Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 1st ODI Post Match Presentation 2013

Posted: 23 Mar 2013 11:53 AM PDT

Angelo Mathews: ‘We were not that great in the field but we covered it up very well with the bat. The youngsters have done really well, combined well with the seniors and we will carry forward the same combination as long as we do well. There are a lot of positives, I know Bangladesh are a very good side, they can comeback strongly we just have to continue our good work.’

Mushfiqur Rahim: ‘Yeah it is disappointing for us to go down in this manner, they got off to a sensational start. Dilshan and Kushal took the game away from us. We didn’t hit the right areas and we will look to comeback stronger in the next game.’

Tillakaratne Dilshan is the Man of the Match. He says, ‘the start was very crucial, the ball was coming onto the bat very well and it made all the difference. Kushal also helped by getting off to a good start. I worked with Marvan on my batting and it paid off.’

India, Australia indulge in sledging at Kotla test #IndvsAus #IndvAus

Posted: 23 Mar 2013 06:45 AM PDT

India, Australia indulge in sledging at Kotla testSparks flew thick and fast between Ravindra Jadeja and David Warner as the two players found themselves involved in an ugly spat during the second day’s play of the fourth and final Test on Saturday.

It all started when Aussie pacer James Pattinson had a word with Jadeja, something that the India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni did not like.

When Pattinson returned to bowl, Dhoni was warned by the umpire for running on the pitch.

While a smiling Dhoni tried to settle the matter at his end, Warner, positioned at mid-on, looked the most animated and mumbled some profane words. Jadeja, at the non-striker’s end, retorted by showing the handle of his bat.

This further provoked the Australian opener and he complained to the umpire. The on-field umpires then called upon Jadeja and had a word with him.

Both Dhoni and Australia’s stand-in skipper Shane Watson were called in to soothe the fraying nerves but that did not seem to have deterred Warner and Jadeja from having another round of sledging. They once again exchanged expletives before heading to their respective ends.

As Watson was walking past the India skipper after settling the matter, he himself got engaged in a war of words with Dhoni.

In the same over, after the verbal spat, the third ball was played by Dhoni towards square-leg and Siddle, who was stationed there, flung the ball towards the India skipper. The ball narrowly missed Dhoni and he reacted angrily.

After that Pattinson had a huge leg before appeal against Jadeja turned down by the umpire. The shout seemed like a never-ending one but umpire Aleem Dar rightly ruled in favour of the batsman as the yorker was going down the leg.

After the over, drinks break was taken, which saw both on-field umpires having a long chat with Dhoni and Jadeja and later on, with the Australian skipper.

Nathan Lyon five-for leaves India in a spin, lead by 4 at stumps day 2 #IndvsAus #IndvAus

Nathan Lyon five-for leaves India in a spin, lead by 4 at stumps day 2Nathan Lyon scalped five wickets as Indian batsmen were tested for the first time in the series on a crumbling track but still managed to take a slender four-run first-innings lead in the fourth and final Test against Australia on Saturday.

At stumps after an intriguing second day’s play, India struggled their way to 266 for eight despite a century-plus opening stand between Cheteshwar Pujara (52) and Murali Vijay (57) after the visitors had scored 262 in their first innings.

The bulk of the damage was done in the post-tea session when India lost six wickets as the Australian bowlers looked menacing for the first time.

If India manage a lead of even 50 runs, it could turn out to be a decisive one considering Australia’s lack of firepower to counter the Indian spinners.

Curator Venkat Sundaram designed the pitch at the Feroz Shah Kotla keeping in mind the requirements of the Indian team, but it boomeranged on the hosts instead, as Lyon (5/94) extracted sharp turn and bounce to get rid of top-order players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Pujara and debutant Ajinkya Rahane.

Ravindra Jadeja survived a hostile spell from James Pattinson and faced constant sledging from the close-in fielders as he fought his way to a fighting 43 before getting a questionable leg before decision off Glenn Maxwell.

Pattinson and Peter Siddle also got certain deliveries to rear up awkwardly from the good length spot, which caused trouble for the batsmen.

Having gone into tea at a relatively comfortable 114 for two, the trouble started in the final session with an inspired spell of fast bowling from Siddle.

A nasty bouncer accounted for Vijay as he lobbed a simple catch to wicketkeeper Matthew Wade.

A second bouncer by the bowler softened up debutant Rahane (7), who got hit on the helmet and didn’t recover from the psychological blow. Lyon took advantage of the situation as he got one to pitch on the rough as Rahane presented a tame catch to the backward short-leg fielder.

Operating from the Delhi Gate End, Lyon used the deteriorating pitch conditions to good effect, using the rough created outside the leg-stump well. Also he got awkward bounce that created problems for the Indian batsmen who time and again got beaten while trying to play for the turn.

Even Tendulkar (32) found it difficult to hit him. Having survived a confident leg before appeal in the post-lunch session, the veteran did hit five boundaries with three lovely ones of Siddle. But the offie pushed one quicker through the air and it hurried off the surface to find the batsman plumb in-front.

Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit a few boundaries en route to his 24 but he committed early into a slow bouncer from Pattinson to give a simple catch to mid-wicket.

Earlier, the makeshift opening stand of Pujara and Vijay turned out to be a productive one as it yielded 108 runs in 25 overs with both players helping themselves to contrasting half-centuries.

While Pujara’s 76-ball 52, with five boundaries, was a busy innings, Vijay, who has been in fine form since the Hyderabad Test match, contributed a useful 57 off 123 balls and hit eight fours.

However, the Tamil Nadu opener was subdued after the completion of his 50 as his next seven runs came off 38 deliveries.

At the onset, Pujara played a majestic backfoot cover drive off Pattinson after Vijay opened his account with a streaky boundary past the slip cordon.

Pattinson drifted one onto his pads and he promptly got his second boundary. Then came the best shot of the morning session as he hit left-arm pacer Mitchell Johnson for a straight drive.

The three boundaries gave Pujara confidence to get off the blocks. Pujara’s stroke-making must have inspired Vijay as he elegantly played pacer Pattinson through the wide mid-on area.

The first five overs of the innings produced 34 runs and it looked as if Vijay and Pujara were already in the Indian Premier League mode, which is scheduled to start in 10 days’ time from now.

The 50-run partnership was completed in the 10th over. Pujara was finally dismissed after completing a well deserved half-century. Facing a Lyon delivery, Pujara played for the turn, but the ball went straight to hit the off-stump. Pujara faced 76 balls and hit five boundaries in the process.

Kohli also didn’t stay long as Lyon trapped him plumb-in-front for one.

Around 1:25 pm, Tendulkar walked out amid standing ovation from the 20,000 odd weekend crowd, and got off the mark off the 10th delivery that he faced.

In the morning, Australia finished their first innings on 262, adding 31 runs to their overnight total of 231 for eight.

Siddle completed his maiden Test fifty but was done in by a straighter one from Ashwin who completed his fourth five-wicket haul in the series. Siddle scored 51 off 136 balls with four boundaries. Ashwin finished with figures of five for 57 in 34 overs.

The Australian innings lasted a shade over 14 overs as Pattinson’s (30) dogged resistance ended with Pragyan Ojha getting his 100th Test wicket. Ojha completed the feat in his 22nd Test and is the third fastest to reach the milestone after Erapalli Prasanna and Anil Kumble.

Misbah-ul-Haq still Pakistan’s mentally, physically fittest player, says Mohsin Khan #PakvsSA

Posted: 23 Mar 2013 03:30 AM PDT

Misbah-ul-Haq still Pakistan's mentally, physically fittest player, says Mohsin KhanFormer coach Mohsin Khan has claimed Pakistan captain Misbahul Haq is still team’s fittest player, both physically and mentally.

For long Misbah has been the centre of attention, and sometimes it has been for good reasons, while, on occasions, his defensive tactics and batting style have come under severe criticism, the Express Tribune reports.

Calls for removal of the Pakistan One-Day International (ODI) and Test captain gained momentum after the team suffered a 3-0 whitewash at the hands of South Africa in the Test series.

Recently, former captain Moin Khan demanded sweeping changes in the team, calling for the removal of seasoned players and also asked the 38-year old Misbah to review his future in limited-overs cricket.

However, former coach Mohsin has backed the senior players, particularly Misbah, saying even if the skipper is 40 years old he will select him.

Mohsin added he has spent a lot of time with the team and according to his assessment Misbah and Younus Khan are the most physically fit players in our squad.

Mohsin added to be precise Misbah is the fittest cricketer, mentally and physically among the current lot, adding he heard people still asking for Misbah’s removal despite his match-winning knock in the fourth ODI against South Africa.

The former Test batsman said he wants to ask these people what do they want from a player who is fit and is performing well.

Besides hitting a match-winning 80, Misbah also chipped in with an unbeaten 57 to guide Pakistan to a win in the second ODI, and Mohsin said both the wins wouldn’t have been possible without Misbha’s crucial contributions.

The series is currently level 2-2 with the final ODI due to take place tomorrow.

Trent Boult twin strike put England on the back-foot on day 2 of 3rd Test #EngvsNZ

Posted: 23 Mar 2013 03:05 AM PDT

Trent Boult twin strikes put England on the back-foot on day 2 of 3rd TestTrent Boult grabbed two wickets as New Zealand reduced England to 50 for two and seized the advantage at the end of the second day of the deciding third test at Eden Park on Saturday.

Boult had England captain Alastair Cook caught behind for four then trapped Jonathan Trott in front for 27 as England slumped to 44 for two and handed the momentum back to the hosts.

Nick Compton was on 12, while Ian Bell was six not out and the visitors will head into the third day 393 runs behind, having dismissed New Zealand for 443 after tea following a feisty knock by Tim Southee.

Pace bowler Southee, who had been criticised for his cavalier approach to batting throughout the series, persisted with his attacking tactic and belted 44 runs in 33 balls to grab the initiative back for his side.

Steven Finn then raced through the tail after Southee was caught by wicketkeeper Matt Prior to finish with six wickets for 125, matching his career best figures against Australia in 2010.

Prior ended the innings with five catches.

“I felt as though I’ve bowled better in this game than I did in the previous two games,” Finn told reporters. “My lengths have been better, I’ve been fuller, making the batsman come forward more often than I have done in the previous games.

“But again that was a little bit of a rhythm thing, and I’ve felt good in this game so far.

“I was fortunate to get a couple of wickets today, but as a team we felt as though that we deserved some fortune.”

New Zealand, however, negated that opportunity when Cook got a faint edge down the leg side from a Boult delivery and he was caught by wicketkeeper BJ Watling.

Trott and Compton, who had combined for a 210-run partnership in the drawn second test at the Basin Reserve, looked in control as they were barely tested by New Zealand’s pace attack.

The introduction of left-arm spinner Bruce Martin, however, created some pressure at the northern end of the ground and Boult was switched to the southern end and got a ball that pitched on middle to seam back and hit Trott in front.

MISERLY SESSION

New Zealand’s hopes of posting a score in excess of 500 in the series-deciding third match were stymied earlier in the day.

England’s bowlers had seized the momentum in a miserly first session by capturing three wickets, removing Kane Williamson (91), Ross Taylor (19) and Peter Fulton (136), while allowing just 62 runs in 28 overs.

That slow scoring rate had set up an intriguing middle session with New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum seemingly well set at lunch and ready to launch a bludgeoning attack when he returned.

McCullum, who had scored six half centuries in his last seven innings against England, quickly advanced to 38 after the break and his eyes lit up when part-time seamer Jonathan Trott was introduced to the attack.

But twice McCullum mistimed shots against the slower pace then he chased a swinging wide delivery and was well caught by wicketkeeper Matt Prior.

The last recognised batsman Dean Brownlie fell shortly after for 36 when he cut a wide James Anderson delivery straight to Compton at backward point before Southee began his counter attack.

“We set out to put a strong first innings performance together and from the position we were in at one point we may have been looking at a few more but I think we’re happy with our total,” Williamson told reporters.

“It was nice to pick up a couple of wickets at the end of the day, and key wickets at that.

“If we can get the ball swinging there is a little bit of bounce there and if you hit the wicket you’ll get as much as you can out of it.”

Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI Live Streams 2013

Bangladesh had a thrilling series so far giving Sri Lanka a tough fight in the test series and now will be looking for the same in limited over cricket as well. Bangladesh have shown their potential in Test series and they can be neglected or taken lightly with such a effort. Bangladesh have beaten Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup last year to go into the finals. Mohammad Ashraful has returned to the ODI squad which is a big plus for the team. For Sri Lanka, this will be the first series for Angelo Mathews as skipper and will be looking for a positive outcome like they got in test series. Being a home side they will be under pressure but at the same time they can exploit the home advantage as well. Sri Lanka had a good ODI in recent times, they won the series against New Zealand and drawn the series in Australia. It will be another interesting tough fight to watch out for.
