Michael Clarke unlikely to miss entire India tour of Australia

Michael Clarke, who is currently recovering from a hamstring injury, his third in recent times, might well feature at some stage during India's upcoming tour of Australia. The two teams are scheduled to feature in a four-Test series, beginning at the Gabba, Brisbane, on December 4th. The Tests will be followed by a triangular series, with England as the third team. Cricket Australia physiotherapist, Alex Kountouris, remains confident that skipper, Michael Clarke, will play some part in the upcoming home summer. The Australian captain re-aggravated his hamstring injury during the first ODI against South Africa in Perth last Friday and is considered as a doubtful starter for the first Test against India, starting on 4th December at the Gabba, Brisbane.

                      Bangladesh Script A Memorable Win  

This is the first time in Test history that Bangladesh have won a match within three days. They have, in fact, lost 19 in three days. Indeed, an achievement, this one. It is also their first Test win this year! And, Mushfiqur Rahimhas become the first Bangladesh captain to win two Tests.Mushfiqur and his men will heave a sigh of relief! They came so close to losing this one. 17 wickets fell in the day. Earlier, Zimbabwe were completely outfoxed by Taijul's spin as the young man picked up 8 wickets. The visitors only about managed to put up 114. Requiring a mere 101 to win, one would have expected Bangladesh to cruise through. However, Zimbabwe were not ready to let this one slip away so easily. Their pacers yet again used the conditions well to leave the hosts reeling on 62/6. Chigumbura picked up 4 and he was well supported by the other bowlers. In the end, however, skipper Mushfiqur persisted alongside Taijul to give Bangladesh a fantastic victory.
