| Preview: Bangladesh vs West Indies, 4th ODI, Mirpur, 07 Dec 2012 Posted: 06 Dec 2012 12:00 PM PST
The penultimate encounter promises to be a cracker with the series at stake for the Windies. Having recently triumphed at the World T20, a series loss against Bangladesh would be the last thing Darren Sammy's men would want. Samuels once again holds the key for the visitors. On form right now, he is West Indies' number one batsman and if he fires again, the chances of a Caribbean win will go up manifold. The dangerous Chris Gayle, Kieran Powell, Darren Bravo and Kieron Pollard need to take a leaf out of Samuels' book. Against quality spinners and in non-conducive batting conditions, they need to get their eye in before they go for the kill.
For the tourists, Sunil Narine's return to form is another massive boost. It was his 4 for 37 that ensured that the Tigers don't pose an imposing total like they did in the second ODI. However, stats don't favour the Windies at all. The last time they came back from 1-2 down to win a series was against Zimbabwe in the 2003-04 season. Though they can take a lot of heart from the fact that Bangladesh's record at Dhaka is pretty bad. Here they have won just 24 out of 84 encounters, while at other venues in the country they have won 18 ties out of 36. When all is said and done, it is clear a West Indies win tomorrow will be good for the series as it will make the fifth encounter on Saturday a real cracker. However, Bangladesh would sure want to seal it on Friday. Of late there hasn't been any real success for them. A series win will provide a big boost to the game there. Meanwhile on the eve of the match, the Bangladeshis bolstered their spin attack for the remainder of the series by calling up left-armer Elias Sunny. However, it's not likely he will get a game. Probable XIs: Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal 2 Anamul Haque 3 Naeem Islam 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (c&wk) 5 Nasir Hossain 6 Mominul Haque 7 Mahmudullah 8 Mashrafe Mortaza 9 Sohag Gazi 10 Abdur Razzak 11 Rubel Hossain  |

| India vs England – Statistical Highlights – Day 2 – 3rd Test – Kolkata 2012 #IndvsEng Posted: 06 Dec 2012 10:33 AM PST
# Mahendra Singh Dhoni (52 off 114 balls) has recorded his 27th fifty in Tests – his seventh against England. # Dhoni’s home record is excellent, aggregating 1909 runs at an average of 43.38, including four hundreds and 14 fifties, in 35 matches. # At Eden Gardens, Dhoni took his tally to 415 runs in five innings at an average of 138.33, including two hundreds and three fifties. At this venue, he has posted three fifty-plus innings in succession for the first time – an unbeaten 132 against South Africa in February 2010; 144 against West Indies in November 2011 and 52 against England in the present Test.
# Nick Compton (57) has recorded his maiden fifty in Tests. # Alastair Cook is the tenth batsman to cross 7,000 runs in Test Cricket for England. At 27 years 347 days, he became the youngest ever to achieve the feat, beating Sachin Tendulkar’s record of reaching 7000 runs in 28 years 193 days. # Cook has taken 151 innings to complete 7,000 runs – the third quickest for England, next only to Wally Hammond(131) and Kevin Pietersen (150). # Cook’s above innings is the highest by an England skipper at Eden Garden. Tony Greig was the first England skipper to register a hundred – 103 in 1976-77. # With his majestic unbeaten 136 – his 23rd hundred, Cook holds a record for most hundreds for England in Tests. He became the fourth England batsman to register three hundreds in a Test rubber against India and joined Ken Barrington (1961-62), Graham Gooch (1990) and Michael Vaughan (2002). # Cook became the fifth overseas player to record three or more centuries in a Test rubber against India in India. Everton Weekes is the only one to post four hundreds while Garry Sobers, Ken Barrington and Hashim Amkla have recorded three each. # Alastair Cook and Nick Compton have recorded their highest partnership (165) in the series, eclipsing the 123 at Motera. The pair has managed 438 runs at an average of 109.50 in the current rubber. # The above opening stand is a record for England against India at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, behind the 178 between Graeme Fowler and Tim Robinson at Chepauk, Chennai in January 1985. The said stand is the sixth highest for the first wicket for England against India in Tests. # Cook, with 493 runs at an average of 164.33, is all set to become the first England captain to manage 500 runs in a Test series against India on Indian soil. The previous record stood in Ted Dexter’s name – 409 (ave 58.42) in five matches in 1961-62. # Cook has joined Sobers and these two are the only two left-handed skippers to have registered three centutries in the same Test series against India.  |

| Amazing to bat with highest century maker for England: Compton #IndvsEng Posted: 06 Dec 2012 08:10 AM PST
“Standing up there today and looking at the board and the stats that Cook is the youngest to put 7000 runs. It was quite an amazing moment! I was batting with this guy, the all-time leading century-maker for England,” Compton couldn’t stop praising his opening partner. Compton says that Cook has a very clear head and knows what exactly he’s doing. “I would say he’s very clear. He seems to know exactly what he’s doing and what he wants to do. For me, it’s easy to chill out there at the other end. It becomes a big difference when you have a player of Cook’s calibre.”
The grandson of legendary Dennis Compton complimented Cook for his fantastic temperament. “Being very unflappable is probably a good way to describe him (Cook). He’s tough. I’ve really enjoyed the time I spent out there,” Compton said. “He’s quite an easy guy to get used to. He keeps things very simple. It’s just a good way to get to know someone by getting there in the middle. You can’t be closer to someone really in the heat of the battle. I really enjoyed that.” Compton says that Cook is only 27 and his achievements speaks for him. “He’s still young. A lot of players get there at my age probably at 28-29 but he’s still very young at 27. It speaks volumes about him.” The Somerset batsman compared Cook with burly former opener Marcus Trescothick. “To bat with him in someways is similar to batting with (Marcus) Trescothick at Somerset. Clearly, they are different players but how clinical they are. They make very few mistakes on each delivery. Every ball is played in a similar fashion, he always sees the ball, when it’s released.” Compton feels that Cook’s ability judge a delivery is exceptional. “He always knows what’s he’s going to do. He has forward defence, the sweep shot, he seems to do that time and time again. That’s the mark of a serious player. He does the simple things for a long period of time. He’s been very very clear batting at the other end.” Compton scored his maiden half-century from three Test in a 165-run opening partnership with Cook. “He’s very clear in his gameplan and confidence as well. It does give the other players confidence. He’s so solid. You know he’s not going to give his wicket way easily. If we can stay with him, you’re doing job.” Cook hit a six off Ravichandran Ashwin and Compton said he has all the shots in his armoury. “The six was originally not a mark of his game but he has probably taken his game to another level with the array of shots.”  |
| Nick Compton disappointed with umpire’s wrong decision #IndvsEng Posted: 06 Dec 2012 07:40 AM PST
“I am a bit disappointed. The ball had actually hit my gloves before hitting the pads,” Compton, who posted his maiden test fifty, told mediapersons after day two of the third cricket test against India at the Eden Gardens. He, however, defended the Australian umpire saying it was difficult for Tucker to judge. “It was really difficult for the umpire to judge whether the ball had hit my glove from that angle,” added Compton.
While trying to paddle-sweep left armer Pragyan Ojha, Compton was adjudged leg before by Tucker who initially nodded his head in the negative before raising his finger. Compton defended stoutly and faced 137 balls for his 57 and stitched a 165-run first wicket partnership with skipper Alastair Cook, who was unbeaten on 136 at stumps.  |
| Alastair Cook unbeaten ton guides England to 216/1 at stumps on Day 2 of third Test #IndvsEng Posted: 06 Dec 2012 04:50 AM PST
Scorecard | Day 2 Highlights 3rd Test Cook remained unbeaten on a brilliant 136 to lay the platform for a mammoth first innings total as the visitors cruised to a comfortable 216 for one at close on the second day. In reply to India’s first innings score of 316, England put up a solid batting display and rode on a 165-run opening stand between Cook and Nick Compton (57) as Indian bowlers had a disappointing day. Currently England need another 101 runs with nine wickets in hand to take the first innings lead and consolidate the position from there on.
Having scored his 23rd Test ton which is highest by any English batsmen, Cook also created a world record of notching five centuries from the five Test matches as captain. The England captain led from the front as he struck a six and 19 boundaries in his nearly five hour long undefeated stay at the crease and became the youngest batsman to go past 7000 Test runs at the age of 27 years 347 days, eclipsing Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 28 years and 193 days. In his sparkling innings, Cook gave a solitary chance while on 17, when he was dropped by Cheteshwar Pujara of the bowling of Zaheer Khan — a miss that eventually proved too costly for the Indians and it will be difficult to bounce back in the series which is levelled 1-1. Earlier resuming the day at 273 for seven, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni scored a half-century before the hosts were bowled out inside the first hour of the day. Dhoni scored 52 off 114 balls with five fours and two huge sixes off Monty Panesar’s bowling and was the last man out when he unsuccessfully tried to fend a short-pitch delivery from Steven Finn. The Indian bowling proved to be pedestrian with an out of form Ishant Sharma providing a lot of loose deliveries. Even the spinners, especially off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, looked woefully out of form while left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha also toiled without much success. While Zaheer had figures of none for 48 from 16 overs, Ishant gave away 35 runs in his 15 wicketless overs. The sad part about Ishant’s bowling was lack of rhythm as he also overstepped on couple of occasions. Ojha however gave India their only breakthrough in the final session of the day when Compton was given out leg before and the decision by New Zealand umpire Rod Tucker looked to be a dubious one. After being put down at first slip by Pujara, Cook did not have any trouble negotiating the Indian attack as he raced to his 50 in the second session. Dhoni kept on rotating his bowlers but the English openers put on 100-run partnership before tea, their second century-plus opening partnership in the series. Just after tea, Cook drove Sharma past point for three runs to become the youngest to join the club of 7,000 Test runs. The record-breaking 23rd century was then on cards as Cook completed it with a huge smile and punching in the air before acknowledging the feat to the present 1,000-odd English Barmy Army in the B-Block of Eden Gardens. Cook displayed all the shots in his armoury bisecting the field with ease and his cover drive off length deliveries bowled by Zaheer Khan were a treat to watch. Zaheer changed ends and tried to use the reverse swing but the England captain was equal to the task as he negotiated everything successfully. Earlier, it was the 27th half-century by Dhoni that helped India cross the 300-run mark but the skipper didn’t get much help from lower-order. Having started the proceedings of the second day, James Anderson created pressure from the high court end, while Monty Panesar bowled cleverly using a lot of variations from the Club House End. Panesar added two more to his tally to become the most successful England bowler with four for 90 while Anderson claimed three for 89 though could not add up to his Wednesday’s tally. India had a jittery start when Zaheer, on two, edged one at the second slip in the third over of the day but only to be dropped by Swann off Anderson’s bowling. The English pacer again troubled the Indians with his clever use of reverse swing but was unlucky in giving the first breakthrough. Zaheer however could not prolong his innings as in the very next over he was trapped leg before by Panesar. Panesar seemed to be on a roll when he returned to castle Ishant Sharma (0) in his next over as India looked to be in danger of being bowled out short of 300-run mark. After being reduced to 296 for nine, Dhoni stitched a 20-run partnership with No. 11 Ojha, who supported his skipper playing out 19 balls, though without scoring. Field was spread out for Dhoni who preferred to score in boundaries or taking a run of the last ball as he tried to keep Ojha out of Anderson. India crossed the 300-mark with Dhoni lofting Panesar over long-off as the Indian skipper followed it up with another six, this time over long on. Dhoni raced to the half-century with a boundary over extra cover but only to get out in the next ball when his top-edge that flew over gully was caught by Swann who completed a fine catch running a few yards sideways.  |
