Zaheer wrecks Punjab dream Vadodara, February 15 Chasing a moderate target of 219, Punjab second innings collapsed at 82 in just 30 overs with two full days and more than two hours of play remaining. Zaheer Khan, the undisputed hero of the semifinal tie, who wrecked the Punjab batting line-up claiming six wickets for 25 runs off his 11 overs, returned with an impressive match figure of 10 for 137. When Punjab were reeling at 77 for seven, Zaheer struck thrice in his third, fifth and sixth balls of his 11th over to bring an end to the rivals second innings 30 minutes before the scheduled tea break. Medium pacer Rakesh Patel scalped two wickets for 21 runs in eight overs, while Sekar Joshi and Valmik Bush bagged a wicket apiece conceding 26 and 9 runs, respectively. This was the eighth occasion for Baroda to move into the final of the Ranji Trophy. In the final last year, they defeated Railways by 21 runs at the same GSFC ground to win the prestigious trophy for the second time since 1957-58. Baroda will take on the winners of the other semifinal match between Bengal and Railways on March 6. Giving full credit to his strike bowler Zaheer Khan for his match haul of 10 wickets, a jubilant Baroda skipper Jacob Martin said,” Zaheer was the best among the bowlers.” “We will put our best in the final too, to clinch the trophy for the second successive year,” he said. Earlier, resuming at 189 for eight, the hosts took their total to 233 before losing the last two wickets for an addition of 44 runs in 55 minutes. Overnight batsman Ajit Bhoite, who scored a brilliant 85 in his first knock, was unbeaten on 66 off 88 balls. During his 127 minutes stay at the crease, he hit one six and eight boundaries. For Punjab, medium pacer Amit Uniyal was most effective, claiming four wickets for 56 runs, while Harbhajan Singh returned with a figure of three for 87 and Vineet Sharma two for 49.

Razzaq fashions Pak victory Sharjah, February 15 Defending a modest total of 190, the West Indians reduced their rivals to 110 for five before an unbeaten 46 off 41 balls from Abdul Razzaq saw Pakistan home in the 47th over. Pakistan were taken by surprise by the rejuvinated West Indies, whom they had thrashed by huge margins in the two Test matches preceding the one-day series. If only Carl Hooper’s men had put up a better batting performance, it would have been the Caribbeans going into today’s second match with a 1-0 lead. Pakistan were in shambles at 15 for three in the eighth over before Yousuf Youhana (39) restored calm with two useful partnerships. Youhana put on 47 for the fourth wicket with Shahid Afridi (35) and 48 for the fifth with Rashid Latif (47). But when Latif was sixth out in the 40th over, sweeping Hooper to Corey Collymore at fine-leg, Pakistan still required 38 more. Razzaq, who went before television cameras before the start of play to clarify that his first name was Abdul and not Abdur, stayed till the end to see Pakistan home in the company of Wasim Akram (13 not out).

Sharjah, February 15 Malik, sent in as a pinch-hitter, hit an unbeaten 111 off 130 balls as
Pakistan, electing to bat in the day-night international, recovered from 51 for four to post 232 all out. Sami, the least experienced member of Pakistan’s seam attack, then claimed the last three wickets off successive balls to bowl the West Indies out for 181 in 34.4 overs. In what is becoming a frequent feature with West Indian batting, the last five wickets fell for just three runs after they appeared to be coasting to victory. Chris Gayle smashed 62 off 46 balls to lift the West Indies to 101 for one by only the 14th over, before four middle-order wickets went down for 32 runs. Left-handed Gayle hit eight boundaries and three sixes in a thrilling display of attacking batting before offering a tame catch to point off Shoaib Akhtar. The West Indies were still in with a chance when Ryan Hinds and Shivnarine Chanderpaul lifted the score to 178 for five in the 34th over, but it was not long before the rot set in.

Waugh’s vow Johannesberg, February 15 “I’m obviously looking forward to Test cricket,” a tense and drawn-looking Waugh said at a Press conference at Johannesburg international airport shortly after the team’s arrival yesterday. Selectors dropped him as one-day captain on Wednesday in a move seen as the most significant player change in Australian cricket since Mark Taylor was dumped as one-day captain almost five years ago in favour of
Waugh. His reign as Test skipper, however, continues. Waugh’s position as national one-day skipper has been under scrutiny after Australia failed to reach the finals of the one-day tournament with South Africa and New Zealand this month. “I’m not in the one-day side any more so it is not really for me to comment too much on that. I just want to make sure we play good test match cricket,” said Waugh, who faced a grilling from the media about his axing. Asked whether the announcement by the Australian Cricket Board would have an influence on Australia’s performance on its South African tour, Waugh said: “I don’t know if it’s ever a good time to get dropped. This is not an ideal time at the beginning of a series.”

Railways in driver’s seat New Delhi, February 15 On an action-filled day when 278 runs were scored and 11 wickets scalped, Railways showed they were the masters in their own backyard and Bengal players, including India skipper Saurav Ganguly, were left licking their wounds after some reckless batting. Overnight batsman Yere Goud (127) completed his third century of the season while all rounder J.P. Yadav joined the run feast with a quickfire 49 before Railways innings folded half an hour after lunch. Railways (first innings): Sanjay Bangar c Lahiri b Ganguly 48, A Pagnis c A.

Gambhir slams double ton Vijayawada, February 15 Electing to bat, after skipper Rahul Dravid won the toss, the young aspirants shone with their impressive scoring at around four runs per over. Gambhir, a strong candidate for a vacant opener’s slot in the Indian team, paced his innings nicely and displayed a wide array of strokes on both sides of the wicket, hitting 40 fours during his nearly six-hour marathon knock. At close, Abhijit Kale was batting on 40 and Prabhanjan Mullick was yet to open his account. The board openers gave
their side a flying start as Gagan Khoda and Gambhir, who plays for the Chand Khanna cricket club in Delhi, put on 87 runs for the opening wicket. The Zimbabweans got the first breakthrough when Raymond Price had Khoda caught by Travis Friend for 41. Dravid joined Gambhir in the middle and the two put the Zimbabwean attack to sword adding 175 runs for the second wicket. Gambhir was particularly impressive as he flourished in the company of dravid with elegant glances, fine cuts and forceful pulls and drives. Gambhir who set a record for India colts with Vinayak Mane against English side in Chennai brought up his century pulling Price to the mid-wicket fence. He went after the visitors’ leading bowler Heath Streak and in one over hit four fours - driving the first ball, cutting the second, straight driving the third and then through a streaky cut off the last ball taking his glorious form to rhapsodical overtures. He celebrated his double century in the very next over hitting his 36th boundary off the bowling of Mbangwa. At the other end, Dravid returning from a shoulder injury, showed glimpses of his class hitting six fours in his 50 and looked fully fit. It was a pretty ordinary performance by the visitors on the field as the bowling lacked penetration and the fielding was erratic. The bowler to suffer was Price who went for 102 runs in his 26 overs though he had two wickets to show. SCOREBOARD Board President’s XI (1st innings): Gambhir c A. Flower b Mbangwa 218 Khoda c Friend b Price 41, R. Dravid c Taibu b Price 50 , A. Kale batting 40, P. Mullick batting 0 Extras (b-1, lb-3, w-1, nb-7) 12 Total (for 3 wkts, 97 overs) 361 Fall of wickets: 1-87, 2-262, 3-356.

ECB seeks ICC’s intervention Wellington, February 15 Gavaskar labelled England the “champion whingers of world cricket” in a column in the Hindustan Times after head coach Duncan Fletcher complained about practice facilities in Kolkata after the first one-day international against India in January. Fletcher reacted angrily by questioning whether Gavaskar, who chairs the International Cricket Council’s playing committee, should be allowed to comment on another member country while serving as an ICC official. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) head raised the issue with ICC chairman Malcolm Speed at a meeting of chief executives this week in Christchurch, and it is understood the ICC will have words with Gavaskar. “My job on behalf of the ECB and our team, who were understandbly concerned about it, is to raise my concerns with Malcolm which I did to reinforce what Duncan Fletcher said publicly,” Lamb said today. “I think it is unfortunate that somebody who is in a neutral position as chairman of a cricket committee should seek to make disparaging comments. “So far as I’m concerned it’s not an excuse that he’s an honorary non-executive chairman. “The fact is that our committee people in our counties and the ECB are bound by the same regulations and directives governing public statements as anybody who receives remuneration as administrator, player or whatever,” Lamb said.

Criticism “too personal” New Delhi, February 15 “If I do not do well for my country and get criticised, it is fair enough. But more than the press, there are other people who get too personal sometimes. They have a lot of their own interests coming in,” the Indian cricket captain told PTI in an interview here. Asked if he was referring to “people in the commentary box”, Ganguly replied, “I do not want to name people. I have been in enough controversies. This is what I feel. But then, that is part and parcel of Indian sports. And I think, there is a lot of injustice (in the criticism).” His critics call him petulant, too blunt and sometimes unimaginative on the field, but the captain disagrees. He makes no effort to gloss over his mistakes nor is wiling to accept unfair attacks. “I do not believe in beating about the bush. If something is wrong, it has to be said. That way, you are not doing injustice to anybody. I have been brought up that way and I believe that it is right to suggest improvements whether it is a team or an individual. Some people do not like that, but then you cannot satisfy everyone.” It is a mellowed and reflective “Bengal Tiger” as he assesses his two years as the captain of the national cricket team — a tenure marked by one of the greatest comeback triumphs for a team in the history of Test cricket i.e. India’s stunning series win against Australia last year. At the same time he speaks with palpable disappointment over his team’s failure at the finishing line in many one-day tournaments. Choking under pressure is something he would like to be corrected urgently and he has planned for it. Ganguly does not feel that much of the press is unfair to him but he still has a few complaints. For instance, he does not understand why players of visiting teams and foreign sports writers covering their national teams in this country are invited to write columns in the Indian press. Such columns, he says, are used for pressure tactics against the Indian team. “I have seen this. They have realised they can come from abroad and get an opportunity to write in our newspapers which I do not think is the right thing.” Ganguly asks, “How many of our journalists go to England and get to write for the London Times or whatever newspapers? So why do we allow people to get that opportunity? I was in South Africa, nobody asked me to write a
column for their newspapers. But when the Australian captain or the South African captain comes to India, they get an opportunity to write columns which they use cleverly.”

WORLD CUP — Track Record Chandigarh, February 15 In the fifth edition at Bombay in 1982,Germany led by Michael Peter snatched the silver after losing to Pakistan 1-3 in the
final. At London in the sixth World Cup, West Germany with Dopp as skipper again took the bronze beating Russia 3-0. However,
at Lahore in the seventh edition, West Germany were again placed
fourth, losing 1-2 to Australia in the battle for the bronze. The position remained unchanged in the eighth edition at Sydney but at Utrecht in the ninth edition the Germans once again won the
bronze, beating Australia. 7. South Africa: Like South
Korea, South Africa also made a late debut in the World Cup and participated
in the tournament for the first time at Sydney in the eighth edition in 1994.
However, they hardly made an impact and finished tenth in a field of 12
contestants. Thereafter, they failed to make it to Utrecht in the ninth
edition, but for the forthcoming edition at Kuala Lumpur, they are among the nine automatic qualifiers. (To be concluded) |

DURAND CUP New Delhi, February 15 Zee Churchill, always known as Churchill Brothers, Goa, have rarely progressed beyond the second best status in major tournaments, barring of course the Goa senior league, played on their own backyard. But this has been an encouraging season for them ever since they imported some class players from abroad to fortify their lineup. But Mahindra United have the reputation of lifting the Durand Cup once (1998), and being runners-up twice (1990 and 2000). They, too, have many foreign recruits in their ranks. But their foreign recruits are no match to Churchill’s Iranian striker Mousavi Sayed Aman and Yusif Yakubu of Ghana. Yakubu is an all-purpose player whose stamina and dribbling skills are unmatchable. His brilliant covering of the length and width of the field like a champion stallion, and his powerpacked shots, have come in for high praise. Mousavi and Yakubu have scored six goals for Churchill in the National Football League to put them in the top bracket. Churchill will also be reinforced by the presence of their dangerous midfielder Noel Wilson in the final, after sitting out the semifinal due to two yellow cards. Churchill and Mahindra United have met twice in this season, with both recording a win each. So tomorrow’s clash will decide who the superior team are, at least for the current season. Mahindra United were lucky to get past giant killers Indian Telephone Industries, Bangalore, as the latter, the conquerors of former champions Mohun Bagan, had called the shots in the first half but caved in rather tamely in the second, when Mahindra slotted in three goals. Churchill have the confidence of scalping East Bengal, several times former champions, and the boys of T.K. Chathunni, the well-known coach, look like settling for nothing else, but the best, this time - the Durand Cup itself. Meanwhile, the poor crowd response to this once formidable Durand Cup has become a cause for concern for the organisers, despite the fact that ever since the tournament started attracting sponsorships in a large scale, the Cup has been flush with funds. The organising committee, headed by an official who rarely ventures out of his cabin, has completely failed in regaining the old glory of the Cup, primarily due to the egoistic approach of some officials. It’s a sad reflection of the changing times that even the names of well-known clubs like Mohun Bagan and JCT Phagwara were mis-spelt in team-sheets made
available to the Press on a few days. |

Jeev takes lead Gurgaon, February 15 While Jeev hogged the limelight, Vijay Kumar snatched his own share with a seven-under 64 in the afternoon session. That gave him sole possession of third place at seven-under 135, two stroke behind the leader and one behind Thai star Prayad Marksaeng, who added a five-under 66 to his overnight 68. Tatsuhiko Takahashi of Japan was fourth at 136, while India’s Harmeet Kahlon was fifth at 137. Defending champion and first round leader Arjun Atwal had a nightmarish start to his round and was five-over after five holes. However, the defending Hero Honda Masters champion pulled back with three birdies on the last four holes to finish at three-over 74 for the day. That gave him tied ninth place at three-under 139. The cut was applied at four-over 146. 68 players, including 16
Indians, made it to weekend rounds. Despite missing at least three putts from less than six feet, it was a red-hot putter that Jeev possessed. The shortest birdie putt he made was a five-footer on the par-5 14th, which was also the most difficult of the six. The European Tour star was solid throughout the round, and produced magical shots at times. Two 10-feet putts netted him birdies on the fourth and sixth holes. He should have made the turn much lower than two-under after missing two six-footers birdie putts on the second and ninth. On the back nine, the 30-year-old drained a 15 feet putt on the 11th, an excellent 30-footer right-to-left downhill putt on the 13th before playing two outstanding holes. On the par-5 14th, Jeev was blinded by the OB wall on the right with no view of the fairway that doglegs almost 90 degrees to the right, nor the green. He sliced a 7-iron to reach the narrow chunk of fairway flanked by two huge drains. The approach shot left him a five-footer downhill putt that had a break of almost a foot-and-a-half, which he sank. On the 17th, Jeev was in the left bushes behind the scoreboard with his drive. After taking a line of sight relief, he punched a sand wedge from between the narrow openings of the bushes to 15 feet and sank that as well.
