New Zealand Dunedin Announces Squad for Test

New Zealand Dunedin Announces Squad for Test: New Zealand have picked a 13-man squad to face Pakistan in the first Test at Dunedin which begins on the 24th of this month. The New Zealand team is bolstered with the re-entry of Shane Bond who gets to play Test Cricket after a gap of two years!

The hosts are unlucky to miss one of their key players in Jesse Ryder who is still recovering from an abductor strain which he picked up during his stint in the IPL. Ryder’s place has gone to Peter Fulton who has a mediocre average of under 25.00 and just a fifty in the 8 Tests so far in his career. It could be a toss up between Fulton and Tim McIntosh in the end. McIntosh is fresh from a century against Pakistanis at Queensland which could give him the nod ahead of Fulton.

Apart from Bond, medium pacer Daryl Tuffey makes a comeback in the Test team after similar adventures in the rebel Indian Cricket League. Most likely Tuffey could sit out with New Zealand already having Chris Martin and Iain O’Brien in the ranks to partner with Bond.

New Zealand Squad for first Test at Dunedin : Daniel Vettori (Captain), Tim McIntosh, Daniel Flynn, Ross Taylor, Peter Fulton, Martin Guptill, Grant Elliott, Brendon McCullum (wk), Iain O’Brien, Shane Bond, Jeetan Patel, Daryl Tuffey, Chris Martin

New Zeeland Win 64 Runs

ABU DHABI: New Zealand beat Pakistan by 64 runs in the second one day cricket international at Abu Dhabi Stadium on Friday, tieing the series going into the third and final match.
Powered by a brilliant century by opener Brendon McCullum New Zealand posted 8-303 and then restricted Pakistan to 239 as they bounced back from a 138-run defeat in the first one-day international.

The 27-year-old right-handed batsman scored 131 for his second one-day hundred and added 126 for the second wicket with Martin Guptill (62) after New Zealand won the toss.

New Zealand had McCullum to thank for repairing the innings after Aaron Redmond fell in the sixth over for six, caught off paceman Mohammad Aamir.

Stripped of vice-captaincy to allow him to concentrate on batting form last month, McCullum steadied the innings, driving and cutting with authority during his 129-ball knock. He hit 14 boundaries and three sixes.

Pakistan started solidly but a three wicket burst from Scott Styris and two wickets each to captain Daniel Vettori and Kyle Mills slowed their momentum.

Although Shoaib Malik (26) and Abdul Razzaq (35) resisted, it was too little too late and they were all out in the 48th over.

McCullum was named man of the match.

India FM For Indo-Pak Cricket Series in the U.S

KOLKATA: Union Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor Sunday suggested that cricket series between the archrivals – India and Pakistan – could be organised in a neutral venue like the USA.

Pointing out the USA has many cricket enthusiasts, Tharoor, who had his education in that country, hoped that the Indo-Pak cricket series would well be appreciated by the public United States.

“We have a large patriotic population of both Indians and Pakistanis in the USA and a handful of cricket enthusiasts as well. That’s a very, very good way to organise cricket in third countries while terror strikes have stopped cricket between the two countries,” Tharoor said.

“It will be terrific to see a baseball stadium in the USA crowded for a cricket match, though the stadium will be small by cricket standards,” he added.

David Shepherd Umpire Dead

Latest News Updated, David Shepherd Umpire Dead: Former umpire David Shepherd has died after a long battle with cancer, at the age of 68. Shepherd, who was born in Devon, officiated in 92 Tests and 172 one-day internationals, including three World Cup finals before retiring in 2005.

He was famous for his aversion to the ‘Nelson’ – scores with a multiple of 111 – which made him hop at the crease between deliveries.

He played for Gloucestershire, from 1965-79, hitting 10,672 runs.

He was appointed as a first-class umpire in 1981 and was swiftly elevated through the ranks, making his Test debut in an Ashes Test four years later.

After his final international match, a one-day game between England and Australia at the Oval, he received a standing ovation from the fans and players .
Dickie Bird, who umpired many matches alongside Shepherd, said his former colleague would be missed.

“I feel very saddened this has happened,” he told Sky Sports.

“He was a fine umpire, we spent many happy hours together. He was a great man and a tremendous man to umpire with. He was a good bloke, he’ll be sadly missed and he was a great friend.”

Gloucestershire chairman John Light paid tribute to Shepherd.

“As an umpire he has always been a familiar and much-loved face, not only here but at cricket grounds around the world,” he said.

“He was friendly, outgoing and straightforward. He believed cricket was a simple game and he took a straightforward approach to it in his cricket and his umpiring.
“He always put a smile on your face.”
