Aussies
humiliate England by 8 wkts
London, June 21 Needing 177 to win the last round-robin match of the competition, Australia reached the target from just 30.1 of their 50 overs, with Gilchrist (80) and Ponting (70 not out) sharing a second-wicket partnership of 124 from 137 balls. England, dismissed for 176 after Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee led the destruction by sharing five wickets, lost all six of their matches in the competition. That followed five one-day losses in a row on their winter tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Although the result of the game was academic because Australia and Pakistan have already reached Saturday’s final at the Lord’s, Steve Waugh’s side were quick to win a few more psychological points ahead of the Ashes series starting on July 5. “Not too much has gone to plan,” said England skipper Alec Stewart. “We are not going to get it right overnight.” Waugh responded: “We are playing some pretty good cricket but we are not at 100 per cent. The next game is the important one.” Having skittled England for 86 in their day-night encounter at Old Trafford last week, the Australians offered little respite here after the home team had won the toss on a fine and sunny day in good batting conditions The tone for Australia’s combative out-cricket was set by McGrath. He bowled his opening burst to a close field of four slips and a gully that gave the limited overs contest the feel of a Test match, and he struck with the sixth delivery of the game which Marcus Trescothick played down into his stumps. Such were the shackles imposed by McGrath and Damien Fleming that England were restricted to one run in the first five overs, before skipper Alec Stewart and Nick Knight grew more assertive, both with their running between the wickets and their strokeplay as they repaired the early damage by completing a half-century stand in the 15th over. However, Australia checked their progress as Lee removed Stewart for 22 when the England captain drove him to Michael Bevan in the covers, and Ian Harvey accounted for Owais Shah for one, the batsman caught behind off an outside edge from a delivery that left him a shade. Australia plunged England into further trouble when Alistair Brown, trying to defend against a lifting ball from Lee, succeeded only in deflecting it off his glove to Ricky Ponting in the gully. He also made just one and his side had declined to 59 for four in the 19th over. When McGrath returned for his second spell he earned immediate reward as Paul Collingwood, on nine, drove loosely and edged to Harvey at first slip. Once Knight fell to Fleming for 48 off 81 balls to reduce England to 109 for six, their prospects of setting a demanding target were in tatters, although Caddick helped to provide a spirited late flourish by hammering his one-day best of 36 off 44 balls. Australia subsequently completed their smooth march to victory for the loss of Matthew Hayden for eight, ending a lean personal tournament in which his previous scores were 0 and 0, and Gilchrist when they were on the brink of success. Gilchrist, who reached his half-century from 54 balls, and Ponting, who took only 45 deliveries to get to the same landmark, quickly banished any England thoughts of a victory against the odds with a compelling range of strokes. They raised their 100 stand from 97 balls, and when Gilchrist fell to a return catch by off-spinner Robert Croft he had made his runs off 90 deliveries and hit 14 fours. Ponting’s unbeaten 70 came from 71 balls, containing eight fours and two sixes.

Indians meet Zimbabwe A
Harare, June 21 India’s one-day specialists Reetinder Singh
Sodhi, Virender Sehwag and Harvinder Singh, who joined the rest of the team yesterday, would use this opportunity to stake claim for a berth in the one-day squad. The match would also help the Indian batsmen, who disappointed by their poor performance in the second and final Test at Harare, gain confidence on the fast and bouncy pitches here. Indians would be relieved somewhat by the news that Andrew Flower has been ruled out of the entire triangular series with a broken right thumb. He was hurt while collecting the very first ball Andy Blignaut sent down on the fourth morning of the second Harare Test which Indian captain Sourav Ganguly let go outside the off-stump. Flower’s absence will rob the series of much glamour since it was expected he, along with Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara would provide a three-way contest for batting honours in the series. In the absence of the gifted wicketkeeper-batsman, Tatind Taibu is set to make his international debut for Zimbabwe and he should have a useful practice game against the visitors. Paul
Strang, the leg-spinner and a utility batsman, is in Zimbabwe A team for tomorrow’s game and after being ignored for the Test series, is keen to make an impression on the selectors. Also in reckoning would be Bryan
Strang, a left-arm medium-pacer. The Indians, meanwhile, had a practice session and a work-out in the gym today. Skipper Sourav Ganguly left with Sodhi and team’s physio Andrew Leipus for the CFX Academy ground early this morning for the nets. The rest of the team followed them along with coach John Wright two hours later and the squad had practice right in the middle of the ground, on the wickets at the
square. Tendulkar, who is taking it easy and does not want to strain his hamstring, had a few knocks in the middle. Delhi seamer Ashish
Nehra, who has a thigh strain, kept doing specific exercises as prescribed by
Leipus. Nehra has a crick in the neck, Leipus said, but there is little danger of him missing any matches of the one-day series. Teams: Indians (from): Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, V.V.S.

New laws to check crowd invasions sought London, June 21 Crowd invasions at Edgbaston and Headingley were followed up Tuesday when a firework was thrown on to the field at Trent Bridge, narrowly missing Australia fast bowler Brett Lee. That prompted his captain Steve Waugh to take his team off the field. Although the common denominator so far in all the major incidents of crowd trouble has been the presence of a ‘rogue element’ of Pakistan supporters, there is an acknowledgement that no one group has a monopoly on the capacity to cause trouble. The newly re-elected Labour government is set to face calls from cricket authorities for the law to be changed. Currently it is a criminal offence to run on to a football pitch but not on to a cricket field. Tim Lamb, the ECB’s chief executive, said: “What we have seen over the last couple of weeks is totally unacceptable and my colleagues at the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and at the grounds are determined not to invoke legislation to make trespassing on a cricket pitch an offence. “We have to try to do everything possible to try to prevent what we have seen happening again, but if several hundred people are minded to run onto a cricket pitch then it is very difficult to stop them. “What we have to do is that with the help of legislation, we make it an offence for people to come on to the pitch. I hope that by next year and the matches between England, India and Sri Lanka we will have legislation in place to do so.” Cricket authorities here favour the adoption of the Australian system where pitch invaders receive automatic fines and a night in jail. Australian Cricket Board chief executive Malcolm Speed, set to take up a similar role next month with the International Cricket Council (ICC) said: “Crowd invasions, fireworks and other missiles being thrown onto the field have no place whatsoever in the game of cricket. “This first surfaced as a serious issue” for us in the West Indies in 1999 and then it occurred in the World Cup that year.” “We believe in Australia that we’ve put in place a good many measures that minimise the risk to players and umpires. What we’re seeing in this series are some serious and positive steps being taken to minimise the risk of injury to players, umpires and stewards.” Meanwhile, former British Prime Minister John Major, an enthusiastic cricket fan, gave his backing to the Australian system. Now President of Surrey, he was speaking at the county champions’ Oval ground to announce a new sponsorship deal. The ground hosts the England-Australia one-day game today. “We are always concerned with security at The Oval and we have a pretty good record in the past,” Major said. “I note with interest how the matter is dealt with in Australia — that seems to be pretty effective.” “What works in Australia doesn’t always translate to here but if people misbehave there the smack of official discipline is quite sharp.” “I hope we can find a way of ensuring the hooligan element is deterred without having to resort to that sort of eventuality (permanent fences and moats). I think that would be a disaster for cricket if we had to do that but we have to ensure that the players and umpires could be guaranteed their safety.” Although, perhaps complacently, no serious problems are expected at The Oval. There remain deep concerns over the tournament final between Australia and Pakistan at Lord’s on Saturday. Lamb has ruled out the use of dogs to guard the boundary at Lord’s, which his boss Lord MacLaurin controversially announced should be introduced earlier in the week, saying their use would be “highly insensitive” in the wake of the Oldham riots in northern England earlier this month where local Asian youths were involved.

Ganguly blames it on too many one-dayers Harare, June 21 Ganguly agreed to a suggestion that a batsman struggling to regain form tries too hard and ends up doing something he shouldn’t be doing. “Yeah, I know. The lack of form doesn’t affect the technique but may be you then try too hard. Then you do something extra which you shouldn’t be doing,” he said. The skipper, however, agreed that if one wants to play 10-12 years of Test cricket one has got to be strong enough to come out of it. Asked how soon his fans could again see him play those booming cover drives and hit the bowlers over their heads, the stylish left-hander said: “Yes, I am expecting it everytime I walk out to bat. I have struggled a bit in the last 5-6 Test innings. I think I should be back as quickly as possible”. Ganguly also believes a rotation policy for one-dayers on the lines of the Australians could help reduce the burden on the players. “I believe a rotation policy could be a solution. Not because it is a busy season. It is because we should have 16-17 guys ready for the 2003 World Cup. They could only be confident if they perform in the centre.” To prove his point, Ganguly gives a reasoning. “I will give you an example. In one-day cricket, the top four get an opportunity to bat most. Those who come at number five, six or seven usually get the last three-four overs and sacrifice their wickets in order to score quick runs. After it has happened in a few games, suddenly in one big game the top three fail and they find themselves out in the middle.” “One good ball and the player is out. Then he realises he has done nothing in the last five games. Now if there is a rotational policy, he might come to bat up in a few games, score a 80 or a hundred and next time he is in a crunch situation, he would have the confidence. I think we should have this policy and we would go for it”. It is said often that though India has brilliant individual players they fail to win crunch matches as a team. “Believe me, honestly, we don’t want to finish our career when people say we were good players but we couldn’t win as a team. Previously we couldn’t win crunch games as we did not have good bowling. But now we have a fairly good attack.” The attack has undoubtedly improved but there must be some reason why our bowlers are not able to pitch it up. Is it because of an inherent style or lack of strong shoulders? “I would not say so about Ashish (Nehra). He bowled superbly without giving Andy Flower any width. Probably Srinath could do a bit but that has been his tendency right through his career. I think we got to work on it. “If you watch Streak and Blignaut, they are probably not the best bowlers in the world. But they bowled to a fantastic line and length. We probably have to do it as quickly as possible.” The captain may have high regard for Nehra but the left-arm seamer from Delhi saw himself out of the triangular one-day series despite an impressive show on the fast and bouncy tracks of Zimbabwe. It was only after tremendous pressure from the team management that the selectors decided to retain him for the tri-series. Such instances are normal in the career of an Indian captain who has to be content with a team not always of his choice. But Ganguly plays it down diplomatically. “I won’t say every time I didn’t get the team I want. There have been instances when I haven’t got the player I wanted but that’s going to happen. Six-seven people sit together and everyone has an opinion. Some opinions might differ. At the end of the day, the selectors are the best judges. We are there to give suggestions. Honestly, I will tell you in all my one and a half years, about 75 per cent of the time, I have got the team I wanted.” One of the ways to counter the whims and fancies of selectors is to introduce a contract system and Ganguly supports the idea whole-heartedly. “We favour it. As cricketers we need security. It is with any individual, whether you play cricket or you have a job or you do a business of your own, you got to be secure in life. I should get up in the morning and realise my life is secure. It is true with any individual. We have already given our opinion to the board.”

Flower ruled out of
triangular series Harare, June 21 Flower is currently the number two ranked batsman in the world and his omission is a massive blow for Zimbabwe.“It’s really disappointing,” Flower told Reuters today. “I caught a ball awkwardly in the second Test (against India) and it ripped the ligaments off one of the bones in the thumb. “It has to be re-attached and then I’ll be in a cast for four or five weeks.” “After that I’ll need rehab for the strengthening that’s required.” The 33-year-old will have surgery in Harare on next Tuesday after visiting a specialist in Johannesburg on Wednesday.

IPFA to set up 2 academies Kochi, June 21 An IPFA meeting at Mumbai on Tuesday decided to prepare the project report for the two academies, IPFA Secretary Babu Mather said here today. A sub-committee with P.V. Paul of FC Kochin as convener was constituted to prepare the project report after evaluating the feasibility study conducted by Paul and Anjan Mitra, Secretary, Mohun Bagan Club. Each academy will train 100 players in the age group of 12 to 16 years who would be drafted for serving the IPFA clubs. This is expected to entail an annual expenditure of Rs 50 lakh for each academy. Sites for both the academies had been identified and the sub-committee would look into the prospects of getting the support from the state governments as well, Mathar said in a press release. The IPFA had also registered itself as a public limited company with an authorised capital of Rs 50 lakh with headquarters at Bangalore. The main objective of the company was to get into sports management and marketing and streamline the welfare projects for clubs and the players, Mather said. The meeting also felt that the existing arrangements of All-India Football Federation (AIFF) with Doordarshan for telecasting rights were a “big hindrance” in making the game spectator- friendly, Mather said, adding the IPFA would request the AIFF to terminate the arrangements with Doordarshan in the larger interests of football in the country. The meeting also decided to resolve the disputes and issues between member clubs within the IPFA in future and appealed to clubs to follow a strict code of conduct. The IPFA would also appeal to the AIFF to implement the players’ transfer rules in accordance with the FIFA statutes. The clubs association had decided to blacklist players who violate the contractual obligations with their clubs and those who sign for more than one club at a time. The meeting also observed that field conditions at Thiruvananthapuram, Rabindra Sarovar (Kolkata) and Mumbai were poor during the fifth National Football League (NFL). The meeting appealed the AIFF to engage neutral referees from neighbouring countries for the NFL and to organise advanced courses for the national referees in India and abroad. Dr Vijay Mallya (IPFA President), Kalyan Ganguly (East Bengal), V.A. Reikhi (Mohun Bagan), Alan Durante (Mahindra United), Churchill Alemao (Churchill Brothers) and P.V. Paul are the founder directors of the company.

Winds of change sweeping Wimbledon London, June 21 The seeding system has been overhauled amid threats of a players’ boycott. Showcase matches will begin an hour earlier than usual. Women are demanding to be paid as much as the men. Even the Boston Ivy has been removed from Centre Court. For Wimbledon traditionalists, 2001 is shaping up as a tumultuous year. The All-England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, that bastion of royalty, ritual and convention, is being dragged into the 21st century - kicking and screaming - by modern-day pressures. Few, if any, sports events are steeped in as much tradition as Wimbledon with its folklore image of pristine lawns, all-white clothing, strawberries and cream and the Royal Box. With this summer’s 115th edition of the Championships opening on Monday, the rumbling of change is here. For the first time in history, Wimbledon will have 32 seeded players in men’s and women’s play, instead of the usual 16. The change was made in an effort to avert a walkout by the world’s leading clay-court players, who claim they are discriminated against by Wimbledon in favour of big-hitting grass-court specialists. Wimbledon is the only major tournament played on grass - a fast, slick, low-bouncing surface that favours serve-and-volley players. The French Open is played on slow, red clay, while the U.S. And Australian opens are played on hard courts. Wimbledon has been the only tournament using its own discretion in seeding players rather than strictly following the order of the world rankings. The clay-courters want Wimbledon to go by the ATP’s entry system list, which ranks players based on results over the previous 52 weeks. In a compromise, Wimbledon doubled the number of seeded players and agreed to take the top 32 in the rankings. But Wimbledon retained the right to shuffle the order of the men’s seedings based on a computerised formula taking into account a player’s grass-court record. So, when the seedings were announced on Monday, seven-time champion Pete Sampras was made No. 1, even though he is only No. 5 in the rankings. “This is certainly progress,” said Alan Mills, in his 19th year as Wimbledon referee. “I hope the players appreciate that we are going a long way to address their concerns.” But the world’s two top clay-courters still won’t be playing at Wimbledon. Brazil’s Gustavo Kuerten, the three-time French Open champion, and Spain’s Alex Corretja, the losing finalist in Paris, have pulled out, claiming injuries. Another flashpoint is the issue of equal prize money. For years, women have been demanding parity with the men. While the gap is closing, Wimbledon still refuses to join the U.S. And Australian Opens in paying the women as much as the men. This year, total prize money is going up 5.5 per cent to $12.15 million. The men’s champion will receive $ 715,000 and the women’s winner will get $661,375. Total prize money for the men will be $6 million, while the women’s total will be $5.1 million. The overall women’s increase is 6.5 per cent, compared with a 4.7 per cent increase for the men. “This is nothing to do with women’s rights,” All-England Club chairman Tim Phillips said. “It is to do with the marketplace. The top women players tend to win more than the men because they also compete in doubles, he said. Women’s tennis has surged in popularity around the world, thanks to the box-office appeal of young stars such as Venus and Serena Williams, Martina Hingis and Anna Kournikova. “We continue to be concerned about the slow pace of progress toward equal prize money,” said Bart McGuire, chief executive of the Women’s Tennis Association. “We believe that the competition and entertainment levels of women’s tennis amply justify equal prize money at all of the Grand Slams.” Meantime, other slices of Wimbledon tradition will be missing this summer. For the first time in 70 years, there will be no Boston Ivy on the Centre Court walls. The ivy has been pulled down to allow for structural repairs and will be replanted for 2002. In a break with 80 years of scheduling, play on Centre Court and Court One will begin at 1 p.m., rather than 2 p.m. The extra hour should help counter the dreaded rain delays that inevitably disrupt the tournament. But the pace of change can be slow. When the new computerised seedings list was formulated on Monday, it was handed to a Wimbledon employee to tap out on a typewriter. And some things never change. Nothing will deter the British tabloids from their pursuit of saucy Wimbledon coverage. Kournikova, the most photographed woman in tennis, got bigger coverage in Tuesday’s papers for pulling out with an injury than the announcement of the seeded players. The Daily Mail splashed a front-page photo of a smiling Kournikova wearing a backless evening dress peering over her shoulder. The rival Mirror lamented Kournikova’s absence but ran a revealing front-page picture of Austrian player Barbara Schett describing her as “Barbie ... The new No. 1 tennis pin-up.”

Paes qualifies; Nirupama out Roehampton (England), June
21 The Indian, ranked 168 in the world, lost the match played on Court number 11 in straight sets 6-7 (3-7) 2-6 in just over an hour. Earlier, Vaidynathan caused a stir by beating Mariana Lucic of Croatia, who was a semi-finalist at Wimbledon in 1999, 2-6 6-0 6-4 in the first round. In the second round, Vaidyanathan defeated Klara Koukalova of Czech Republic 6-4 6-2. Meanwhile, making a mockery of his current world ranking — caused mainly by his avoidance of tournament singles and focus on doubles — Leander
Paes, India’s Davis Cup hero, won his third match in a row last night to qualify for the main draw of the singles championship. He defeated Andy O’Brien of the USA 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-2 6-2.

Isha Lakhani turns giant killer New Delhi, June 21 Isha, who had accounted for third-seeded Sheetal Goutham in the third round, was lucky that Nandita made too many mistakes and failed to capitalise on Isha’s own faults. After trading breaks in the first six games, Isha won the first set when she broke Nandita in the seventh and ninth games. The second set was a replay of the first set and Nandita once again failed to seize her chances. Isha meets top-seeded Sonal Phadke in the semi-final. Sonal had to struggle to get the better of Megha Vakharia at 6-3, 5-7, 6-3, to give some justification to her top billing. |
