| Fast-returning Amir looks to New Zealand and Australia Posted: SHARJAH (AFP) - Pakistan spearhead Mohammad Amir Monday said he was gaining rhythm with each match and looks forward to next months tour of New Zealand followed by a trip to Australia.The 24-year-old took 2-44 on day two of the third and final Test against the West Indies on a day when Pakistan announced a squad for the two-match Test series in New Zealand.Amir is in the tenth month of his return to international cricket following a five-year ban on spot-fixing, a scandal which almost ended his burgeoning career.The 2010 scandal was broken by an undercover reporter of now defunct British tabloid News of the World in which then Pakistan Test captain Salman Butt arranged deliberate no-balls from Amir and his pace partner Mohammad Asif in the Lords Test against England in return for money.All three players were also jailed by a UK court in 2011. At the time of the ban Amir was regarded as the hottest property at international cricket by legendary Pakistan paceman Imran Khan.Since his return in January this year Amir had played Twenty20 and one-day only, before playing four Tests in England in July-August.Five years is a long period so I am gaining my rhythm and I am looking forward to trips to New Zealand and Australia. I Have been to both countries earlier and pitches there help fast bowlers, Amir told reporters.With the exposure of playing at tracks like in the United Arab Emirates you definitely get a lot of confidence to do well in Australia and New Zealand.After two Tests in New Zealand, Pakistan will play three Tests and five one-day internationals on their trip to Australia.Amir admitted he faced some fitness issues.I did face some problem with fitness which was expected after five yearss absence. It is very tough for fast bowler especially to come after such a long period and be there at once. Outings in New Zealand and Australia and performing there in those condition will give me immense confidence.Amir said resting him in the second Test in Abu Dhabi was justified.I am playing from last one year now and i think fast bowler needs rest and he should be taking rest if there is a chance. Secondly we have bowler sitting at bench and you never know me and Wahab can be injured at any stage.Amir hoped the swing he was famous for will return with each match.You cant reach there in days as you need to keep on performing. I still have a long career ahead of me and I am working hard to get there where I left in 2010.Since my comeback I was playing T20 cricket where bowling is totally different and I was going wide of the crease earlier but now I have minimise it and worked on my arms and its working in my way.  |
| Cremer hits maiden century but Sri Lanka dominate Posted: HARARE (AFP) - Graeme Cremer struck his maiden Test century but the Zimbabwe captains gritty knock could not prevent his side from closing day three of the first Test against Sri Lanka with a heavy deficit.Cremer, who arrived at the crease in Harare with Zimbabwe 139 for six in reply to Sri Lankas 537 and facing the prospect of following on, hit 102 not out to drag the home side to 373 all out.By the close of play on Monday, Sri Lanka had reached five without loss in their second innings to lead by 169.Cremers previous highest score in Test cricket was 43, but he showed his batsmen what was possible with a bit of application as he batted for over four hours.Zimbabwes collapse in the morning had owed more to a series of rash strokes than trying conditions or outstanding bowling.They resumed on a promising 88 for one, but soon saw opener Tino Mawoyo pull a short ball from Suranga Lakmal straight to deep midwicket to depart for 45, and two overs later Hamilton Masakadza prodded forward to edge Lakmal to slip for 33.Sean Williams then picked out the man in the deep with a careless sweep, before Craig Ervine and Malcolm Waller were trapped lbw by Dilruwan Perera.At 139 for six Zimbabwe were in danger of being shot out, but Peter Moors counter-attacking knock changed the momentum of the innings.His two early sixes forced the field back, while Cremer was content to provide dogged support from the other end.I think we bat quite well together because PJ plays some big shots and keeps the scoreboard ticking, and I know that I can block out a maiden if I need to and just get off strike, said Cremer.So that helps me a lot, knowing theres someone on the other end scoring.Moor went on to score a career-best 79 in a 132-run stand with Cremer which only ended when Lahiru Kumara produced a fearsome bouncer that Moor fended to slip.Kumara went on to knock Cremers helmet off his head and rattle the Zimbabwe skipper, who was then fortunate to see a hook shot off Kumara dropped at deep backward square-leg with his score on 58.Cremer went on to add 92 for the eighth wicket with Donald Tiripano as Zimbabwes tail continued to wag, but nearly ran out of partners on 99 when the ninth wicket went down.Zimbabwes final batsman Chris Mpofu managed to hold off Rangana Herath to give Cremer his chance, and the 30-year-old duly went to three figures to cap an impressive feat for a batsman who averaged 10.75 prior to the Test.I hadnt got 50 before in Test cricket and I dont even have a five-for yet, so it was quite special, said Cremer.When I got to 75, I started thinking, Theres a chance here. Then I thought I might run out of partners. It was an awesome feeling to get that one run to get to a hundred.  |
| Steyn warns Australia about red-hot Rabada Posted: PERTH (AFP) - Senior paceman Dale Steyn said Monday his fellow quick Kagiso Rabada would bring a lot of heat to the South African bowling attack in this weeks Test series-opener against Australia in Perth.Steyn, the veteran of the Proteas new-ball attack with 416 wickets in 84 Tests, gave the Australian batsmen a sense of what they will be facing in the first of three Tests starting at the WACA Ground on Thursday.A lot of heat, the 33-year-old told reporters when asked what to expect from Rabada, who is 21.Hes really quick and hes got a great head on his shoulders. Hes always looking to learn and his record (29 wickets at 24.44 from eight Tests) is pretty amazing for such a young guy, especially a bowler.Because you only see bowlers tend to come into their stripes at maybe 26 or 27, especially fast bowlers once theyve learned their trade.Only current Test bowler Vernon Philander (30.98) and former all-rounder Mike Procter (36.93) can claim a better strike rate among South African bowlers than Rabadas current strike of a wicket every 38.93 deliveries.Steyn also had no hesitation in declaring his likely new-ball partner was much faster than he is.It doesnt feel like hes been in this team for a long time but its actually almost three years now so hes learned a lot and hes an incredible talent, Steyn said.I (attribute much of that) to the culture and the environment in this team, I think hes got about 10 years of experience in three years, which is really great.Im excited to see what he can do because in Adelaide the other night he was bowling really quick and he was landing the ball exactly where he wanted to. The guys got a lot of pace.  |
| Recovering Starc declares he's ready for Proteas Posted: PERTH (AFP) - Australias pace spearhead Mitchell Starc said Monday he is ready to play in this weeks Test series-opener against South Africa even though he is still recovering from a nasty leg laceration.Starc has been fighting to be fit to face the Proteas after a gruesome training accident in September resulted in a gash in his left leg that needed 30 stitches.He made his comeback in the domestic Sheffield Shield competition last week, bowling 19 overs and fielding in the slips.Starc insists he will be fit to take on the South Africans in the first Test starting Thursday despite the need to safeguard his bandaged left leg.Clean it every day, put a patch on it and away you go, he told reporters in Perth, adding that he hoped a knee pad would allow him to slide and dive while fielding.Its not bleeding, its healing nicely. Even if it does break open a little bit (more) its not going to play on my mind. My knee is structurally fine.Starcs workloads will be monitored by Cricket Australia medical staff. The WACA ground curator Matt Page has vowed to leave more grass on the strip to try to avoid a repeat of last years attritional high-scoring draw against New Zealand.Starc said he had not forgotten the pretty disappointing unresponsive WACA wicket in last years Test, when David Warner and Ross Taylor both posted double tons.That was the toughest wicket to bowl on. It was so hard and flat and didnt have that pace youd normally see at the WACA, Starc said.I hope its a lot better and shows a little bit of the WACA of old, and hopefully a bit of an extra bounce and pace.Starc looms as an influential player in the three-Test series, having missed out on Australias record 5-0 one-day international series drubbing in South Africa earlier in October.The left-armer has taken 115 wickets at 27.36 in his 28 Tests.  |
| Dawson defies security advice for Bangladesh stint Posted: LONDON (AFP) - England spinner Liam Dawson is ready to return to Bangladesh this week and play for the Rangpur Riders in the Bangladesh Premier League despite security advice warning him to stay away from the Twenty20 tournament.The Hampshire left-armer was a late addition to the Riders squad following his recent return from his role as a member of Englands successful limited-overs tour of the country.England only toured Bangladesh after receiving safety assurances following a deadly terror attack on a Dhaka cafe in July.But Englands Professional Cricketers Association warned its members against playing in the BPL, which runs from November 4 to December 9, because it could not guarantee similar levels of security cover.But with the Bangladesh Cricket Board insisting that BPL players will get the same security as England one-day and Test sides, Dawson was enthused by the prospect of playing alongside Pakistan star Shahid Afridi, a former Hampshire team-mate, at Rangpur.Im really looking forward to joining up with Rangpur Riders, said the 26-year-old in a Hampshire statement.The competition starts in just a few days and Shahid Afridi is in the team too so itll be good to go into the team and know him from his time here at Hampshire.Its going to be a good challenge, theres some very good overseas players in the competition, so itll be hard work from a cricket point of view, but I hope I can put in some good performances and do myself proud.  |
| Atherton and Hussain lament England spin, hail Hasan Posted: LONDON (AFP) - Former captains Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain said Englands spinners had been shown up by Mehedi Hasan after the teenager bowled Bangladesh to their first Test match win.The 19-year-old off-spinner took six for 77 -- his third six-wicket return in four innings -- as Bangladesh beat England by 108 runs in Dhaka on Sunday to square the two-match campaign at 1-1.When Hasan ended the match by having last man Steven Finn lbw for a duck it meant England, 100 without loss at tea on the third day, had collapsed to 164 all out.It says everything about the dearth of good slow bowlers in England that the four they have chosen in this two-Test series have all been comprehensively out-bowled by a 19-year-old newcomer, said Hussain in his Daily Mail column.Mehedi Hasan had never played Test cricket before Chittagong (the first Test) but he took 19 wickets in the series and looked on a different level to Englands spinners, whether it was a 39-year-old in Gareth Batty or a debutant in Zafar Ansari.Hussain added: It is a sad indictment of where we are and the England captain is left scratching his head in the field because he is getting neither control nor wicket-taking potential from his slow bowlers... Young Hasan showed England how to do it.Atherton, writing in The Times, also used Hasans form as a means of criticising the tourists specialist slow bowlers.His excellence put the dismal efforts of Englands spinners, who only bowled eight maidens in the match, into focus, said Atherton. He was particularly devastating against the left-handers who dominated the top order, 13 of his 19 wickets came from their ranks, albeit in conditions that were designed to exploit a traditional English weakness.  |
| Police greeted KP CM's convoy with tear gas at Burhan Interchange Posted: BURHAN (Dunya News) – Police have greeted the motorcade of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister (CM), Pervez Khattak and activists of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on reaching the Burhan Interchange at the Motorway on late Monday night, Dunya News reported.The long motorcade of CM Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is also equipped with crane and bulldozers which are being used to clear their way as Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government in the centre has placed dozens of shipping containers on roads to block their entry into Islamabad to join their leader Imran Khan who has announced to stage a protest rally on Wednesday (November 2).Police clashed with PTI workers when they tried to remove barricades put in place by police at the Burhan Interchange. The area gave a look of a battle field when police subjected the PTI activists to shelling of tear gas. Angry PTI workers set bushes on fire on either side of the Motorway in protest.Earlier in the day, the law enforcers subjected the convoy of CM Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and activists of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to shelling of tear gas as they attempted to enter Punjab at Swabi Interchange on the motorway to reach Islamabad for November 2 protest.Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for Information, Mushtaq Ghani talked to Dunya News minutes into the clash and reported that the police had fired dozens of shells not discriminating among children and women.He asserted that the federal government would have to explain the alleged torture on peaceful protesters.It should be noted here that Chief Minister (CM) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pervez Khattak was part of the flock of party enthusiasts that was ‘attacked’.Indiscriminate and heavy tear gas shelling has injured more than two dozen PTI workers who have been shifted to the nearby hospitals.The clashes took place two days ahead of PTI’s purported lockdown of the federal capital against premier Nawaz Sharif’s alleged corruption, an issue raised by PTI among other opposition parties after Panama Papers published details of offshore companies owned by Prime Minister’s (PM) two sons.Activists of PTI, following call of their leader Imran Khan, began to reach Islamabad and Bani Gala as the protest day neared.Different protesters-police clashes were reported last week and over the weekend in Bani Gala where police and Frontier Corps (FC) are continuing to cordon off Imran Khan’s residence.  |
