India record historic win in West Indies
Port of Spain, April 23 It was a see-saw battle in which India emerged the victor by 37 runs to go 1-0 up in the five-match series after West Indies faltered in their chase of 313 runs and were out for 275 in their second innings. It was just the third victory for the Indians on the West Indian soil and all three have come at this venue, the Queen’s Park Oval. India won here in 1971 beating West Indies by four wickets in a series that saw the emergence of the legendary Sunil Gavaskar, and five years later they did it again, managing to overhaul a target of 404, which remains a world record for the highest successful run-chase for a side batting fourth.It was another thrilling encounter today at the Queen’s Park Oval which has earned a reputation for producing results in Test matches. West Indies, who resumed at their overnight 131 for two, looked in total command so long as their best batsmen Brian Lara and skipper Carl Hooper were at the crease. But the first two overs from Ashish Nehra changed the entire complexion of the game. Nehra dismissed both Lara and Hooper in consecutive overs to shift the balance in India’s favour. Indian bowlers started the day on an impressive note but looked to have lost their penetration towards the end of the first session when they indulged in some wayward bowling helping the two West Indian batsmen to settle down. West Indies resumed at their overnight 131 for two with two of their best batsmen looking in good touch. Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan, who opened the bowling for India bowled a tight line and length but the batsmen were concentrating hard and played comfortably. In the fourth over of the day, Hooper pulled Zaheer Khan to the long-on fence to bring up the first boundary of the day. He attempted a similar shot against Srinath later but was lucky that his miscued hit landed just away of Shiv Sunder Das at short mid-on. Conscious of the daunting task ahead, Lara even signalled to the spectators to stop the music blaring in the stadium as he tried to concentrate. He was timing the ball well but the fluency was lacking and he looked to be trying too hard. Lara had added just seven runs to his overnight 40 when Nehra, who was struck for a straight four by Hooper off the very first ball he bowled this morning, managed to induce an edge with a ball that moved slightly away from the batsman. Rahul Dravid gratefully accepted a simple catch in the first slip to end a 168-minute knock of Lara that contained four hits to the fence. There was more in store for the Indians one over later when Hooper threw away his wicket with a rare irresponsible shot. He tried to pull a delivery from outside the off-stump to the mid-wicket region but gave an easy catch to Das. India were obviously overjoyed with the two big wickets in a space of just seven runs but it was not all over as yet. Chanderpaul and Gayle remained remarkably positive under tremendous pressure and played attacking shots.

Laxman terribly disappointed
Port of Spain, April 23 “I am surely disappointed,” said Laxman. “I was also a bit unlucky as it took the inside edge of my bat and crashed on to my stumps.” Laxman was bowled by Mervyn Dillon for 74 after putting on 149 runs for the fifth wicket with his captain Sourav Ganguly and it triggered a Indian collapse as they lost their last six wickets for the addition of only 13 runs. “It would have been great if I had stayed on. Sourav was batting so well at the other end,” said Laxman. “We should have had at least 400 up on the board and now the first session of the last day’s play is critically important.” West Indies, set 313 to win, need 182 runs from the final day’s play with eight wickets remaining, including the one of great Brian Lara, unbeaten on 40. “The wicket is not easy to play your shots on, there is difficulty in stroking the ball. If you keep the ball in the right place, it is difficult to get runs,” said Laxman. Laxman was happy with his form in the series during which he has run up scores of 69, 69 not out and 74 in three innings. “I have been timing the ball well right from the start of the series,” he said. “My form is okay but I would like to translate it into a few big scores. There are still three Tests left in the series and hopefully before we are through, I would have been able to make a few big scores.” It was a great honour for him to play alongside batsmen of the calibre of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Ganguly, said Laxman. “They are class players and have proved their worth time and again. I feel great to play alongside them.” He said the wickets in the West Indies today are no different from the ones he faced way back in 1997. The conditions are not much different now. If anything, the wickets are slower. “Last time I was here as an opener but now I am back in the middle order. It is a position I have always enjoyed batting in,” said the stylish Hyderabadi. Inevitably, asked to comment on his knock of 281 against Australia in Kolkata during the 2000-2001 series, Laxman, ever a modest person, gave Dravid a great deal of credit for the astonishing partnership which changed the course of the match and the series. “Dravid was a great help and inspiration from the other end,” said Laxman. “But that is history and I would like to bat well and long enough to contribute in my team’s success.”

India ‘A’ win by seven wickets
Johannesburg, April 23 After restricting the hosts to 231 for seven in the stipulated 50 overs, India put up a solid batting performance to reach 233 for the loss of just three wickets with as many as 41 balls to spare. India had lost their first one-day match to South Africa at the Lenasia cricket ground by five wickets last Thursday. Man-of-the-match Yuvraj Singh (76 n.o.) and Rohan Gavaskar (44 n.o.) shared an unbroken match-winning partnership of 123 runs for the fourth wicket, building on the platform laid by the top three batsmen - Abhijit Kale, Parthiv Patel and Mohammed Kaif. Kale (37) and Patel (32) added 53 runs for the first wicket before Kaif (33) came in to share another half-century stand, 57 runs to be precise, for the second wicket with Kale. Earlier, the left-arm spin bowling of Murali Kartik (two for 18) reduced the hosts to 109 for five before A.G. Price (67) and Justin Ontong (46) rescued South Africa with a 72-run stand for the sixth wicket. The duo were going great guns when Kaif broke the partnership with a brilliant pick and throw to dismiss Price. Brief scores: South Africa ‘A’ 231 for seven (A.G. Price 67, J. Ontong 46; Kartik 2-18) India ‘A’ 233 for three in 43.1 overs (A. Kale 37, P. Patel 32, M. Kaif 33, R. Gavaskar 44 no, Y. Singh 76 no; Ontong 2-50). PTI

Fleming doubtful for today’s tie Rawalpindi, April 23 “We practiced without Fleming and wicketkeeper Robbie Hart, who both are recovering from their stomach bugs and a final decision on them will be taken before the match,” New Zealand manager Ross Dykes told reporters at Rawalpindi stadium. Vice-captain Craig McMillan led the tourists in the first match at Karachi which they lost by 153 runs. All-rounder Scott Styris and pace bowler Daryl Tuffey recovered from similar stomach upsets to feature in the injury-stricken New Zealand team. Sides from Australia, New Zealand and England often face problems with food and water in the subcontinent, but Dykes played down the issue.

Down memory lane
Soccer World Cup
Paris, April 23 The same format as 1974 was adopted — two group phases and no knockout stages — and controversy surrounded Argentina’s passage into the final. The Argentines, for whom the long-haired Mario Kempes was a revelation up front, romped to a highly dubious 6-0 win over Peru in their final match of the second phase to oust Brazil on goal difference. Holders West Germany failed to beat Holland and Italy and were eliminated when Berti Vogts’ own goal gave Austria a 3-2 victory. Holland thrashed the Austrians 5-1 to reach the final for the second successive year, but, crucially, they were without their master Johan Cruyff, who had stayed at home. Once again the Dutch were beaten, to the delight of the 77,260 crowd in Buenos Aires. Argentina took the lead through Kempes after 37 minutes before subsitute Dirk Nanninga equalised late on. In extra time Kempes restored Argentina’s lead and Daniel Bertoni made it 3-1, leaving captain Daniel Passarela to lift Argentina’s first World Cup. Holland were without the star of the 1974 final, Johan Cruyff, who refused to travel to Argentina for security reasons following the 1976 military coup. Scotland had enjoyed a very successful tour of South America the year before, and according to manager Ally MacLeod were capable of beating the world. Once again they were Britain’s only representative. Two countries were making their debuts in the finals — Iran and Tunisia. For the fourth consecutive tournament, the opening match ended 0-0 when Argentina met Hungary in group one in Buenos Aires. The match was marred when two Hungarians, Andras Torocsik and Tibor Nyilasi were sent off. In another group one match Italy beat France 2-1. Bernard Lacombe of France recorded the second fastest World Cup goal when he scored after 36 seconds. France beat Hungary 3-1, but only after the referee had threatened to make them forfeit the match for not wearing the correct kit. The police fetched the kit of the local second division side and, wearing it, France on 3-1. Also in group two Tunisia became the first African country to record a World Cup finals victory when they beat Mexico 3-1 after being 1-0 down. Scotland suffered a shock in their first game, losing 3-1 to outsiders Peru. After the game a dope test on winger Willie Johnston proved positive and Scotland sent him home in disgrace. Welsh referee Clive Thomas became notorious after controversially blowing for full-time time as Brazil’s Zico headed in a goal direct from a corner against Sweden. Thomas, who had awarded the corner, disallowed the goal and the match finished 1-1. Argentina became the third host nation in four World Cup finals to win the trophy. 1978 World Cup winning side: Argentina: Goalkeepers: Hector Baley, Ubaldo Matildo Fillol, Ricardo Lavolpe. Defenders: Luis Galvan, Daniel Killer, Jorge Olguin, Ruben Pagnanini, Daniel Passarella (capt), Alberto Tarantini. Midfielders: Norberto Alonso, Ossie Ardiles, Americo Gallego, Ruben Galvan, Omaro Larrosa, Daniel Valencia. Forwards: Daniel Bertoni, Rene Houseman, Mario Kempes, Lepoldo Luque, Oscar Ortiz. Coach: Cesar Luis Menotti. 1982, Spain: Spain 1982 saw the number of entrants swollen to 24 and two round robin stages used to determine the semi-finalists. Brazil, with the likes of Zico, Eder and Socrates in full flow, caught the eye in the early stages, while Italy limped into the second round on the back of three highly uninspiring draws. Suddenly the Italians — and recalled striker Paolo Rossi — sparked to life, beating Brazil 3-2 to reach the semi-finals and then defeating Poland 2-0 to reach the final. West Germany, solid but unspectacular, edged past the hosts Spain and England into the semi-finals, where they faced France in a contest that left a bitter taste. The match, which finished 3-3 after extra-time, was marred by a diabolical challenge from West Germany keeper Harald Schumacher on Patrick Battiston. Incredibly Schumacher stayed on the pitch, and proceeded to make the saves that earned his side a 5-4 win in the penalty shootout. Rossi’s predatory skills were too much for West Germany in the final, however. He opened the scoring in the second half, and the Italians romped to a 3-1 victory, matching Brazil’s achievement of winning three World Cups. Top scorers: Paolo Rossi (Ita) 6, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (WGer) 5, Zbigniew Boniek (Pol) 4, Zico (Bra) 4. Some 107 countries were invited to take part in qualifying — 306 matches and 797 goals later the record 24 finalists were known. In the finals, two round robin group stages were used to determine the semifinals In the event of a draw in the final stages, a penalty shootout would be the deciding factor. This was the first time this format was used. To accommodate the 52 games to be played 14 venues were used: Bilbao, Valladolid, Vigo, Coruna, Barcelona, Gijon, Oviedo, Elche, AliCante, Valencia, Zaragoza, Malaga, Seville and Madrid. For the first time Africa had two nations in the finals, Algeria and Cameroon. Kuwait from Asia were making their debut, as were New Zealand from Oceania and Honduras from Concacaf. For the first time in 22 years, the holders were beaten in their opening game, Belgium gaining a 1-0 victory over Argentina. In group three Hungary set a new World Cup finals scoring record by beating El Salvador 10-1. England made a fast start, beating France 3-1 in Bilbao. Bryan Robson scored after 27 seconds, a new World Cup record. Making his debut in Northern Ireland’s 0-0 draw with Yugoslavia was Norman Whiteside, who at 17 years and 42 days old broke Pele’s record to become the youngest player to appear in the World Cup finals. Algeria shocked West Germany 2-1 in the first round, but were eliminated on goal difference after the Germans beat Austria 1-0 in a farcical match that allowed them both to qualify for the next round. France’s first round match against Kuwait was also drenched in controversy. The French won 4-1 but had four other goals disallowed by the Soviet referee. Italy’s 3-1 victory over West Germany in the final meant they became the first European team to win the trophy three times, so equalling Brazil’s hat-trick. It was also a personal triumph for Italy’s Dino Zof, who at 40 was the oldest player and captain of a winning side. 1982 World Cup winning side: Italy: Goalkeepers: Ivano Bordon, Giovanni Galli, Dino Zoff. Defenders: Franco Baresi, Guiseppe Bergomi, Antonio Cabrini, Fulvio Collovati, Claudio Gentile, Gaetano Scirea, Pietro Vierchowod. Midfielders: Ginacarlo Antognoni, Franco Causio, Bruno Conti, Giuseppe Dossena, Gianpiero Marini, Daniele Massaro, Gabriele Oriali, Marco Tardelli. Forwards: Alessandro Altobelli, Fransesco Graziani, Paolo Rossi, Franco Selvaggi. Coach: Enzo Bearzot. AFP

Japan thrash India, enter semis Margao, April 23 Japan, who led 6-0 at half time, attacked throughout and outplayed India in all the departments of the game. Shinobu Ohno (10th, 11th, 20th, 87th), Kirana Maruyama (37th, 78th), Kanoko Ito (40th, 74th) and Chihiro Watanabe (38th) scored for Japan, who rested their key players for the next match. Japan went into offensive from the start playing one touch game with quick short passes from the middle followed by moves from the flanks. Ohino, who combined well along with Kanako Ito in front, raided the rival half frequently and drew the first blood in the 10th minute. Chihiro Watanba from the middle split the defence with a through pass to Shinobu, who beat keeper Wangkhem Thabal Devi and put the ball to the far post. A minute later, India’s defence again crumbled and a one-to-one-pass between Shinobu Ohno and Kanako Ito saw the former finding the net. Japan kept on the pressure and Shinobu again succeded in putting the ball in when her long shot from a free-kick found the roof of the net to score her first hat-trick. The Indians played a defensive game with the entire team falling back in order to reduce the margin but keeper Wangkhem Thabal Devi let them down as she conceded two goals in the last five minutes of the first half. Accepting a long pass from Kaori Kasai, Chihiro Watanaba essayed a firm left-footer from the top of the box which the keeper failed to anticipate and the ball found the roof of the net. Two minutes later, Thabal Devi failed to collect the ball off a Yuko Miyazaki long shot at the goal and the ball fell at the foot of Kanoko Ito, who tapped it in to have Japan leading 6-0 at half time. India brought in Mandeep Kaur in place of injured Thabal Devi and did well hold the Japanese girls for nearly half an hour in the second session. However, Japan camped in the rival half and increased the lead in the 74th minute when Kanako Ito scored her second goal off a Yakari Kinga cross. Four minutes later, Karina Maruyama dodged past defender Ibeyaimi Devi and shot home from close to complete her brace. Shinobu Ohno then completed the rout to score her fourth goal to have Japan finish their league engagements with all three wins. The hosts, who could not get a clear look at the rival goal, thus completed their league engagements with one win and two loss to bow out of tournament. PTI

Air-India, PSB move into semis
Mumbai, April 23 Punjab and Sind Bank also came back from a goal down to defeat Bharat Petroleum 2-1 and make the semis in the other match today. Air-India did not have a smooth take off as the CISF lads launched raids after raids in the early part of the match. Air-India composed themselves and then in the dying minutes of the first half of their third penalty corner Davinder Kumar scored after a perfect set piece. Air-India were two zero up when Vikram Pillay converted a penalty stroke in the 17th minute of the second half. With Air-India sitting pretty it looked as if they would cruise into the semis but CISF had different ideas and they reduced the margin in the 27th minute of the second half through Xaxa who tapped in home after receiving a pass from Sushil Kumar. CISF restored parity in the 33rd minute of the second half when Xaxa once again scored from a pass by Bharat Kumar. In the resultant tie-breaker Vikram Pillay, T. Kullu, Roshan Tete and Surinder Kundu scored with Tushar Khandekar missing, while for CISF Xaxa and Edmon Kerketta scored with Adrian blocking the shots of Ekka and Parmvir to put his team into the semis. In the other match fancied Punjab and Sind Bank came back strongly after being a goal down to prevail by the odd goal in three over Bharat Petroleum. Punjab and Sind Bank had the first chance of the match in the sixth minute when Baljit Singh Saini fed a through ball to Sanjeev Kumar, but his push went straight into the goalkeeper’s pad. Bharat Petroleum, then launching a counter attack, received their second penalty corner which was converted by a direct hit by Saurab Bishnoi to put his team up by a goal in the ninth minute. Saini once again set B.S. Chandi free with a square pass but he could only manage a weak push straight to the goalkeeper in the 11th minute. Punjab and Sind Bank managed to restore parity in the 15th minute when Sanjeev Kumar Dang sounded the boards through a direct hit of the third penalty corner. Four minutes later Punjab and Sind Bank took the lead when Mandeep Singh launched a move from the left and passed on to Dang who pushed across to Parminder for him to tap the ball home. UNI

Vandana, Medini cause upsets
Pune, April 23 Seventeen-year-old Medini pulled off the first upset of the day when she defeated second seed and winner of the first leg Samrita Sekar 6-3 6-3. In another match, 14-year-old Chennai girl Vandana displayed a superb tennis to outplay local girl and third leg winner Radhika Tulpule 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. However, top seed Sai Jayalakshami got past Nandini Perumal 6-7 (7-5) 6-1, 6-0 to move into the quarterfinals. Sonal Phadke was the other player to enter the last eight when she thrashed Indonesian junior Eveline Rusidianto 6-2 6-3. Fourth seed Sheetal Gautam was the only seed to have an easy outing as she made short work of Krushmi Chedda 6-3 6-0 while in the longest match of the day Rati Kumar scraped past Kamini Murugaboopathy 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (9-7). Medini, daughter of former badminton international Sanjay Sharma, hammered an array of strokes on both sides to dispose off Samrita in straight sets. Sharma also hit stunning backhand winners and rushed to the net at the very first opportunity, hassling Sekar into commiting unforced errors on way to her first major victory. However, there was another shock in store when local girl and pre-tournament favourite Radhika Tulpule was beaten by Vandana Murali 6-3, 4-6, 3-6 in a match lasting two hours and 8 minutes. Radhika started the first set confidently breaking Murali in the first and third games and taking the first at 6-3. In the second set, Radhika, who was leading, lost her bearing and committed errors to let Murali break her in the game. Murali’s confidence grew with every point and she then went on to clinch the second set and level set scores. In the decider, Radhika looked totally disoriented and casual in her approach as Murali raced to a 5-0 lead. Radhika tried to increase the pace and looked like making a comeback taking three games in the row but the day belonged to Vandana as she fired all cylinders to take three points in a row in the ninth game to cause the upset. It was a bad end to Radhika’s satellite sojourn as she could manage to make just one WTA point in the circuit because of the loss. She, however, remains in the event as she and Sai Jayalakshmi are looking for their fourth consecutive title in the doubles event. It was a harrowing match for top seed Sai Jayalakshmi as unheralded Nandini Perumal played a confidently to take the first set 7-6 (7-4). Sai, who was lethargic, got her act together to take the second set 6-1 and draw level. In the decider, Sai went for the kill to take the set 6-0 and the match in 2 hours and 16 minutes. Results (all pre-quarterfinals): Medini Sharma bt Samrita Sekar 6-3 6-3; Vandana Murali bt Radhika Tulpule 3-6, 6-4, 6-3; Sai Jayalakshmi bt Nandini Perumal 6-7 (7-5) 6-1 6-0; Sonal Phadke bt Eveline Rusdianto 6-2 6-3; Sheetal Gautam bt Krushmi Chedda 6-3 6-0; Rati Kumar bt Kamini Murugaboopathy 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (9-7).
