| Yuvraj big hits made all the difference: MS Dhoni #IndvsPak Posted: 28 Dec 2012 11:08 AM PST
“Yuvi was at his best, those big sixes and fours really helped us in the end. We got 10 runs more than what we would have been happy with,” said Dhoni at the post-match presentation ceremony. Yuvraj creamed three sixes off Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal in the 19th over, which helped India post a competitive 192 for five. Dhoni praised his bowlers for finding their mojo just in the nick of time to restrict the arch-rivals to 181 for seven.
“A lot depends on the youngsters bowling the last overs, I think they held their nerve nicely. They were feeling the pressure but they responded really well and executed the yorkers. When they wanted to bowl slower ones they did that,” he said. Dhoni said Gautam Gambhir and Ajinkya Rahane laid a solid platform for the rest of the Indian batsmen with their 44-run opening stand. “While batting we got off to a very good start from Gautam and Jinks. Overall it was a good competition between the two sides,” he added. Dhoni’s counterpart, Mohammad Hafeez blamed his bowlers for not following the basics right. “When we were bowling, we didn’t follow the basics, we bowled short of length,” he said. Hafeez, who was adjudged the man-of-the-series, admitted that the 97-run partnership between Yuvraj and Dhoni made all the difference. The Pakistani skipper said the batsmen should have scored more runs in the 7-10 overs while chasing the target. “In the first six overs, we played very well but in the seventh-tenth over we didn’t score as much as we should have. We wanted Umar Akmal to have more time in the middle but overall it was a good game.” Man-of-the-match Yuvraj Singh said today’s knock came as a sigh of relief for him as he was finding it difficult to middle the ball in the nets a day before the game. “Yesterday, I was batting in the nets and I couldn’t middle a single ball, so I was trying to spend time in the middle there,” he said. Yuvraj said had Dhoni and he stayed at the crease till the end, India would have ended breaching the 200-mark barrier. “We thought 160-170 was a good total but if MS and me stayed till the end we knew we could score more,” he said.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yuvraj Singh, Ashok Dinda level T20 series for India against Pakistan #IndvsPak #PakvsInd Posted: 28 Dec 2012 07:27 AM PST
Scorecard | India vs Pakistan 2nd T20 Highlights Defending 192, India held the nerve in the end as Dinda removed Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Akmal in one over to restrict Pakistan to 181/7 in 20 overs at Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad. Skipper Hafeez led Pakistan chase from the front as he smashed 23-ball fifty, smacking five fours and three sixes. Dinda ended Hafeez’s scintillating 55-run knock to bring India back into the match. India got a huge breakthrough when pacer Dinda dismissed Umar Akmal to break 62-run third wicket stand between Hafeez and the former. Indian spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuvraj Singh removed Nasir Jamshed and Ahmed Shehzad respectively to give Pakistan double jolt in quick succession.
Jamshed and Shehzad started off well, adding 74-run stand for the first wicket to lay the foundation for Pakistan. Earlier, Yuvraj’s career-best T20 knock could not have come at a more opportune time as it lifted India to a defendable total after being pegged back by three quick strikes. Ever since Yuvraj arrived on the wicket, Pakistani bowlers bled runs as the left-hander plundered seven huge sixes and four boundaries in his 36-ball blitzkrieg to entertain a jam-packed house. With skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (33) he added 97-runs for the fourth wicket as India put on board its highest total against Pakistan in T20s. Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal bore the brunt of Yuvraj’s fury as the Indian creamed four sixes off him with three coming in a row in the 19th over, which yielded India 22 runs. Yuvraj was out in the last over off paceman Umar Gul, who was the most succesful bowler for Pakistan with four wickets at the expense of just 37 runs. Earlier, India openers provided a fiery start, adding 44 runs inside five overs, but neither Gautam Gambhir (21) nor Ajinkya Rahane (28) could build on that. The two openers were in good touch, driving and cutting elegantly. Rahane found boundries on the off-side despite facing a packed off-side field and also flicked confidently. Gambhir was in much better form than Bangalore and his drives off Sohail Tanvir was a treat to watch but Gul removed both of them in space of two overs. Gambhir departed after hitting Gul for three consecutive boundaries as he was foxed by a slower one. Gul returned and effected Rahane’s dismissal with a catch in his follow through when the diminutive batsman miscued a pull shot. Young fast bowler Mohammad Irfan was again impressive as he welcomed Yuvraj with a toe-crushing yorker. The two quick wickets pegged India back, free-flowing runs stopped and pressure was on Yuvraj and Virat Kohli to wriggle the side out of the tight situation. Kohli (27) too departed after getting his eye in when a confusion between him and Yuvraj resulted in his run out. Dhoni arrived and meant business straight away, dispatching one from Shahid Afridi with a lofted drive to the fence. Yuvraj too started the fireworks, hitting a massive six off Afridi over mid-wicket to bring up India’s 100 as India reeled off 17 runs in the 13th over. Ajmal too got the same treatment by Yuvraj as one of his deliveries vanished in the crowd. Dhoni and Yuvraj continued in the same vein till the end and ensured the India have enough runs on the board to defend.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| India vs Pakistan 2nd T20 Post Match Presentation Ahmedabad 2012 #IndvsPak #PakvsInd Posted: 28 Dec 2012 07:13 AM PST Dhoni: ‘A lot depends on the youngster or the bowler who is bowling the last over and they held their nerve nicely. The youngsters were feeling the pressure but executed their yorkers and the slower ones when the field was set for it. First of all we don’t know whether there will be dew or not on this so one does not know what is a good score. The good thing was Yuvi getting those sixes and fours. The last venue we had the wicket supporting the bowlers and you come here and it is a flat wicket but that’s what the format is all about.’ Hafeez: ‘The boys really worked hard to win the series, but during the 2nd stage of the innings we didn’t follow the basics. The partnership between MS and Yuvraj was the difference. The 7th to 10th over we didn’t bat well and we couldn’t finish it off, but still a good game of T20 Cricket. The crowd was exceptionally good and really enjoyed playing here today.’ Hafeez is the Man of the Series for his back to back fifties. Yuvraj Singh: ‘Yesterday I was batting in the nets and I couldn’t hit a single ball out of the ground and it was disappointing. But today I did. The yorker from Irfan reminded me of Wasim Akram. Tried to bat through and was hitting the ball well late on. If me and MS always have a partnership and we got a really good score and that helped us win the game. Enjoyed the support over here and hopefully come back and play here. India Pakistan is amazing, we always have had great matches against them and there’s lot of passion when both countries play.’ Yuvraj Singh is the Man of the Match for his 36 ball 72.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It looks like a pitch which might not change throughout. Bhuvneshwar bowled superbly well. He may have to bowl slightly shorter on a flatter wicket. He looks like a smart guy. A 3 match series is better. Ashwin is in for Jadeja Hafeez:‘The way the boys came out with a good performance under pressure in the previous game was brilliant. The energy was great. We want to repeat it. We are playing the same side.

It is expected to be a batting paradise. It will be interesting to see what the captain winning the toss chooses to do.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| New Zealand announce 15 member ODI squad for South Africa tour #NZvsSA Posted: 28 Dec 2012 12:27 AM PST
The squad includes eleven players who featured in the recent Twenty20 series against South Africa together with BJ Watling, Adam Milne, Kane Williamson and Kyle Mills. National Selection Manager, Kim Littlejohn, said: "We believe we've selected a strong squad with a good blend of experienced performers and some very talented younger players who can play high quality limited overs cricket "We're keen to show consistency in selection for our short-form side and retain the nucleus of the squad who competed in the T20 series along with four players from the last ODI series against Sri Lanka. "There is healthy competition for places in our starting line-up at present and we are working on developing a larger group of players who can compete at international level."
BLACKCAPS Coach, Mike Hesson, said: "Uncapped players Corey Anderson, Ronnie Hira, Mitchell McClenaghan, Colin Munro and Jimmy Neesham get their chance after excelling in domestic cricket and showing plenty of promise during the recent T20 series. "They have all had valuable experiences playing against strong opposition and are maturing all the time as cricketers. "We are confident these young players, in combination with our established senior players, will be highly competitive against South Africa. "The decision to leave Doug Bracewell out of the ODI squad is in-line with our policy to sensibly manage player workloads. He has a big role to play in the Test series against South Africa and will benefit from the opportunity to freshen up ahead of the home series against England." Andrew Ellis and Tim Southee were not considered due to injury. New Zealand Squad: Brendon McCullum (c), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, James Franklin, Martin Guptill, Roneel Hira, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Adam Milne, Colin Munro, Jimmy Neesham, Rob Nicol, BJ Watling, Kane Williamson  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| India-Australia 3rd Test shifted from Kanpur to Hyderabad #IndvsAus Posted: 27 Dec 2012 11:33 PM PST
“The Tour, Programme and Fixtures Committee of the BCCI has decided to shift the third Test of the forthcoming AIRTEL Test series between India and Australia from the Green Park, Kanpur to the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad. This change is as per the rotation policy of the Board,” BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale said in a statement. “The change was necessitated because the ongoing construction activity at the Green Park, Kanpur, would not have been completed in time for the Test,” it added. The BCCI’s decision came after a Cricket Australia inspection team expressed dissatisfaction with Green Park’s facilities.
“Neither the ACA or Cricket Australia is keen on playing in Kanpur. We’ve made that known to the BCCI (Indian board) but we haven’t received a definitive response yet,” the Australian Cricketers’ Association chief Paul Marsh had stated. “The change-room facilities are not up to international standard and there are various issues with the outfield and the pitch. The main thing is there are certain facilities they haven’t got that we would expect to be in place for international cricket,” he added. India will take on Australia in a four-match Test series, and the other three matches will be played in New Delhi, Mohali and Chennai. The revised match-schedule is as follows: First Test — Delhi (February 22 to 26) Second Test — Mohali (March 2 to 6) Third Test — Hyderabad (March 14 to 18) Fourth Test — Chennai (March 22 to 26).  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Australia crush Sri Lanka by an innings and 201 runs in Boxing Day test at MCG #AusvsSL Posted: 27 Dec 2012 10:21 PM PST
Sri Lanka, trailing by 304 runs on the first innings, surrendered for just 103 for seven off 24.2 overs with Kumar Sangakkara retiring hurt and Prasanna Jayawardene and Chanaka Welegedara unable to bat because of injuries. Paceman Mitchell Johnson was the dominant player with six wickets and an unbeaten 92 to be named man-of-the-match. Sri Lanka somehow have to regroup amid their casualty ward of injured players for the third and final dead rubber Test starting in Sydney next Thursday. Their remote hopes went out the door when star batsman Sangakkara retired on 27 after he was struck on the glove by a menacing lifter from Johnson. Sangakkara immediately sought treatment from the physio and left the ground with noticeable swelling around his left index finger, indicating a possible fracture.
He was the second Sri Lankan player to suffer a hand injury in the Boxing Day Test with wicketkeeper Jayawardene receiving a hairline thumb fracture when also struck by Johnson in the first innings. With paceman Chanaka Welegedara already ruled out of further involvement in the Melbourne Test with a hamstring injury, the Sri Lankan second innings ended at seven wickets down to complete a wretched Test for the tourists. Facing a 304-run innings deficit after the Australians were dismissed for 460 with Johnson left stranded on 92, Sri Lanka virtually hoisted the white flag with the loss of four wickets in the first six overs. Sangakkara, one of two 10,000-Test run-getters in the Sri Lankan batting lineup, was the last remaining hope along with vice-captain Angelo Mathews at lunch. But it all unravelled in the middle session with Sangakkara’s unfortunate exit and Mathews chopping the firebreathing Johnson on to his stumps for 35. Dhammika Prasad clubbed spinner Nathan Lyon for successive sixes and went after a third before miscuing up in the air for an easy catch to Phil Hughes for 17. Shaminda Eranga was last man out, caught close in by Ed Cowan off Peter Siddle for a duck and the misery was all over for Sri Lanka. The tourists had a dreadful start with four wickets tumbling in the first six overs, including out-of-form skipper Mahela Jayawardene for a duck. Opener Dimuth Karunaratne hesitated going for a second run off the third ball of the innings and David Warner pounced, with Johnson knocking down the stumps at the bowler’s end and the Sri Lankan opener well short of his ground. Fellow opener Tillakaratne Dilshan went next ball, spooning a rising Johnson delivery off his hip to Cowan at bat-pad for a duck leaving Sri Lanka at two for one. Jayawardene, who has struggled for runs away from home in the last three years, lasted just six balls before he edged Jackson Bird on to his stumps in the second over of the innings. Jayawardene, one of only 11 players to score 10,000 runs in Test cricket, has now gone 26 innings in away Tests without making a half-century. Thilan Samaraweera was next to go leg before wicket to Bird for one as the tourists lurched to 13 for four in the sixth over. Earlier, Australia lasted just 5.4 overs before they were all out for 460 in their first innings. Johnson was left stranded short of his second Test century on 92 not out off 150 balls.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
