Under bright sunshine the Palam Air Force ground had no play for the first two sessions on day four of the Ranji Trophy semi-final with much doubt and deliberation whether play could begin at all on Saturday

The Report by Sharda Ugra in Delhi19-Jan-2013Under bright sunshine and bracing breeze from the east, the Palam Air Force ground had no play on day four of the Ranji Trophy semi-final; there was also an element of uncertainity as to whether it would be possible to begin play on time on Sunday.The fourth day was called off without a ball being bowled, at around 3:50pm, after umpires Subroto Das and Adrian Holdstock scheduled numerous inspections of the pitch that had been completely soaked by Friday’s hailstorms and rainfall over Delhi.So far only 143 overs have been held over the first four days of the semi-final, with a lot of play lost to bad light and rain. Mumbai, who won the toss and batted, scored 380 for 6 and with a day’s play left, they would need the Services first innings to be completed for less than that on Sunday for the match to come to an end tomorrow. Should the Services first innings not be completed tomorrow either way, the match can go into an extra sixth day on Monday.Mumbai coach Sulakshan Kulkarni said his team’s approach on Sunday would depend on the time the match eventually got underway and the weather conditions at the start of play. There were he said for Mumbai, “potentially 196 overs” still left in the game, based on an ideal 90 overs each being bowled on Sunday and Monday, plus an extra 16 overs, eight from each of the two weather-affected days.In this match though, the ideal has stayed away at an arms length, particularly on Saturday when the sun was blindingly bright enough well into the late afternoon. Given the quality of the light over the Palam Air Force ground today, play could have continued until 5pm, but the dampness of the pitch meant that an entire day went by without a ball being bowled. At the ground, the outfield has a sand base and the pitch is made of clay and has black soil in it that absorbs much greater moisture than the outfield does.The match pitch is at the extreme right side of the cordoned-off playing square, and had three layers of cover along with six iron pipes laid across it. During the hailstorm and heavy winds all through Friday night and Saturday morning, the wind ripped out the clamps of the cover and sent the pipes rolling along. With the pitch covers blown off, the rain soaked into the match pitch. It has led to a situation with no cricket, despite no signs of fog or rain.Services Sports Control Board secretary, Air Commodore Wing Commander M Baladitya said, “We had impressed upon the BCCI that they had the expertise and besides, we did not want to get into the money aspect of refurbishing the ground. We said if this ground developed it will be an asset for cricket.”The BCCI agreed to get involved in a project as it would have full control of it, starting with visits by the BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale, CAO Ratnakar Shetty and the issuing of tenders to chosen vendors along with the involvement of its pitch committee members like Sundaram and Daljit Singh. In June this year, the entire ground was excavated, fresh soil brought in to replace Palam’s nutrient-deprived earth, and a machine using laser to develop a proper gradient between the playing square and boundary. The entire center square was relaid and a plant set up for water purification along with a mechanised irrigation system.Baladitya said the paradox of bright sunshine and no play had taken place due to unprecedented rain. “We usually don’t have a drainage problem here because water drains very quickly,” he said. When a match wicket gets soaked though, what transpires is a peculiar state of events.

A round-up of the fourth day’s play of the seventh round of matches of the Ranji Trophy Elite, 2011-12

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Dec-2011Group BA sustained bowling effort from Haryana carried them into the Ranji Trophy quarter-finals as they beat Gujarat by 140 runs in Surat. The result also condemned Gujarat to the Plate League next season, as they finished bottom of the group.With Baroda falling to Bengal, Haryana needed an outright win to go through while Gujarat needed a win to stay in the Elite League. Ashish Hooda gave Haryana the perfect start by having Jaisal Karia caught behind for 19 in the second over the day. Harshal Patel and Sachin Rana then picked up an early wicket apiece to leave Gujarat reeling at 49 for 4. Bhargav Merai and India wicketkeeper-batsman Parthiv Patel knuckled down to take Gujarat past 100 but India legspinner Amit Mishra trapped Parthiv leg-before to end the 55-run partnership.Haryana were now into the lower order and they were not about to throw away their opportunity,. Pratharesh Parmar was dismissed by offspinner Jayant Yadav for 4 and Manprit Juneja was bowled by Mishra for 1. When Merai, who had battled to 47, was caught off Mishra, the writing was on the wall. The ninth-wicket pair of Ashraf Makda and Mehul Patel frustrated the bowlers for 8.3 overs and 21 runs, but Yadav cued the celebrations by snaffling Makda (16) and last man Ishwar Chaudhary in the same over. He finished with 3 for 37, while Mishra took 3 for 25.Bengal narrowly missed out on a spot in the quarter-finals despite beating Baroda by nine wickets at the Moti Bagh Stadium in Vadodara. A ten-wicket win would have seen them match Haryana’s total of 14 points and they would have gone through on the basis of a better quotient. But they lost Arindam Das chasing a mere 36 for victory and his dismissal meant Haryana would move on to play in the quarter-finals.The loss marked the end of what had been a promising campaign for last year’s beaten finalists, Baroda, who needed only a point to progress. Unfortunately, their batsmen failed to show up when it mattered most, with five zeros and a 2 littering their scorecard. Rakesh Solanki was the only batsman to offer any resistance, and once he was out for 59 in the first over of the day, Baroda quickly capitulated, losing their next four wickets for 32 runs. Dinda, who had taken three wickets on the previous day, took another two to finish with 5 for 66 while Sourav Sarkar took 4 for 32.Needing just 36 for their first win of the season, and to avoid losing wickets to make the knock-outs, Bengal managed the first, but not the second.Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh, both of whom have qualified for the next round, played out a draw in Chennai. Amarjeet took four wickets as the hosts tumbled for 208 in the second innings, with Yo Mahesh top scoring with 58 while Malolan Rangarajan made 48. MP did manage to reduce Tamil Nadu to 61 for 4, but since they conceded a 179-run lead, it meant Tamil Nadu were never in any danger.”We didn’t take advantage of the seamer-friendly conditions after winning the toss on the first day,” Madhya Pradesh coach Mukesh Sahni said. “We could have batted and fielded better. Our approach was a little defensive too. “There is now time for us to rectify those mistakes in time for the knockout stage.”

Bhargav Bhatt picked up a five-for but could not stop Rajasthan from putting up a stiff first-innings target of 394

The Bulletin by Abhishek Purohit at Moti Bagh12-Jan-2011
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsBhargav Bhatt picked up five wickets but had to bowl 43 overs to get them•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Bhargav Bhatt toiled his way to a well-deserved five-wicket haul, but could not prevent Rajasthan from getting close to 400, a total which looks competitive on a wicket where uneven bounce is in play, with numerous deliveries failing to rise above ankle height. Jaykishan Kolsawala led a strong reply for Baroda, but Rajasthan managed to remove his opening partner Connor Williams, and will think they hold the initiative against a line-up that is thin on experience.That the second day saw more action after the dullness that had characterised the first was due to the batsmen taking more initiative, and the bowlers getting more help from the surface. While Bhatt was rewarded for his efforts, Murtuja Vahora got the ball to nip around and hurried the batsmen, though that was not reflected in his 36 wicketless overs that went for 108 runs.None of Rajasthan’s batsmen made a hundred, but the intent today was to look for every opportunity to score, and they added almost the same number of runs they had yesterday in fewer than two-thirds of the overs. The approach was characterised by Ashok Menaria, whose quick 45 inched Rajasthan close to the psychological mark of 400, even as the left-arm spinners Bhatt and Swapnil Singh were getting the ball to turn and bounce.Menaria’s innings was crucial as it came after Rajasthan had lost the pair of nightwatchman Vivek Yadav and Robin Bist, the latter to a ripper from Bhatt, with the score on 269. Bowling from over the wicket, Bhatt pitched one in the rough outside the right-hander’s leg stump, and got it to turn sharply past the angled forward push from Bist to uproot his off stump. Like yesterday, there was turn, but it was sharper, and the unevenness of the surface showed when consecutive deliveries from offspinner Aditya Waghmode took off to reach shoulder height, the second ball beating wicketkeeper Pinal Shah as well.Another wicket or two at that stage, and Rajasthan would have struggled to reach 350. Menaria showed the importance of being positive on this track, starting with two swept fours off Bhatt that went either side of the deep-backward square leg fielder. In the next over, he hit Waghmode for fours on either side of the wicket, and two overs later, looted 12 runs from Swapnil Singh with a six over midwicket and a four through extra cover. With Menaria dismantling the bowling and Rashmi Parida looking solid at the other end, Rajasthan added 120 runs in the first session, and were eyeing a total in the region of 450.Baroda, who had started to wilt under Menaria’s assault, came back with purpose after lunch, tying down the batsmen. Bhatt got Menaria pushing hard at one that gripped and bounced to take the inside edge, the ball then striking the pad before ending up in the hands of forward short leg.Parida ensured Rajasthan did at least get close to 400, playing safely, but using the steer, glance and sweep to pick up boundaries. He brought up his half-century with another sweep off Bhatt, but the tail did not offer him much support. Rohit Jhalani got a beauty from Sankalp Vohra, and Deepak Chahar and Pankaj Singh went to back to deliveries that came in and were bowled, though the ball that got Pankaj did not get up above his ankle. Bhatt bowled Parida with a quick yorker-length delivery in his 43rd over for his fourth five-wicket haul in ten first-class games.Pankaj and Chahar have formed a potent new-ball combination this season, but Kolsawala and Williams negotiated them safely. Both chose to defend the seamers mostly on the back foot. Kolsawala was a treat to watch, especially when he drove straight down the ground and through extra cover. An overly defensive approach could have played into Rajasthan’s hands, but Kolsawala made sure that didn’t happen.Rajasthan did end the day on a positive note, when Williams pushed at legspinner Yadav, playing for turn where there wasn’t any, and Aakash Chopra took a sharp diving chance at slip. The pressure of a final showed on Kedar Devdhar, who had made 4 and 0 in the semi-final, and looked anxious to get off the mark. But Rajasthan made him wait for 23 deliveries, and he finally got off the mark courtesy a misfield at mid-on. Rajasthan will hope the uneven nature of the track creates further doubts in the minds of the Baroda batsmen tomorrow, for whom 394 appears miles away at the moment.

Pakistan will have a new captain after their tour of Australia comes to an end in early February, Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, has said

Cricinfo staff22-Jan-2010Pakistan will have a new captain after their tour of Australia comes to an end in early February,
Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, has said. Mohammad Yousuf was appointed to lead in New Zealand and Australia after Younis Khan quit in a huff back in November.”This captain [Mohammad Yousuf] was for this series only and we will decide after the tour of Australia about the captain, [but] we will change,” Butt told the private ARY News channel.Under Yousuf, Pakistan squared a three-Test series against New Zealand but lost three Tests in a row to Australia before they surrendered the first ODI in Brisbane today. The relationship between Yousuf and the selection committee, headed by Iqbal Qasim, has been tense over the course of the long tour of Australia. He had Misbah-ul-Haq sent over to New Zealand after the player had been dropped from all three formats of the game just a month before.Butt termed Younis’ decision to relinquish the captaincy as unfortunate for Pakistan. “We did not change Younis. Unfortunately the sports committee of the parliament made him run away after they levelled match-fixing allegations against him,” he said.Butt squashed the match-fixing allegations against Pakistan after the Champions Trophy, in specific the game against Australia in which they lost by one run off the last ball. “How can someone fix a match on the last ball? Only a magician can do that and on this allegation Younis was mentally disturbed and resigned,” Butt said. “Younis was a good captain but he was hurt on the allegations and quit. Now we will soon decide about the change.”Butt also said there could be changes to the coaching staff. “Coaching is a very difficult job so I don’t want to comment on it, but yes, we are looking at options to hire batting and fielding coaches, foreign or local, for the national team,” he said. “The problem is no foreign coach is willing to come to Pakistan in present security conditions and a local coach appears to be a more feasible prospect.”Pakistan’s next Test assignment is in England where they play Australia, a series shifted out of Pakistan over security fears. They are scheduled to play four Tests against England on the same tour.

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur scored her seventh ODI fifty to guide the side to a five-wicket win over Bangladesh in the first ODI in Ahmedabad

ESPNcricinfo staff08-Apr-2013
ScorecardIndia captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s seventh ODI fifty guided the side to a five-wicket win over Bangladesh in the first of the three ODIs in Ahmedabad.Chasing 195, India had a sluggish start and Harmanpreet came in to bat when the score was 37 for 2 in the 13th over. An 83-run partnership for the fourth wicket between Harmanpreet and Anagha Deshpande revived the chase for India. Once Deshpande was out for a 50-ball 47, Harmanpreet and the lower middle order took India home with four balls to spare. Harmanpreet’s unbeaten 63 came off 100 balls and had only three fours.Earlier, Bangladesh chose to bat first and scored 194 for 9. They began at a fair pace but lost their openers quickly. Rumana Ahmed (38) and Lata Mondal (39) steadied the innings, but their partnership of 57 took 98 balls, slowing down the innings. After the pair was dismissed, captain Salma Khatun held one end up, bringing up her first ODI fifty. She received little support from the other end, however, as the Indian bowlers, led by left-arm spinner Ekta Bisht, dismissed the middle and lower order. Khatun was unbeaten on 75 at the end of the innings and her 82-ball knock included 11 fours. Bisht finished with 3 for 27 while Shubhlakshmi Sharma picked up two wickets.

يرى عادل عبد الرحمن لاعب الأهلي السابق، أن مواجهة الوداد المغربي أفضل للمارد الأحمر من صن داونز في نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

الأهلي يواجه الوداد في المباراة النهائية لدوري أبطال إفريقيا هذا الموسم، بعدما تأهل الفريق المغربي على حساب صن داونز الجنوب إفريقي.

وقال عبد الرحمن خلال تصريحات لبرنامج “بوكس تو بوكس” المذاع على قناة ETC: “الأهلي يستطيع تقديم مستوى أفضل أمام الوداد المغربي، لكن مواجهة صن داونز كانت ستكون أصعب خصوصًا أنه فريق هجومي مميز”.

وتابع: “الأهلي لعب بتشكيلة أساسية أمام الترجي التونسي، باستثناء علي لطفي الذي شارك على حساب محمد الشناوي، ولذلك نستطيع أن نقول إن مارسيل كولر استقر على تشكيل الأهلي وقام بتثبيته تماما، فهو يعمل الآن مع 18 لاعبًا في المرحلة الحالية”.

وأضاف: “كولر في بداية الموسم قام بعمل تدوير كبير بين اللاعبين، والآن استقر على معظم العناصر الأساسية التي تشارك في المباريات الهامة، وهو يمتلك ميزة رائعة بوجود أكثر من عنصر يصلح للعب أساسيًا، ولديه فكر تدريبي خاص به كعادة المدربين الأجانب”.

وأتم: “كولر متحفز للفوز في جميع المباريات، ووصل لقناعة بقدرة لاعبيه على تنفيذ ما يطلبه وتحقيق الانتصارات، كما أنه متأكد من القدرات البدنية للاعبيه ومدرب الاجمال يستحق الإشادة، وهو ما جعله يشارك بالتشكيل الأساسي من جديد أمام الترجي في لقاء الإياب”.

Sri Lanka have a number of young players in their squad keen to get an experience of Australian conditions before the 2015 World Cup

Brydon Coverdale in Melbourne10-Jan-2013

In choosing their squad for the start of this series, Australia’s selectors made no attempt to hide the fact that they were starting to plan for the 2015 World Cup. Sri Lanka might not have trumpeted it, but they too are looking ahead to that tournament. They have been for some time. While they haven’t rested veterans and other key players for this series – Mahela Jayawardene, Tillakaratne Dilshan and Rangana Herath are all in their mid-30s – they have ensured there is plenty of youth in the group.There is Akila Dananjaya, the 19-year-old offspinner who emerged last year as a net bowler who had seemingly mastered the doosra and the carrom ball. There is Kushal Perera, the uncapped 22-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman. There is Dinesh Chandimal, Lahiru Thirimanne and Thisara Perera, all of whom have become ODI regulars in the past two years, yet are still in the 22-23 age group. Those last three already have experience of conditions in Australia, where the next World Cup will be held. Further exposure will be invaluable.”It’s a very young squad. I think after the last World Cup we’ve gone in that direction, when we came to Australia for the triangular [series] as well last year we had a very young team,” Jayawardene said ahead of the first ODI in Melbourne. “Chandimal, Thirimanne, all those guys are regulars in the one-day team, so going forward you need to look at that [the World Cup]. It’s in about another two years’ time so all those guys will be looked at.”The couple of young spinners we’ve bought in, Ajantha [Mendis] is coming back after an injury layoff, Akila Dananjaya is here as well so those guys will get the exposure they require to bowl in these wickets. We’re definitely looking at developing a side for the next four or five years.”While spin might not be the weapon that it can be at home in Sri Lanka, the quality of Mendis, Herath and Dananjaya will make them difficult propositions for Australia’s batsmen – even considering the new rules that allow only four fielders outside the circle. Jayawardene said Mendis would draw confidence from his strong record against Australia in the shorter formats, though mostly in T20, and for Dananjaya the trip would be a valuable learning experience.”Ajantha is a class act and he’ll come in with a lot of confidence, knowing that he has had a lot of success against them, but it’s just another game of cricket,” Jayawardene said. “He has to deliver. We’ve got a lot of variations in our bowling line-up. That’s something that we will try and make use of to create some problems for that line-up. Most of our spinners are looking forward to the opportunity of bowling in these conditions and trying to improve their tricks and see how they can become better bowlers outside Sri Lanka.”We’ll see how it goes with Akila. We wanted him to come and learn. [He may get] an opportunity – we’ve got a lot of cricket, seven matches is a lot of games. Hopefully he will get a bit of a taste of Australia as well. We just want him to develop into a bowler that we want him to be. This is the start of it. This is his first tour away from Sri Lanka. It will be a good investment for us.”We’ve had the opportunity to play in Australia the last three years now, so most of the guys have had that opportunity. The guys who haven’t had that opportunity, it will be great for them, especially on different wickets because every venue will provide us with a different surface. We need to adjust to those surfaces pretty quickly. That will be a challenge and the guys will learn from that.”But spin isn’t Sri Lanka’s only weapon in the limited-overs games. The presence of Lasith Malinga, who has spent the past few weeks in the Big Bash League convincing Australians he is unplayable, is a major boost. David Hussey said this week Malinga, his Melbourne Stars team-mate, was in the form of his life. That kind of hype cannot hurt the Sri Lankans.”I saw what Huss has [said about Malinga],” Jayawardene said. “He’s got people thinking, that’s good. It’s good to know that people are thinking about it obviously and they’ll probably expect those deliveries to come at them as well. We’ve got a few other guys who have got that x-factor in our line-up. As long as one or the other clicks and gets the job done for us on the day.”

Scotland have included four English county regulars in their fifteen-man squad to play in South Africa next month

Firdose Moonda26-Sep-2012Scotland have included four English county regulars in their fifteen-man squad to play in South Africa next month. The players are eligible for Scotland because of a change in ICC regulations which allows cricketers with British passports and Scottish parentage, instead of only those who were born or live in Scotland as was the case before, to play for the country.The quartet are Matt Machan who plays for Sussex as a top order batsman, Robert Taylor, the 22-year-old Leicestershire allrounder and wicketkeepers David Murphy of Northamptonshire and Richard Coughtrie from Gloucestershire. Integrating the players into the squad is part of Scotland’s long-term plan to build a side that will be able to qualify for the 2014 World Twenty20 and the 2015 World Cup.”Cricket Scotland has always taken great pride in its teams having a majority of home grown cricketers, who are products of our excellent age group and academy system,” Andy Tennant, the head of performance said. “This will always be our aim. However where we can supplement our squad with eligible Scots who have been developed elsewhere, we will.”One other uncapped player has been included in the squad, allrounder Michael Leask, while the rest of the party includes familiar faces such as Richie Berrington and Gordon Goudie. They are missing two regulars with regular captain Gordon Drummond having work commitments and Kyle Coetzer on honeymoon.The squad will spend a month in South Africa from October 6. They will be based in Potchefstroom, considered one of the best facilities for training purposes given its proximity to the university and equipment available there. It was used by England for a bowling camp late last year, is the venue of choice for Australia during ICC tournaments in South Africa and it was the base of Spanish football team ahead of the 2010 World Cup.They will play matches under first-class conditions, plus 50-over and 20-over fixtures mostly against South African amateur sides, Highveld Strikers and North-West Dragons. The camp begins with a marquee match day on October 9, when Scotland play IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders and South African franchise Highveld Lions on the same day. Both KKR and the Lions will be preparing for the CLT20, which will be hosted in South Africa.Squad Richie Berrington, Richard Coughtrie, Josh Davey, Alistair Evans, Ryan Flannigan, Gordon Goudie, Majid Haq, Moneeb Iqbal, Michael Leask, Matt Machan, Calum MacLeod, Preston Mommsen (capt), David Murphy, Safyaan Sharif and Rob Taylor

ScorecardWarwickshire suffered their first defeat in the Clydesdale Bank 40 this season as Kent’s bowlers and the weather combined to condemn them to a thumping 10-wicket reverse at Canterbury.Rain interrupted the Warwickshire innings at 94 for 7 and, after a restart at 8.41pm, Kent – set 96 to win in 26 overs – cantered to victory under the St Lawrence Ground floodlights. The hosts needed just 16.3 overs, with young opener Sam Billings hitting a stylish maiden one-day half-century.Billings, 21 in two weeks’ time, drove and pulled the ball with promise to finish unbeaten on 58, from 54 balls, stroking Keith Barker through extra-cover for his ninth four just before hitting the winning run. At the other end, Kent captain Rob Key remained 24 not out.It was an disappointing way for Warwickshire to lose their 100% record, after three wins in as many games, but the Group C leaders were already in deep trouble when the rain came to drive the players off at 6.23pm.Kent seamer Mark Davies undermined the innings after Warwickshire had chosen to bat with a brilliant new ball spell of 8-3-10-3, and then James Tredwell and Darren Stevens made further inroads as Rikki Clarke, Darren Maddy and Chris Woakes tried to stage a recovery from the depths of 9 for 4. Clarke, with 39 from 56 balls, batted impressively and was joined in stands of 43 and 40 by Maddy and Woakes, who was 25 not out when the rain arrived.Maddy reached 18 before being bowled by Tredwell’s third ball, in the 14th over, as he shaped to cut and was beaten by a ball which turned a long way back into him. When Clarke was bowled by a superb off-cutter from Stevens, which also seemed to stay a little low, and was followed back to the pavilion by Keith Barker – lbw for a third-ball duck in the next over from Tredwell – the Warwickshire innings was deep in trouble.The explosive start to the game had earlier seen Varun Chopra depart in the second over, caught at the wicket by Geraint Jones trying to square cut a ball from Matt Coles. Then the accurate Davies struck in his second, third and fourth overs down the Nackington Road slope.Will Porterfield edged behind, fellow left-hander Jim Troughton was taken at second slip from another beauty that again moved away off the seam, and Tim Ambrose spliced an attempted pull straight up in the air.After the initial eight-over powerplay, Warwickshire were on 16 for 4 but Maddy lofted Azhar Mahmood straight for four, and then pulled him for another boundary and Clarke managed to hit Davies for the only boundary he conceded with a rasping pull which brought up Warwickshire’s 50.Woakes also played some fine strokes but Kent’s bowlers had tightened their grip again before the weather intervened as the hosts put their shock defeat to the Unicorns behind them.
