Shakib al Hasan ruled out of ODI series against West Indies #BanvsWI

Posted: 01 Dec 2012 09:21 AM PST

Bangladesh suffered a crucial blow when their star all-rounder Shakib al Hasan was ruled out of the entire one-day series against the West Indies because of injury, an official said on Saturday.

The 25-year-old all-rounder’s chronic shinbone injury recurred during the second Test in Khulna last week and he was initially ruled out of the first two of the five-match one-day series.

Bangladesh physician Debashish Chowdhury said after a review of his MRI scan reports on Saturday that he has been asked to rest for four to six weeks.

“We reviewed his MRI and have decided to rest him for the series,” Chowdhury told reporters. “He will need at least four to six week rest to heal the injury, though no surgery is required.”

Despite the absence of the star all-rounder, Bangladesh clinched a comfortable seven-wicket win against the tourists in the first one-day here on Friday, to go 1-0 up in the series.

Young uncapped batsman Mominul Haque replaced Shakib in the squad for the first two matches and is now likely to retain his place for the entire series after making his debut on Friday.

The second match of the series will also be played in Khulna on Sunday. The remaining three matches are in Dhaka on December 5, 7 and 8. The two teams will also play a Twenty20 international, also in Dhaka on December 10.

Hashim Amla, Smith helps South Africa dominate on Day 2 of Perth Test #AusvsSA

Posted: 01 Dec 2012 04:06 AM PST

Pace spearhead Dale Steyn rediscovered his best form to bowl South Africa into a commanding position on the second day of the third and final Test against Australia at the WACA Ground on Saturday.

Steyn’s four-wicket haul helped decimate the Australian first innings and hand his side a 62-run lead, before Proteas batsmen Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla ripped the match away from the home side.

Skipper Smith and Amla shared in a thrilling 178-run stand for the second wicket at almost seven runs an over as the tourists took a stranglehold on the top ranking in Test cricket.

At stumps, South Africa were 230 for two in their second innings, representing an overall lead of 292 runs with eight wickets left and three days still to play.

Amla was on 99 from just 84 balls with his 18th Test century beckoning, while Jacques Kallis, dropped on three by Nathan Lyon from the bowling of Mitchell Starc, was on 17.

The highest successful run chase at the WACA is South Africa’s 414 for four in 2008.

Smith fell for 84 late in the day, brilliantly caught by a diving Lyon at deep square leg off Mitchell Starc to end a devastating partnership in just 25.3 overs with Amla.

Defending just 225 after winning the toss and electing to bat on the opening day, the Proteas rallied behind the fast bowling of Steyn to rout the home side for 163 off 53.1 overs.

Steyn had barely been a factor in the series, with just five wickets in the first two Tests, but tore through the Australian top order to finish with four for 40 off 16 overs.

Having already claimed the wicket of opener Ed Cowan for a first-ball duck late on the first day, he devastated the home side in the first 30 minutes on Saturday.

The home side resumed at 33 for two and collapsed dramatically.

In his first over of the day, Steyn removed careless opener David Warner, caught behind for 13 when he slashed at a wide delivery, despite the Australian asking for the decision to be reviewed.

Steyn then removed night watchman Lyon three balls later for seven, caught at gully by Faf du Plessis.

Champion batsman Ricky Ponting strode to the crease to huge applause in his farewell Test, but lasted just over 15 minutes before being trapped lbw by Vernon Philander (2-55) for four, another Australian decision review failing.

Australian skipper Michael Clarke’s golden run of form came to an end when he became Steyn’s fourth victim, caught behind for just five from a searing delivery.

The home team were 45 for six, having lost four wickets for just 11 runs.

It would have been 45 for seven had Amla’s throw at the stumps from mid-off, with Matthew Wade well out of his crease and having given up the cause, been a direct hit.

Wade made it a costly miss as he top-scored with a counter-attacking 68 off 102 balls that included three sixes.

Spinner Robin Peterson cleaned up the tail to finish with three for 44, John Hastings the last man to fall for 32 when Alviro Petersen caught the ball, threw it up in the air as he stepped back over the boundary rope, and then stepped back into play to complete a clever catch.

Andrew Flintoff starts off boxing career with a win

Posted: 01 Dec 2012 02:39 AM PST

Former England cricket captain Andrew Flintoff came off the canvas to mark his professional boxing debut with a points win over American heavyweight Richard Dawson on Friday.

The 34-year-old was floored in the second round of a lively affair but after dominating the other three rounds had his hand rightly raised in victory on a score of 39-38 on the referee’s scorecard.

It was a deserved win for the former England and Lancashire fast-bowling all-rounder who dropped three-and-a-half stone to weigh in at 15st 6lb for his first foray into boxing after a five-month training camp with former world featherweight champion Barry McGuigan.

“As a personal achievement, this tops the lot,” said Flintoff, who won two Ashes series during his cricket career.

“The crowd made a massive difference tonight. I’ll appreciate I was sloppy at times, but it was a humbling moment.”

Flintoff, who was perceived as overweight during his days playing cricket, certainly took the training seriously for this as he looked in much better shape than his American opponent in the four-round clash.

The unbeaten Dawson did not have much more experience in the ring himself with just two previous outings against opponents without wins, and he gave away five inches to the taller Flintoff while carrying in almost an extra two stone in weight.

Around 5,000 fans turned up at the Manchester Arena — including a mix of boxing fans, those who followed Flintoff’s cricket career and some who were just intrigued to find out how an ex-cricketer could get on in the boxing world.

Some of Flintoff’s former England team-mates, including Matthew Hoggard and Steve Harmison amongst others, were ringside to see the man more known for knocking wickets down than fighters,
The 34-year-old entered the ring in a Lancashire cricket shirt but it was a walk very different to the one he used to make from the pavilion to the crease, this time the roped-off ring awaited him after Dawson had entered to a chorus of boos.

Flintoff looked confident as he stared down the American and soaked up the applause.

The British fighter, roared on by an excited crowd, pawed out jabs in the opening stages against a clearly tentative Dawson, but every time he got close and tried to swing a right hand, the American tied him up.

It was a scrappy opening round in what was clearly two very raw novices but that did not stop the crowd from bellowing out “Freddie” from the rafters.

Flintoff went wild at the start of the second and was duly punished.

After missing with a right, Dawson landed a lovely left hook that put Flintoff down but he climbed to his feet before taking the standing eight count.

He was rightly given a dressing down in the corner by coach Shane McGuigan, son of Barry, and came out in the third a little less gung-ho.

While able to push Dawson back, Flintoff’s shots were still missing and turning into slaps but the occasional jab was getting through.

Dawson battled back towards the end of the third and landed a jab that flicked Flintoff’s head back but the ex-cricketer kept the pressure on.

Flintoff again dominated the fourth, constantly coming forward with a barrage of shots that Dawson, who looked disinterested, could not handle.

The former cricketer was then rightly awarded the win and the supporters went wild in approval for his successful debut.
