Aussies salvage pride with series win Margao, April 6 Their four-wicket win in the deciding fifth one-day international at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here this afternoon came after a brilliant chase to beat India’s 265 for six, built around a magnificent century by the home team’s find of the series VVS Laxman and a superb 74 by skipper Saurav Ganguly who finally struck form. In the end, the good Indian score was not enough and the visitors won the Pepsi series 3-2 after their 1-2 loss in the Tests. One of the world’s top one-day specialists Michael Bevan anchored the Australian innings with a brilliant unbeaten 87 after a belligerent 76 by opener Adam Gilchrist had set the stage for the assault. For most part of their innings, the Aussies were in total control of the chase, thanks to the wicketkeeper-batsman’s blitzkrieg which came off just 60 balls and included 10 fours and a six. However, Sachin Tendulkar, who could make only 12 runs today, raised the hopes of the hosts with a three-wicket haul for only 35 runs off his 10 overs to become the most successful bowler for India. In the process, the maestro, who became the first batsman to cross 10,000 runs in the shorter version of the game in the third match at Indore, completed 100 wickets in one-day cricket when he had Steve Waugh caught by Ajit Agarkar. Tendulkar, who had earlier got rid of danger man Gilchrist for 76, scalped Darren Lehmann for one and now has 101 wickets from 268 matches at an average of slightly more than 46. However, Bevan, who has blossomed in crunch situations on so many earlier
occasions, stuck to his task stubbornly to guide his side to a well-deserved victory with two overs to spare. Fully realising the importance of his wicket, the left-hander hardly took any risks and hit one six and just four boundaries in his 113-ball knock, the last one being the winning runs. He was provided able support first by Steve Waugh, who made 17, and later by Ian Harvey who remained unbeaten on 25. Earlier, Javagal Srinath struck twice in an over to dismiss in-form Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting after the Australians seemed to be running away with the match during the first 15 overs. Srinath finished with figures of three for 62 from his 10 overs. Earlier, Ganguly chose the big
occasion to return to form, and in the company of Laxman, laid the foundation for a big total the full advantage of which, however, was not taken in the final overs. Ganguly, who had aggregated just 19 runs in this series before the match, took to the Aussie bowling, especially Shane Warne as he grew in confidence with each ball and looked more like his normal stylish self. Ganguly and Laxman batted intelligently after the early loss of Sachin Tendulkar and kept the scoreboard moving at a decent rate. Laxman, who survived a difficult caught and bowled chance by Ian Harvey when on 11, was content playing second fiddle to his captain who came into his own once Warne came on to bowl. Ganguly, who was the highest scorer for India the last time they played here, lifted him twice in characteristic fashion for sixes and reached his fifty soon after which included six fours too. He really got going after that, rediscovering his artistic touch as he sent the Aussie bowlers into desperation. However, a poor umpiring decision cut his innings short abruptly when, while trying to defend himself against a sharply rising delivery from Glenn McGrath, he holed out to Ricky Ponting at short extra cover. TV replays showed the ball was clearly over shoulder height and should have been called no-ball, a question which Ganguly asked the leg umpire only to be confirmed out. He took 83 balls for his 74 and hit nine fours and two sixes. Laxman, who has improved his personal best in limited overs cricket four times in this series, got into the act after Ganguly’s dismissal. With Rahul Dravid in company, he ensured the scoring rate did not go down and kept the strike rotating with singles and twos initially. Laxman really cut loose after reaching his sixties blasting six fours within a space of 20 balls to reach nineties. Dravid, who despatched McGrath for a sweetly timed four off the very first ball he faced, was satisfied taking the singles and giving Laxman the strike. The stylish left-hander from Hyderabad reached his century soon after Dravid was out trying to accelerate the scoring but managing only in giving a simple catch to Steve Waugh off Andrew Symonds. Dravid made 31 off 45 balls. India were going strong at 218 for three in the 40th over when they lost three wickets within a space of 12 runs with Laxman and Badani being dismissed off successive balls from Ian Harvey. Laxman miscued a big heave and Gilchrist took a well judged catch to get rid of him for 101, which included 10 hits to the fence. The very next ball Badani was bowled off a full toss after making seven off 14 balls. That derailed the Indian innings somewhat with new batsmen Yuvraj Singh and Vijay Dahiya trying too hard for big hits but unable to take even singles. It was only after the 48th over that the hosts got some boundaries which enabled them to reach 265 after at one time, looking to score in excess of 290 runs.

Ganguly satisfied with showing Margao, April 6 “Overall it was a great team effort, Ganguly said, summing up India’s 2-1 victory in the Test series and the 2-3 loss in the one-dayers. Ganguly also lauded the performance of Sachin Tendulkar, V.V.S. Laxman, Rahul Dravid and Harbhajan Singh who showed great spirit and merit through the entire tour. On today’s 4-wicket loss to Australia in the fifth one-dayer, Ganguly said India fancied its chances when Sachin Tendulkar took the crucial three wickets but the Australian batsman proved too good in the end. Ruing the lost chances, Ganguly said, “India lost the match in the last 10 overs (of their batting) and the first 15 overs (of their bowling). “I think we did not score enough runs in the last 10 overs and fell short by some 20 runs. We should have bowled better and restricted the Australians in their first 15 overs in which they played the cut and pull game which is their strength,” Ganguly said. “We needed to pick the wickets which we did not... when Tendulkar picked those three wickets in the middle, we fancied our chances but once the ball was changed it took the game away from us.” Referring to the hammering his bowlers took from Gilchrist Ganguly said, “Our bowlers kept feeding them with short balls ... I hope they will learn from this in future.” Ganguly said he was now looking forward to the Zimbabwe tour in June. “We have two months lay off before the Zimbabwe tour and we are looking forward to it. It is also good to have a rest after a gruelling series against the Australians,” he said. The winning captain Steve Waugh said of the victory: “It was a very pleasing result.” “After a disappointing Test series, I think this was a welcome victory for the team and I am also happy for Hayden who scored more than 1000 runs in the series.

Railways crawl to 203 for three Chandigarh, April 6 The wicket on the second day had eased a lot but Punjab skipper Vikram Rathore insisted on using his pace battery and did not utilise his two spinners to good effect. This can be gauged from the fact that the two Punjab spinners, Babloo Kumar and Sandeep Sawal, together bowled only 17 overs where as the pacemen shared 69 overs between them. The Railways owe a lot to Sanjay Bangar, who held one end even as he scored 77 runs off 250 balls in his marathon stay of 391 minutes at the crease. His knock might not have been pleasing but should prove of immense held to his team as the game is delicately poised. The Railways openers Sanjay Bangar and Amit Pagnis started off confidentially after the Punjab innings ended after just 1.3 over of play today. The batsmen were not unduly disturbed by the short stuff sent down by the Punjab speedsters Gagandeep Singh and Vineet Sharma. After a careful start, Amit Pagnis opened up as he struck three consecutive boundaries off Gagandeep Singh. The one through the covers was exquisitely timed. Just as he was shaping up well he was brilliantly caught by substitute fielder Amit Kapria on the fine leg fence. Vineet Sharma was the successful bowler as Pagnis scored 27 runs off 44 balls which included five hits to the fence. Tejinder Singh, who joined Sanjay Bangar, started off in a confident manner as he smashed a full-pitched delivery from Vineet to the square leg fence. Fresh from his knock of 80 against Karnataka in the quarterfinals, Tejinder proved to be an ideal partner to Bangar as he kept the scoreboard moving. The duo was involved in a partnership of 52 runs. At the score of 98, Tejinder lost his concentration and spooned a simple catch to Babloo Kumar off Reetinder Sodhi for his personal contribution of 26 runs with five boundaries. Yere Goud who came in next played with his head down as he played each ball on merit. Having scored a labourious 25 off 96 balls he was trapped in front of the wicket by Reetinder Singh Sodhi on a delivery which kept a shade low. Skipper Abhay Sharma, then joined Sanjay Bangar, who all this while was not disturbed by anything sent down by the Punjab
bowlers. The two put their heads down and prevented any further loss till the draw of stumps as the Punjab bowlers seemed to run out of ideas. For the visitors Harvinder Singh ended with five wickets, the seventh five-wicket haul of his career. Interestingly four of these have been achieved at the same venue.

HP to set up two cricket academies Shimla, April 6 The decision was taken at the meeting of the state executive of the association held under the chairmanship of Mr Anurag Thakur, its president, here yesterday. In the first phase a state-level academy will be set up at Una with all the necessary facilities, including bowling machines. It will also have infrastructure for boarding and lodging of players and indoor training facilities. As many as 16 players in the age group 14 to 19 years, selected from all over the state, will be admitted to the academy in July next. They will undergo training for two to three years. The second academy will be for district-level players to be set up at Bilaspur. It will provide training to players during vacations. In another important decision the association decided to increase the remuneration to players for the Ranji Trophy from Rs 3,000 to Rs 6,000 per match. The prize money for district-level tournaments has been increased from Rs 2,100 to Rs 11,000 and for the state championship from Rs 5,100 to Rs 21,000. Talking to newsmen after the meeting Mr Thakur said the association was making all efforts to develop a cricket stadium of international standards in the state as due to lack of facilities international matches could not be held here. The BCCI had withheld the subsidy of about Rs 30 lakh precisely for this reason. |
Tokyo, April 6 India’s mainstay Leander Paes gave India the expected lead when he made short work of Yaoki Ishii 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 in the opening rubber. It was Paes at his usual ruthless self as he dispatched the hapless Japanese quickly without breaking sweat. But Japanese top seed did the same to India’s Mahesh Bhupathi as he levelled the tie 1-1, routing the Indian 6-1, 6-0, 6-2. Japan, who lost to India 4-1 the last time the two met in 1990, will have to muster their resources to down India’s doubles specialist tomorrow if they are to grab a place in the World Group — the first time since 1985. If they do so, it will also be their first win against India since 1930. History, thus, favours India who enjoy 15 consecutive wins against Japan. Paes-Bhupathi duo also boast of a good record here, having won the Japan Open doubles title here at the same venue in October last year.

DiMarco leaves Tiger Woods behind Augusta (Georgia), April 6 DiMarco, playing in his first Masters, was one shot ahead of Steve Stricker and Argentina’s Angel Cabrera, with two-time US Open champion Lee Janzen, Phil Mickelson and John Huston a further stroke back on 67. Janzen shot up the leaderboard with an eagle at the par-five 15th. Tiger Woods, whose bid to become the first player in history to hold all four of golf’s major professional titles at the same time has electrified Augusta Mational this week, kept himself within striking distance with a two-under 70, sharing 15th place with a group of players that included two-time champion Jose Maria Olazabal of Spain, his compatriot Sergio Garcia, Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn, and former PGA champions Paul Azinger and Mark Brooks. Defending champion Vijay Singh of Fiji one-upped Woods, heading a group of players tied for 11th on 69. Former Masters and British Open champion Mark O’Meara, Jim Furyk and Scott Verplank joined Singh on three-under. Singh capped his round with a 15-footer for birdie at 18. Even with his first-round lead, DiMarco said: “I don’t think the spotlight’s on me. I still feel like everyone is saying `he’s seven-under, but he’ll fade.’” But even if he and his closest challengers, Sticker and Cabrera, were not among the pre-tournament favourites, they were the ones who made the most of the scoring opportunities on offer. Fourteen players broke 70, compared to just two last year. “Every time I got in a tough situation, I never got it on the wrong side of the pin, I never put myself in a situation where the putt could get away from me,” said DiMarco, who had eight birdies and just one bogey, and narrowly missed a 15-footer for birdie at the last. Mickelson, aching to add a major title to his 18 US PGA Tour victories, caught fire with a birdie at the 12th, launching a string of four birdies in a row. He added another at 17 — his sixth birdie of the day against one bogey at 11. “Today was the day to score low,” he said. “The golf course was playing longer than I’ve played it in the past, but because the greens were fairly receptive due to the rain we’ve had, you could get at some of the pins and make some birdies.”

Irina all set for Queen Sirikit Cup Chandigarh, April 6 Back home after her maiden victorious trip to Sri Lanka, Irina was bubbling with enthusiasm as she looked forward to the prestigious Queen Sirikit Cup to be held in Hong Kong from April 10 to 13. Barely three weeks back Chandigarh’s golf icon, Chiranjeev Milkha Singh, had said in an interview with TNS: “Irina is playing so well. She is bound to go places”. For Irina it was a good start. She did not lose a single hole on the first two days of play. She won the strokeplay competition returning three over and two over cards. Vandana finished three strokes behind with cards of two over and six over. Eight players, three Indians and five Sri Lankans , qualified for the final round. Irina defeated Jacky Diaz on the 11th hole, being eight-up with seven holes to go. This was followed by a victory over S. Selvaratnam in the 14th hole, she being five up. Parneeta Garewal, another Chandigarh girl, defeated S. D’Silva on the 14th hole. In the second round, Parneeta’s opponent Vandana Aggarwal, pulled out. The final clash between Parneeta and Irina was a cliff-hanger. Parneeta took the inintial lead.. Irina was two downat one stage. But then Irina drew level with three holes to go. And then she struck one of those bright patches to win the 16th and 17th holes to be two up. The women’s team also clinched the team title. Now the girls, their ego boosted by this Lanka win, are eager to put their best foot forward at the Hong Kong golf course in the Queen Sirikit Cup. Irina is hopeful of the team doing well. “We are playing very well and we should make it”, was her refrain as we wound up the interview. Irina, who is a sports apprentice for Indian Oil, made the trip to Lanka courtesy Indian Oil. This golfer has done well in her studies. She topped in the Plus I examination securing 86 per cent marks. Her Principal, Mrs P. K. Singh, has allowed Irina to take special leave for the golf tours. |

IHF, IWHF set for merger Patiala, April 6 IWHF sources confirmed that the women’s body had already given its consent to the merger in its general body meeting held in January this year, while the IHF will formally ratify the merger at its general body meeting scheduled to be held at Bangalore on April 16. The merger is being effected at the insistance of the International Hockey Federation
(FIH). Mrs Vidya Stokes, President of the IWHF, who was at the National Institute of Sports
(NIS) here in connection with selection of the Indian team scheduled to take part in the junior Women’s World Cup to be held at Aires (Argentina) in May, said some minor technicalities which had surfaced during talks for the merger had now been ironed out. She also confirmed that from now on, a representative of the IHC will be taking part in meetings of the
FIH, although to conduct domestic-level tournaments, both the IHF and IWHF will retain separate
identities. Mrs Stokes said that she and Mr K.P.S Gill, President of the IHF had worked out an arrangement , wherein the IHF chief will be the President of the IHC for the first year while she would be the Executive President. For the second year Mrs Stokes will become the President of the IHC while Mr Gill will become the Executive President. Mrs Stokes clarified that since Mr Gill was in the fray for a post on the executive board of the
FIH, the election of which is scheduled to be held at Brussels (Belgium) on April 21, it was only in the fitness of things that Mr Gill hold the post of President of the IHC for the first
year. Mrs Stokes said after the Sydney Olympics, the FIH was intimated about the merger, but now the same is being given concrete form keeping in view any legal ramifications the IHC may have to face from the
FIH. |

Hardip takes JCT to victory Ludhiana, April 6 Once again it was the mercurial Hardip Gill who turned out to be the
saviour. His opportunistic strike in the 60th minute, the only goal of the match, fetched the Phagwara outfit another three points thereby boosting their tally to 15. JCT still have four matches in
hand, including two home ties, and a couple of more victories will push them further up the ladder dispelling fears of relegation which have been haunting them for quite some time. State Bank of Travancore sorely missed the services of MAM Abdul
Haki, who is now in the national camp at Bangalore in preparation for the World Cup qualifiers due to begin shortly .Although the experienced Asif
Sahir, Ignatious and VP Shaji did try to make up for his absence, yet their moves lacked cohesion. From the opening minutes, it seemed as if it was only a matter of delaying the inevitable as JCT launched a flurry of raids at frequent intervals. However, the millmen had to wait till the second half for taking the lead as on several occasions their efforts came to nought with the ball striking the
bar. JCT’s attacks initially came through Hardip Gill and Jaswant. Stopper-back Ranjit Singh also moved up at times and on one occasion his header off a flag kick saw the ball striking the upright. The SBT goal escaped some close calls towards the end of the first session. First the laborious Jaswinder set up a move for Hardip Gill who wasted no time in putting Ram Pal in possession, but Ram Pal’s header again struck the upright. Thereafter,
Jaswant, who effectively marshalled the left flank, despatched a lob after goalkeeper Rajeev Kumar had moved out of charge but the ball narrowly missed the corner of the goalpost after one bounce and went over the goal-line. The second half again saw JCT in command. An excellent cross by Jaswant from the left went waste as Sukhjit failed to connect inside the box. However, Sukhjit did try to make amends soon after with a back volley but unluckily the ball struck the
horizontal. SBT went on the offensive through Asif Saheer but his piledriver was easily collected by Arvind Kumar under the JCT bar. JCT’s sustained efforts bore fruit in the 60th minute. Following a throw-in by wing back Daljit Singh, Hardip Gill intelligently controlled the ball and cut through a horde of defenders before despatching a powerful grounder to the far corner of the goal giving custodian Rajeev Kumar absolutely no chance. The goal spurred JCT to mount more pressure. Hardip Gill, through a solo effort, set up an excellent move for medio Harinder but his back pass only saw Harinder sending the ball high over the bar. Towards the fag end,
Jaspreet, who had replaced Jaswant, sent a lob into the rival territory and substitute Jagjit Randhawa raced to trap the ball. Sensing danger, SBT custodian Rajeev Kumar also advanced out of charge and injured himself in the process. Today’s defeat, the ninth for the bank men, has jeopardised their chances of keeping their place in the league next year as they are now placed at the bottom of the 12-team table. |

Mumbai, April 6 Sabbir Ali Mondal in the 30th minute, grabbed a loose ball and shot home from close range to post Air- India’s second win over Mahindras in the league. Mahindras’ utter failure to head home at least four good crosses and centres, was the major factor in their loss. They at 18, are only one point ahead of the victors. Both have two matches to go. The goal was probably the only big mistake of Iranian defender Gholam Reza, who failed to block a cross from Henry Picardo, which took the inexperienced reserve goallie S. Rajan by surprise. It resulted in him juggling with the ball and finally letting it drop near the feet of Mondal.
