Aussies punish hapless Board bowlers New Delhi, March 6 After the fall of two quick wickets in the morning, that of Michael Slater and Justin Langer, the Aussies settled down to have a nice run feast which culminated in Mark Waugh making a racy 62 (9x4, 1x6), and captain Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting cracking a century each. Steve and Ponting were involved in a rollicking 171-run fifth-wicket partnership, which knocked the sails out of the Board bowling. Australia won the toss and opted to bat on a perfect batting track, but found themselves in a spot of trouble when Slater failed to check his stroke off medium-pacer Rakesh Patel, and spooned a straight catch into the hands of Jacob Martin at cover. Surinder Singh and Rakesh Patel exploited the morning conditions to bowl some quick stuff in the first hour of play, and Rakesh Patel drew blood again when he trapped Justin Langer with a slower ball, as the batsman played half cock. With two wickets down for 35 runs, India looked like gaining a foothold early in the match, but their hopes were dashed by first Test century-maker Mathew Hayden and stylish Mark Waugh who put on 62 runs for the third wicket. Hayden and Waugh banished the medium-pacers from the attack, and Indian captain Saurav Ganguly introduced the spinners to check the run flow. Sharandeep, the most successful bowler of the day with four for 103, bowled well with his flighted balls to fox the batsmen, though he got hit too, for a large number of sixes and fours. Sharandeep forced Hayden to loft one into the hands of Martin for 31 (3x4, 1x6) as the visitors lost their third wicket for 97 runs on the board. But brothers Mark and Steve Waugh stuck together like inseparable twins to hoist a 67-run stand, and then Steve and Ponting went hammer and tongs at the bowling to go on a merry run chase. Perhaps, the day’s script would have been slightly different had not Ganguly floored Ponting at first slip, off Narendra Hirwani, when he was on 46. Hirwani bowled with a tight line and length, but his wickets of Mark Waugh and Damien Martyn may not be enough to ensure him a place in the Test XI. Steve Waugh and Ponting went on to complete their hundreds, and then threw away their wickets with reckless shots. Steve was caught by Surinder Singh off Sharandeep for 109 (191m, 165b, 17x4, 4x6) with the team total at 335, and after the addition of 20 runs, Ponting too went back to the pavilion, caught and bowled by Sharandeep for 102 (157m, 138b, 13x4, 1x6). There was, then, a steady procession of batsmen, in and out of the crease, and at the end of the day, Australia were sitting pretty at 413 for eight, which Steve Waugh felt was 100 odd runs more than what they would have got on a bigger Australian ground. The new ball was taken after 83 overs, with the Australian total at 370 for seven, but the tail continued to wag, and despite Ganguly himself coming on to bowl at the fag end, Michael Kasprowicz ensured that the visitors were not all out, by remaining unbeaten on 27 (42m, 35b, 6x4), with Damien Fleming keeping him company at 4 not out. “All batsmen played well, but the flat wicket and small boundary gave us good value for strokes”, observed Steve Waugh. Steve spoke highly of Ricky Ponting’s batting, and also complimented himself and Mark for their pleasing batting displays. He said the Indian spinners had their moments “but we were concerned with how we were batting”. He said Slater was a big match player, and his cheap dismissal today did not mean much as he would be looking for runs in the second innings. “We want to spend more time in the middle because we would be playing back-to-back Tests”, remarked the Aussie skipper. He was all praise for the bouncy Kolkata wicket which he felt was a good Test match turf. SCOREBOARD Total: 413 for 8 in 90 overs. Extras: 29 (b3, lb9, nb 17). Fall of wicket: 1-25, 2-35, 3-97, 4-164, 5-335, 6-355, 7-357, 8-403. Bowling: Surinder Singh: 16-7-48-0, Rakesh Patel: 14-0-84-2 (13nb), Hirwani: 18-5-96-2 (3nb), Sharandeep Singh: 23-3-103-4, S Sriram: 17-4-63-0, Saurav Ganguly: 2-0-7-0. |

Media over-reacted, says Slater Sydney, March 6 Slater was cautioned by West Indian match referee Cammie Smith for arguing with umpire Srinivas Venkatraghavan and Dravid after Slater claimed a catch. “It just looks so much worse on the TV than it actually was and they chose to play it and play it and play it and just ham the whole thing up,” Slater told a Sydney radio station. “If I’d have been out of hand and what I’d actually said was the wrong thing I would have been reported. “But that doesn’t seem to be enough for the journos, and the analysis and whatever that has been going on has been totally blown out (of proportion).” In the incident that led to the caution, Slater was seen arguing with the third umpire and Dravid. The umpire had ruled Dravid not out after Slater had dived forward at mid-wicket to take a catch. Dravid and fellow batsman Sachin Tendulkar completed a 97-run third-wicket stand but Australia went on to win by 10 wickets. Slater was strongly criticised by newspapers in Australia, which said he had set a bad example. Slater, who said he had chatted amiably with Dravid in the dressing room after play, felt Dravid should have accepted his word and walked. Slater was involved in a similar incident while batting earlier in the match after appearing to edge a catch behind. He did not walk and was ruled not out. The Australian newspaper quoted Australian vice-captain Adam Gilchrist as describing the Dravid-Slater clash as a “minor heat-of-the-battle incident”. “Gilchrist must understand that such bonhomie (between Slater and Dravid) in the dressing room doesn’t address what people saw on their screens around the cricket community,” The Australian said today. The second Test in the three-match series starts in Kolkata on Sunday.

Murali may add to England’s misery Kandy, March 6 Muralitharan helped bowl Sri Lanka to an innings victory over the tourists at Galle in the first Test last month, even though he was not fully fit. While Sri Lanka will be looking to extend their success from Galle to Kandy, historically the venue is not their favourite hunting ground. They have won only twice in 10 Tests played at the Asgiriya Stadium, near here, since 1983, lost five and drawn three. The wins have been against Zimbabwe in 1998 (by eight wickets) and against Australia in 1999 (by six wickets). Both victories were fashioned out by Kandy’s famous cricketing son Muralitharan. He had a match bag of 12 wickets against Zimbabwe and eight against Australia. Skipper Sanath Jayasuriya has warned against a re-run of last year’s Test against South Africa here which the tourists won by seven runs. “We have reminded the players at team meetings of that agonising turn of events,” Jayasuriya said. “They are quite aware of it”. There are nine survivors from that team who are likely to play tomorrow, the exceptions being the now-retired Arjuna Ranatunga and Upul Chandana who has a broken finger. Muralitharan was overshadowed in the first Test against England by Jayasuriya, who took eight wickets in the match with his left-arm spin. Jayasuriya came into the Galle Test with 37 wickets at 42.05 and left it with 45 at 36.67. “I think I bowled well in Galle. My performance there will encourage me to bowl more in Tests,” said Jayasuriya. Prior to this performance Jayasuriya had been a rather reluctant bowler at Test level. “It always happens that when you are the captain you tend to under bowl yourself,” said Jayasuriya. “You try to get the opposition out by using other bowlers. That is what happened. I think there are better bowlers than me and I try to bowl them. That always happens with every captain,” he said. The only worry for Sri Lanka is the injury to middle-order batsman Russel Arnold. The left-hander split the webbing between third and small finger while fielding at practice in Colombo three days ago, and had three stitches inserted to his wound. Arnold is expected to undergo a fitness test tomorrow morning and if he fails to get through schoolboy allrounder Muthumudalige Pushpakumara is expected to replace him and make his Test debut. Despite taking only a solitary wicket, Kumar Dharmasena is expected to retain his place at least for this Test. Left-arm fast bowler Nuwan Zoysa who missed the Galle Test through influenza is fit and will replace young Dilhara Fernando. The batting line up remains the same with Tillekeratne Dilshan retaining his position at number seven. The police has been armed with blankets to cover would-be streakers in this Buddhist temple town. The teams (from): Sri Lanka: Sanath Jayasuriya (capt), Marvan Atapattu, Kumar Sangakkara, Aravinda de Silva, Mahela Jayawardene, Russel Arnold, Tillekeratne Dilshan, Chaminda Vaas, Muttiah Muralitharan, Kumar Dharmasena, Nuwan Zoysa, Muthumudalige Pushpakumara, Dilhara Fernando. England: Nasser Hussain (capt), Michael Atherton, Marcus Trescothick, Graham Thorpe, Alec Stewart, Graeme Hick, Michael Vaughan, Craig White, Andy Caddick, Ashley Giles, Robert Croft, Darren Gough.

‘Ganguly must open with Das’ Mumbai, March 6 The former Indian opening batsman told PTI on the telephone from Baroda: “When Ganguly can open the batting in one-dayers why can’t he do so in Tests as well?” “By opening the batting he will give confidence to young Das as well and if they manage a good foundation then the middle order with Sachin (Tendulkar) and Rahul (Dravid) can benefit a lot”, he said. About Ganguly’s captaincy in the first Test at Mumbai which India lost by 10 wickets, Gaekwad said: “It is quite natural that a big partnership comes up once in a way like Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist did. You cannot solely blame the captain for it”. “However, there is no point in talking about the past and the Indians should regroup and play positively without worrying about the nature of the pitch, like they did the last time around in 1998,” he added.

Pak look for inspiration Christchurch, March 6 Pakistan yesterday plunged to new depths on their tour with an innings and 54 run loss to New Zealand A, the final day lasting just 25 minutes as five wickets fell to pace bowlers Chris Drum and Andrew Penn. The situation worsened overnight, with news from Pakistan that senior players Wasim Akram and Saeed Anwar, plus Azhar Mahmood, were returning home injured. Akram has a side strain and x-rays have ruled him out for a month, Anwar has groin and hip problems and Mahmood has foot and groin injuries. Slightly better news was that injured vice-captain Inzamam-ul-Haq would stay on tour but his groin strain would keep him out of the first Test. Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Tauqir Zia said uncapped opening batsman Taufiq Umer and pace bowler Fazle Akbar, who has played just two Tests, would take two of the newly vacant spots on tour. Experienced middle order batsman Ejaz Ahmed has been tipped to take the third. However, Miandad warned to be wary of his side. He acknowledged their trademark inconsistency and was looking to the Test series as a chance for his players to step up to the big occasion. He said the shock 1992 World Cup semifinal win over New Zealand, before they went on to win the final, was a prime example. “Whenever you lose any game it’s disappointing, especially the way we played,” Miandad said. “But everybody knows about the Pakistan team. I still remember 1992, the way we were playing in the World Cup, once we clicked we took the cup. “If you panic then you just surrender.” New Zealand’s selection convener Richard Hadlee was, meanwhile, forced to accept the inevitable, ruling star spinner Daniel Vettori out, probably for the entire series. He named both legspinner Brooke Walker and allrounder Grant Bradburn as Vettori’s replacements. Hadlee was reluctant to comment on the Pakistani performance but was encouraged from a New Zealand point of view. “It’s done the Black Caps a favour. It means we can go in with a little more confidence, and it’s more of a 50-50 thing than being underdogs,” Hadlee said. New Zealand’s injury worries also stretched to pace bowler Daryl Tuffey, whose right hip problem caused Drum to be called in as backup. Hadlee felt for the touring side but admitted they were familiar concerns for him. “Clearly they’ve got their injury problems, we can sympathise with that because we’d had them all year. “It’s been a difficult eight months. Clearly the results haven’t been what we want but the big thing is that we’re still competitive.”

Abhinav returns oozing with confidence New Delhi, March 6 The minister, who was in her prayer room when Bindra came calling, emerged with a broad smile to greet the young shooter, his father Dr A S Bindra, and Sports Authority of India Executive Director (Team’s Wing) Maj O P Bhatia. “Abhinav is the nation’s pride, and I am confident that he would bring gold from the next Olympics”, said Ms Bharati optimistically. “Our endeavour would be to make him get an Olympic medal. The whole country and the government is behind him. Yeh desh ka garv hai (he is nation’s pride)”, she said. Abhinav showed his proud haul of medals and trophies to Ms Bharati, which included three cups — the Riac, Nissan and Den Haag. The minister disclosed that Abhinav had submitted a package for his training programme for the next three years, culminating in the Athens Olympic Games in 2004, which would cost the exchequer approximately Rs 1 crore. Ms Bharati said she would be calling a meeting of the officials concerned in her ministry, which would be attended by National Rifle Association of India president Digvijay Singh, to take a decision on the package submitted by Abhinav. Among the demands put forward by the shooter is the services of a good foreign coach. He is learnt to have suggested the name of one of the top most coaches in the world, Renkel Meir, who reportedly charges $400 per day, while the government rules would not permit that kind of largesse to be shown to a foreign coach, as its daily allowance to a foreign coach is only $ 190, which can at best go up to $ 250. “But we don’t want to get his (Bindra’s) demand stuck in the files, and if need be, what the government can’t provide, we’ll take the support of Railways, ONGC and industrial houses to give him the best of training facilities”, elaborated the minister. Ms Bharati said if a good foreign coach was brought in, other shootes like Anjali Ved Pathak would also benefit from his services. Abhinav said the European tour was a very good learning experience as he competed in varied climatic and range conditions, against top class opposition. He said the European technique and equipment keep on changing, as they adopted a more scientific approach. Abhinav shot a silver and bronze in his last competition in the circuit at Wiesbaden, Germany, to emerge the “overall European champion”, with an amazing haul of medals. He also won $1,000 in prize money, which he donated to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund for the Gujarat earthquake victims. The young shooter fended for himself all alone during the European circuit, with Genom School of Shooting in Germany as his base, where he had been going for training for the last three years under lady coach Astrid Herbech, who trained him this time too. But now Abhinav has been taken over by perhaps the best coach in the world, Renkel Meir, who has agreed to coach him in short spells. Abhinav will be going back to him in Germany for a 10-day coaching session from March 23 to April 1, in preparation for the World Cup meets in Atlanta in April, at Seoul in May, and at Munich and Milan in June. He spent more than Rs 10 lakh for the European circuit, more than half of which was borne by the government, and the rest by his father. Holder of the junior world record at 596 out of 600, Bindra also equalled the senior record of 598 during the European circuit at Luxumberg, but the senior record will not be ratified as it was not achieved in recognised meets such as the Olympics, World Cup, World Championship and Commonwealth Games. Abhinav’s father, Dr A S Bindra, lamented the lack of support received by the young shooter from the Punjab Government “as recognition for his magnanimous services is still awaited, though the Chandigarh administration has been very liberal in extending help to Abhinav”. The senior Bindra also did not forget the contribution of The Tribune in the growth of Abhinav as a world class shooter, and in his hour of triumph, Abhinav gratefully acknowledged the encouragement given to his fledgling career by the paper at every step, to help him reach the level he has attained now. |

Mohun Bagan down Vasco 3-0 Kolkata, March 6 The irrepressible striker struck for the home team just at the stroke of the interval and then set up the remaining two goals for the other striker R.C. Prakash within a span of three minutes in what turned out to be a rather lopsided contest. Backed by their vociferous supporters, the glamour club unleashed an attacking brand of soccer right from the word go and could have won by a much bigger margin had they not frittered away a number of scoring opportunities that came their way in the fast-paced encounter. The skillful Barreto, who has been very impressive in the league so far, fired the first salvo for the home team just at the stroke of the interval with a brilliant effort much to the delight of his team-mates. The other striker R.C. Prakash, who squandered two scoring opportunities in the first 10 minutes of the contest, made amends by pumping in two goals in quick succession midway through the second session to clinch the issue. With this convincing victory, Bagan managed to consolidate their position on the points table having secured 21 points from 11 outings while Vasco have 17 from as many matches. After muffing as many as three chances in the early stages of the match, the Bagan supporters had something to cheer about when Barreto produced a gem of a goal to give his team a solitary goal lead at the interval. The Brazilian recruit pierced through the defence by outwitting the defenders with deft footwork and gently placed the ball to the right of the advancing Vasco custodian Rogerio Ramos. The green-and-maroon brigade seemed to lose their rhythm to some extent after the breather but the second goal by R.C. Prakash in the 66th minute pepped up the team again as they unleashed a barrage of raids from both the flanks. The second goal was the result of a combined move which saw Barreto and Amitava Chanda split the defence open before Prakash slammed the ball in from close to the goalmouth with none of the defenders in position. Even before the celebrations on the galleries had died down, Prakash struck again three minutes later capping another Barreto-inspired move to consolidate the position for the local giants. MUMBAI: Local outfit Mahindra United shocked fancied Salgaocar Sports Club of Goa 2-1, after the teams were tied one-all at the breather at the Cooperage here on Tuesday. Mahindra’s versatile striker Raman Vijayan put the hosts ahead in the 17th minute when he smartly tapped home winger S Venkatesh’s header following defender Tapan Ghosh freekick though the visitors played a superior and fast game in the first 15 minutes. Mahindra custodian Virender Singh too had a good match and effected two brilliant saves in the first 15 minutes when Salgaocar’s midfielder Jules Alberto tried to score and then thwarted midfielder Climax Lawrence’s attempt to score. Midfielder Covan Lawrence equalised for Salgaocar with a 44th minute goal off winger Dharanjit Singh short pass following striker Bruno Coutinho’s flag kick. Two minutes on resumption, Singh came to his team’s rescue when Salgaocar defender Venancio gonsalves tried to score and the rebound went straight to midfielder Climax Lawrence, who took a shot at the goal but failed to beat Singh. Soon after Mahindra winger Manjit Singh’s try was well saved by Salgaocar custodian Juje Siddi. With 10 minutes to go for the final hooter, midfielder Habib Adekunle scored the all important goal off substitute Bernard Operanozies cross. KOCHI: East Bengal and FC Kochin played a goal-less draw at the floodlit Jawaharlal Nehru
Stadium. With the teams sharing two points, East Bengal maintained their top position in the league table, securing 25 points. FC Kochin kept their second place, one point behind.

Jeev sets putting record New Delhi, March 6 During the £ 1 million tournament which was won by Thomas Bjorn of Denmark after a spectacular blowout by world No 1 Tiger Woods on the final hole, Jeev set a new putting record when he completed his four rounds in just 94 putts, an average of 23.5 per round. The Chandigarh-based professional also holds the Asian record of lowest four-round aggregate when he shot a 26-under 262 during his 1996 Philip Morris Asia Cup triumph in Korea. That bettered the previous record set by Russell Claydon of England during the last year’s Italian Open at Is Molas in Sardinia. Claydon needed 96 putts to complete his round. The Indian ace finished at 17-under with rounds of 67, 66, 67 and 71. He completed his first round with 25 putts, needed just 22 and 21 on the second and third day, respectively, and had 26 putts in his final round. The performance helped him move to No 4 in the European Tour list of average putts per round at 28 putts per round. Tom Gillis of the USA leads the list at 27.6 putts per round. Jeev, who was in the capital for a day en route to Japan, was happy about the achievement. “I came to know about the record only after I completed the round and the European PGA Tour staff started congratulating
me. They first told me that I had bettered the legendary Spanish golfer Seve Ballesteros’s record of 99 putts. Getting better of Seve, especially in short game, is like a dream,” said the 29-year-old star. However, the modest Indian downplayed the record. “The fact is that I did not get too many greens in regulation. But my chipping and putting were solid during the four days which helped me make several up-and-downs. However, a record is a record and I am happy to have my name against it,” added Jeev. “The wrist injury which kept me out for most of last season did one good thing. Putting was the only thing I could practice when my wrist was in a cast. And it has definitely become much better this season,” said Jeev. The Dubai Desert Classic, which boasted one of the strongest fields ever on European Tour, turned out to be a milestone tournament in Jeev’s career. He achieved his fourth best finish on the European PGA Tour, and also retained his card for the rest of the season. Jeev was playing on medical exemption and needed to make 55,000 euros in 11 starts. However, he is now placed 25th in the Order of Merit after 85,399 euros in just seven starts. Jeev will now concentrate his efforts on the lucrative Japanese Tour. “The first goal of the season has been achieved and I am now looking forward to a top-10 finish in Japanese Tour Order of Merit which will give me a direct entry into the final stage of the US PGA Tour qualifying school. I would also like to win one title in Japan and Europe this season,” he added.

Henman coasts into second round Scottsdale (USA), March 6 Henman, runner-up to Australian Lleyton Hewitt here last year, looked sharp with his serve-and-volley game in what amounted to a 54-minute workout on the hardcourts here last night. “It was nice and quick, that’s how you like them,” said Henman. “I knew I had to be on my game and I couldn’t have any complaints the way the match went. “I don’t think there were any aspects of the game I felt disappointed with. There were good points everywhere, and that’s a good sign hard work is paying off.” Third seed Magnus Norman was far less pleased with his game than Henman, but he and fifth-seeded fellow Swede Thomas Enqvist also got off to successful starts. Norman overcame jet lag and pesky veteran Gianlucca Pozzi of Italy to post a 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 victory. “I didn’t play really good today,” said Norman, who arrived in this U.S. desert resort on Friday night after playing last week in Dubai, where he reached the quarter-finals. “I was not hitting the ball very good but I’m very happy to get through.” The oft-injured Enqvist was just happy to be able to hit the ball at all as he returned to competition for the first time since undergoing surgery on his right shoulder and right foot in early December. “It’s been a long time but it’s fun to be back,” said Enqvist, after his 4-6 6-3 6-2 victory over Younes el Aynaoui of Morocco. “I’ve done this a few times, so I’m used to it,” he said of coming back from an injury layoff. “You miss competing when you haven’t been playing for a while, so it was really nice being back out there.” Norman was pleased to see his friend and rival back on court. “It’s great to have Thomas back,” Norman said. “It seems we always push each other. When he’s playing good I want to play good, and when I’m playing good he wants to play good. It’s good for both that he’s back.” Enqvist, who has won at least one
ATP tour title in each of the last six years, played his final match of 2000 at the Stockholm Open in November before enduring his fifth and sixth surgical procedures since 1994. He said everything appeared to be in good working order against the unseeded Moroccan.
