Morne Morkel has recovered from the ankle sprain that kept him from bowling for most of the second innings at the Wanderers and will be considered for selection for the Durban Test. Morkel had a fitness test on Christmas Day and batted in the nets at the team’s optional training session. He is likely to play in the Boxing Day match.”He seems to be okay. I haven’t chatted to the physiotherapist Brandon Jackson again but just briefly chatting to Morne, he seems to be fine so that’s good news for us,” Russell Domingo, South Africa’s coach said.After slipping on the turf and being helped off the field in the over before lunch on the third day of the first Test, Morkel was said to need seven to ten days rest and was given only a 20% chance of playing in the Boxing Day match. Graeme Smith said after the Wanderers Test that the prognosis on Morkel was “not great”, but the South Africa pacer believed he had an 80% chance of playing.Morkel spent the afternoon in a decompression chamber in hospital to bring down the swelling and was padded up to bat on Sunday. He was not needed, and Smith said Morkel could barely stand and would have struggled to take the crease, never mind running between the wickets. On Monday, Morkel had made some progress but there was still concern over whether he would break down mid-Test.By Tuesday, however, the fast bowler was spotted bowling with a heavily strapped ankle and today, took part in training. He moved with ease, stepping out of his crease to hit the ball and walked without any discomfort. He is unlikely to have another fitness Test, and a final call will be taken by team management this evening.Should they decide Morkel will last the full five days, he will be a certain pick after finishing the Johannesburg game as South Africa’s most menacing bowler. Domingo confirmed that if Morkel was fit, there would be no place for either Rory Kleinveldt or Kyle Abbott as South Africa would not consider an all-pace attack and leave JP Duminy to do the slower-bowling duties. “I always like to play the spinner, so it’s highly unlikely we will change the make-up of the team,” Domingo said.What could change is the spinner South Africa use. “We need to think about the spinner a bit more. We probably need somebody to do more of a holding role for us, so Robbie [Robin Peterson] will come into contention but I need to still discuss that with selectors,” Domingo said.Imran Tahir, who briefly called Durban his home ground, was ineffective and expensive at the Wanderers and, with the Indian batsmen able to pick and play him with ease, South Africa may opt for a more conservative spinner, despite the surface they will be playing on.Kingsmead’s pitch could take turn on the final two days and Domingo is expecting a tough encounter on a surface that may be more sub-continental than South Africa would like.”It looks pretty dry, which is probably not what we were expecting,” he said. “It’s going to be a hard Test match. It’s not going to be a short 180 all-out game.”South Africa have lost the last four Tests they’ve played in Durban but Domingo said the record is not haunting their preparation.”It’s my first Test in Durban, so I don’t carry any baggage here. I love this city. I always said if I were to leave PE, I’d live in Durban,” he said. “I know a lot of the players are really looking forward to this. It’s an icon Test for us.”With bright sunshine, warm weather and the news of Morkel’s fitness, Domingo was also not fussed about the way Dale Steyn or Hashim Amla performed in the first Test. Steyn went wicketless in the second innings and Amla was bowled twice while attempting to leave the ball, but Domingo expects them to bounce back strongly.”I was watching Hashim earlier in the nets and I said I know this guy is going to get runs at some stage. He is too good a player not to,” he said. “He has had a great run of form for the last three years. It’s not like he has been in form for two weeks, he has been in form for three years. And Dale, too. He’ll be back. That’s what great players do, they step up. I expect them to put in great performances in the next few days.”

Misbah rues lack of international exposure

by csb10.top Uncategorized

Misbah-ul-Haq, the Faisalabad Wolves captain, has said a lack of international exposure is hurting the development of young cricketers in Pakistan. Pakistan have not hosted an international match since March 2009 after a terrorist attack on Sri Lanka’s team bus in Lahore.”Definitely, it has had a huge effect,” Misbah said in regards to the attack. “When there is international cricket in your country, there is a positive impact on your cricketers. If there is no international cricket, and you don’t get to see players in action, it makes a difference to your own team and to the players currently playing for the national team. When you are playing in your country, the confidence you gain from performing at home helps when you play abroad.”Faisalabad were knocked out of the Champions League after losing their second straight match. The batsmen, apart from Misbah, struggled against international quality bowlers and failed to put up competitive totals, which Misbah attributed to a lack of quality cricket. “I have said it earlier in Pakistan too that exposure and skills will only improve when you play more cricket. The more you play under pressure, the more you will learn to handle it, and you will become an expert at handling situations.”It is unfortunate for Pakistan that there is no such cricket there, which we need to think about quickly,” he said. “Right in front of your eyes, you can see players from all parts of the world come here to play the IPL. There are different leagues in other countries and you can see a tangible difference. You can see that in Indian cricket, young players are mature by the time they come into international cricket. They know how to handle pressure, how to build an innings, how to respond with the ball under pressure.”When asked about the manner in which his team were ousted, with an eight-wicket loss to Otago Volts followed by a seven-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad, Misbah chose to take a pragmatic approach. “When you lose games, you are disappointed but I think it’s a good experience for the team. Most of the guys haven’t played any international event.”By playing in a tournament such as this, they come to know of the demands at the international level. It’s a big ask for them to come straightaway and perform here. Any player who plays at this level needs a little bit more exposure and experience, which we don’t have. They can learn about how to improve, how they are going to perform, how they are going to get ready for this.”There is a mental barrier, when you have not played at the international level. When you play at the highest level, you cross that barrier and break through. Then slowly, you conquer those barriers. The more times you cross the barrier, your ability will improve that much more and you will gain more experience too. You learn from your opportunities. They (the squad) have got three matches here. It will help them in the future, I am sure.”Saeed Ajmal, who is the only other member of the team with significant international experience, has been assisting Misbah in teaching the rest of the squad how to handle the pressures of playing on this kind of stage. “We try to tell them what the demands of international cricket are and how to handle pressure,” Misbah said. “How to prepare yourself for this kind of cricket. Whenever we play, we work hard with them to overcome this. They did that at the domestic level, but this is a different scenario. A different platform for them. “

Jarvis retires from international cricket

Kyle Jarvis, the Zimbabwe fast bowler, has retired from international cricket

Firdose Moonda18-Aug-2013Zimbabwe cricketers who quit the game early

Andy Flower – Was a part of the black armband protest with Olonga and quit after the 2003 World Cup

Stuart Carlisle – Did not return to play for Zimbabwe after the white-player walkout in April 2004.

Kyle Jarvis, the Zimbabwe fast bowler, has retired from international cricket. Jarvis opted out of the upcoming series against Pakistan to take up a county offer and stated he will not return to play cricket in Zimbabwe.Jarvis’ decision is the latest in a string of bad news for Zimbabwe, including Friday’s stand-off with the board over payment issues, and comes a few days before the start of the home series against Pakistan.Jarvis issued a statement which said: “I have held off a few opportunities over the last few months but my decision was made about a week ago when the pay disputes arose and I felt my time to leave had come.”I have retired from international cricket to pursue a county and global T20 career. We have had a few teams interested but me and my agents have agreed on a three-year deal at a top English county.”I really hope the fans and public can understand my reasons for leaving, as job security is the main factor. I informed my team-mates yesterday that I would be leaving and they were supportive and fully understood why I was doing this. I then sat with the managing director and explained my position and we both left on good terms.”Zimbabwe will always be my home, and I would just like to thank everyone for their continued support over the past few years. I wish my team-mates and coaching staff the best of luck for the forthcoming Pakistan series.”Reacting to Jarvis’ decision, David Coltart, Zimbabwe’s minister of education, sports, art and culture, said he was saddened but understood Jarvis’ reasons. “I wish him well. My prayer is that this is not the last we have seen of @KyleJarv89 in red. When we sort out cricket and Zimbabwe, he’ll be back,” Coltart said, through a Twitter post.*Jarvis, 24, took 30 wickets in eight Tests at an average of 31.73 and 27 wickets in 24 ODIs. He also played nine T20Is in which he picked up 10 wickets.After Zimbabwe’s tour to New Zealand in early 2012, Jarvis so impressed the Central Districts management, he was contracted to them for the remainder of the season. He took seven wickets in two Plunket Shield matches and five wickets in eight HRV Cup matches. At the time, there was talk Jarvis was considering staying in New Zealand in order to qualify to play for them, but he returned to Zimbabwe. Lancashire are current favourites to secure Jarvis’ services.Jarvis is not the only player to turn his back on Zimbabwe in recent times. Craig Ervine rejected a winter contract to take up a club cricket deal in the UK while it is understood that Charles Coventry, who has not been contracted to Zimbabwe Cricket, is also considering a career elsewhere.Jarvis’ retirement will further dent Zimbabwe’s preparations for the Pakistan series. With senior seamer Chris Mpofu still unfit, the bowling responsibility will lie with Brian Vitori, who has struggled for form recently, Tendai Chatara, who impressed in West Indies this year but is still inexperienced, and Michael Chinouya, who has played only two ODIs.*0920 GMT, August 20.

Harshal, Kamindu lead SRH to their first win against CSK in Chennai

by n8rngtd.top Uncategorized

Brevis, Mhatre’s contributions were not enough for CSK to avoid their fourth loss at home this season

Sidharth Monga25-Apr-20251:29

Will this win make SRH rethink their approach?

A three-pronged performance from Kamindu Mendis and Harshal Patel’s use of the middle of the pitch led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to win their first-ever match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Chennai, a win SRH will hope revives a faltering campaign.Dewald Brevis, on his CSK debut, and Ayush Mhatre, the youngest CSK player ever in only his second innings, threatened to inject some freshness into a stale CSK campaign, but the 154 they took CSK to was not enough to avoid their fourth loss at home in IPL 2025 even though they did give SRH a scare on the dry pitch.In the kind of slugfest you expect of lowly-placed sides on a tricky surface, the batters overcame the conditions only in small pockets despite heavy dew for considerable duration of the game.Brevis looked every bit the player that earned the nickname ‘Baby AB’, but his threatening innings was cut short on 42 off 25 balls by arguably the catch of this IPL by Kamindu, who had earlier wowed us again with his ambidextrous spin. CSK mounted a spirited defence, but Kamindu calmed SRH with his unbeaten 32 off 22 to see them home.

Clever bowling thwarts early intent

Despite a first-ball wicket for Mohammed Shami, the 17-year-old Mhatre continued to display his quality through good intent and efficient hitting through the off side. He hit six fours in the first four overs to take CSK to 37 for 1, but now SRH began to dig the ball in and started to make both him and Sam Curran hit into the leg side.Harshal was the bowler to kickstart the plan. Mhatre nearly holed out to deep midwicket before Curran actually did so. In the next over, Mhatre drilled Pat Cummins straight into the lap of mid-off. At 50 for 3, CSK edged past only their fourth powerplay of 50 or more in nine games.

Brevis checks in

1:47

Finch: CSK needed a player like Brevis in middle order

Brought in in place of Rachin Ravindra, Brevis immediately looked a notch above the other batters in the match. Even as the placeholder No. 4 Ravindra Jadeja struggled to get any fluency, Brevis took down Kamindu, who had bowled the first two overs for no boundaries and took the wicket of Jadeja. On a dry pitch with enough grip in it, Kamindu made no mistake but Brevis still hit three sixes in his one over, the 12th. He then cut a slower bouncer from Harshal for a six off extra cover.

Kamindu flies, brings down CSK

This is when Brevis looked to hit a second six off Harshal. The ball was in the slot too. He got a good part of it but not quite the elevation. Kamindu, however, was too far in off the long-off fence, so it looked like he would be beaten but he flew to his left, went with two hands at this missile, and came up with the ball in his right hand.After Brevis’ wicket, SRH turned the screws right in. Cummins bowled overs 16 and 18 for no boundary, hitting a Test-match hard length and beating the bat with some away movement. SRH kept chipping at the wickets, including MS Dhoni caressing Harshal to backward point. There was no finishing kick.

CSK mount a spirited defence

If Shami took a wicket first ball, Khaleel Ahmed took one second ball, reaching eight powerplay wickets this IPL, joint-highest along with Mohammed Siraj. Anshul Kamboj, preferred to R Ashwin for this match, then bowled successfully to a difficult plan: a 6-3 off-side field with two mid-offs. He had Travis Head repeatedly playing across the line to straight balls, hitting the pad twice and then the top of off.2:32

Rapid Fire: What will SRH’s biggest learning be?

Ishan Kishan fought his way past 17 for the first time since the hundred in SRH’s first match, but it was an innings that hovered around a run a ball for a long time. Heinrich Klaasen, promoted ahead of Nitish Kumar Reddy who would eventually bat at No. 7, felt obliged to take a risk and got out to Jadeja to make it 54 for 3 in 8.1 overs.With enough in the pitch for them, the CSK spinners continued to stifle Kishan and Aniket Verma. Just when Kishan looked like he could break free, Curran took a special catch at deep midwicket to send him back for 44 off 34. Verma swung a lot, hit two sixes, but became Noor Ahmad’s second wicket for 19 off 19, leaving 49 required in 6.1 overs.

Kamindu, Reddy see SRH home

The two overseas bowlers of CSK, Matheesha Pathirana and Noor, were generous with extras but it was more Kamindu’s assured sweeping that sent signals of calm to the SRH camp. It was actually a credit to the CSK bowling that they took the game so deep because even the changed ball was now wet and flying across the outfield.Kamindu and Reddy didn’t have to do anything fancy in their unbeaten 49-run stand in under five overs. They didn’t try to hit a single six. Extras helped but they also timed the ball well. They got to their first away win of this season with eight balls to spare.

Pleased with team effort – Aguilleira

by csb10.top Uncategorized

West Indies’ captain Merissa Aguilleira was pleased with the all-round effort of her team, and especially the batting, after they routed Sri Lanka by 209 runs in their second match of the Women’s World Cup at the MIG Ground in Mumbai. They were bowled out for 179 in their previous match at the Brabourne Stadium, and three days later, the team put up a total of 368 here.”I must say this is a great example of a team effort,” Aguilleira said. “The batsmen did extremely well leading us upfront. We had a lot of people getting into the act with the bat. After that we followed up with the ball also. I think it was an all-round performance.”The major contribution was Stafanie Taylor’s knock of 171 and she almost carried her bat through the innings. Aguilleira said the team is always confident of putting up a big score when Taylor is in the middle.”We cherish Stafanie because she is such a phenomenal player and whenever she bats we believe that we will be able to get runs. She is very dedicated and we look forward to seeing more such innings from her in the future.”Taylor, who crossed her previous best score of 147, said she wanted to score as many runs as possible and that the thought of scoring 200 had crossed her mind. “My aim was just to go out there and do my best and build an innings with the others. The coach wanted me to score 200 today but unfortunately I was tired. I was trying but I think fatigue got the best of me.”Shashikala Siriwardene, the Sri Lanka Women’s captain, was particularly unhappy with the team’s fielding, as they dropped catches, missed run-outs and gave away many runs in overthrows. “Our fielding let us down very badly. I am very disappointed with it,” she said. “Eighty percent of the singles that they took shouldn’t have been conceded.”Siriwardene had put West Indies in to bat in slightly hazy conditions. But the West Indies batsmen were hardly troubled by the bowlers, who did not get much assistance from the pitch. “At one point I felt that we should have batted first,” she said. “We thought that there was something in the pitch for the bowlers, like the England match. But sometimes we make wrong decisions and we look to improvise.”West Indies struck a total of 34 fours and seven sixes, a majority of them hit by Taylor and Deandra Dottin. Apart from the toss and the fielding, Siriwardene said, one of the main differences in the two teams was the way the West Indies batsmen hit the ball hard. “We all know West Indies players use their power a lot. They can clear the fence at any time. Hopefully we won’t have to face the same problem against India in our next match.”All four teams in Group A have now played two matches, and won one and lost one each, which means net run-rate will come into play. England will now take on West Indies and India will play Sri Lanka on February 5, which will decide which teams proceed to the Super Sixes.

Finch ton helps Renegades thump Stars

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsShane Warne’s night was a train-wreck•Getty Images

The script was written for opening night. It was supposed to be the Warne and Muralitharan show, and the cavalcade of stars in the Melbourne Stars line-up was supposed to prove too strong in the Victorian derby. But no one told Aaron Finch as he stole the show with an audacious century to lead his unfancied Renegades to a comfortable eight-wicket win.Finch, who is the only Renegades player in their entire squad to play in their two victories last season, clobbered an unbeaten 111 from just 65 balls, with 12 fours and four sixes, to run down what appeared to be a competitive total.The star everyone came to see, Shane Warne, had a win at the toss but thereafter his night was a train-wreck. The opposing captain Finch crushed 19 from Warne’s first over, including two enormous sixes. First a slog sweep over midwicket, and then inside-out over cover. The Stars captain later dropped a simple chance offered from Faf du Plessis at midwicket. Warne then returned for a second over only have Ben Rohrer launch him twice into the stands.Rohrer’s cameo was typical of the New South Welshmen. So often underrated and forgotten, he entered with the game still in the balance and compiled a fabulous unbeaten 34 from 20 balls. He was the perfect foil for Finch as the paired mixed brutal power, with perfect placement and exceptional running in their unbroken 75-run stand.Earlier the Stars started brightly after electing to bat. After the early loss of Rob Quiney, Luke Wright and Brad Hodge attacked the eclectic Renegades attack.But at 1 for 74, halfway through the ninth over, a mix-up on a misfield resulted in Hodge being run out by du Plessis. Symbolically, and ironically, the stumps for the BBL feature red LED’s that light up when broken, and the red lights halted the Stars progress.They managed just a run-a-ball over the next four overs against the spin of Aaron O’Brien and Muttiah Muralitharan, before Wright fell for 53 trying to break the shackles with a reverse-sweep. The experience of David Hussey (41) and Cameron White (20) combined to help the Stars to 5 for 167.But in the end Finch made light work of the target as the Renegades ran riot over their more fancied cross-town rivals.

Clarke solution to Warner problem

by csb10.top Uncategorized

Australia captain Michael Clarke’s signing of a contract with the Sydney Thunder for next summer’s BBL may be the solution to an impasse that had left David Warner curiously unsigned at the end of the competition’s primary recruitment window.Clarke officially confirmed his move to the Thunder on Wednesday, and his signature grants the team the big Australian name they crave to sell their team to the public in the lead-up to season two. It was a role that had been taken up by Warner last summer when he captained the Thunder.”Playing for Sydney Thunder is a great opportunity for me to play for a team rooted in Sydney’s western suburbs as well as to support Cricket Australia in building on last year’s Big Bash success,” Clarke said. “I am really excited about playing a part in the Big Bash, particularly as it will be against the other Sydney team.”Not only do I get to play alongside superstar T20 internationals like Chris Gayle and Shahid Afridi but also with a bunch of great young guys just starting to make their mark, many of whom grew up in the west.”However Warner is understood to be keen to move across town to the Sydney Sixers for 2012-13, and had begun discussing terms with the team that lifted the inaugural BBL trophy.This is believed to have led to an untidy round of discussions between Warner, the Sixers, the Thunder and Cricket Australia, as the opening batsman’s personal preference was weighed up against his value as the face of the Thunder and its desired market in Sydney’s west.Apart from winning the BBL last summer, the Sixers cultivated a happy team environment around the SCG under the coaching of Trevor Bayliss and the wider management of Stuart Clark.By contrast, the Thunder battled for strong results and faced difficulties surrounding their home base at Sydney’s Olympic Stadium, with transport believed to be one of several issues for players.Warner, meanwhile, had also changed management since the summer, moving across from Peter Lovitt’s Driver Avenue Group to Tony Conolly’s Entourage Management, which handles the business of the Test vice-captain Shane Watson.As current members of Australia Test team, Warner and Clarke are unlikely to play more than one BBL game, the season-opening ‘derby’ between the Sixers and the Thunder at the SCG, but their presence in competition marketing and advertising is considered critical to drawing crowds to the games.Clarke’s presence at the Thunder allows the team a major Australian name on which to hang its colours, alongside the high-profile overseas imports, Gayle and Afridi. It also allows Clarke to be more firmly engaged with the western suburbs in which he grew up.Last summer Clarke chose not to take part in the BBL and concentrated his energies on making a strong start to his Test captaincy of Australia, leading the team to a 4-0 hiding of India in the series played opposite the Twenty20 competition. However he warmed to T20 later in the year, accepting Sourav Ganguly’s lucrative offer to play for Pune in the IPL.This short stint signalled Clarke’s interest in making a T20 nest for himself that may extend beyond the end of his international playing career, as it has done for the likes of Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne and Matthew Hayden.

Jair vê Corinthians sem confiança e espera reação: 'A mochila está cheia'

MatériaMais Notícias

Jair Ventura estreou com derrota pelo Corinthians no clássico contra o Palmeiras neste domingo no Allianz Parque. Foram apenas três dias de trabalho, mas o comandante já identificou que o moral dos jogadores está bem comprometido pela sequência negativa de resultados. Ele admite que terá de trabalhar em cima do emocional para a reação ser rápido, dado que o duelo contra o Flamengo pela semifinal da Copa do Brasil já é na próxima quarta-feira.

-Lógico que as derrotas interferem na confiança, é um trabalho do treinador de reverter. Conversamos sobre isso, tem hora que tem de atuar. Vamos levantar essa auto-estima, principalmente quando sofre o gol, não tem poder de reação, porque a mochila está cheia. Temos de reverter o quanto antes. Já teve troca de treinador, quem saiu não volta, já teve mudanças. Não podemos nos apegar a isso. Os responsáveis somos nós – analisou o treinador após a derrota por 1 a 0.

Jair falou especificamente de um jogador, o lateral-direito Mantuan, de 21 anos. Pouco antes do gol do Palmeiras, ele fez sinal para o banco pedindo substituição, mas não houve clareza no pedido. Pouco depois, com ele em campo, o rival abriu o placar. O técnico considera que o lateral tem de aprender com a situação.

-Foi um lance meio complicado. Ele pede, mas continua normal, correndo. Não digo que faltou experiência, mas talvez faltou outra atitude. Não falta de experiência, mas era só fazer o sinal. Ficou a dúvida. Quando já estou chamando o Clayson, a gente sofre o gol. Quase não vi o gol. Palmeiras estava explorando muito bem o corredor, a bola longa. E acabou tomando o gol assim, cruzamento muito longo. Um aprendizado para ele, com certeza ele é jovem, e não deve repetir essa situação – declarou.

O treinador teve dois treinos antes do jogo e decidiu por manter a escalação que vinha jogando. Agora, terá só mais dois dias para preparar o time que encara o Flamengo. A reapresentação é nesta segunda à tarde.

Confira outros trechos da coletiva de Jair:

O que conseguiu mudar?
Tive a pergunta antes do jogo, me perguntaram o que deu para implementar, eu falei: nada! Tem de dar sequência, nem troquei a escalação. Seria imprudente da minha parte fazer mudanças. Precisamos de tempo, mas não temos esse tempo. Já temos o Flamengo, precisamos reverter, estamos todos incomodados.

Análise do jogo
O clássico de muita luta, entrega. Poucas chances, jogo muito lutado. Falei muito do controle emocional, e tivemos. Sabíamos o que estava envolvido, lutamos, marcamos bem, mas tivemos dificuldade na armação, e finalização. Sabemos. Agora é corrigir e virar essa chave, que estamos próximos de conquistar a Copa do Brasil. E no Brasileiro sempre pensamos em cima.

O time vai conseguir responder quarta?
Tem de responder. A gente trabalha para isso. Período de treinamento será muito pouco, tem viagem para o Rio. Podemos perder um jogador, que precisa ser reavaliado, a gente não sabe se Fagner volta. Tivemos de correr risco, mas agora é virar a chave. Tem de sobrar pela derrota, mas está sempre com a cabeça levantada. Enquanto isso a gente vai dando apoio, confiança, porque qualidade tem.

Flamengo
Temos de pensar que são dois jogos, nada está decidido. Tem outro jogo, mas claro que se conseguir resultado fora é muito importante. Sempre é assim.

Romero de falso 9
Tem chance de ele jogar ali, sim, principalmente sem Roger, que não pode jogar a Copa do Brasil. Jonathas estava parado, então pode ocorrer na necessidade.

Encontro com Felipão
Muito especial poder competir com o Felipão, um dos melhores. Sempre falei, quando me perguntaram sobre jovens, sempre falei que era uma mescla, e o Felipão é um dos melhores.

Oram wants sustained dominance

by csb10.top Uncategorized

Jacob Oram, the New Zealand allrounder, has said the ruthlessness the Test team showed in beating Zimbabwe in three days in Napier was a sign that New Zealand cricket was developing depth. Oram has retired from Tests but will join the squad for the three ODIs and two Twenty20 internationals. He said it was important New Zealand continued their dominance of Zimbabwe to show they had progressed.”That Test was not only a sign of the changing conditions Zimbabwe will have to deal with, but also New Zealand cricket as a whole creating a little bit of momentum and depth,” Oram told the . “That obviously augurs well not only for this series but for when South Africa tour in the near future.”The best sides I have played against – Australia five or six years ago, India in their own conditions – once they got their tails up they were near-unstoppable. I’m not saying we’re at that level, but we are taking small steps towards that.”Oram has struggled with injuries through his career and, after missing trips to Bangladesh and India in 2010, was not guaranteed of a place in the 2011 World Cup squad. He made a comeback in New Zealand’s 2010-11 home series against Pakistan and went on to play a key role in their World Cup campaign. Oram, 33, said he has stopped letting injuries frustrate him.”I’ve grown out of caring about my injuries. When I was trying to play all three formats it used to get me down, and did get frustrating. But I’m over it now. I try my hardest to get right for cricket and if something happens I don’t lose sleep over it because I know I’ve done all I can to play.”There will be increased competition for the allrounder’s slot in New Zealand’s limited-overs XI with Canterbury’s Andrew Ellis being added to the ODI squad and Auckland’s Colin de Grandhomme making it to the Twenty20 squad. Oram’s numbers in the domestic Twenty20 and List A competition have not been impressive – he averaged just 6.50 with the bat and took five wickets in six games in the HRV Cup and has taken two wickets in four games in the Ford Trophy. He, however, said he was bowling well.”The ball is coming out well, the figures suggest I’m bowling okay, I felt good during the HRV Cup and I’m fine to go.”The first ODI between New Zealand and Zimbabwe is on February 3 in Dunedin.
