| Rasool 7-wickets haul dismiss Australia for 241 in warm-up game against Board President’s XI Posted: 12 Feb 2013 06:04 AM PST
Rasool wreaked havoc in his three spells as he helped Board President’s XI bowl out the visiting side for a modest 241 in 88.3 overs on the opening day at the Guru Nanak College ground. The youngster did expose the now familiar weakness of the Australian batsmen against spin bowling and also presented the selection panel with an option beyond R Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh in the off-spin department. It could not have been a better birthday gift for the immensely talented cricketer from the valley, who recorded his career-best figures a day before his 24th birthday on Wednesday. Rasool did not try anything extraordinary in the 28.3 overs that he sent down during the day as he deceived the batsmen with flighted deliveries and also got appreciable turn from the slow track.
His seven scalps included top-order players like regular Test opener Ed Cowan, stand-in captain and wicketkeeper Matthew Wade and allrounder Steve Smith. Australian openers Cowan and Usman Khawaja (32) added 77 runs for the opening stand before Rasool made inroads into the opposition line-up. Left-handed Cowan, top-scored with 58 but was done in when he tried to play a cut shot and was snapped up by Parthiv Patel behind the stumps. Wade, who is in-charge of the side as Michael Clarke and Shane Watson are yet to arrive, hit couple of sixes of the bowling of leg-spinner Sarabjit Ladda on his way to 35 but misjudged the length of a flighted delivery from Rasool. Wade gave him the charge only to be holed at long-off by substitute fielder Kamlesh Makvana. After getting two wickets in his first spell, Rasool came back for his second spell to dismiss Smith, who was looking solid during his innings of 41. It was delivery that had bounce as well as turn as the right-hander gloved one to Mandeep Singh at forward short leg. Smith was the sixth man to be dismissed for 198 and then Peter Siddle (22) and James Pattinson (9) again had a partnership of 30 runs. With tail-enders frustrating, Board President’s XI skipper Abhinav Mukund again reverted back to Rasool, who then polished off the tail. First, it was the dogged Siddle who gave a catch to Mandeep Singh and was followed by Pattinson’s hoick which was collected by Ladda to give the youngster his fifth wicket. The sixth wicket came when Jackson Bird played to a wrong line and was bowled while the innings was terminated when last man Ashton Agar was stumped trying to give the charge and was stumped by Patel in the process. Save Rasool, Ladda got two wickets but gave away 90 runs in his 26 overs while Stuart Binny dismissed IPL’s new million dollar signing Glenn Maxwell. While almost all the top-order Australian players got a decent start, none of them were able to convert it into a big score. The fringe players of the Board President’s XI did well to expose the chinks in the Australian armour. Harbhajan Singh, who has tormented the Australians in the past should be buoyed by Rasool’s success as Cowan, Wade and one among the trio of Maxwell, Smith and Moises Henriques are certain to play in the top and middle-order alongside Michael Clarke, Shane Watson and Phillip Hughes.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Michael Clarke confident of getting fit before India-Australia 1st Test #IndvsAus Posted: 12 Feb 2013 02:20 AM PST
Never to have missed a Test through injury in his 89-Test career, Clarke said he has enough time to recover from the injury and wants to play in the three-day warm-up match but will go by what his physio Alex Kountouris decides. “I m feeling much better. I’ve had four days now of recovery, rehab and a lot of physio. I’m certainly on the mend and I’ve got some time when I arrive in India to get myself 100 per cent fit as well,” Clarke told reporters before leaving for India. “Like all the boys, the more preparation we can get in Indian conditions the better. I’d really like to play that three-dayer but again, I’ll be advised by Alex (Kountouris) the physio once I land in India but at this stage my plan is to play that three-dayer. “Look, there is so much time I don’t think there is any doubt I’ll be fit for the first Test. I’ll need to communicate with Alex to see what is the best preparation leading up to that Test,” he added.
Clarke, who missed the final ODI against the West Indies last Sunday due to a recurring hamstring strain, said he wants to spend some time to acclimatise with the Indian conditions. “In my mind cricket-wise I feel like I need that game to spend some time in Indian conditions both batting and bowling, but also with my captaincy as well because India is such a different place to Australia. “But I’ll listen to the expert and see what he has to say.” England notched up its first Test series victory in India in 28 years last year with the help of two spinners Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar but Clarke was unsure whether Australia would follow the same tactics. “We’re playing in different parts of India to England. We need to wait and see what the wickets are like before we make that decision,” Clarke said. But I’m more than happy to bowl as much as I need to bowl. We are lucky we have some good choices both pacers and spinners. I enjoy bowling in India but we will wait and see what happens,” he said. Clarke is also yet to figure out his revamped Australian batting line-up for the opening Test, following the retirement of Michael Hussey and vice-captain Shane Watson’s new role as a specialised batsman. “It’s very open, hence we’ve sent (17) players in three different stages to get over there as soon as possible to prepare and get used to conditions,” he said. “Runs and wickets will certainly play a big part in these practice games leading up to the first Test but for a lot of guys it’s more about preparation and seeing conditions.” Returning from injury, Watson opened the innings for Australia and ended as the leading run-getter in the West Indies series with 198 runs from three games at an average of 66 and he has expressed his desire to continue at the top. But for the six summer Tests against South Africa and Sri Lanka, Australia has being served by the opening duo of David Warner and Ed Cowan and Clarke was supportive of them. “Ed, like Davey Warner, had a really good summer and put their hand up against the No.1 Test team in the world (South Africa), so I think it’s a really positive sign that we’ve got so many options in our squad,” Clarke said. “Obviously, Shane needs to come back into the line-up. It’s a lot different now that Watto is not bowling. As an all-rounder, I think he walks into any team. “As a batsman, there is a much bigger pool of players so we’ve got to work out what our best batting line-up is,” he added.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| New Zealand crush England by 55 runs in 2nd T20 to level series #EngvsNZ Posted: 12 Feb 2013 01:55 AM PST
McCullum had anchored New Zealand’s innings to power them to 192 for six with 74 runs from 38 balls as he plundered England’s attack for six boundaries and five sixes. Mitchell McClenaghan, who took two wickets in successive balls in the second over, Trent Boult and Ian Butler then put the power-packed England batting line-up under constant pressure with aggressive pace bowling. Butler finished with two for nine from four overs, while McClenaghan had two for 24. James Franklin mopped up the tail to finish with 4-15 off 3.3 overs. Jos Buttler produced a cameo of 54 but received little help as England were dismissed for 137 in 19.3 overs.
England had won the first match at Eden Park in Auckland on Saturday by 40 runs, which was their sixth successive victory over New Zealand in the shortest format of the game and McCullum said he was pleased his side had put that behind them. “It was good. The other night was disappointing and England blew us off the park,” McCullum said in a televised interview. “The boys are very happy with the performance (and) … to bounce back from the other day. We knew we were short (on Saturday) and today was a really good performance from us.” Unlike Auckland, openers Hamish Rutherford and Martin Guptill kept the run rate above nine before Rutherford feathered a catch to Buttler off Luke Wright for 40 to leave the hosts well placed at 75-1 in the ninth over. The run rate however dropped markedly after Rutherford fell as England’s bowlers varied their length and pace with Wright and Jade Dernbach adept at disguising their slower deliveries. Guptill (47), Ross Taylor (four) and Colin Munro (seven) all fell when they failed to pick slower deliveries and lofted mistimed shots into the deep, while Grant Elliott (four) was bowled by a Dernbach delivery that was 30kph slower than the previous one. McCullum, however, took 22 off the 19th over from Stuart Broad, which included three sixes, before he became Dernbach’s third wicket on the penultimate delivery of the innings. The series decider will be in Wellington on Friday. “It was obviously a disappointing performance throughout but Twenty20 cricket can be like that,” Broad said. “You can be fantastic one day and then things don’t go your way the next day. So credit goes to New Zealand they outperformed us in everything.”  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2nd T20 : England vs New Zealand Post Match Presentation – 12 Feb 2013 #EngvsNZ Posted: 12 Feb 2013 01:36 AM PST Brendon McCullum: We were set up at the top of the order by Rutherford and Guptill. Then we bowled really well. Yes we would have elected to bowl as well, as on this small ground you can fancy chasing any total. There were many players who played a good hand, I was just one of them. Both Hamish and Mitchell are excellent prospects. Stuart Broad: We did not play well. New Zealand played fantastically well. McCullum took the game away from us on a small ground. Wrong decision to put New Zealand in. Disappointing show from us. But T20 cricket can be like that. Buttler has hit a lovely run of form, he is striking the ball really cleanly. The final T20I will be an exciting game. We will look back at what we did wrong and learn.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Australian Broadcasting Corporation not to cover India-Australia series #IndvsAus Posted: 11 Feb 2013 10:13 PM PST
The ABC said it could not afford the broadcast rights fees demanded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), understood to be much higher for the four-Test series beginning February 22 than previous Australian tours. It had still intended to send veteran radio commentator Jim Maxwell, but the BCCI refused him accreditation. “It is really disappointing,” an ABC spokeswoman told AFP. “It will result in it being covered through the news just like a news item but there won’t be any feeds, certainly not ball-by-ball coverage.”
As a general rule, ABC covers Australia’s Test matches in India, although it did not broadcast the 2010 series as it clashed with the Commonwealth Games. The ABC said its managing director Mark Scott was negotiating with the Indian High Commission in Australia to reverse Maxwell’s accreditation decision. “We are leaning on Cricket Australia to help out because this means that there is no free-to-air broadcast of what’s happening over there,” the spokeswoman said. Maxwell said the BCCI instead offered him a place in a VIP box for the entire series. However, he said this invitation came “with the proviso that if I wish to report on proceedings, because I am not a rights holder, I’ll have to leave the ground”. “So, obviously that is unacceptable to the ABC and we’ve decided not to go,” he told the broadcaster. “Essentially it seems as though the fact that we didn’t take up the rights, they feel as though as a radio reporter I don’t have a position there. I am not able to report live from the ground.” The development follows a rights dispute between some media organisations and the BCCI over England’s tour of India last year. News agencies including AFP, Thomson-Reuters and the Associated Press suspended text and photo coverage of the England series over the BCCI’s decision to bar photo counterparts such as Getty Images and Action Images.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2nd T20 : England wins toss, opts to field vs New Zealand – 12 Feb 2013 #EngvsNZ Posted: 11 Feb 2013 09:49 PM PST Toss: England have won the toss and elected to field Teams: England (Playing XI): Michael Lumb, Alex Hales, Luke Wright, Eoin Morgan, Jonathan Bairstow, Jos Buttler(w), Samit Patel, Stuart Broad(c), James Tredwell, Steven Finn, Jade Dernbach Eoin Morgan has been passed fit, so England are unchanged. Might be a quicker wicket at Seddon Park, so Stuart Broad has decided on a change of tack after seeing his team perform so spectacularly in batting first in Auckland. New Zealand have made a couple of changes, with Ian Butler and Grant Elliott coming in for Andrew Ellis and Ronnie Hira.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
