Venus, Henin win, enter semis
London, July 2 After players and fans had battled the wet weather throughout the day, organisers called a halt to proceedings after the third suspension of play at 7.05 pm (1805GMT). Australian Mark Philippoussis and 1996 champion Richard Krajicek were the biggest victims of the abandonment, as their fourth round match was forced into a second day with the big-serving rivals level at two sets all. They will return for the deciding set, weather permitting, on Wednesday, with a quarterfinal meeting with Belgian Xavier Malisse the reward for the winner. Light rain throughout the morning meant that organisers delayed the start of play for two hours until 2pm (1300 GMT). When the rain relented, world No1 Venus Williams trounced Russia’s Elena Likhovtseva 6-2, 6-0 in just 47 minutes in their quarterfinal match on centre court. Malisse then ended British No 2 Greg Rusedski’s dreams of Wimbledon glory by winning the final set of their delayed fourth round match in just 32 minutes. Bad light had stopped their clash just before 9pm on Monday night with the game tied at two sets all. Malisse broke Rusedski in the seventh game to win 3-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 and he awaits either Krajicek or Philippoussis in the last eight. Last year’s runner-up Justine Henin beat fourth seed Monica Seles for the first time in her career 7-5, 7-6 today to reach the semi-finals. Having lost their previous four match-ups, Henin fought tigerishly throughout the rain-interrupted centre court match to end nine-times Grand Slam winner Seles’s chances of a first Wimbledon crown. The Belgian sixth seed is rewarded for her heroics with a semifinal against Venus Williams — her conqueror in last year’s final. After two earlier interruptions for rain, Krajicek, the Dutchman, managed to force the contest into a fifth set before the heavens opened again. Philippoussis had chances to win it on Tuesday evening but settled for a 7-6, 6-7, 7-6, 6-7 scoreline. Number three seed Jennifer Capriati was able to beat the showers to cruise into the quarterfinals. Her fourth round match with Greek Eleni Daniilidou was interrupted on Monday at one set all, but Capriati ploughed through the decider to finish off a 6-1, 3-6, 6-1 win. The American meets Frenchwoman Amelie Mauresmo in the quarterfinals. Forecasts predict more heavy rain for Wednesday.

Qureshi unfazed by ban threat
London, July 2 The Pak-Jew pair continued to dominate the circuit before bowing out in the third round with a 6-1 7-6 (7-5) 6-4 defeat to seventh seeded Czechs Martin Damm and Cyril Suk yesterday. In a defiant mood, 22-year old Qureshi, whose grandfather was an All-India Champion in the days before partition, has made it clear that he would put his friendship with Hadad above his allegiances to the Pakistan Tennis Federation. Asked how he would respond to a ban, he said: “That would be their (the federation) own loss. If they want to stay in the lower levels, that’s fine. “I’m going to stay and play for them, but if I believe I could do well with Amir in the big events, the Grand Slams, I’ll stay and play with him. Why not?” he was quoted today by the Daily Telegraph as saying. Qureshi’s choice of doubles partner has caused a furore in Pakistan, spawning hate mail from Islamic radicals and condemnation from the government. Brigadier Saulat Abbas, director of the Pakistani Sports Board issued an “official condemnation” of Qureshi for playing with an Israeli. “An explanation has been sought from him. Since Pakistan has no links with Israel, Qureshi may face a ban”, he said. The pair, who only narrowly qualified for the Wimbledon, surprised everyone by reaching the last 16 of the doubles event and becoming crowd favourites along the way. They eventually lost yesterday but the losers’ cheque of £ 8,090 will help them overcome their disappointment, the report said. PTI

England pull off a brilliant win
Headingly, July 2 Sanath Jayasuriya’s blitzkreig century, which helped Sri Lanka post a mammoth 240 in 32 overs in a rain-curtailed match, was nullified by the brilliant efforts of Marcus Trescothick, Alec Stewart and Paul Collingwood as England completed one of the finest run-chases ever. England, who had won the toss and put the opposition in to bat, reached 241 for seven with four balls to spare to register their second win in three matches. England’s victory was made possible by a superlative knock from Trescothick, who made a 60-ball 82 with 11 fours, and a 66-run seventh wicket partnership between Stewart and Collingwood, both of whom scored 38 with Stewart remaining unbeaten. England scored at more than eight runs an over despite the early loss of opener Nick Knight and regular fall of wickets thereafter. But Trescothick never lost his cool and scored at a brisk pace without taking too many risks. The most remarkable aspect of his batting was there was absolutely no slogging and all his runs came off perfect cricketing strokes. England had lost four wickets, including that of their captain Nasser Hussain who failed to score, for just 98 runs and it was an extremely uphill task after that. But Trescothick, first in the company of Graham Thorpe (15) and then Collingwood, fought bravely and brought the asking rate down to around 6.5 runs an over. The left-hander picked a boundary in almost every over and a couple of singles and twos following it kept England in the hunt. The hosts were also helped by some insipid bowling performance by the Lankans who erred in line much too often. When Trescothick fell at the total of 171 in the 22nd over, caught by Chaminda Vaas at long-on off Jayasuriya, England needed another 70 runs from 65 balls. Sri Lanka required just one wicket to get to the tail of England batting and they looked to have gained the upper hand. Sri Lanka: Jayasuriya c Kirtley b Hoggard 112 Kalu c Hussain b Gough 7 Atapattu c Stewart b Flintoff 18 Jayawardene b Flintoff 4 Gunawardene run out 20 Chandana lbw b Gough 30 Arnold not out 17 Vaas b Gough 4 Sangakkara not out 1 Extras (lb-11, w-13, nb-3) 27 Total

Rahul Dravid in new avatar Chandigarh, July 2 But keeping has not come easy for the Karnakata batsmen, who finds it more comfortable to stand in the slip area while fielding. Dravid has kept wickets off and on but it was only in the last series against the West Indies in the Caribbean when he was asked to become the ‘‘regular’’ keeper of the Indian squad. So far he has kept wickets in 14 of the 173 one-day matches he has played in but now the way things are gong it would not come as a surprise if he is asked to don the gloves every time India plays a limited overs match and the likes of Ajay Ratra and Parthiv Patel, it seems, will have to cool their heels in the dressing room for some more time. Playing Dravid as a wicketkeeper given the Indian team management a lot of options. For one, India can play either an additional batsmen or an additional bowler, medium pacer or spinner, as the situation demands. In England, for example, the Indian batting order ran right up to number seven. Going by all indications Dravid will have to keep in at least two dozen matches from now till the World Cup, including a home series against the West Indies where the chances of injury is all the more thanks to the uneven bounce of the Indian strips. That Dravid would have to bear the additional load of wicketkeeping was known to the Indian vice-captain even before the team left India. There are reports that Dravid underwent coaching in keeping at the hands of former Indian stumper Kiran More. And the training has obviously paid off, at least so far. But if that be so what was the reason for inducting two wicketkeepers in the team? So far Dravid has done a good job behind the stumps. But what happens when he drops a vital catch? From hero it has taken just a second to become a villain, at least in Indian cricket. But then for someone like Dravid who has been in international cricket for so long taking pressure whether batting, or keeping, is not something new. And in any case he looks far more confident than Deep Dasgupta will ever be. On the flip side, it is quite likely that Dravid by agreeing to keep wickets has given himself a longer stint in one-day cricket specially with so many youngsters knocking on the doors for international recognition! |

Daily goes ga-ga over Sachin
London, July 2 Stating that in India, where cricket is nothing short of a religion, The Daily Telegraph, in an article titled “talking sport” maintained that “Tendulkar is the anointed leader and there are few sportsmen who can match his global stardom. “Beckham? Ronaldo? Tiger Woods? They don’t even come close — Tendulkar is in a different league. “Where Tendulkar is concerned, think Muhammad Ali or Pele. I’ve met both and Tendulkar is equal to their stature. All three possess that indefinable ‘something extra special,’” wrote Sybil Ruscoe, in her article. “Tendulkar has an immense physical skill and a litany of statistics as indisputable proof of his status as one of the all-time greats,” she wrote. But greatness really comes down to how the man handles it. “Does he wear it well, with dignity, humility and - even humour? Does he carry the burden of greatness with a light heart and smiling eyes? With Tendulkar, like Ali and Pele, the answer is unequivocally ‘yes’”, the article said. Referring to the master batsman’s interaction with journalists at Lord’s, she said “what was so refreshing about Tendulkar was his lack of swagger, his intelligence and willingness to speak so honestly. “In an age when agents and media trainers can tutor sports stars, Tendulkar seems a unique individual. He appears to have resisted any kind of corporate moulding or spin-doctoring and remains his own man.” She quoted Tendulkar as saying “at home it’s difficult to go out to parks with my wife and kids. I just can’t really do that in India. But it’s something I can always do here in England, so I’m really looking forward to that.” Ruscoe wrote Tendulkar, though, is aware that he holds a special place in the hearts of British Asian cricket fans who turned up in thousands during India’s triangular series matches against England and Sri Lanka at Lord’s and the Oval at the weekend. “We cricket fans can think ourselves blessed this summer that there is a star in our midst,” she concluded.

West Indies grab two late wickets
St George’s July 2 Batting steadily towards a series-winning draw and drawing ahead of the West Indies at 117 for none, New Zealand first lost opener Lou Vincent for 54 and then captain Stephen Fleming for five just 16 balls later. The day closed with New Zealand 42 runs ahead with eight wickets in hand. With his pacemen getting no joy, Hooper called on occasional off-spinner Ramnaresh Sarwan, who bowled two very slow deliveries before pushing through a 100 kph yorker that bamboozled Vincent and clean bowled him for 54. Just 16 balls later Hooper persuaded Fleming to play his bat too far in front of his body and he edged the ball to Brian Lara for five: New Zealand were looking nervous at an effective score of 35 for two. The match ended with fielders clustered around the bat but opener Mark Richardson, who scored 95 in the first innings, was 69 not out accompanied by Chris Harris, on six. West Indies were bowled out in their first innings for 470 just before lunch, losing five wickets in the first session of the day as they sought to build a big lead over New Zealand’s first innings 373. The West Indies’ 97-run first innings lead was gradually whittled away by Kiwi openers Mark Richardson and Lou Vincent, who batted slowly through one and a half sessions in a 117-run stand. The day started with the West Indies on 394 for five and looking to score around 550 to try to force a last-day victory and level the two-match series after New Zealand won the first test in Barbados by 204 runs. Opener Chris Gayle was dismissed late on Sunday evening after scoring a career-best 204 but the pace bowler struck with the very first ball of the morning to remove the last recognised batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul, for 51. Wicketkeeper Ridley Jacobs and spinner Mahendra Nagamootoo put on 46 for the seventh wicket, with the spinner smashing three sixes in a delightful cameo innings of 32 before Jacobs fell to Ian Butler and Nagamootoo was caught behind from the bowling of Scott Styris. Styris ended with two for 88 to add to the century he scored on his test debut for his country. Dismissed shortly before lunch for 470, a lead of 93, New Zealand started solidly and the West Indies seamers had little success on the flat and low wicket. Vincent was dropped twice when he was on two, however, Gayle dropping him at third slip and Hooper at second slip. At tea New Zealand were 74 for none and the run rate picked up in the first hour after tea as the tourists overhauled the West Indies first innings score. New Zealand (1st innings): 373 West Indies (1st innings): 470 New Zealand (2nd innings): Richardson batting 69 Vincent b Sarwan 54 Fleming c Lara b Hooper 5 Harris batting 6 Extras (lb4, nb1): 5 Total (for 2 wkts, 71 overs): 139 Fall of wickets: 1-117, 2-132. Bowling: Cuffy 7-2-12-0, Collins 12-6-16-0, Sanford 11-2-24-0, Nagamootoo 19-8-31-0, Hooper 14-3-37-1, Gayle 5-2-6-0, Sarwan 3-0-9-1. AFP

Miller retires Sydney, July 2 The cricketer who played for Australia in 18 Tests picked up 69 wickets at 26.15 with his off spin and medium pace. Announcing his retirement, Miller said it was unfortunate that the time had come for him to withdraw from the game. “It will be hard to bid a final farewell to first-class cricket because the game has meant so much to me for such a long time. “But my time has come and I will hold on to the magnificent memories from 17 years of first-class and international cricket.” He said he did not have any regret as “I have made the most of my opportunities and I have had some great highlights along the way.”

Cricket
stadium at Annandale Shimla, July 2 Stating this at a press conference here today, Mr R.R. Rohi, general secretary of the association, said that although construction of a stadium had already commenced at Dharamsala for which a Rs 4.09-crore contract had also been awarded. However, the effort would be to have a stadium at the erstwhile summer capital of India at the earliest so that international matches could be hosted there. If needed it would even truncate the Dharamsala project to achieve this. Besides, the association would also seek special grant from the Board of Control for Cricket in India on the pattern of Tripura. Referring to cricket infrastructure development in the state he said the association had been able to set up cricket academies in all the districts, which was a remarkable achievement. The step has started yielding results as at least two players in each group were being selected from the state for various national camps. Some of them did exceedingly well in domestic cricket. Encouraged by the success of district academies the association had now decided to set up their sub-centres at the sub-divisional level. In the first phase such centres would be opened at Paonta Sahib, Sundernagar, Nadaun and Palampur. Besides, it would distribute 1500 bats and balls to village clubs to help develop the game at the grassroots level. Besides, Dharamsala, a cricket stadium was also under construction at Bilaspur at a cost of Rs 20 lakh. |

Religion
behind Brazil’s success
Rio de Janeiro, July 2 Brazil’s fifth World Cup triumph in Yokohama on Sunday after their 2-0 win over Germany in the final was followed by the whole Brazilian delegation saying a collective prayer on the pitch before going on to hoist the trophy. Amid the joyous scenes several of Brazil’s players took off their tops to reveal T-shirts with colourful tributes to Christ and Jesus. In another touching moment, two-time champion Cafu was thrust onto a pillar to raise the World Cup while his team- mates scribbled a religious message on the front of his top.
However, it was reported here yesterday that Brazil’s players are just a few of the country’s sports figures who are part of an ever-growing Evangelical movement which can boast Assiria Nascimento, the wife of Brazil legend Pele, as one of the stars of popular Gospel music. The “Assembly of God” Church can boast 4.5 million followers while the “Universal Church of the Kingdom of God” has two million followers - just two of the movements who are gaining ground on the traditional Catholic Church. Although it is hard to say how many of Brazil’s World Cup team are members, according to weekly ‘Veja’ the “Association of the Athletes of Christ” - founded by ex-racing car driver Alex Dias Ribeiro - now has 10,000 followers, including half of the Sao Caetano top flight football team. “The climate in the world of sport has become less hostile since the creation of the Association of the Athletes of Christ,” affirmed Ribiero. Former Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira confirmed: “Generally the players (who are members) have a much healthier way of behaving and a more positive attitude than the others,” he said in Veja. Evangelists, whose yearly income of $200 million comes mainly from the sale of music and books, also attract people from a wide social spectrum, which has led many politicians to court their attention near to election time. Gospel music is a big hit in Brazil, with five new CD’s on average hitting the shelves every month. AFP

Golden Ball for Kahn
Tokyo, July 2 But today, Kahn got some consolation: He edged the striker in a poll to be named player of the tournament. Kahn garnered a total of 147 media votes against Ronaldo’s 126 to win the Golden Ball Award. Hong Myung-bo, captain of co-hosts South Korea, finished third with 108 votes. The Golden Ball Award, sponsored by German sportswear maker Adidas, is meant to recognise the outstanding individual player during the World Cup tournament. Bayern Munich player Kahn - whose exploits during the World Cup earned him the unofficial title of “Best Goalkeeper in the World” in countless sports stories - looked devastated after Germany’s 2-0 loss to Brazil on Sunday. It was a Kahn fumble in the beginning of the second half that allowed Ronaldo to charge into the penalty area and net the first goal. After the match Kahn slumped into the goal he’d protected so well throughout the tournament, his shoulders cradled by the net. Ronaldo wept with joy. Ballots were cast by journalists who were present at the World Cup third-place game between South Korea and Turkey played at Daegu, South Korea, and the final between Germany and Brazil at Yokohama, Japan. The award was announced on the FIFA World Cup web site. AP

Golf course through hill & dale Chandigarh, July 2 And this dream nine-hole golf course is barely 5 km from Punjab Engineering College, just beyond Naya Gaon. This course would have been just the right place for Jeev Milkha Singh to have a training stint before playing in his first US Open. A session here would have put him in just the right shape to take on the challenging course in the US Open. Designed by the famous American golf architect Ronald Freame and an associate Col K.D. Bagga of the Golf Management Group the golf course is unique as each fairway is at a different level. The cry of the peacock was loud and clear as The Tribune team arrived at this Forest Hill Golf and Country Club Resort. The undulating golf course seemed to embrace the sky amid interesting natural terrain. In the distance the hills appeared shaggy with dry lantana bushes. We are told this was the condition of the hill and dale before the “operation golf course” began. What a contrast to the distant hills. The transformation came about in barely two years. This NRI project has had to face so many hurdles over the past four years that it mocks at the “single window” selling our ministers do to win NRI support on their free junkets abroad. Chandigarh is home to famous golfers like Jeev Milkha Singh, Jyoti Randhawa, Irina Brar. And this FHR golf range and academy should provide the right place for proper grooming, being probably the most challenging courses in India. Mr Devinder Sandhu, Senior Director, Forest Hills Golf and Country Club Resort, said: “We are hopeful Forest Hill will be on the international golf circuit soon”. The course boasts of roller coaster greens, gleaming white sand bunkers and two shimmering water bodies. It seems this new course has taken decades to develop. Keen and prominent golfers who have played on the course call it “our very own Bethpage”. The Bethpage in New York, was host to the 2002 US Open. It was difficult even for the eventual champion Tiger Woods to play on the course because of the undulation of the course and the windy conditions. The grass for the greens has been imported from Arizona, USA. The fairways are laid out with special variants of the Tif
dwarf. There are two water bodies or lakes which are located at different elevations. These lakes are rainfed. From the first hole , the pro realises it is no typical golf course. In this par-four opener a stormwater drain runs along the hill on the left of the fairway and a lake to the right. The drive should be right of the centre of the fairway to get a good view of the green for the second shot. A 50 -ft gorge with water greets the player in the three-par second hole. Watch out, a stormwater drain runs along the far slope, which can trap the ball if it is hit over the green. The four-par third hole has a stormwater drain on the left and a big fairway bunker, 100 yards from the green on the right. Then comes the fourth hole, a long par four laid in a narrow valley giving the strong winds a tunnel effect. Avoid the water hazard on the right. The fairway bunkers on the left should be avoided for the second shot. A 30-yard wide gorge on the fifth hole, a treacherous bunker just short of the green on the sixth hole and a 40-yard wide lake on the seventh hole add to the challenges faced on this unique course. The par three eighth hole has two bunkers and an undulating green which has a stiff slope to the top. The ninth hole is the most challenging par five with two doglegs. A modern clubhouse built in the Latin hacienda style, blending well with the surroundings, is located at a higher level. From here one can have a wonderful view of the fairways, lakes and the greens spread below. A 60-seat multicuisine restaurant and a fully equipped bar and informal lounge complete the formalities. For those who want to learn the game the academy will offer a complete and modern coaching centre. The young and the old alike will have the chance to learn the basics from the pros. “We are looking for professionals on a permanent basis for our academy”, said Mr Sandhu. |
