Sri Lankan skipper praises Junaid Khan – Cricket News Roundup – Part 2 – July 5, 2012
Sri Lankan skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037 for his impressive showing during the drawn second Test on an unsupportive Colombo (SSC) track.
The young left-armer showed great tenacity and hunger to claim a five-wicket haul, including the scalp of the Lankan skipper. His efforts were all the more pleasing, considering that all other front line bowlers struggled to make an impact.
“..From what we've seen of Junaid, he has definitely got the talent. He is like any other Pakistani bowler - he knows what to do with the older ball and create angles, so he is a handful,” said Jayawardene. The hosts currently lead the series 1-0 with the final match scheduled to be played from July 8 at Pallekele.
Former Indian batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746, asserting that both men were the right choices to lead the Men in Blue at their time.
Dhoni is currently at helm and has already guided the team to World Cup glory, along with helping the team achieve the no.1 ranked Test status. Prior to him, Ganguly was team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s most successful captain and had brought consistency to the side, alongside instilling a winning temperament, the benefits of which, many believe, are being reaped by Dhoni.
"Ganguly had a passion for the job. He had a desire to win. He was willing to do whatever it took to win."Dhoni had probably a more mature team. He is a great leader by example,” said Dhoni.
Retired Sri Lankan legend, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746’s Big Bash League, which is expected to take place in the last month of the year.
The most decorated spinner retired from international cricket last year following his side’s defeat in the final of the World Cup. However, he has continued playing in various T20 leagues around the world and is currently featuring for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gloucestershire-c785 in the English domestic competition.
The player said that it might be his final playing year and wants to make an appearance in the Big Bash. "Yes, I'm going to play there next summer," Muralitharan told the Age this week. "It is going to be maybe the last year of mine so I may as well come and enjoy the Big Bash. I am still bowling well."
