Hamish Rutherford century on debut put New Zealand in command on Day 3 #EngvsNZ

Posted: 07 Mar 2013 10:01 PM PST

Hamish Rutherford century on debut put New Zealand in command on Day 3Hamish Rutherford’s century on debut helped New Zealand to a 235-run first innings lead over England on Friday before rain and fading light stopped them from extending their advantage by cutting short the third day of the first test.

Rutherford scored a dynamic 171, the second highest score by a New Zealander in his first test, to help the hosts reach 402 for seven in reply to England’s 167 when play was stopped about 20 minutes into the third and final session of the day.

Umpires Asad Rauf and Paul Reiffel decided the light mist that had been drifting across University Oval for 45 minutes was too bad to continue and no further play was possible.

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum, who was unbeaten on 45, and Bruce Martin, who had made 17, will resume their promising 32-run partnership on day four.

McCullum, one of the best exponents of aggressive batting in test cricket, would have been looking to up the tempo in the final session and give his bowlers another crack at the England batsmen sooner rather than later.

With the entire first day having been washed out but the pitch still a good batting surface, the hosts probably need some time to try and bowl out the much vaunted England lineup for a second time.

NEW BALL SUCCESS

Rutherford became the ninth New Zealander to score a century on debut before England’s bowlers wrested back some of the advantage they had ceded with five wickets falling in the second session.

The lefthander added just four runs to his lunch score of 167 when he popped a catch to substitute fielder Chris Woakes off James Anderson with the first delivery of the second new ball.

The 23-year-old, who had a double century well within his sights, cut a disconsolate figure as he trudged off, only acknowledging the standing ovation from the crowd on his home ground as he approached the boundary rope.

“To be fair you get picked to score runs and that’s the job you do, so while it’s great to get the first ton, just a raise of the bat,” Rutherford said in a televised interview of his undemonstrative acknowledgement after he was dismissed.

“To get out first ball with the new ball was very disappointing, I wanted to bat another half an hour after lunch and go from there.

“I don’t like getting out (but) …it was nice to get it here at my home ground. I do know what the surface is doing, the surrounds and the crowd too.”

Mathew Sinclair’s 214 against West Indies in 1999 is the highest score by a New Zealand batsman on debut.

Swing bowler Anderson (4-108) was the pick of England’s bowlers. After dismissing Rutherford he had the opportunity for a double strike in the same over when Dean Brownlie was dropped at third slip by Joe Root.

Anderson was incensed by the missed opportunity but still managed to dismiss Ross Taylor for 31 and Brownlie for 27 before Stuart Broad bowled BJ Watling (nought) and Tim Southee (25) to drag their side back into the match.

Peter Fulton (55) and Kane Williamson (24), the last New Zealand player to score a century on debut, were the only wickets to fall in the morning session.

Virender Sehwag could have been given chance in Mohali Test, feels Sunil Gavaskar #IndvsAus

Virender Sehwag could have been given chance in Mohali Test, feels Sunil GavaskarFormer India skipper Sunil Gavaskar feels that Virender Sehwag could have been given another chance keeping in mind the batting-friendly pitch in Mohali, which will host the third Test against Australia from March 14. “The ball comes onto the bat nicely in Mohali and Sehwag likes to bat on such surfaces. So, I think he could have been given a chance in Mohali for the third Test,” Gavsakar said on Thursday.

Gavaskar is of the opinion that the out-of-form Sehwag would stage a comeback. “I don’t think this is the end of the road for him. He has got a 100 at the start of the season against England, scored a couple of 50′s. I think it’s just the perception, the way he goes about his cricket. “I don’t think he is totally out of form,” Gavaskar told ‘NDTV’.

Further defending Sehwag, the former great said the Delhi player was not “totally” out of form and was not throwing his wicket away. “I don’t think he is totally out of form. He is getting out to terrific deliveries. He got out to a beauty in Hyderabad while in Chennai, the extra pace got the better of him.” Asked if Sehwag could be slotted in the middle-order in future, Gavaskar said, “With his experience, he would be useful batting at number 5-6, especially in countering the second new ball.”

However, former Australia batsman, Dean Jones felt it would be difficult for Sehwag to make a comeback. “It’s going to be difficult for him to make a comeback. I am starting to worry for him now and, with the South Africa series coming up, it’s not going to be easy.” Sehwag had failed to fire in five consecutive Tests after getting a hundred in the opening game of the home series against England at Ahmedabad in November-December last year.

He was unable to score even a half-century in two home Tests against New Zealand. During India’s last overseas tour, in Australia, Sehwag scored just 198 runs in eight innings.

1st Test : Sri Lanka wins toss, opts to bat vs Bangladesh – Galle 2013 #BanvsSL

Posted: 07 Mar 2013 08:26 PM PST

Toss: Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to bat

Mathews: ‘It looks like a typical Galle wicket. We would like to put the runs on the board first. We’re missing Mahela and Thilan but Kithruwan will be making his debut.’

Mushfiqur: ‘We need to put pressure on them by picking up early wickets. The wicket might assist seamers early on. unfortunately, Tamim misses out. He needs some time to recover.’

Pitch report: The wicket is hard with an even covering of grass. There was a bit of rain around and there could be some moisture around. The pitch should assist spin later in the game.

Teams
Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Tillakaratne Dilshan, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kumar Sangakkara, Lahiru Thirimanne, Kithuruwan Vithanage, Angelo Mathews(c), Dinesh Chandimal(w), Nuwan Kulasekara, Rangana Herath, Shaminda Eranga, Ajantha Mendis

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Anamul Haque, Jahurul Islam, Mohammad Ashraful, Mahmudullah, Mushfiqur Rahim(w/c), Nasir Hossain, Mominul Haque, Abul Hasan, Sohag Gazi, Elias Sunny, Shahadat Hossain

Kithuruwan Vithanage will be making his debut for Sri Lanka. Tamim Iqbal will not be playing for Bangladesh. That’s surprising.
