Cricket Video - India Win, Kallis Reaches 12,000 Runs - Cricket World TV

17 November 2011

A cricket video for Cricket World  TV about the latest cricket news looking at India beating the West Indies in the second Test and Jacques Kallis becoming the fourth man to reach 12,000 Test runs.

Centuries from Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Mahendra Singh Dhoni put India in a commanding position of the second Test at Eden Gardens in Kolkata before the West Indies, despite a valiant attempt from Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels, were comprehensively defeated.

At the ground where he scored a masterful 281 against Australia in 2001, Laxman made 176 not out while Dravid looked to be at his best as he became the leading Test run-scorer of the year in making 119. Dhoni scored a century as brilliant as the one he achieved in the 2011 World Cup final, making 144 which included five sixes and plenty of his renowned helicoptor shots.

Bravo, who is rapidly collecting comparisons with the great Brian Lara - to whom he is related - scored a masterful 136 but his effort proved to be in vain while Samuels made his first genuine contribution with the bat since his return from a ban for match-fixing.

Meanwhile, Jacques Kallis moved into fourth place on the all-time Test run-scoring list behind Tendulkar, Dravid and Ricky Ponting with his 55th half-century as the second Test between South Africa and Australia got underway in Johannesburg. He overtook Lara by hitting 54 in just 41 balls in a fine innings at The Wanderers as South Africa look to seal a rare series win over Australia.

The dust has barely settled on Sri Lanka's 20-run victory over Australia that saw them into the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 semi-finals but Mahela Jayawardene is already looking ahead to the clash with India. The elegant right-hander stroked an unbeaten 84 to set up Sri Lanka's winning score of 253 for eight and says that he is looking forward to taking on India, who sailed through the group stages with three wins in three.
Sri Lanka survived a late Australian fightback to take a 20-run win and claim their place in the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013. After half-centuries from Mahela Jayawardene and Lahiru Thirimanne had set them up for a score of 253 for eight, they needed three wickets from Nuwan Kulasekara and a brilliant caught and bowled by Tillakaratne Dilshan at the end to dismiss Australia for 233.
In another day of high drama at the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, England beat New Zealand by 10 runs to secure a place in the semi-finals. For a large part of the day it didn't look like any play was possible but the tournament hosts eventually came out on top of a 24 overs-per-side match in Cardiff.
India maintained their winning record at the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 with an eight-wicket victory over Pakistan, eventually escaping the rain showers in Birmingham. Shikhar Dhawan made 48 as India reached an adjusted target of 102 in 22 overs having earlier dismissed Pakistan for 165 in 39.4 overs.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2013 continues to produce drama, none more so than in the tied match between South Africa and West Indies in Cardiff. The rain set in moments after Kieron Pollard's dismissal had levelled the scores on the Duckworth/Lewis method, and as the players were unable to return, South Africa qualified for the semi-finals.
There may be little more than pride at stake for Pakistan when they take on arch-rivals India in tomorrow's ICC Champions Trophy Group B clash at Edgbaston, but captain Misbah-ul-Haq says he is relishing the task of taking them on. Misbah, who averages 41 against India in ODIs, says that despite the fact that Pakistan have already been eliminated following defeats to South Africa and West Indies, the match is an important one.
