http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 – Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – March 8, 2013
An inspiring performance from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779 helped Sri Lanka dominate the opening day of the first Test against Bangladesh, posting 361 for 3 at stumps at the Galle International Stadium.
Having opted to bat first, the hosts started aggressively courtesy http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TM-Dilshan-c2691, who scored a quick-fire half-century. His wicket however, did not affect the run-flow as Sangakkara, playing his first match since getting injured in December, led the
way with a commanding 142.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AD-Mathews-c913 took over from the veteran left-handed batsman and added an unbeaten stand before play was halted due to rain. The Bangladeshi bowlers remained uninspiring for large parts of the day, despite Sohag Gazi’s efforts,
who claimed all three wickets.

The day belonged to debutant http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hamish-Duncan-Rutherford-c61359, who after resuming from the overnight score of 77 posted a sublime 171, which included 22 fours and three sixes. With solid contributions from the other batters, the Kiwis stretched their lead to over 200
before rain forced early stumps. The Kiwis had earlier bowled out their opponents on a lowly 167, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bruce-Edward-Martin-c48703 sharing 8 scalps.
Former Pakistani Coach and fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792, for the upcoming sixth edition of the lucrative competition.
Waqar stepped down from the national team’s coaching duties in September 2011, after which he coached Ruhuna Royals in the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League. He was further in the reckoning of becoming Australia’s bowling coach but narrowly missed out.
He will be the second cricketer from his country to perform the same role after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292 was recruited by defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders in 2010.
"I am going to go the way I go about things. It will be a good experience for me also to interact with a lot of fast bowlers. "I am really excited to work with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566. He can be a better bowler than he is," Waqar told ESPNcricinfo.
