Shakib's bat finally talks

Sakib Al Hasan


Shakib Al Hasan cracked a half-century after nine innings yesterday.
The national captain hammered a quickfire 54 in Worcestershire's first innings against Hampshire in the County Champion-ship match at the New Road ground.
The last time the left-hander went past the 50-mark was against Australia back on April 9 in home conditions. His IPL stint yielded only 27 runs from three innings while during the Friends Life t20s, Shakib's highest score was 16, though both in the IPL and in England, his bowling form never wavered.
Playing in his first longer-version game in over a year, Shakib hammered nine boundaries in his 63-ball knock. He fell to Dominic Cork after adding 109 for the fifth wicket with centurion Vikram Solanki, who struck 173.
Worcestershire declared their first innings on 403 for eight to which Hampshire replied and were 112 for three from 32 overs.
