Bangladesh level series with tight win

Bangladesh scampered to a series-levelling win against Sri Lanka in the third and final ODI, in Pallekele, winning by three wickets in a rain-hit encounter. They were helped along by Nasir Hossain's composed 33 off 27 balls late in the chase, the visitors showing nerves as they neared the victory - their first in 15 completed games against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka.

Overall it was a fine occasion for the visitors, who had left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak becoming the first Bangladesh bowler to

Ryder beaten into coma

Troubled New Zealand cricketer Jesse Ryder was in a critical condition in hospital on Thursday after an “extremely vicious” attack as he left a bar in Christchurch, police said.
The 28-year-old was in an induced coma with a fractured skull and serious internal injuries, and his family were at his bedside.
The attack in the South Island city came just days before the talented batsman was to take up a lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) contract.
Ryder has a history of disciplinary lapses and alcohol-related incidents, but although he had been drinking before the early morning assault, police said alcohol was not a factor.

Our biggest away win, says Mushfiqur

Bangladesh’s Nasir Hossain plucks the ball out of thin air to dismiss Sri Lanka opener Tillakaratne Dilshan. He also scored an unbeaten, match-winning 33.

Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim did not hesitate to term their three-wicket victory against Sri Lanka yesterday as their biggest one-day success abroad.

De Villiers spl takes S Africa to series win

AB de Villiers racked up his third half-century of the series, in which he also scored a hundred, to guide South Africa to victory in their chase in Benoni with six overs to spare, sealing a 3-2 win for the hosts. De Villiers put in his best all-round performance in the decider, as he manned his chargers well and anchored the chase, albeit a modest one, reports Cricinfo.
 

         South Africa closed out the series largely due to Pakistan’s inability to do the same, rather than being dominant.

SL players out of Chennai matches

The IPL 2013 matches in Chennai will not feature any Sri Lankan cricketers or match officials, the league’s governing council said after a meeting on Tuesday. It said the decision was taken keeping in mind security concerns in Chennai.
 

“The security of all involved in the IPL, whether players, spectators or those working in the stadiums, is of paramount importance

Tigers reach Kandy

With hopes of squaring the one-day international series, the Bangladesh cricket team reached Kandy yesterday to play the third and final game on March 28.
The must-win encounter is what the players’ focus is on, but in a bid to take their minds off it for a moment, the national team reached Kandy after a picturesque helicopter ride. The journey which allowed the visitors to witness some of the most

2nd ODI washed out Ban vs Sri

It seemed that Bangladesh’s month-long tour of Sri Lanka would witness a rare happening, but tradition continued as rain ruled out the second ODI at the Mahinda Rajapaksa Stadium yesterday. One can’t imagine the passage of a cricket series in Sri Lanka without any sort of rain interruption, but for a while it seemed that there would be a break in that tradition as rain did not play any part in the two Tests in Galle and Colombo and the first ODI played here on Saturday. Rains were predicted before the first Test at Galle and it did start raining

Another from Fulton

Black Caps opener Peter Fulton celebrated his recall from the cricket scrapheap on Monday by becoming only the fourth New Zealander to score back-to-back centuries in a Test.
The at times ungainly opener belted the prime of English bowling to all corners of the ground in a rollicking second innings 110 to give New Zealand a stranglehold on the third and deciding Test in the series.
At stumps on Monday, with one day to play, England were fighting for survival at 90 for four with a target of 481 to win.
Fulton, who toiled hard to resurrect New Zealand’s second innings after they were three down for eight, brought up his boundary-laden 110 in 165 balls.

Boult, Southee put NZ in command

AUCKLAND, Mar 24: A fine display of swing bowling from Trent Boult may have struck the decisive blow for New Zealand in an encounter against England full of twists and turns, reports Cricinfo.
Boult, the left-arm fast-medium bowler, claimed 6 for 68 - his first five-wicket haul in Test cricket - as England were dismissed for 204 in their first innings. That gave New Zealand a first innings lead of 239 but, eschewing the chance to enforce the follow-on, they extended their lead to 274 before stumps.
Those second innings runs came at quite a cost, though. New Zealand, perhaps suffering from acrophobia as they realised the dominance of their position, stumbled to 8 for 3

Do or die match for Bangladesh

The day night match starts at 3 pm (BST).
The second ODI match has become a do or die match for Bangladesh as the hosts already took 1-0 lead beating touring Bangladesh by eight wickets in the first ODI at the same venue. Bangladesh must have to win the second ODI to save the series.

Shakib hopes to be back for Zim tour

Ace all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan spent the morning of his 26th birthday yesterday in the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s National Cricket Academy strictly adhering to his rehabilitation process.
After an hour-long gym session, the left-hander spoke to the media for the first time since last month’s operation in Sydney.
“I am working hard under the academy trainer (Stuart Karppinen). I hope to be fit before the series against Zimbabwe in April,” said Shakib. “As per the guidelines of the trainer, I began running yesterday and did not face any trouble. I still have not started bowling or batting,

Mountain to climb for injured Tigers

When Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim trudged back to the dressing room after attending the presentation ceremony on Saturday night at the Mahinda Rajapaksa Stadium, the little man looked like the unhappiest man in the world. It was not only the comprehensive eight-wicket defeat in the first ODI that brought about the forlorn look, but also the fact that his team needs to pull of a surprise to save the series today as one of his key weapons –Tamim Iqbal — has been ruled out of the series due to a fractured right thumb.
When Bangladesh face Sri Lanka for the second of three ODIs at the same venue, Mushfiqur will face possibly his biggest challenge as captain because the team have never faced such a problem with injuries.

India clinched the Border-Gavaskar trophy with a 4-0 series

The final day of the series, in Delhi, resembled one of those when a crazy colourful storm from Rajasthan visits the capital. While the storm is there, it is all encompassing, and promises apocalypse. Soon, though, it blows over, and you can't tell it had been there. For about the first 200 minutes of the day, it was mayhem: spiteful spin, altercations, posturing, surprises, send-offs and some statesmanship. Twelve wickets fell for 170 runs, Nathan Lyon and Ravindra Jadeja registered their personal

Tamim out of ODIs

Bangladesh’s walking wounded grew with the news that dashing opener Tamim Iqbal has been ruled out of the remaining two one-dayers against Sri Lanka after suffering a hairline fracture on his right thumb.The injury occurred while he was fielding at point in the eighth over of the first one-dayer in Hambantota on Saturday.

Tamim (112), who hit his country's first one-day century against Sri Lanka, went to hospital for an X-ray afterwards and was told he had a hairline fracture.

Mushfiqur double-ton takes Bangladesh to record total

              The records stacked up and so did the individual milestones. After the captain Mushfiqur Rahim became the first Bangladesh batsman to score a double-century, Nasir Hossain brought up his maiden century to help Bangladesh pass their previous highest Test score of 556, ending with 638. Bangladesh finished with a lead of 68, also taking a psychological advantage against tired Sri Lankan outfit unaccustomed to spending so much time in the field in their favourite home venue. With four sessions left in the Test, Sri Lanka saw through the first comfortably, losing just one wicket and leading by 48.

      
               It was the first instance of three or more Bangladesh batsmen scoring centuries in an innings. Mohammad Ashraful fell ten short of a double century, showing remarkable composure
