Tamim attacks after Chanderpaul?s double century ? Cricket News Roundup ? Part 1 ? November 14, 2012
A double century from Shivnarine Chanderpaul helped Windies to a daunting total of 527 for 4 (declared) on day 2 of the opening Test against Bangladesh at Mirpur.
The veteran left-hander slammed 22 fours in his unbeaten 203-run knock, and got able support from Kieran Powell and Denesh Ramdin, both of whom reached three-figure scores.
The home side in reply, lost opener Junaid Siddique early, before Tamim Iqbal rescued the innings with an attacking unbeaten half-century. The team reached 113 for 2 in 18 overs.
Australian management have confirmed that Shane Watson will only be a part of their home summer plans, if he can perform the all-rounder role in the side.
Watson was replaced by Victorian batsman Rob Quiney for the opening Test against South Africa after the former sustained a calf injury while bowling in a domestic match. With the second game commencing in a week?s time, the selectors have made it clear that Watto will not be considered purely as a top six batter.
?There are times over the past 12 months where he has been considered in both roles and sometimes as a batsman only, but very much at Adelaide they're looking to his bowling and his fitness around bowling, to see if he's capable of doing both,? Pat Howard, the team?s performance manager said.
Alastair Cook, the English skipper, has confirmed that Steven Finn will take no part in the first Test against India.
Finn picked up a thigh straining after bowling just four overs during the opening warm-up game against India A. He missed the subsequent practice matches and further took no part in the training session on Tuesday.
While the management has confirmed that the player is fit, they have still decided to leave him out of the upcoming clash given the depth in the pace bowling department, which apart from James Anderson and Stuart Broad, includes Tim Bresnan, Graham Onion and Stuart Meaker.
"I wouldn't call them back-up bowlers, they're all vying for a place to play in this XI, to be lucky enough to play for England," Cook said. "They've all worked hard to get used to these conditions and as selectors we've got a tough decision to make."
