In 2013Spinner Clive Rose struck a six off the first ball of Ryan Harris' over as Tasmania overhauled Queensland's total of 9-241 and continued their recent revival.Tasmania lost their opening two matches of the tournament, but Rose smacked 26 runs from nine balls on Tuesday to make it three wins on the trot. ~ but – those successes do not end up success stories in the end !!
Murali Vijay hit a
stylish century on Saturday to strengthen his bid to open the batting in the
first Test against Australia, after India's bowlers struggled against a young
and inexperienced Cricket Australia XI during a four-day warm-up match at the
Sydney Cricket Ground. The stylish Opener, who was dropped following a pair in
the second Test against England this year, opened the batting for India in the
second innings as a nasty ligament injury on Friday ruled out Prithvi Shaw. The
34-year-old smacked an entertaining 129, including 16 fours and five sixes, but
there was one over which particularly stood out in Vijay's brilliant knock. The
right-hander slammed two sixes and three boundaries in Jake Carder's over that
went for 26 runs as Vijay went from 74 to 100 in the 39th over of India's
second innings.
India now move to
Adelaide for the 1st Test starting Dec 6, 2018.Adelaideis the capital city of South Australia and the fifth-largest city in
Australia. Adelaide is a coastal city situated on the eastern shores of Gulf St
Vincent.Port Adelaide is a suburb of
Adelaide lying about 14 kilometres northwest of the City of Adelaide. It lies
within the City of Port Adelaide Enfield and is the main port for the city of
Adelaide.The city was founded in 1836
and was planned as the capital for British province in Australia; namedafter Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen.Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen (Adelaide
Amelia Louise Theresa Caroline; 1792 –1849) was the queen consort of the United Kingdom and of Hanover as
spouse of William IV of the United Kingdom.
At Adelaide starts the
Border–Gavaskar Trophy, Test cricket series,
played between India and Australia. It is named so, after India's Sunil Gavaskar
and Australia's Allan Border both of whom scored over 10,000 Test runs in their career
and captained their respective teams and were the original world record holders
for most runs scored in Test match cricket. The first Border–Gavaskar Trophy
series was played in India the 1996–97 season and was won by the hosts 1–0. In news that will surely be music to the ears
of the fast bowlers, Adelaide curator Damien Hough has promised a lush green
pitch for the first Test between India and Australia which starts on Thursday.
It is a day to
remember in Bangladesh Cricket – before Mirpur, they have never enforced a
follow-on.At Mirpur the scorecard reads
:, Bangladesh 508 (Mahmudullah 136,
Shakib 80) beat West Indies 111 (Mehidy 7-58, Shakib 3-27) and 213 (Hetmyer 93,
Mehidy 5-59) by an innings and 184 runs. Nearly five months after being beaten
2-0 in a pace-dominated series in the West Indies, Bangladesh served up revenge
on a spinning platter to the same opponents with an innings-and-184-run win in
the Dhaka Test to complete a 2-0 series win. The victory was their first
innings win in Test cricket. Mehidy Hasan Miraz underscored the supremacy of
spinners with his match figures of 12 for 117, surpassing his own record for
the best bowling figures for Bangladesh. Mehidy took nine wickets on the third
day, the most by a Bangladesh bowler on a single day, and all 40 West Indies
wickets fell to the Bangladesh spinners, a first for a bowling side in a
two-Test series.
Back home, BCCI
announced that it has a zero-tolerance policy for age fraud in sport and has
taken strict action against cricketers found guilty of manipulating their date
of birth certificates while registering for BCCI tournaments. The BCCI has
succeeded in the arbitration proceedings initiated against it by the Pakistan
Cricket Board (“PCB”) before the Dispute Resolution Committee of the
International Cricket Council (“ICC”). The Dispute Panel constituted by the
ICC’s Dispute Resolution Committee for hearing and deciding the dispute
comprising Mr. Michael Beloff QC (Chairperson), Mr. Jan Paulsson and Ms.
Annabelle Bennett issued and published their arbitral award earlier today
dismissing all claims made by the PCB against the BCCI. The arbitration
proceedings arose out of a claim for damages in the amount of US$ 62,868,070
(plus interest and costs) made by PCB against the BCCI for an alleged breach of
a letter dated 9th April 2014 from BCCI to the PCB (the “BCCI Letter”) inter
alia with regard to 2014 and 2015 tours to Pakistan which did not take place.
Not a great Ranji
season for Tamil Nadu.Bengal recorded
their first win of the season; the margin - by one-wicket in the second session
of a nervy final day when the ball was "shooting up and scooting
low". Manoj Tiwary, the Bengal captain, had called this dry turner a
"result wicket" even before a ball had been bowled in the match. Under
these circumstances, Abhishek Raman's 98 in the first innings when no other
Bengal batsman scored more than 19 was absolute gold, even though it was not
enough for his team to snatch a first-innings lead. Perhaps equally important,
if not more, was a free-stroking 58-ball 53 that set the tone for Bengal's
chase of 216. The middle imploded but two other saviours in Sudip Chatterjeeand
Pradipta Pramanik, who made 40 and 25 not out respectively starred in the tense chase. Raman moved to West Bengal
from Delhi as a 13-year old and lived in Bangaon, 5 km from the Bangladesh
border, and enrolled in a Bengali medium school. He lived with his coach
Nirmalya Sengupta, who convinced Raman's father, a civil engineer, that his son
had a future in cricket if he started early.
Clive Rose written
in first para, is a left-arm orthodox
spinner who has worked his way up the rungs of junior level cricket in Victoria
to make the Australia Under-19 squad for the World Cup in 2008. Rose's
favourite cricketer is Wasim Akram. Here is something interesting written by
himin : www.playersvoice.com.au - dropping a
catch is the worst feeling, especially when the bowler is the captain; he’s on a hat-trick - and the batsman finishes
with a triple century. Cricket is a cruel game sometimes!
I was 14, playing
third grade at my local club, the mighty Oakleigh Cavaliers. The captain, a
legend of a bloke, took two in two and was on the verge of his first-ever
hat-trick. I was brought into a catching position at mid-wicket. He trundled
in, tried to produce a yorker but missed his length and delivered a knee-high
full toss. The batter tried to fend it away, but it hit high on the bat and
lobbed towards me. It was a really simple chance but I thought it was coming
faster than it was. I snatched at it and put down one of the easiest catches
you could ever see. I was devastated. The disappointment was compounded many
times over as the batter smashed our attack for the rest of the innings and
finished with 300 off not many more than 100 balls. What’s more, I had him
stumped three or four times, but our ‘keeper missed all of them. It was classic
club cricket.
Interesting !
