Uva Next opt to field first in CLT20 dead rubber against Trinidad & Tobago – Cricket News Roundup – October 11, 2012 – Part 2
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 Premier League champions Uva Next won the toss and decided to field first against Trinidad & Tobago, in their Champions League Twenty20 match at the New Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg today, rendered inconsequential after both teams failed to qualify for the main event.
The match marks the last both teams will be playing before they take their respective flights home, and despite the obvious pointlessness of the match, which forms a part of the CLT20’s three-day qualifying phase, the game provides both teams the opportunity to make their exit on a good note.
However, the teams’ selection betrayed their lack of enthusiasm, as Trinidad & Tobago left out key bowlers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wijesinghe-Mudiyanselage-Charith-Jayampathi-c96551.
Following in the footsteps of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clive-Hubert-Lloyd-c51327, who has held the post since 2008.
“In Anil Kumble, we have a new chairman who has unquestioned experience not only as a player with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alan-Raymond-Isaac-c42771, ICC president. “I am sure that he will carry on Clive's good work.”
In a meeting in Colombo this week, the ICC board unanimously agreed upon Kumble’s nomination for the post. The former spin bowler will take up the role alongside balancing his duties as head of the BCCI’s technical committee and president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association. Other changes in the committee include the addition of former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ian-Emlyn-Bishop-c63832 as his own replacement after the former Windies’ bowler decided to step down.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, claiming he aims to squeeze in some Shield games before he makes a comeback to the Test arena.
“I wouldn't want to go into a Test match without playing too much, at least there's three or four blokes ahead of me anyway,” said Cummins, adding that he was looking to “play a couple of Shield games” first. “I haven't played with a red ball for 12 months. I'd say the first couple of games very unlikely.”
The 19-year-old made an emphatic Test debut against South Africa in November 2011, claiming a total of 7 wickets. However, he was dropped from the squad for the subsequent home series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 under his belt before Australia host the Proteas for a series of 3 Tests next month.
