India cruise to 8-wicket win nairobi, Oct 3
(pti) —Skipper Saurav Ganguly came up with a masterly 66 while a stylish Rahul Dravid played his usual sheet-anchor role by stroking unbeaten 68 as India overwhelmed Kenya by eight wickets in the opening match of the
icc knock-out cup cricket tournament here today. Ganguly, who opened the innings with Sachin Tendulkar (25), made it a no-contest with some breathtaking hitting before Dravid and Vinod Kambli (39) took over the charge to steer India to a comfortable win with 7.3 overs to spare. The win put India in a positive frame of mind going into the second round clash with a formidable Australia on October 7. Defending a modest total of 208 for nine, Kenyan bowlers failed to stop the marauding Indian batsmen, specially the comeback man Vinod Kambli, who made a quickfire 39 not out off 34 balls. Kambli hit a flurry of fours all around the wicket soon after he joined Dravid in the middle at 135 for 2 following Ganguly’s dismissal. The Indian captain had added 88 runs for the second wicket with Dravid after combining with Tendulkar for 47 runs in the first wicket partnership. The Indian victory was long before it arrived as Kenya appeared a beaten side from the start at the Nairobi Gymkhana ground. Left-hander Kambli flayed a listless bowling in his cameo knock of 39 with seven fours. Dravid, true to his self, stayed put till the end hitting seven fours. The tone of the innings was set by Ganguly and Tendulkar, who hit four fours in his 25 runs including a straight boundary that zipped past between Ganguly and the umpire. Tendulkar was unlucky to be adjudged leg-before wicket while playing full forward to Tony Suji. Ganguly was unusually watchful initially, moving to 11 from the first 10 overs but then opened out and hit some amazing strokes. He once strode down the pitch to slam Mourice Odumbe for a six which hit the roof of the media box and then cross batted medium-pacer Lameck Onyango for a six over mid-on. Ganguly paid the price of coming down the wicket too often and fell to Odumbe when wicketkeeper Kennedy Otieno disturbed his bails with the Indian captain way outside the crease. It was an all-round performance by the Indians and it would be difficult to tell what pleased them more, the win or the breathtaking debut by left-arm pace bowler Zaheer Khan. The youngster, who will turn 22 on October 7 when India slug it out with the World Cup champions Australia for a berth in the semifinals, was all fire and brimstone. It is rare to find someone inspire so much confidence that his skipper asked him to bowl the opening as well as the final over. scoreboard Kenya: Otieno c Ganguly b Agarkar 6 Shah c Dahiya b Prasad 60 Kamamde c Dravid b Kumble 18 Tikolo lbw b Kumble 5 Odumbe lbw b Prasad 51 Odoyo not out 35 Sheikh b Khan 0 Modi b Khan 0 Suji c Dahiya b Agarkar 2 T.

Jeev, Amritinder lead the field CHANDIGARH, Oct 3 — Jeev Milkha Singh returns to his home course after a two-year gap to participate in the Rs 10 lakh Hero Golf 2000 Chandigarh Open, the sixth leg of the Wills Sport Golf Tour’s 2000-2001 season, which will be played at the Chandigarh Golf Club from October 4 to 8. The event is being managed by the Delhi based Tiger Sports Marketing. Jointly sponsored three of the Hero group companies, the event will witness some of India’s leading golfers vying for the Rs 1,62,000 winner’s cheque. Some of the big names who can be seen in action this week are, back-to-back winner of this event and defending champion Amritinder Singh, the only Indian representative on the European PGA Tour, Jeev Milkha Singh, ‘Player of the Year’ award winner for the ‘99-2000 season, Mukesh Kumar, leading prize money winner for the past three seasons and winner of this season’s Hindu Open, Vijay Kumar, winner of the Wills Southern Open 2000. Indrajit Bhalotia, Asian PGA tour regular Gaurav Ghei, Feroz Ali, Ali Sher, Shiv Prakash, ‘Rookie of the Year’ award winner for the ‘99-2000 season Harmeet Kahlon, Amish Jaitha, Rahul Ganapathy, Uttam Singh Mundy, SSP Chowrasia, Rohtas Singh, Rafiq Ali, Basad Ali, Digvijay Singh, Amit Dube, Zai Kipgen and Tarun Sardesai. Jeev Milkha Singh has opted out of the Korean Open to play on his home course. The recipient of the Arjun Award in August this year, last played here in the ‘98 edition. At the just-concluded Honda-Siel Nike PGA Championship the Chandigarh-based golfer showcased in brilliant fashion a final day’s score of six-under 66 to finish the event at joint-third spot with Feroz Ali. He is just recovering from a wrist injury that kept him out of the game for over six months. However, his recovery has been rapid and his game is not far from level it was at when he reached a career-best ranking of 25th on the European PGA circuit. The added advantage of his knowing the Chandigarh Golf Club course like the back of his hand makes Jeev a leading contender for the title. Amritinder Singh simply loves this course. The big built golfer, first won this event in 1998 and successfully defended his title last year. A hat-trick of wins in front of his home crowd will be top most on his mind. Amritinder has not had too successful a season so far, but past records will stand witness to the fact that his game raises itself to a different level when he plays at the Hero Golf Chandigarh Open event and especially at the Chandigarh Golf Club. Chandigarh Golf Club hosts one of the prettiest and most challenging golf courses in the country. “The course is in perfect condition with the only change made from last year, being to the fourth green which has been made bigger,” said the PGAI Tournament Director, Mr Sampath Chari. A great deal of effort has been put into the maintenance and upkeep of the course and the credit for this should go to Mr G.S. Sandhu, President of the Club. Brig Santokh Singh, Captain, and Col B.S. Kahlon, Chairman, Tournament Committee, whose combine efforts have earned the Changiarh Golf Club’s course the reputation of being one of India’s best golf courses. |

Punjab cops emerge champs CHANDIGARH, Oct 3 --Runners-up of the 1998 edition Punjab Police snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to lift the coveted trophy in the 30th SN Vohra All-India Gurmit Memorial Hockey Tournament which concluded at the Sector 18 hockey stadium here today. Trailing by a goal till the 69th minute, Punjab Police displayed remarkable resilience to restore parity with only a minute to go for the final hooter thereby extending the match to the tie breaker.In the battle of strokes, the Punjab cops were on target five times while Punjab and Sind Bank muffed one stroke to settle for the runners-up position.Punjab Police had last won the trophy in 1991 when they were joint winners with Chandigarh XI. For Punjab and Sind Bank it was indeed an unlucky day. After dominating the proceedings throughout, they conceded the equaliser off a deflection from a free hit towards the fag end and then lost the battle of strokes to end up at the second position.Today's victory was, in fact,sweet revenge for Punjab Police who had lost to the bank men in the final in 1998. Punjab and Sind Bank,relying heavily on Olympian Sanjeev Kumar, who incidentally was adjudged the best forward of the tournament, commenced the proceedings in a whirlwind fashion, scoring a goal in the opening minute itself. Following a penalty corner, Baljit Singh Chandi shot home leaving rival custodian Manpreet perplexed. Manpreet,a newcomer from SAI Academy, Patiala, nevertheless gave a good account of himself in the tournament and was adjudged the best goalkeeper of the competition. After the early setback,Punjab Police despite being a depleted side in the absence of experienced players like Ramandeep and Baljit Dhillon, began exerting pressure. They forced three penalty corners in the 15th,18th and 32nd minutes which, however, proved abortive. In the second half, Punjab and Sind Bank were again in full cry. Parminder Singh, who had managed to sneak into the 'D' was in an enviable position, but although he attempted a reverse flick,he failed to achieve the desired result. Again, Sandeep Singh who weaved his way into the 'D' after cutting in from the right sent a pass parallel to the goal-line but there was no one to intercept the ball. Punjab Police,on the other hand, shone in patches. Newcomers like Charanjit and Gabbar Singh were instrumental in setting up some intelligent moves with veterans like Jagdev Singh and VP Singh providing the back-up support but a goal eluded them. With time running out and the bank men almost in sight of the title,Punjab Police earned a free hit outside the 'D'. The hit taken by Harmeek was followed up by Gabbar who deflected the ball home sending a wave of joy in the cops' camp. In the subsequent tie-breaker, Baljit Bhullar, Harmeek,Daljit Dhillon, Sukhamritpal Singh and Kulbir Singh converted their strokes for Punjab Police while for Punjab and Sind Bank, Sharanjit, Tejbir and and Pardeep Singh were successful. Rajbir's miss cost the bank men dear and they eventually settled for the runners-up spot,the position which they last held in 1997. The Punjab Governor, Lt-Gen (Retd) JFR Jacob, gave away the prizes.Central Industrial Security Force were adjudged the most well-behaved team. Teams: Punjab Police: Manpreet Singh, Sukhamritpal Singh, Jagdev Singh, Charanjit Singh, Balwant Singh, Kulbir Singh, Surjit Singh, Daljit Singh Dhillon, Gabbar Singh, Baljit Bhullar, Gurmeet Singh, Harinder Singh, VP Singh, Jagbir Singh, Harmeek Singh and Baljeet Singh. Punjab and Sind Bank: Alloysis Edwards, Rajinder Singh, Sharanjit Singh, Pardeep Singh, Sandeep Singh, Rajbir Singh, Devenderpal Singh, Baljit Singh Chandi, Parminder Singh, Sanjeev Kumar, Tejbir Singh, Sandeep Singh,, Harpreet Singh, Kanwalpreet Singh, Ranjit Singh and Teja Singh. Umpires:

Jayasuriya keen to consolidate with win NAIROBI, Oct 3 (UNI) —Former World Cup holders Sri Lanka and the West Indies clash in the second match of the opening round of the $ 1 million icc knockout trophy at the Nairobi Gymkhana Ground here tomorrow with Sri Lanka favoured to go through to the quarter finals. Sanath Jayasuriya will be keen to consolidate on the gains achieved during the home Test series against South Africa this July. Sri Lanka had a disappointing World Cup campaign but the return of coach Dav Whatmore has led to a revival in the team’s fortunes and spirits. With a bulk of the team unchanged for close to five years now, Sri Lanka are along with Australia, the two most experienced teams in this tournament, and that will count for something tomorrow. Marvan Atapattu and Mahela Jayawardene bring solidity to a batting lineup packed with aggressive strokemakers like Avishka Gunawarndene, wicketkeeper-batsman Kumara Sangakkara and Romesh Kaluwitharne, besides the skipper himself. The bowling too has seen a great deal of action with Chaminda Vaas, Pramodaya Wickremasinghe and Nuwan Zoysa backed up by Muttiah Muralitharan and leg spinner Upul Chandana. The wiry Chandana, in addition to his spinning wiles is a more than adequate batsman and is capable of finding a place in any team in the world purely on the basis of his electrifying fielding. Teams: Sri Lanka: Sanath Jayasuriya (capt), Marvan Atapattu, Avishka Gunawardene, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumara Sangakkara (wk), Russell Arnold, Upul Chandana, Muttiah Muralitharan, Kumara Dharmasena, Chaminda Vaas, Romesh Kaluwitharana (wicket-keeper), Nuwan Zoysa and Pramodaya Wickremasinghe. West Indies: Jimmy Adams (capt), Sherwin Campbell, Azeemul Haniff, Wavell Hinds, Sylvester Joseph, Brian Lara, Marlon Samuels, Mahendra Nagamootoo, Courtney Browne (wk), Laurie Williams, Nixon Mclean, Mervyn Dillon, Kerry Jeremy, Colin Stuart. |

Hero’s welcome for Aussie Olympians SYDNEY, Oct 3 (AFP) — Australia honoured its most successful Olympic team in history today with a triumphant tickertape parade through the heart of Sydney. Hundreds of thousands of people lined the city streets to give a hero’s welcome to the athletes who brought home 58 medals, including 16 gold. Office workers leaned out of windows and sent green and gold streamers soaring over the cavalcade, while the crowds on the footpaths waved national flags and yelled out their thanks and support to the athletes. Nearly a thousand members of the Australian Olympic team — 599 athletes and 378 officials — joined the one-hour parade that began under the sails of the Opera House and ended at the city’s Town Hall. Some of the biggest cheers rang out for swim star Ian Thorpe, who was a 13-year-old hopeful standing behind the barricades during the reception for Australia’s Atlanta Olympians four years ago. “I guess things have changed,” he told reporters as he sat in an open-topped car, proudly wearing his three gold medals and one silver medal. “It’s amazing to see how many people have come out to give their congratulations to the Australian Olympic team.” The athletes all expressed their delight at the success of the glitch-free games, and thanked the Australian public for their whole-hearted support of the two-week sporting extravaganza. “These Olympic Games have brought the best out of the athletes and the best out of the country. I’m so proud to be an Australian,” said equestrian Andrew Hoy, a triple gold medallist. Sprinter Cathy Freeman, who lit the Olympic cauldron and captivated the nation with her victory in the 400 metres, was one of many who wanted to thank the supporters who they said helped drive Australia on to a record medal tally. “I just want to let people know how happy they have made us feel by thanking them,” she said. Prime Minister John Howard said the games, which have been widely acclaimed as the best ever, had given Australians a renewed sense of worth. |

Brazil sacks coach after loss RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct 3 (AFP) — Under-achieving Brazilian coach Wanderley Luxemburgo has been sacked — his side’s humiliating loss to Cameroon at the Olympics proving a defeat too far — the president of the Brazilian football federation Ricardo Teixeira announced here yesterday. Luxemburgo (49) was already in the line of fire with Brazil lying fourth in their 10-team World Cup qualifying group, and his fate was sealed when his Olympic line-up lost 1-2 to eventual champions Cameroon in the quarterfinals in Sydney. “That was unacceptable,” said Teixeira, pointing out that Brazil had fallen to a Cameroon side that only boasted nine players. Teixeira did not name a successor but said the national team’s technical director Candinho would step in as coach for the 2002 World Cup qualifier against Venezuala on October 8. “A new coach will be elected after this game,” he added. Teixeira denied rumours that he had asked Cruzeiro coach Luiz Felipe Scolari to step into the post. Other names in the hat according to the local press include Carlos Alberto Parreira of Atletico-MG and Levir Cupi of Sao Paulo. Luxemburgo had said only last Saturday that he had no desire to quit despite a run of mediocre results capped by that Cameroon loss. But on Sunday Luxemburgo, at the centre of a series of scandals including allegations of tax evasion, woke up to a Brazilian press already carrying reports of his dismissal. That followed a two hour meeting between him and Teixeira in Rio the day before. Candinho meanwhile had told Brazilian TV station Globo on Sunday that he had no intention of accepting the position if Luxemburgo had been fired controversially. “If it was a negotiated exit and if Wanderley thinks it’s a good idea, then I’ll step in for that match,” he added. Meanwhile Cruzeiro coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has refused to take over as Brazil coach, Scolari told a press conference. Scolari said at Cruzeiro’s training centre yesterday there were three reasons he did not want to take over the reins of Brazil — To not break his 30-month contract signed with his club — for family reasons — Because of the opposition he would face if he took over the role. |

Rousing welcome for Susanthika COLOMBO, Oct 3 (AFP) —Sri Lanka’s first female Olympic medal-winner, sprinter Susanthika Jayasinghe, today returned home to a rousing welcome and a political storm over her allegations of sexual harassment against a minister. Thousands of people lined the main highway from the airport and offered flowers and garlands to Jayasinghe (24) as she rode in the back of a pick-up truck escorted by armed police along the 35 km drive. “I am glad that even those who opposed and obstructed me are pleased with the medal I won,” Jayasinghe told reporters at the airport. “I hope they will allow me to continue my training so that I win a gold next time.” She was received by Fisheries Minister Mahinda Rajapakse who was also the former head of the Amateur Athletic Association here and a strong backer of Jayasinghe despite her confrontation with the sports ministry. In sharp contrast, Mr Dissanayake had led a similar victory parade for Jayasinghe when she returned to the island after winning silver at the 1997 world championships in Athens. Jayasinghe stopped at several towns along the way and offered yellow ribbons to her fans symbolising a campaign here for free and fair elections at the October 10 parliamentary elections. Jayasinghe wore a yellow ribbon in her 100m and 200m events defying team officials who objected to her making a political statement at the Sydney games. Prime Minister Ratnasiri Wickremanayake criticised Jayasinghe for sporting a “yellow ribbon.” He said she could have beaten Marion Jones to the gold if she had not worn the band. Jayasinghe later dropped a political bombshell at a press conference in Sydney accusing a senior minister of trying to have sex with her and trying to ruin her career after she turned down his advances. The government-controlled Daily News yesterday accused Jayasinghe of talking out of turn at a press conference which the paper said had been called “to fete the gold medallist Marion Jones.” The government-run paper said Jayasinghe had reportedly said: “Find me another country.” However, Jayasinghe today denied she was planning to leave the country and said she was determined to win a gold for Sri Lanka at the next Olympics. For the first time since a sexual scandal broke out after Jayasinghe won silver in the 1997 Athens world championships, she named the minister as being her “sexual tormentor,” press reports here said on Sunday. |

Altitude training key to Ethiopia’s success SYDNEY, Oct 3 (Reuters) — Intensive high-altitude training in the month before the Olympics is the key to Ethiopia’s record haul of four gold medals at the Sydney games, according to team officials. Ethiopian track athletes’ gold medal tally, only bettered by the USA at the Sydney games, was crowned when Gezahenge Abera completed a great tradition for his country by winning the final event, the men’s marathon. “We train high, and compete low,’’ said team doctor Ayalew Tilahun. He was referring to the Ethiopian policy of withdrawing athletes from competition for a month before the games and setting them intensive training programmes at the high-altitude team camp in Addis Ababa. The amount of time we spend training may not change, but the intensity — the speed, the strength workout level — does,’’ said Haile Gebrselassie, who repeated his 1996 Olympic victory in the 10,000 metres. The long preparation and hard work clearly paid off. “When I felt tired during the race, all I could think was, ‘What about all that effort, wasn’t it for this?’’ said Abera. Ethiopia’s Australian haul of eight medals was the largest in its Olympic history but the achievement is not an overnight success story. Four of the 25 distance runners in the team were reigning world champions on the track or cross-country, several others are current or former world medallists and many are repeat Olympians, the veterans being 1992 medallists Derartu Tulu and Fita Bayissa. Ethiopia’s Olympic tradition was begun by the barefoot Abebe Bikila’s marathon victory in Rome in 1960. Bikila’s repeat in 1964 and his team-mate Mamo Wolde’s in 1968 launched high nationwide expectations that surface every four years. Ethiopian athletes have not disappointed, earning medals in every games the country has attended since. Before Sydney, the largest number won was four in Moscow in 1980. The sequence that was interrupted by Ethiopia’s political boycott of the 1976, 1984 and 1988 Olympics was renewed by Tulu’s 1992 gold medal when she became the first black African woman to win an Olympic title, inspiring a new generation of women runners. World-record-holder Gebrselassie’s domination of his events in the last decade have similarly inspired runners and the general population alike. “When I crossed the finish line, what I envisioned was the people of Ethiopia”, said Abera (22), echoing the sentiments of Tulu and Millon Wolde, who took the women’s 10,000-metre and men’s 5,000-metre titles, respectively, the night before. “We heard people in Addis Ababa are celebrating, driving with lights flashing and horns honking”, said Gebrselassie. Olympic campaigns are carefully planned by a task force of national team coaches and Olympic and federation representatives. “We’ve been working on it since last September, as soon as we returned from the African championships”, said Dr Tilahun. The athletes, most of whom belong to clubs associated with government institutions such as the military and police force, stop competing about one month before the Olympics and train in the Addis Ababa camp along with their coaches. “We found that worked very well in Seville”, said the Olympic committee’s General Secretary, Bezabih Wolde. Ethiopia took five medals at the 1999 Seville track world championships — two gold and three bronze — followed by four medals at the World Cross Country Championships in March. |

Dokic in 2nd round TOKYO, Oct 3 (AFP) — Eighth seed Jelena Dokic shrugged off her Sydney Olympic disappointment by beating American Meghann Shaughnessy at the WTA Princess Cup tennis tournament in Tokyo today. “I am actually quite happy with the way I played. There’s a few things I could have done differently, but overall I felt like I was hitting the ball really well,” said the Australian after the 6-4, 6-2 victory. “I was a bit nervous at the beginning, because I had a few days off after the Olympics and I hadn’t played a match, but I think I played quite well. The first match is always the toughest.” In Sydney, Dokic bowed to eventual silver medallist Elena Dementieva of Russia in the semifinlas and failed to win the bronze medal losing to Monica Seles in a playoff. Seventh seed Ai Sugiyama, who lost to Dokic in the first round at the Olympics, also put her disappointment behind her by beating last year’s Wimbledon semifinalist Alexandra Stevenson of the USA 6-3, 6-3. Sixth seed Kristina Brandi will join Dokic and Sugiyama in the second round after the American brushed aside Sylvia Plischke of Austria 6-3 6-4. Thai ace Tamarine Tanasugarn had to come back from 0-3 down in the opening set and save three set points in the second before beating Paola Suarez of Argentina 6-3, 7-6 (10/8) Qualifiers Deja Bedanova of the Czech Republic and Miroslava Vavrinec of Switzerland also got through beating Anna Smashnova of Israel 6-4, 6-1 and Rita Kis of Hungary 6-4, 6-2, respectively. |
