Uncapped http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anamul-Haque-c44160 called as back up for injured Tamim – Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – November 20, 2012
Anamul Haque, the uncapped Bangladeshi batsman, has been named in the squad for the upcoming second Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamim-Iqbal-c2640.
Tamim suffered an elbow injury while batting during the first innings of the opening Test, and felt pain while preparing for the imminent clash. He faced only spin in the nets and will undergo a fitness test before being considered for the Khulna Test.
The left-hander scored a quick-fire half-century in the first innings but his early dismissal in the second led to a stunning collapse; as the hosts went onto lose the encounter by 77 runs. "Tamim sustained a muscle tendon injury during the first Test on his left elbow. He will do a fitness test later today or early tomorrow (Wednesday) morning," the team's physio Vibhav Singh was quoted as saying in a board release.
Sri Lankan skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397, has praised his teammates for their impressive show during the opening Test win over New Zealand at Galle.
The match was evenly placed when play resumed on day 3, with the Kiwi side recommencing their second innings from 35 for 1. However, they failed to deal with the spin of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HMRKB-Herath-c1559 and were bowled out on a lowly 118.
The hosts then easily chased down the 93-run target to strike first blood in the two-match Test series. Their position was fragile after they were restricted to 50 for 5 in the first innings, only to recover and take a slender lead. "It was a good Test match for the first two days. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 fought really well with the new ball and put us under a lot of pressure. We managed to fight through that situation and get ourselves into a position where the first innings wouldn't have mattered."
Australian veteran batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823. He was sidelined for the series’ opener at Brisbane and is a major doubt for the Adelaide clash, which begins on November 22.
He has resumed light training but the extent of his recovery will become clearer in the next 24 hours. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rob-Quiney-c2340 was his replacement in the opening Test.
