Creditable show by Bangladesh batsmen DHAKA, Nov 10 (PTI) — Middle-order
batsmen Habibal Bashar and seasoned Aminul Islam milked an ordinary
Indian bowling on way to scoring half-centuries as Bangladesh put up a
credible 239 for six on the first day of their maiden Test match here
today.
Unbeaten 70 runs by Aminul and Bashar’s splendid 71 inspired the
Test debutants, while the Indians, expected to dominate the hosts, ended
a frustrating day with still four Bangladesh wickets remaining to be
taken.
As Bangladesh celebrated their elevation as the 10th Test playing
nation amidst fanfare, Bashar and Aminul’s performances provided an
icing on the cake at the end of the day.
With Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina herself present to witness the
occasion, the packed Bangabandhu Stadium cheered the players throughout
the day with every single run scored.
Bashar joined the action in the middle after the Indian pace debutant
Zaheer Khan had struck the first blow removing Mehrab Hossein (4), who
edged a catch behind to Saba Karim.
The one down batsman, who was ignored in the first list of team
announced by the Bangladesh selectors, made good the opportunity and
justified his inclusion with a magestic innings.
Seasoned Javagal Srinath, returning to the team after months of
inaction, could hardly generate any pace or swing from the track and
went wicketless for the day, while young Zaheer was menacing at times.
Bangladesh opener Sharihar Hossain (12) was next to go edging spinner
Sunil Joshi to Indian skipper Saurav Ganguly, setting the stage for
Bashar-Aminul partnership.
Zaheer was at it again when he induced a well-set Bashar to go for a
big one but instead the batsman snicked the ball for Ganguly to take the
catch in the slips.
After Bashar’s departure, former national captain Aminul, who had a
slow start, went from strength to strength providing a knock of
substance which helped Bangladesh cross the 200-run mark comfortably.
Left-arm spinner Sunil Joshi was the most successful Indian bowler
with three wickets for 69 runs, but there was nothing to cheer for India
at the end of the day.
Left-arm fast bowler Zaheer celebrated his debut with two wickets and
was economical conceding only 36 runs in 14 overs, while Ajit Agarkar
chipped in with one wicket for 46 runs. Scoreboard

DHAKA, Nov 10 (UNI) — Bangladesh will
visit Pakistan to play two Test matches there if India’s upcoming tour
of Pakistan does not materialise, Secretary of Bangladesh Cricket Board,
Mr Ashraful Haq informed here today.
Speaking to the UNI Mr Haq said the Bangladesh tour of Pakistan would
be backed up by a back-to-back series where Pakistan would play two Test
matches in Bangladesh. Mr Haq said in case the India’s tour to
Pakistan materialised, then Bangladesh would play two Test matches in
April next year with Zimbabwe.
He said from next session Bangladesh would be placed in the ICC Test
calendar and would play at least 25 Test matches in next five years
meeting all the Test playing countries in the process.
Mr Haq informed that the Bangladesh Cricket Board, to prepare its
team for these events, has drawn elaborate plan and signed contract with
20 of its national ranking players. Mr Haq said: “We are the first
Asian country to introduce contract system. We now have 20 players under
contract. We are committed to looking after our players and as a return
we also want 100 per cent commitment from them.
He said the contract with the players was for one year which was
renewable at the end of the year after judging their performance. The
present 20 players under contract were chosen after judging their
current form and fitness. Beside this contract, the BCB had also drawn
up several other schemes for the improvement of the game in the country.
Mr Haq said BCB which had about 2000 registered players under its
fold, prepared a very exhaustive development programme at the junior
level. “We have about 200 boys under four age group — under-13,
under-14, under-17 and under-19 years — who were undergoing training
under four coaches who have been hired from Sri Lanka. Hopefully quite a
few of them would come up to fill the vacancy caused by the senior
players time to time.”
Mr Haq informed that to raise the necessary fund, the BCB had made a
five-year contract with World Tel for a five-year period for television
right here. Though he did not disclose the exact amount, it was quote
handsome. Besides, the BCB had also made a deal with Coca Cola for being
the sponsor of Bangladesh team for three years.
According to the contract, Coke would pay the BCB taka 60 lakh each
year plus another taka 30 lakh extra for improvement of infrastructure,
he added. |

INDORE, Nov 10 (UNI) — Zimbabwe
decided to play it safe batting for 68 minutes after tea, thus ensuring
that the three-day match against National Cricket Academy played here
today ended in a tame draw.
Zimbabwe who resumed at their overnight score of 84 for two batted on
till 68 minutes after tea before declaring at 320 for five. National
Cricket Academy XI ended the final day on 42 for one after being set a
target of 320 to win in 11 overs.
The Zimbabweans decided to give their batsmen some batting practice
ahead of the Test matches rather then setting a chasable target to the
National Cricket Academy.
Andy Flower, who along with Alistair Campbell is Zimbabweans main
batsman, came into timely form after failing in the first innings making
a century before retiring to let the other batsmen have a go at the
bowlers on a pitch which was still playing true.
After resuming at their overnight score of 84 for two, Flower seemed
in a mood to redeem himself as he went after the bowling with a
vengeance. He was especailly severe on the spinners carting them to all
corners of the field.
Madondo at the other end, also looked set to play a big innings
bringing up his fifty with a flick to the square leg boundary of R.
Patel. His fifty contained seven hits and came in 80 balls.
He, however, did not last long as Sodhi brought on v sivaramakrishnan
for the first time in the day in the 25th over and he struck immediately
as Madondo played back and missed the line of the ball to see his
furniture getting disturbed behind him. Madondo made 65 runs in a stay
of 187 minutes and having faced 108 balls with seven hits to the fence.
After Madondo’s dismissal, Flower showed how to play spin bowling
as he had no trouble in taking apart the Indian spinners, being
especially harsh on left armer V. Sivaramakrishnan. Scoreboard

Injured
Jeremy to stay with squad
PERTH, Nov 10 (AFP) — Young West Indies fast bowl Kerry Jeremy will
remain with the touring squad in Australia despite undergoing surgery
later today on a jaw broken in two places.
A West Indies spokesman said the decision for Jeremy to remain in the
16-man squad was based on the belief the 20-year-old from Antigua would
recover quickly.
If all went well, he could be playing again in four weeks, the
spokesman said.
The tour, embracing five Tests — the first starting November 23 —
and a one-day series against Australia and Zimbabwe, continues until
mid-February.
Jeremy was felled at Perth’s waca Ground yesterday by former Test
express bowler Matthew Nicholson on the opening day of the tourists’
initial first-class game of the tour, a four-day workout against Western

St PETERSBURG (Russia), Nov 10
(Reuters) — US Open champion Marat Safin, in a tight race with
Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten for the world number one ranking, is dreaming
of winning the title, but also admits he is feeling the pressure.
“I really want to be number one and I want it now, not next year or
the year after,” Safin told Reuters following his first round win over
little-known Russian compatriot Igor Kornienko at the St Petersburg Open
on Wednesday.
“If I win it this year, I’ll be the youngest ever to become the
world number one and that’s what I really want.”
If Safin achieves his goal, at the age of 20 years and ten months, he
will surpass the record of John McEnroe, who became the number one on
March 3, 1980, at the age of 21 years 15 days.
With only three weeks of the season left, Safin (661 points) is
second in the ATP champions’ Race, just three points behind French
Open title-holder Kuerten (664). Wimbledon champion Pete Sampras is
third with 637 points.
“I wouldn’t lie to you. Every morning I look on the internet page
to see how is Kuerten doing in Lyon and I’m sure he does the same
thing by checking on me playing here,” Safin said with his usual broad
smile.
“He has never been number one before and I’m sure he’s as
hungry as myself to get it.”
But the big-serving Russian admits the pressure is taking its toll on
him.
“I haven’t played well in the last few weeks. It’s been a long
and hard season and I’ve done a lot of running, jumping around and all
those things both on and off the court,” he said. |

NZ
announces probe panel
AUCKLAND, Nov 10 (Reuters) — New Zealand Cricket said today it had
appointed a three-man team to look into allegations that former captain
Martin Crowe took money from an Indian bookmaker.
The inquiry will be headed by retired high court judge Sir Ian Barker
and Queen’s Counsel Nick Davidson, assisted by lawyer Tim Gresson.
A report released by the Board of Control of Cricket in India last
week named Crowe as one of a number of international players reputed to
have been paid or offered money for information.
“The BCCI report claimed that Martin Crowe received $ 20,000 for
providing information to Indian bookmaker M.K. Gupta in 1992.
“Martin has strenuously denied the allegations against him and has
welcomed the initiation of an independent, New Zealand-based inquiry,”
New Zealand cricket chief executive Christopher Doig said in a
statement. |

India
lose to UAE in snooker
DUBAI, Nov 10 (PTI) — Fancied Indians were pipped by UAE ‘A’
2-1 as the hosts edged closer to their first major triumph in the second
seven-nation Emarat International Snooker Tournament here.
India’s Sarang Shroff went down 3-4 to UAE’s Obaid Khalifa after
winning the first frame 63-61. Khalifa then rallied to limit the Indian
to just 31 points in the second and 18 in the third to go a clear 2-1.
Shroff came back strongly with a break of 56 in the fourth to draw
level. The next two frames went in favour of Khalifa 81-25, 80-68.
Immediately after, Khalifa materialised on a red ball miss by Shroff
and with the large crowd-support finished the game 70-26.

Indian men advance; women held ISTANBUL, Nov 10 (PTI) — Indian men
advanced in the standing’s list with a fine 2.5-1.5 victory over
Kyrgyzstan while the women remained on course for a respectable finish,
drawing with Belarus 1.5-1.5, in the 12th round of the 34th Chess
Olympiad here today.
Top seed Russia put up another good show to overwhelm Armenia with a
huge margin of 3.5-0.5 in the men’s section. The Russians have 34
points in their kitty now and enjoy a 2-point lead over nearest rival
Germany who downed the USA 3-1.
India is tied for the 10-13 spot with 28.5 points to its credit. The
next round of the remaining two rounds will be crucial for India as they
take on a not-so-strong Poland.
In the women’s event, the Chinese (28 points) are cruising to a
smooth victory. They defeated Germany 2-1 and have a 2.5 points lead
over Georgia. Indian women have accumulated 20 points.
It was Grandmaster Krishnan Sasikiran who anchored the Indian victory
today. Playing white against e. moldobaev, the Indian stalwart firmly
put behind the loss yesterday and crushed the Modern Benoni defence.
After routine opening moves, Sasikiran emerged with a slight
advantage and slowly squeezed the counter attack on the queenside with
timely blockades by minor pieces.
When Sasikiran initiated a king-side attack, Moldobaev sensed
imminent trouble. Fearing disaster, Moldobaev decided to sacrifice his
queen bishop pawn but did not get the desired counter play.
Sasikiran pushed the central pawns to create decisive threats and won
on the 51st move.
The other three boards for India ended in draws. On the second board,
GM Abhijit Kunte took on V. Magai from the black side of a Queens Indian
defence and did not have any difficulty in equalizing after the opening.
The pieces got exchanged at regular intervals and the peace treaty
was signed after 39 moves. |
