Sri Lanka post 238 - Cricket News Roundup – March 2, 2012 – Part 1
Sri Lanka posted 238 in the crunch game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daniel-Christian-c1308 bagging his first hat-trick.
The tourists got off to a wobbly start where they lost both their inform openers early. However, the innings was reconstructed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779 (64) and Chandimal (75) before the Aussies gained control to restrict the opponents on a below par 238 supremacy
in the final overs.

http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 manager, Mike Sandle, has stated that all-rounder Jesse Ryder’s latest disciplinary fall out will not cost him his central contract, by claiming it was not a code of conduct breach.
Ryder, along with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 after they found consuming alcohol at a nearby pub in Napier, following the side’s defeat in the second one-dayer.
While Bracewell has been included in the Test squad, Ryder was an obvious omission, leading to doubts over his long term association with the Black Caps.
Pakistani all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482, has quashed any suggestions that the Men In Green will be looking out for revenge when they take on India in the upcoming Asia Cup.
The Men In Blue defeated their Asian counterpart in the semi-finals of the last year World Cup before going to lift the trophy by beating http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758.
It will be the first time the two sides will meet since the mega event with Afridi certainly not looking for any sort of retribution. "I don't think we should look at the match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 as a revenge one. We need to treat every match with same importance
and significance," Afridi said.”
Virat Kohli’s elevation to vice-captaincy may cause further unrest in the Indian dressing room according to former Pakistani pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292.
Kohli has been rewarded for his outstanding display in the ongoing Commonwealth series, where his senior teammates, the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, have failed to perform.
"It is a tough job to be India's vice-captain. I feel senior players like Sehwag and Gambhir will not be happy with this,” said Akram.
