
Indian legend, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 will leave a big void in the current national team but feels it was necessary for the team to move forward, following some high-profile disappointments from the past six
months.
"We always think, not only in cricket but in different walks of life, it will be difficult to replace somebody. While obviously the style will be very different, there will be younger players coming," Gavaskar said.
Dravid’s retirement plans come shortly after a substandard tour Down Under, where the Men In Blue were whitewashed 4-0 in the Test series by host http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. Despite Gavaskar lamenting the loss of a legend, he was convinced that the time was right for the
youngsters to get a permanent opportunity.
