The future looks good for us – Chanderpaul – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747.
Although Chanderpaul and Bangladeshi opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamim-Iqbal-c2640, were under the spotlight due to their contrasting knocks, the veteran left-hander also had time to reflect on the respective innings of Powell and Ramdin, both of whom shared long and useful partnerships with him to help his side post a dominating first innings score of 527.
The Windies’ innings began with the usual Gayle flair but following his dismissal, normality was restored by Powell and Chanderpaul after the team had further lost http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804. Both men stood in a handy 125-run stand, showing intent in occupying the crease.
While Chanderpaul has made a career out of determination, it was Powell’s focus that stood out after he had watched senior hands in Gayle and Samuels throwing their wickets away. His timing was the hall mark of his innings and he further displayed his hunger when the field was spread. Eventually he was bowled for 117 but his knock had given a perfect platform for Ramdin, who then carried forward the task on the next morning.
"He( Powell) played a fantastic innings yesterday. Unfortunately he got out the way he did. I had a chat with him about the way he did. I thought he should have played the first ball after tea a lot straighter.
"I didn't see anybody getting him out, he's the one who's giving his wicket away. I have talked to him about already. The future looks good for us."
The veteran batsman also backed Tamim’s aggressive style of play. The left-hander smashed 10 fours and 2 sixes in his 72-run knock and just when he was set to amass a big score, he threw his wicket away by offering a reckless stroke off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382.
"That's his style," Chanderpaul said. "We can't be surprised [at] how Christopher Gayle bats also. He bats one way, we can't tell him how to bat. If Tamim has his style, he has to play his game."
