Feed Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Injured Finn out of second Test Steven Finn is ruled out of Friday's second Test against India because of a thigh injury. More...
Crookbond Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 Finn ruled out of second Test Steven Finn has been ruled of the second Test against India in Mumbai after aggravating the thigh injury he suffered early in the tour. Finn was injured during England's first warm-up match of the trip and bowled just four overs. He will now undergo a further scan in Mumbai on Wednesday to determine the extent of the problem. Andy Flower, the England team director, said: "Steven has been working hard to get back to full fitness. He has unfortunately hurt his leg again, a couple of days ago, and is having another scan tomorrow. "We don't think he's got any structural damage, but it would be careless to suggest that he might play the second Test." However, Flower remained hopeful Finn could still play a part in the series and suggested they may use the Performance Squad, which arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday, to help in his recovery. "They've got a three-day game starting on the 27th," Flower said. "If he's ready for that, which is the last day of the second Test, we'll put him through his paces. If he comes through that well, he'll be available for the third and fourth Tests. "That extra pace would certainly assist us. But that's not to be, so let's hope he gets fit and ready for that third Test. I've got an open mind about it. Let's see what his scan reveals tomorrow. We hope he goes and plays that three-day game, and comes through well." Finn had been tipped to be recalled for the second Test to bring a cutting edge to England's pace attack which struggled to make an impression in the opening Test in Ahmedabad. James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan managed just one wicket between them and were considerably out-bowled by India's Zaheer Khan and Umesh Yadav. There is still a strong chance that England will make changes to their bowling attack with Monty Panesar tipped for a call-up. "We'll assess conditions tomorrow, when we're down at the ground for training," Flower said. "It would be naive, or silly, to prejudge them without actually having seen the pitch. "But it might be fairly obvious that it might turn a little - which is good, because I'd like our guys to test themselves against the turning ball again here in Mumbai. Monty Panesar, of course, has a chance to play. "We might well go with two spinners, but we'll judge that when we actually see the conditions. Of course these are challenging times for selectors, coaches, players. That's why we're here, because we like putting ourselves in those positions. If we didn't like to make those sorts of decisions; if we didn't like being in an arena where you're tested, and you're judged, then we wouldn't be here." There will be an enforced change in the batting after Ian Bell flew home for the birth of his first son, Joseph William, but he did not make it home in time for the delivery. http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-england-2012/content/current/story/592159.html
Crookbond Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 CCI to honour Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday http://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/cci-to-honour-sachin-tendulkar-on-thursday/article4119214.ece The Cricket Club of India is to honour senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar as part of celebrating its 75th anniversary at its famous Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday. Cricket Board president N. Srinivasan will be the chief guest as CCI honours the “First Citizen of the World of Cricket”, a media release said. Visiting England team captain Alastair Cook, team director Andy Flower and batting coach Graham Gooch, among others, will be present on the occasion, the release added. Tendulkar has fond memories of the club, which changed its rules to allow the then 14-year-old cricketer to use its dressing room when he featured in local cricket tournaments in the late 1980s. CCI is one of the members affiliated to the BCCI but does not take part in the Ranji Trophy national tournament. The Brabourne Stadium was regular Test venue in this metropolis before all the international cricket matches were shifted to the nearby Wankhede Stadium in the mid-1970s, following a long-standing seat-sharing dispute between the club and the Mumbai Cricket Association. When Wankhede was undergoing renovation before the 2011 World Cup and was unavailable to host matches, Test cricket returned to the Brabourne, albeit for just one game, when India played against Sri Lanka in December, 2009.

SLICKR392 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Mistake to leave out Panesar, admits Flower Andy Flower admitted to have erred by not picking Monty Panesar, the left-arm spinner, for the first Test against India in Ahmedabad. England lost the Test by nine wickets after conceding a first innings lead of 330. Flower conceded that he misread the Motera pitch to go in with just one specialist spinner in Graeme Swann. Ÿith hindsight, yes, it was a mistake not to play Panesar in Ahmedabad, said Flower to Daily Mail. Ū didnÃÕ expect that pitch to turn as early as it did. In fact, once we saw it turning early in the game I thought it might deteriorate more and I was surprised on day four and five how well it played. I certainly misjudged that pitch.Ǽ/B] Flower also declined to confirm if England would directly bring in Panesar to complement Swann in the second Test starting November 23 in Mumbai. While he conceded that EnglandÃÔ seamers had been out-performed by their Indian counterparts in Ahmedabad, a decision on the team composition would only be taken after a close inspection of the pitch. ŵhere might be a little more bounce in Mumbai, which will help our seamers. Of course we have to bring in a batsman, but on any other changes IÃÅ like to see the pitch first. Then IÃÃl try to make a better judgment than the last one. If it looks as though it will turn a lot, we will contemplate two spinners, said Flower. England will have to make one forced change, by bringing in a middle-order batsman to fill up the position left vacant by Ian BellÃÔ departure. Bell flew back to England after the first Test for the birth of his first child, but is expected to be back in time for the third Test in Kolkata starting December 5. http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/mistake-leave-panesar-admits-flower/36299
namasteji1 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Will Sehwag retire after this series? Because he had said that he wanted to play 100 odd tests and retire! I will make a separate thread for this if i don't get 5 replies because this is really a important issue for discussion. :winky:
someone Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Overconfidence is dangerous. And it's not over just overconfidence here but utter disrespect + delusional thinking. Especially considering England did trash us, you have got to think twice before making big statements. Stupid really and these things usually do come back to hurt more.
Magneto Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 England will either draw or win the 2nd Test. My record on these matters has been impeccable till now. :hatsoff:
