India Hit Back On Truncated Day

cricketBangladesh’s collapse, like India’s, started in the 15th over. India lost three wickets for six runs, Bangladesh lost three for five. India had 79 runs on the board before their collapse, Bangladesh 59. India continued collapsing, bad light granted Bangladesh stay orders.

I am in a great form and I want to continue my form but at the same time I don’t want to put myself under pressure by setting goals and targets,” he said. (more…)

I’ve had 12 now and this has probably been the worst, the most painful. This is the second I’ve had on my elbow, but I’m pretty positive,” Lee told ‘Channel Nine’. (more…)
