Hauritz’s Doosra is ready

PERTH, Dec 14: Australian off-spinner Nathan Hauritz says he will use the ‘Doosra’ during the third Test against the West Indies, and is confident about bouncing back in Perth after putting in a lacklustre performance in Adelaide last week.

Hauritz bowled well in the first Test win in Brisbane taking 3-17 and 2-40, but only managed match figures of 2-179 in Adelaide.

India take on Lanka in opener

RAJKOT, Dec 14: A suspected hairline fracture to Yuvraj Singh’s finger has left India worried as they go into the opening One Day International against Sri Lanka on Tuesday with a question mark on the availability of the dashing left hander.

It will be a big setback for India if the southpaw, who injured his left little finger while fielding in the last T20I match in Mohali, ends up warming the benches even though team management is keen to play him in the series-opener.
