India respond well to Kiwi challenge
Hamilton, December 21 After being shot out for 99 in their first innings, the Indians gave back a dose of their own medicine to the home side by bundling them out for 94, thanks to a career-best five for 29 by left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan. Struggling again on a difficult wicket which, however, had eased a little on the third day, the Indians managed to reach 154 in their second innings with Rahul Dravid once again playing well for a solid 39, Sachin Tendulkar cracking a crisp 32 and Virender Sehwag hitting a quickfire 25. Needing 160 to win the match and the two-Test series, the New Zealanders hung on grimly till the end of the extended day’s play to make 24 without loss. An easy dropped catch of Lou Vincent by Sanjay Bangar off the bowling of Tinu Yohannan helped the home team’s cause, but it is still anybody’s game. The Indian first innings lasted just seven balls this morning, as the last two wickets fell for the addition of seven runs to the overnight score of 92 for eight. The young Parthiv Patel, who had done well to hang in for 44 balls yesterday, was out to the first delivery he faced today, caught by wicketkeeper Robbie Hart off Jacob Oram for his overnight eight. Ashish Nehra pulled Shane Bond for a six before edging the next delivery to first slip for a good catch to Stephen Fleming. The Indians had been bowled out for their third consecutive low score on this tour, but the bowlers responded very well to the challenge this time, proving their effectiveness on a helpful pitch. New Zealand first innings lasted just 38.2 overs, exactly the same as the Indian first innings, and the visitors were back on the crease midway into the second session. Zaheer Khan, who had returned his first five-wicket haul in the Wellington Test, struck early to dismiss opener Lou Vincent when New Zealand had scored only seven runs and then claimed the wickets of Mark Richardson (13), Fleming (21), Hart (3) and Daniel Vettori (6) to grab his career-best haul. The 32-run partnership for the second wicket between Richardson and Fleming was the best that New Zealand could muster as wickets fell at regular intervals, with Nehra and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh also chipping in with two scalps each. New Zealand’s first innings total of 94 was their lowest against India, a decrease of six runs in their previous low of 100 posted in Wellington in 1980-81.

Coach blames batsmen Hamilton, December 21 Aberhart felt that even though the wicket favoured the fast bowlers, it was not so bad that India and New Zealand would only score 99 and 94, respectively, in their first innings. “The pitch was not easy but I don’t think it was that bad. It was some poor batting from both sides. Also, there has been good bowling from both sides,” Aberhart said after the third day’s play which saw New Zealand placed at 24 without loss in their second innings while chasing a victory target of 160. As many as 22 wickets fell on an extended day’s play today, with India, who managed a marginal five-run first innings lead, being all out for 154 in their second innings. Aberhart said had the batsmen applied themselves better, bigger scores were not impossible on this surface. “Most of our wickets fell to attacking shots. A couple of players have shown that if you get in there and show patience, you can stay in. “I think obviously you want to see some runs being scored. Conditions are more helpful to bowlers but more runs should be scored in Tests,” he said.

Chetan Sharma writes WHAT a day it was, made dramatic by all the ebb and flow. One moment it was New Zealand’s game, then it was India’s, then New Zealand again before the Indian tailenders evened the contest. At close on the third day, it is anybody’s match though I would have to concede that the New Zealanders hold a slight advantage. The Hamilton pitch is turning out to be a real villain and though batsmen of both the teams have fared miserably in the two days of play so far, you have to pity them for the conditions are heavily loaded in favour of the bowlers. As reputed international batsmen, one expected them to rise to the occasion but barring a couple of batsmen, they turned their backs to the battle. It is amazing that 22 wickets fell during a single day. Zaheer Khan was responsible for bringing his side back into the game with a fiery spell of five for 29 in the morning but Daryl Tuffy returned the compliment by blowing away the Indian top order. As I was a fast bowler myself so I know the pacers must love this Hamilton pitch. If the Indian first innings was shocking, so was New Zealand’s. In reply to India’s 99, New Zealand managed only 94. It reinforces the fact that had the Indians scored a few runs more in the last Test at Wellington, they may have been able to put more pressure on New Zealand batsmen. Who knows, India may have won that Test going by the way New Zealand batsmen wilted in the face of pressure today. Zaheer has had an outstanding year and the man must be congratulated for his work ethics. He is fit and hungry for success, and knows fully well where to pitch the ball if he wants to pick up wickets. As long as he is around, India have a bowler who will give his best. I was also happy to see Ashish Nehra bowl a crucial spell in the morning. However, the Indian second innings seemed to have undone the work of their bowlers. I have been saying that Virender Sehwag should be asked to bat in the middle order in these conditions and it was a wise decision not to ask him to open. But asking Parthiv Patel to do the job was like throwing him to the lions. Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid looked the part but flattered to deceive while nothing is going right for VVS Laxman and Saurav Ganguly. Well, if you take the captaincy away from him, Ganguly cannot justify his selection in the Test side. New Zealand began cautiously in the second innings, and were lucky not to lose a wicket. However, things can change in the morning and if the Indian seamers put their heart in the battle and fielders hold on to the catches, we are in for an interesting finish tomorrow. |

Gagandeep fashions Punjab victory Chandigarh, December 21 Seamer Gagandeep Singh took over at this stage and struck decisive blows to bring Uttar Pradesh victory charge to an abrupt halt. The visitors, chasing 297 runs to win, were sitting pretty at 228 for five. But persevering Gagandeep wrecked the Uttar Pradesh innings, completing a dramatic hat-trick sending back dangerous Nikhil Chopra, Javed Anwar and M Tripathi. Seamer Vineet Sharma then mopped up the tail as the visitors needing 297 to win, were bowled out for 249, falling short of the target by 47 runs in their Ranji Trophy elite group “B” match at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium at SAS Nagar, near here, today. Uttar Pradesh lost their last five wickets for the addition of just 21 runs. Gagandeep claimed four wickets, Vineet Sharma claimed three wickets, while Amit Uniyal and Reetinder Sodhi scalped one wicket apiece. Nikhil Chopra, former India off-spinner, emerged the best batman from the side. Chopra dealt mainly in boundaries — he found the ropes 13 times — before falling prey to Gagandeep Singh. Chopra scored 64 off 89 deliveries and with his dismissal Uttar Pradesh campaign suffered serious blow. Gagandeep then dismissed wicketkeeper Javed Anwar and M Tripathi as the visitors suddenly slid to 228 for eight. Seamer Vineet then sent back Saif and Ratnesh Mishra immediately thereafter to seal a victory for his side. Earlier in the morning, Punjab suffered a dramatic batting collapse. Starting from their overnight score of 158 for four they were reduced to 179 for eight before being skittled out for 199.Seamer Mritunjay Tripathi finished with a highly satisfying haul of six wickets.

Punjab lift hockey gold Hyderabad, December 21 The teams went into half time with Punjab leading by a solitary goal. Earlier, in the morning Services trounced Karnataka 4-1 to pick up the bronze medal. Punjab went 2-0 up almost immediately. An error by Maharashtra goalkeeper Ryan Sequiera, the hero of the last match, cost his team the goal. A shot taken by Daljit Singh from outside the circle was padded away by Sequiera when he could have easily let it roll into the goal since no Punjab player had touched the ball inside the circle. Following a goal mouth melee Ajit Pal Singh put the ball into the goal in the 37th minute. Maharashtra then went on an all-out attack and forced two penalty corners within two minutes. From the second penalty corner in the 45th minute, Girish Pimpale pushed the ball to Dhanraj Pillay who had come to the left of the field. He relayed the ball back to Pimpale, who from an acute angle found the goal to put Maharashtra back into the match. However, Punjab taking advantage of Maharashtra’s weak defence increased their lead to 3-1 in the 50th minute through Gagan Ajit Singh. Maharashtra then tried hard to get back into the match but the Punjab defence proved too strong for them and the match ended in a 3-1 win for Punjab giving it a gold medal, while Maharashtra had to be satisfied with a silver.

Punjab retain soccer gold Hyderabad, December 21 Guravinder struck the winner two minutes before the end of extra time to seal the fate of Bengal, who had earlier taken the lead through teenage striker Mohammed Rahim Nabi before Saranjit Singh made the scoreline 1-1 for Punjab. Bengal, who dominated the proceedings in the first half but were done in by some poor finishing, went into the lead in the 71st minute when Nabi headed in a volley from Pradip Indu. The goal served as a rude awakening for Punjab and they launched a series of raids to draw level six minutes later as Saranjit headed home a Guravinder Pal Singh cross from the right. The match rolled into extra time as the two teams failed to break the 1-1 deadlock in the regulation time. Punjab finally had the last laugh with Guravinder capitalising on an error on the part of Bengal custodian Prasanta Dora.

JCT overpower Tollygunge Agragami Ludhiana, December 21 Going all out for victory from the start, the mill men dominated the proceedings although Tollygunge did pose danger on more than one occasion. JCT displayed perfect understanding, with Nigerian stopper back Musa Aliu effectively manning the defence along with Harpreet and wing back Daljit. International Joe Paul Ancheri marshalled the midfield along with Jaswinder and despite the absence of IM Vijayan, lent constant support to the attack led by Ghanian striker Kwabena Yeboah, Hardip Gill and Harvinder. New Ghanian goalkeeper Mansuru Mohammed, playing his first match for JCT, also gave a good account of himself by bringing off some spectacular saves. After Tollygunge tested Mansuru through Akeem Abolanle’s powerful right-footer in the opening minutes, JCT took control. In the 23rd minute the mill men forged ahead. Striker Hardip Gill latched on to the ball in the Tollygunge territory and with full confidence unleashed a power-packed long ranger from 25 yards. The ball rose high over the outstretched hands of the Tollygunge custodian before dipping into the net (1-0). Tollygunge hit back with a counter-attack through Mehtab Hossain but his excellent attempt from the left missed the mark by inches. A few minutes before the breather, JCT initiated another move with Harvinder putting medio Hardip Saini in possession but the latter’s booming right-footer sailed over. Tollygunge also had a chance soon after but Kenyan Moses N. Oira’s diving header sailed past the upright. The second half also witnessed a strong JCT resurgence with Joe Paul Ancheri playing a stellar role, testing the Tollygunge custodian with powerful long rangers. The laborious Jaswinder also set up some good moves and on one occasion, Yeboah had a narrow miss when he shot over despite having a clear view of the goal. The JCT goal had a narrow escape in the 70th minute when a dangerous overhead pass by Abolanle to substitute Ashim Biswas saw the latter rising high to connect . Although he did succeed in despatching the ball goalwards, he was slightly off target. With hardly two minutes to go for the long whistle, a brilliant solo effort by Harvinder, who incidentally scored the match-winner against Indian Bank, resulted in the second goal for JCT. Gaining control of the ball neat the centre line, Harvinder raced down the right flank, beating at least three defenders before booting the ball into the far corner to send a wave of joy in the Phagwara outfits’s camp(2-0). JCT will now travel to Margao where they will meet Dempo on December 27. |
