No respite for West Indies Pune, October 25 In a surprise move, Railways decided to send Khanolkar and Murali Kartik as their opening pair. The gamble paid unexpected dividends as the duo knocked off 167 runs after West Indies had declared their first innings at 449 for eight. Khanolkar smashed 102 runs off just 92 deliveries with 20 boundaries before being caught by Darren Powell at covers just before the close of play. Kartik, who generally comes at number 10, also showed his batting prowess and was unbeaten on 72 at stumps while Tejinderpal Singh was on two. West Indies had earlier recovered from the loss of six quick wickets to post a challenging total. Resuming at their overnight 297 for two, West Indies slumped to 354 for eight before Gareth Breese and Mahendra Nagamootoo came up with fine partnership for the ninth wicket. Breese struck 57 runs while Nagamootoo chipped in with 39 as they added 95 runs for the unfinished ninth-wicket stand before West Indies declared their innings at the stroke of tea. For Railways, Kulamani Parida finished with four wickets for 107 runs while Harvinder Singh claimed two wickets. West Indies found the going extremely tough in the morning session when they could add just 50 runs in 27 overs while losing three important wickets. The two overnight batsmen, Darren Ganga and Marlon Samuels, and Ryan Hinds were sent back to pavilion when West Indies had scored just 11 runs in the morning. Scoreboard West Indies (1st innings): Hinds c Martin b Parida 50 Gayle b Harvinder 154 Ganga c Kartik b Harvinder 71 Samuels c Abhay b Hussain 4 R.

However, now since the cricketers are meeting at a lunch and also organising a fund-raising campaign during their week-long stay in Kolkata, the question of the cricketers forming an association has once again come up. |

SAI suspends Sunita’s coach New Delhi, October 25 But the positive dope tests of weightlifters Krishnan Madaswamy and Sathesha Rai during the Commonwealth Games at Manchester and Sunita Rani at Busan, have forced the authorities to make a critical assessment of the roles being played by the “foreign experts”. The SAI has suspended Renu Kohli to facilitate the inquiry ordered by the Amateur Athletic Federation of India (AAFI) on the dope testing fiasco. The AAFI has appointed a one-man commission, Sushil Salwan, to probe into the Sunita Rani dope testing issue. Nothing much need to be read in Renu Kohli’s suspension as she would be reinstated if the inquiry commission absolves her of any wrong-doing. Sunita Rani has repeatedly stated that she had not taken any banned substance knowingly, and all the medicines she took was under the advise of the doctor. Meanwhile, the doctor who accompanied the athletic contingent, Dr Jawaharlal Jain, has already deposed before the commission and expressed his innocence. Dr Jain went to Busan at the cost of the AAFI, as he had not been cleared by the government. |

Escaping jail my
biggest win: Becker Berlin, October 25 “Had I not won Wimbledon at 17, then I would not have had to fight this battle at 34,” said Becker, who was handed a two-year suspended jail term and a heavy fine by a Munich court yesterday. “If I had not become so famous and rich, the tax authorities would not have been so interested in me,” the fallen German tennis hero was quoted as saying in the Bild daily today. “Therefore those two fights (Wimbledon and the tax trial) can be compared. The most important win was the one in court. Had I lost there, I would have faced a coupled of very bitter years.”

In the first quarterfinal league match, Bengal collected three points against Assam with goals from Deependu Biswas and Amar Pyne in the sixth and 42nd minutes.

Mustafa Ghouse, Sridhar in final New Delhi, October 25 In the semifinal matches played today, Mustafa Ghouse stunned second-seeded Nitin Kirtane 7-5, 6-4 while Vinod Sridhar outlasted giant killer Somdev Verman, also of Tamil Nadu, at 6-0, 6-7 (2-7), 6-2. In the women’s singles semifinals, Sonal Phadke accounted for Shruti Dhawan of Chandigarh 7-6 (8-6),6-3 while Isha Lakhani outlasted fourth-seeded Ankita Bhambri of Delhi 6-3,7-5. Isha Lakhani is in line for a double crown as she has also stormed into the girls under-18 final, in which she will clash against fifth-seeded fellow-Maharashtrian Sasa Abraham. Top-seeded Isha beat fourth-seeded Lata Assudani 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 6-0 while Sasha Abraham shocked second-seeded Poonam Reddy of Maharashtra 6-0,6-3. Isha would be making her maiden entry into the final of a women’s singles match, as till now, she had dominated only on the junior stage. Amanjot Singh of Chandigarh will meet Arun Prakash of Tamil Nadu in the boys under-18 singles final. Amanjot Singh, who has been on a roll in the past few weeks, claimed that it was his 21st victory on the trot when he stunned Chatwinder Singh, also of Chandigarh, in the semifinal at 6-1,6-4. Amanjot Singh was simply superb, as his electric movements on the court had left little room for Chatwinder to exhibit his skills. Expectedly, Amanjot raced to a quick victory. Arun Prakash quelled the challenge of Parantap Chaturvedi, scoring a straight sets 6-3, 6-3 victory. Nitin Kirtane, who made a mess of his chances in the singles match against Mustafa Ghouse, however, derived some consolation in the afternoon when he partnered Saurabh Panja to beat Rohan Gajjar and Ajay Ramaswamy 7-6,4-6,6-4 in the men’s doubles final. Vimal Ragini and Priyanka Parekh beat Sarnya Pattabi and N Venkatesh 6-1,6-4 to annex the girls doubles title. Nitin Kirtane and Shruti Dhawan failed to seize their chances and were themselves to blame for their defeats. Mustafa Ghouse, who fired three consecutive aces to get off the mark on a brilliant note, set the tone and tenor for the match. Ghouse continued to serve effectively, and it came in handy when he needed to get the big points. Nitin, on the other hand, struggled with his backhand, and gave away many an easy point. He did make a forceful comeback when he pulled back from a 1-4 deficit to make the score 5-5 in the first set. But here ended his enterprise as Ghouse rose to the occasion when he needed to and claimed the set. In the second set too, Nitin had break points in each of Ghouse’s service games, but the second seed could not cash in on the lapses of Ghouse and squandered away the advantage. Shruti Dhawan, too, messed up her chances after showing signs of making a match of it. |
