India looking for unbeatable lead Kanpur, January 27 The three matches so far have been far closer than expected and India’s two wins have not been as comprehensive as they would have liked them to be. They were lucky to have survived Marcus Trescothick’s onslaught in the first match in Kolkata while in Chennai, they very nearly made a mess of a rollicking start to their run-chase before holding on for a four-wicket win. On the other hand, the visitors have been more impressive and have made the Indians work extremely hard for their victories. The team management is now working overtime to hammer out a well laid out plan to tackle the visitors who have undoubtedly been the better team as far as strategies and their meticulous execution are concerned. Coach John Wright has already identified fielding and the brittle middle order batting as two areas of immediate concern to the Indians and they would do well to keep that in mind when they go on to the field tomorrow. In a bid to make the middle order more stable, the selectors made a big decision when they dropped V.V.S. Laxman from the squad for the second half of the series on Friday, replacing him with middle order batsman Mohd Kaif. Kaif, in all probability, will play tomorrow and it would be one-day debut for the promising youngster. In his earlier four-Test match stint, the gutsy batsman has not quite done justice to his talent, with 37 as his highest score, and it is expected he will make the most of the opportunity at his home ground tomorrow. The Indians will also get a big psychological boost with Saurav Ganguly most likely to be back at the helm of affairs after missing the Chennai match due to a hamstring injury. Though no one was ready to give a definite information on the skipper, Wright said the MRI scans on Ganguly’s injury had been found to be okay and he should “hopefully” be back to lead the side here. A victory for the hosts here would mean England can stop entertaining their hopes of a series triumph and that is one reason why the visitors would be all pumped up to win the match tomorrow and square the series 2-2. India are far from having settled their problem areas and have allowed England to exploit on their weaknesses. England captain Nasser Hussain had only stated the obvious at the beginning of the series when he said the Indians are known chokers in crunch situations. And the way he has been able to exploit that vulnerability with meticulous planning has been remarkable. India’s problem starts right at the top and the man who can rectify it is none other than the captain himself. After another successful innings of Virender Sehwag as an opener in Chennai, the pressure has increased on Ganguly to perform. Despite his prolonged loss of form, Ganguly has been averaging a formidable 44 in the one-dayers but its been long since he played a real match-winning knock. With Rahul Dravid and Laxman out, for different reasons, the Indian middle order hardly has any experience and it would put a lot of responsibility on the younger players. Dinesh Mongia is going great guns in this series and has been scoring consistently but Hemang Badani has looked like crumbling under pressure. The English bowlers have been quite impressive with Andrew Flintoff clearly being the pick of the lot. He has bowled with a lot of fire and has been able to pin the batsmen down. He was even able to keep Sachin Tendulkar and Sehwag in check when the duo were in full flow in the first few overs in Chennai. Matthew Hoggard and Darren Gough have also been effective so much so that a capable bowler like Andrew caddick is not able to find a place in the team. This would be the second match between the two teams at this ground, India having registered a six-wicket win over England in their previous encounter in 1989. Teams (from): India: Sourav Ganguly (capt), Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Mongia, Mohd Kaif, Hemang Badani, Virender Sehwag, Ajay Ratra, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Ajit Agarkar, Javagal Srinath, Sarandeep Singh, Sanjay Bangar, Zaheer Khan. England: Nasser Hussain (capt), Marcus Trescothick, Nick Knight, Michael Vaughan, Paul Collingwood, Ben Hollioake, Graham Thorpe, Jeremy Snape, James Foster, Andrew Flintoff, Mathew Hoggard, Ashley Giles, Andrew Caddick, Darren Gough. Umpires:
I Sivaram (Hyderabad) and G.R. Mohite (Baroda). 3rd umpire: S.V. Ramani (Chennai). Reserve umpire: T.R. Kashyapan (Chennai). Match-referee: Denis Lindsay (South Africa).

Gavaskar comments There is something about the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium that makes just about every game be it a Test match or a one-day international, a thriller that makes spectators chew their fingernails to the bone! The one-day match between India and England was no different, though on paper the Indian victory looks a comfortable one, but those at the ground knew that it was a real close game. Right since the second tied Test in cricket history in 1986 there have been tense close finishes at the MAC Stadium, there was the opening game of the Reliance World Cup in 1987 when Australia beat India by one run, there was that agonising defeat for India against Pakistan by only 12 runs in a Test match and there was that close finish last year when India beat Australia by just two wickets. So, when India dismissed England for 217 and got off a rollicking start with a century opening partnership, the spectators must have felt that at last they were going to be able to watch an Indian victory without the heart beating faster. But, that was not to be as India played some poor cricket to give England hopes of snatching what would have been a victory, that would also have destroyed the Indian morale for the rest of the series. It took the calm, cool yet gutsy temperament of two youngsters Ajay Ratra and Ajit Agarkar to ensure that India went one-up in the series. Agarkar should have been the man of the match for he had also captured four wickets earlier but there have been innumerable occasions in the past that the popularity of a player, sometimes overshadows the lesser known player and pips him for the award. England once again made a mess of the fine brisk start given by their openers. Many sides have lost the match by trying to score too many in the first 15 overs when the field restrictions are in place. They have lost wickets doing that and so the middle order has had to do a repair job and thus valuable overs are lost. England’s middle order is flabby and so far has looked good only on paper. They should look seriously at Snape coming higher up the order ahead of his more fancied team-mates because he is an uncomplicated player and is high on confidence with the contribution he has made with bat, ball and his fielding. India began the chase as if they were looking to catch a flight. Both, Tendulkar and Sehwag, played some glorious shots through the covers but complacency has been the middle name of Indian cricket for a long time now, and it reared its head when the ball after he got his half century, Sehwag played a careless shot and was caught in the deep. It was as if now that he had secured his place after his earlier failures, he couldn’t care less about the team. The little champion too played a horrific pre-meditated shot and when the ball wasn’t there for the sweep, it looked an ugly way to get out for a batsman of his calibre. Laxman heaved and with that not only lost his off-stump but his place in the squad. Badani was lucky the team was already selected by the time he was out for he was once again unable to capitalise on the dropped chance that he gives every innings before being dismissed. Ratra, it was, who ensured that there was no embarrassment for India by not only playing some fine bold shots but running superbly between the wickets. Agarkar once again showed a cool head like in Cuttack and it is good to see him play sensibly, rather than the cross-batted swipes he is unsuccessful at and which belie the potential he has. It was an important victory, for the next two games are going to be played in wintry conditions at Kanpur and Delhi which may well suit England more than India who are unused to them. Hopefully Laxman’s dropping will send the right signals to those who take their places in the side for granted. |

Tight security for Delhi
tie New Delhi, January 27 DDCA Senior Vice-President
C.K. Khanna said here today that the DDCA, in association with the Delhi Police and its own private security personnel, will keep a strict vigil against black-marketing and selling of bogus tickets. He said approximately 11,000 tickets would be put on sale out which a sizeable number would be in the denomination of Rs 2000 for the DDCA enclosure, and the rest, priced at Rs 250 and Rs 150 for students, will be for the general enclosure. DDCA general-secretary Sneh P. Bansal said though the Ferozeshah Kotla ground has a seating capacity of around 28,000, not more than 26,000 tickets (passes included) would be distributed, due to security considerations. DDCA sport secretary Sunil Dev said the tickets would be sold through select branches of Canara Bank, like Connaught Place, Arya Samaj Road, Lajpat Nagar and Mayur Vihar. The student concession tickets will be sold through the branch near Delhi University. Mr Sunil Dev said complimentary tickets would be issued to non-governmental organisation (NGO)
Prayas, working with under-privileged children, and physically handicapped cricket players. He said Denis Lindsay will be the International Cricket Council (ICC) match referee while
S.K. Porel and A.K. Bhattacharjee would be the umpires. Dr B.K. Sadashiva will be third umpire, and BSP Rao the reserve umpire. The four
co-ordinators—all former Delhi and North Zone cricketers— will be Shrish Srivastava (with the England team), Venkat Sundaram (with the Indian team), Devender Sharma (with the match referee) and Rajan Seth (with the umpires). Raman Vij will be the local manager with the England team while former Test player Gursharan Singh will be attached to the Indian team. London, January 27 The world’s governing body for the game also indicated that it would scrap the three member-panel consisting of Justice Albie Sachs of South Africa and former Pakistani and Australian cricketers Majid Khan and Andrew Hilditch.
Malcolm speed, the ICC Chief Executive, was today quoted by The Sunday Times as saying that the proposed 10-member commission would be expensive, time-consuming and pointless.
“India have raised objections to everyone on the commission, Justice Sachs, Majid Khan and Andrew Hilditch,”
said. PTI |

Indian, Pakistan colts triumph Lincoln, January 27 In the other super league game, Pakistan resisted a brave fightback by Sri Lanka to win a thrilling encounter by five runs. Maninder Bisla shone for India with an unbeaten 68 as India reached 157 for two in reply to the West Indies total of 155. He and opening partner Parthiv Patel (47 in 34 balls) launched the innings in explosive style, hitting 79 off the first 11 overs to set up a one-sided victory for India after just 27.3 overs. Sri Lanka were struggling at 118 for eight in pursuit of Pakistan’s 184, but a ninth-wicket stand of 49 between Chandra Kumara (45) and Dammika Prasad (24) brought the match to a nail-biting finish. Kumara hit a six over square leg off the third ball of the 49th over to leave his side needing just six runs to win in nine deliveries. But two balls later, Kumara attempted to repeat the shot and was caught on the boundary. Super league: India bt West Indies by 8 wickets. West Indies 155-9 (Lorenzo Ingram 43), India 157-2 off 27.3 overs (Maninder Bisla 68 n o, Parthiv Patel 47). Pakistan bt Sri Lanka by five runs.

Australian Open title for Johansson
Melbourne, January 27 The 16th-seeded Swede ruined Safin’s 22nd birthday with some measured counter-punching at Melbourne Park. “Marat played some great tennis, I was really lucky to win,’’ Johansson said. “Oh...And happy birthday. “I have had a great time here...Thanks to the Swedish fans, I wouldn’t have made it here without you,’’ he told the colourful contingent in the crowd. “We are going to have some fun tonight, believe me.’’ Johansson is the first Swedish champion at the Australian Open since Safin’s coach Mats Wilander lifted the trophy in 1988.
His victory was also revenge for Russian Yevgeny Kafelnikov’s victory over Johansson’s Davis Cup team mate Thomas Enqvist in the 1999 final here. After a nervous start, Johansson got down to work and ground out a polished victory to win the title. It wasn’t the birthday present Safin had wanted but he was a big hit with the Melbourne Park fans who serenaded him with a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday’. “Good afternoon to everybody...Thomas played too good today, I couldn’t do anything as we all can see,’’ he smiled after collecting his runners-up trophy and cheque for A500,000 dollars. “I want to say congratulations for a first Grand Slam title...Enjoy this as much as you can, eh? It is an important thing.’’ Looking over at the trio of blondes who have been ever-present in the players box this year, Safin said: “I have to say thank you to all my family sitting over there...Sorry I lost.’’ Ninth seed Safin, the 2000 US Open champion, stormed the first set 6-3 after breaking a nervous Johansson’s serve twice but the Swede fought back to take the second set 6-4, gaining his first service break of the match in the third game of that set. From the start of the second set, Johansson began drawing Safin into longer rallies, confident his rock solid groundstrokes and speedy court coverage were more than a match for Safin’s strong serve. The match began in overcast, humid conditions with the retractable roof over centre court partially closed but the sun later emerged and Johansson appeared more comfortable than Safin in the hot conditions.

Women’s singles title for Capriati Melbourne The American world No1 was a set and 0-4 down before she rallied in brutal heat to win her third Grand Slam crown 4-6, 7-6 (9/7) 6-2 in two hours 10 minutes. It was a case of survival of the fittest with on-court temperatures well in excess of 38 celsius as Capriati courageously wore down the exhausted three-time winner and tournament third seed. Nobody for 46 years had saved a match point to win the Australian title since Mary Carter beat fellow Australian Thelma Long in 1956.
Capriati, who had a tremendous season last year winning the Australian and French Grand Slam titles, repeated last year’s victory over
Hingis. “I really didn’t know if I was going to make it today, I was struggling on court,” said
Capriati, who found it difficult to climb the stairs of the presentation dias on court. “That was the toughest match under the conditions that I’ve played.” “The heat was really incredible out there. We were sitting down after points and taking in water, it was really hot.

Pak down Australia in hockey Kuala Lumpur, January 27 Veteran striker Shabaz Ahmad, 35, making an international comeback after three years, was voted man of the match after scoring a field goal in regular time then setting up team-mate Kashif Jawad to score the decider. Australia, who held favourites Pakistan to a 2-2 draw in their preliminary round game, looked ready to repeat the performance, fighting back from two goals behind to force the match, played at a furious pace throughout, into extra time. Four-time World Cup champions Pakistan took the lead in the opening minutes through skipper Sarwar Muhammad. But Australia levelled score in the 14th minute when Troy Elder scored from a penalty corner. In the 26th minute, Shabaz, the lanky striker, collected the ball in Pakistan’s half and ran unchecked past the entire Australian defence before unleashing a stiff shot past goalkeeper Mark Hickman.
