Injured Mathews is Doubtful to Continue as Bowler in Future

March 24th, 2012

Sri Lanka’s all-rounder Angelo Mathews who is currently prone to calf injury seems to be having doubtful future as bowler at international level. He is also being rested for the upcoming England test.

Details provided by Ashantha de Mel, Sri Lanka’s chief selector mentions that, Mathew faces a potential future as a specialist batsman will come as a shock for the side that has only couple of days left to regroup ahead of the Galle Test after rushing back home from Asia Cup in Bangladesh.

Mathews also failed the fitness test that was held in Friday Morning. This injury also kept him out from the Asia Cup and the finals of Commonwealth Bank Tri-series. To replace Mathews, middle-order batsman Chamara Silva is being included in the squad. Silva made a significant century against England for the Sri Lanka Development XI against England this week.

De Mel said, “I don’t think we can use Mathews as an all-rounder in the future. Mathews has some problems with his legs and it is very unlikely he will bowl much.  We have to look at him purely as a batsman.”

De Mel also stated that Tharanga Paranavitana and Lahiru Thirimanne will be contesting to be a right partner with Tillakaratne Dilshan at the top order batsman. Also there will be a contest among Suranga Lakmal and Dhammika Prasad for the addition in fast bowling and partnering Chanaka Welegedera.

On fixing up the No 7 batsman position, De Mel said, “The team management will have to take a call on who should bat at no.7. It is between wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayewardene and Dinesh Chandimal, who has not kept wickets from some time.”

Bodi and Maxwell Picked for Delhi Daredevils Team

March 21st, 2012

Victoria All-rounder Glenn Maxwell and South Africa batsman Gulam Bodi are being picked up by Delhi Daredevils for upcoming IPL season starting next month replacing Colin Ingram and Travis Birt.

Glenn Maxwell, 23, has played 14 A list games with the average of 25.44 and has picked nine wickets at 37.55 in the format. He also holds the record for the fastest half-century, off 17 balls in List A cricket match in Australia. He has also fared better in T20 format games.
Daredevils team mentor, TA Sekar said in the press release, “When Ashish Kapoor, (Daredevils Team Manager) and I watched Glenn in the Emerging Players Tournament in Australia in July last, we saw him as a player with immense potential who loves being in the contest. When we watched him bat, we were reminded of how we had spotted David Warner in 2008. We believe Glenn will play for Australia soon.”

Sekar also said, “Besides being a dashing batsman, Glenn is a solid off spinner and an amazing fielder, with infectious enthusiasm. A multi skilled player like him will add more immense value to this side.”

Bodi, 33, a South African player made his debut in the year 1996-97 and has played two ODIs and a T20 for the country. Since his debut, Bodi played 131 List A matches with the average of 32.40. He also has 64 T20s under his cap with the average of 29.29 with the highest of 98 not out. According to Sekar, Bodi will remain as middle-order batsman.
Sekar said in the release, “Gulam was the best available replacement given that we had to find someone with Birt’s base price. Just other day he made a brilliant 90 runs off 51 balls with seven fours and five sixes for Lions against Warriors in T20 challenge in South Africa.”

India will play England in the first ODI

October 11th, 2011

India will play England in the first of the five ODIs on October 14, to be played at Hyderabad. The two teams are coming off another series in England, in which the Indians were totally swamped by the opponents and will look to take revenge.

India lost all their four Test matches, three ODIs and the one-off T20I to England and will look to come hard at their opponents. However, it will be interesting to see whether they can dole out the same dose at the English side at home – especially given that at the start of the season, the pitches will be much in favour of the Indian slow bowlers.

What could affect the Indian bowling is that they will need to use two new balls and that will not only reduce the chances of a slow bowler but also that of early reverse swing.

On the other hand, England will hope to get going with experienced Kevin Pietersen set to prove the selectors’ decision to drop him from the ODIs wrong.
