http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 falter in the ODI series finale in Bangladesh - Cricket News Roundup – Part 1 – December 09, 2012
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747, who hosted the five-match ODIs against West Indies, won the series finale to stop the tourists from taking home the tournament.
The fifth match that was played at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, saw Bangladesh invite the tourists to bat. The Windies then managed to post a modest score of 217 on the board before getting bowled-out in 48 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KA-Pollard-c1754 was the top batsman for hammering 85 runs as he played a vital role in preventing his side from faltering on a humiliating score.
The Windies would now be wondering where they went wrong, as their bowling was not bad on Saturday, where http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KAJ-Roach-c1758 even managed to take five wickets, but still the hosts comfortably reached the target in 44 overs with two wickets remaining.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566, believes his side stuck to their plan which helped them humble the dangerous Indian batting to a score of 239 with nine wickets down at stumps on the fourth day of play.
"It was hard for us to get that first wicket but we stuck to our guns and we stuck to the plans we have worked towards in the series and that paid off. At lunch we said that we needed to up it a bit. We needed to focus on how we wanted to get the batsmen out," Finn said after the end of the day’s play.
The pacer, who took three wickets for 37, lavished praise on spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 for breaking the first partnership which yielded 86 runs.
“That ball from Swanney was an excellent one. That sort of kick-started us into the session,” said the pacer.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, the Indian opener, believes that his batsmen lacked the patience to bat on the Kolkata wicket, as his side was run over by the England bowlers on day-four of the third Test between the two nations.
Insisting that the wicket was good to bat on, he said, "Wicket was not that bad to lose six wickets in a session. But we have to work hard to bounce back in the next game."
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 ended the day with a 32-run lead and one wicket in hand.
