Yuvraj, Chopra put North in command Chandigarh, March 6 After
East Zone were bowled out for 322 in morning, the early fall of Gautam
Gambhir’s wicket again brought Yuvraj to the crease. Yuvraj started
from where he had left off in the first innings. Displaying remarkable
temperament and skill the star one-day batsman toyed with the rival
bowling attack and notched up 176-ball 148 — his second century of
the match. Akash Chopra was unlucky to miss a century and was out on 95 as North Zone finished at 292 for 3 at close on the third day of the Duleep Trophy final at the PCA Stadium at Mohali today. With eight runs in arrears, North now have an overall lead of 300 runs. In fact, the directive from the zonal selector to Yuvraj to play the match proved a blessing in disguise for the flamboyant batsman. Two flawless centuries in the same match under his belt should now make Yuvraj a firm favourite to get a berth in the Test squad. Yuvraj was in control from the time he came in to bat. Chopra complemented Yuvraj well. Both kept on finding boundaries at regular intervals and with brisk running between the wickets kept the scoreboard moving. Chopra, who was out cheaply in the first innings, was in no mood to let slip the opportunity this time. Being in terrific touch Yuvraj completed his fifty with eight delectable fours. He continued to bat in the cavalier fashion and some of his shots in the cover region were a treat to watch. He lifted left-arm spinner Utpal Chatterjee over the mid-wicket fence for the lone six of the day. Perseverance finally paid off for seamer S S Paul, who ended the onslaught having Yuvraj caught behind after the batsman had made 148. Yuvraj and Chopra added 230 runs in 221 minutes for the second-wicket stand. Chopra, who had won so much admiration for his gutsy batting in Tests during the recent Australian tour, went for an extravagant shot when a century was there for the taking, but ended up ballooning the ball for the mid-on fielder to take a simple catch. Chopra 202-ball 95 included 10 fours. Earlier,
Kiran Powar, the overnight East Zone not out batsman, played with
caution in pursuit of the 43 runs that East needed to overtake North
Zone’s first innings total. With the help of nudges and taps in the
gaps, Powar took the score past 300 in the company of Debashish
Mohanty. For the reasons known only to skipper Dinesh Mongia himself, Ashish Nehra and Joginder Sharma, probably the best seamers form the side on view yesterday, were not pressed in service. Gagandeep got his first wicket of the innings hitting Mohanty plumb in front of the wicket off a delivery which deviated in. The arrival of S.S. Paul as the last batsman enlivened the proceedings as Powar greeted Bhandari with two rasping boundaries in the same over. Then he took the aerial route and clobbered off-spinner Sarandeep Singh over the mid-wicket fence for a big six. He ran a quick double to complete a well-deserved century. When eight runs were needed to level the North Zone total, Powar again tried to hoist Sarandeep over mid-wicket, but ended up giving a simple catch to Gambhir right on the fence as East Zone innings folded at 322.

Indians may not be susceptible to reverse swing during series There is a worry in Pakistan camp that Indians might not
be susceptible against reverse swing. The way they played in Australia
it was apparent they knew what the ball would do. It might still be a
mystery for teams like England and South Africa. That doesn’t seem
the case with the Indians. We in Pakistan are very good in “caring”
for the ball. We make sure that at least one side of the ball retains
its shine. After 30-40 overs, the dry conditions of our subcontinent
help the ball to reverse swing. When Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis
operated, we tried our best to ensure the ball didn’t get wet or too
much of sweat was not applied on it. I remember the Old Trafford
test of 2001 when sweat on the hands of Saqlain Mushtaq didn’t allow
the ball to dry up enough. Saqlain usually sweats a lot. In order to
counter it, and to make sure our fast bowlers got their way, he used
to apply a cream to keep his hands dry. These days I am speaking a lot to Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Aami, who incidentally is from my academy, about the plans they should hatch against Indian batsmen. Most of the Indian batsmen are greats but everyone has faults. As a coach, you must look at the current fault of batsmen. Sachin Tendulkar, for instance, does not have a long stride forward and any delivery which comes in quickly from a good length spot, he tends to inside edge on to his stumps. Tendulkar,
of course, is a genius and I would never forget his double century in
Sydney. He clearly was struggling with his form. He had been dismissed
a few times driving on the off-side. He cleverly took the centre
rather than the off-stump guard. It allowed him to walk on to his
off-stump and any deliveries pitched on the middle and leg were worked
on the onside beautifully. He did the same against us during the
world cup. I had got injured and was not there when the Indians batted
but if I was there, I would have never let Shoaib Akhtar take the new
ball. I use to help Waqar with my inputs. It should have been Waqar
with the new ball. Shoaib should have bowled with the old ball.
Tendulkar settled that match in the first 10 overs itself. Now of course it would be shoaib to start our operations. He is the fastest bowler in the world and he now also has good focus. He is bowling as well with the new ball as he did during the 1999 world cup. I have been telling him to avoid verbal intimidation and rather let his deeds do the talking. Let’s
admit Shoaib is the glamour boy of international cricket. He knows
when he is on the field, everyone expects him to strike all the time.
He actually enjoys the attention and is known to take four or five
wickets — if the rhythm is right — in a matter of two overs. Mohammad
sami is not as quick as Shoaib but in terms of consistent speed, he
perhaps is the best in Pakistan. He regularly bowls in excess of 145
kmph. He is very quick off the pitch. England captain Michael Vaughan
acknowledges him to be the fastest off the pitch. New Zealand batsmen
had no clue to his pace. He can also indulge in verbal intimidation,
actually lot of young bowlers do it as we saw Irfan Pathan and Brad
Williams in Australia. Shoaib does not do much talking but he has his
own mannerisms and style. Shabbir Ahmed restricts his menace to his
pace alone. He is back from his correctives in Australia and he has
pace and bounce which he extracts from his unusual height. The good
thing with these three s’s is that all are different and bring their
own sets of problems for batsmen. Shoaib, Sami and Shabbir are
different but all are hostile and genuinely quick. Rana Naved-ul-Hasan is a youngster who made his debut under my captaincy in Sharjah but was dropped for Sri Lanka, because of which I had a showdown with Aamir Sohail, the then Chairman of selectors. He
is a very decent prospect, his pace is better than that of Abdur
Razzaq and Azhar Mahmood and he is a very good exponent of reverse
swing. He is also a very good batsman. A very steady cricketer who
could be a help to the team in more than one area.

Galle, March 6 Three of the current top order Sri Lankan batsmen — Marvan Atapattu, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara — average over 80 runs at Galle. And, for Sri Lanka’s ace bowler Muttiah Muralitharan, the venue is a favourite hunting ground. Muralitharan has picked up 10 wickets on three occasions at Galle - 13 for 171 runs against South Africa in 2000, 11 for 170 against the West Indies in 2001 and 11 for 93 against England in 2003. At age 30, the spin ace also became the youngest and the quickest bowler in cricket history to the reach the 400-wicket mark when Sri Lanka defeated Zimbabwe at Galle in January 2002. “I feel that the pitch will favour the spinners,” said Jayananda Warnaweera, a former Test spin bowler and the curator at Galle Stadium. “For both Murali and Shane Warne this will be a good hunting ground.” But for Ponting who makes Test captaincy debut after the retirement of Stephen Waugh in January, grinding out a result at Galle is the answer. “You just have to bide your time and hang in there as long as possible,” Ponting said. “Games can change quickly, but more often than not they do not here. You have got to grind out Test wins over here,” Ponting says his trump card, leg spinner Shane Warne, can change the tide in Australia’s favour. Warne will represent Australia for the first time since returning from a 12-month drug ban. “It is good to have him back around us again. Everyone understands that it has been a pretty tough 12 months for him and he has worked exceptionally hard,” said Ponting. “We have got two of the best leg spinners in the world and three of the best fast bowlers in the world. And we have an all-rounder who has performed exceptionally well over the last 12 months,” Ponting said in obvious reference to Andrew Symonds. “There is so much flexibility and so many options.” But the Australian fast bowling arsenal may be depleted if Brett Lee can’t recover from an ankle injury he sustained during a warm-up match in Colombo on Thursday. Lee has said that unless he is 100 per cent fit, he would not risk joining the final playing on Monday. Wary of Australia’s bowling power, Sri Lankan selectors have packed the team with seven specialist batsmen and four spinners. Leg spinner Kaushal Lokuarachchi, who was handed a four-month ban from cricket after being involved in a late night fatal motor accident in August, will aid star spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, off spinner Kumar Dharmasena and leg spinner Upul Chandana. The selectors have also called up left-arm fast bowler Nuwan Zoysa after an impressive comeback during the last month’s one-day series. Zoysa, who played his last Test in May 2002 against England at Birmingham, is expected to share the new ball with Chaminda Vaas. Opener Avishka Gunawardene, who scored 70 runs for the Sri Lanka Cricket President’s XI in a warm-up match against Australia last week, returns after a long absence from the national team. The left-handed Gunawardene has played only three Tests in the past six years. For Sri Lankan captain Hashan Tillakaratne the Galle match will be a testing time for his own career. The 36-year-old Tillakaratne led Sri Lanka to a 1-0 win against England in the three-match December Test series. — AP

Pakistan beat India 5-3
Madrid, March 6 Abbas enjoyed a 100 per cent success today as he converted all the four penalty corners that Pakistan forced in the 2nd, 28th, 41st and 62nd minutes, while winger Rehan Butt socred a spectacular field goal from a Muhammad Nadeem pass in the 34th. For India, who clearly outplayed the Pakistanis for much of the game, Deepak Thakur (33rd) and Gagan Ajit Singh (42nd, 44th) underlined the potency of the attack. While Pakistanis recorded their third straight win from as many games, India suffered their first loss and remain on four points from the 5-3 victory against Malaysia and 1-1 draw with Belgium. The Indian deep defence came up with a good performance overall, but were punished each time they committed a mistake that led to the four penalty corners. In the midfield, it was Viren Rasquinha who came up with a truly outstanding performance to inspire his team-mates. Among the forwards, Gagan Ajit Singh was left to patrol the Pakistani circle and posed a serious threat, but a sharper finish from him and his colleagues could have turned the match for India. The Pakistanis played second fiddle, struggling to get the ball away from their circle. They came up with a few stray raids, and to their good fortune, they were able to manufacture the penalty corners they were looking for before unleashing Abbas on the hapless Indians. India did all the running while Pakistan made better use of the opportunities. That in effect was the trend of play in the first-half. Undoubtedly, the Indians looked the better team for much of the 35 minutes, but their failure to translate the supremacy into goals proved to be their undoing. Deepak Thakur (twice), Gagan Ajit Singh and Baljit Singh Dhillon, all missed out on scoring chances. Pakistan were presented their first of two chances in the second minute when an infringement by captain Dilip Tirkey resulted in a penalty corner that Abbas promptly converted. India then proceeded to dominate the exchanges. Past the 24th minute, the Indians suffered a setback when full-back Kanwalpreet Singh was sent out on a yellow card suspension after he brought down Butt near the centre-line. Pakistan forced their second penalty corner against the run of play, and Abbas came up with a clever conversion to put Pakistan 2-0 up. The Indians, to their credit, kept their composure and pulled one back in the 33rd when Thakur swatted home a deflection off a defender's stick following a hit-in by Gagan Ajit Singh. However, the Pakistanis retaliated from a fast counter-attack with Nadeem putting through Butt who got past an advancing goalkeeper Devesh Chauhan and slid the ball into the boards even as he fell. India showed considerable urgency in the second-half, but it was Abbas yet again who converted the third penalty corner to give Pakistan a 4-1 advantage. At this point, India enjoyed their best period of the match when Gagan scored twice in a two-minute spell to put his team back in the hunt (3-4). But then, the Pakistanis came up with the killer punch in the final minutes with Abbas coming good with yet another penatly corner to virtually floor the Indians. Malaysia beat Canada Malaysia finally got among points following a close 3-2 win against Canada in a pool B match today. In a rousing match, Muhammad Amin Rahim converted a penalty stroke in the 67th minute to break a 2-2 deadlock and fetch Malaysia their first win in three games. The Canadians slid to third straight defeat that could well end their Olympic dream. Earlier, Canada took the lead from a fourth penalty corner conversion by Wayne Fernandes, but Malaysia struck twice in a two-minute spell through Jiwa Mohan (25th, penalty corner) and Boon Huat Chua (27th) for a 2-1 half-time lead. Canada equalised midway through the second session when Fernandes came good with another penalty corner before Rahim flicked home a penalty stroke for the match-winner. Malaysia, having lost to New Zealand and India, put in a far better performance in their bid to secure their first points. But they had to contend with an equally determined Canada who, in fact, could have wrapped up the game in the second session had they not missed a couple of open chances.

Madrid, March 6 In a match that was of more than passing interest to the Indian team, New Zealand scored through Hayden Shaw (19th) on a penalty corner and Patrick Burrows (25th) who drove home a Wayne McIndoe pass. But the Kiwis, who led 2-1 at the break, caved in under tremendous pressure during the last 20 minutes to come away with just one point that took their tally to seven from three outings. The Belgium team, who held India to a 1-1 draw in their opening encounter, was brought back in the reckoning by the hard-working Houssein who made full use of the opponents lapses to find the net in the 18th and 69th minute. In fact, Belgium could even have won the game but for the sitters they wasted in the second-half. The Kiwis, gold medallists at the 1976 Games and who are hoping to qualify for the Olympics for the first time since 1992, dominated much of the first-half, but after going 2-1 up, they failed to sustain the momentum. — PTI

Namdharis
shock Air-India in hockey
Mumbai, March 6 Namdhari Eleven, who led 3-1 at the breather, were given an early lead in the third minute of the match when Gurcharan Singh converted the first penalty corner. Air India equalised in the 21st minute when Satish Kumar sounded the board off Gavin Ferreira pass. Namdharis Didar Singh (junior) then converted two peanlty corners in quick succession (22nd and 33rd minutes) and the visitors were sitting pretty with a two goal cushion at half time. Sardar Singh further increased Namdharis lead with a field goal in the 43rd minute and Air-India got a consolation goal in the 62nd minute when Rajesh Chauhan converted the sixth penalty corner. Skipper Gurudev Singh spearheaded Railways’ goal glut with three goals in the fourth, 45th and 63rd minute while Harish Timori scored a brace (49th and 59th minutes). Other scorers for the winners were Shanta Kumar (eighth), Hemant Ghete (22nd), Shivendra Singh (53rd) and Ingo Singh (59th minute).

JCT have edge on Haywards Chandigarh, March 6 Although
much water has flowed since that fateful day when Haywards dealth a
stunning blow to the mill men, JCT are not taking the debutants
lightly. Promoted from the second division after having finished on
top last year, Haywards Sports Club, coached by Peter Valles and his
deputy Clifford Chukwuma, showed early promise in the current league
upsetting JCT by a huge margin after holding Vasco 2-2 in the opening
round. However, Churchill Brothers halted Haywards in their tracks
with a 3-1 victory which was followed by another 0-1 defeat at the
hands of Dempo. But Haywards once again demonstrated their firepower
trouncing Indian bank 4-2 at Chennai on December 20. The Goans
thereafter defeated Kolkata's Tollygunge Agragami on January 4 with a
goal through Jerose Oliveira. The last major victory recorded by
Haywards was against Salgaocar whom they edged out 1-0 thanks to Dudu
Omagbemi at Margao on January 16. However, three days back,
Haywards suffered a shocking 1-2 defeat at the hands of Tollygunge at
Kolkata which only added to their woes. Currently placed ninth with 16
points, Haywards are expected to go all out to secure crucial points.
In the attack, foreign recruit Dudu Omagbemi has been outstanding. He
is assisted by another foreigner, Abdulatif Seriki, who incidentally
was with JCT a few seasons back. Another promising player in the Goan
outfit is Avinash Thapa, who incidentally scored one of the goals
against JCT in their home match. Among others who have scored for
Haywards in the current league are Bibiano Fernandes, Alvito
Rodrigues, Louis Aniveta, and Francis Andrade but it will be Omagbemi
on whom a lot will depend as his lethal strikes have beaten the best
of defenders and goalkeepers. JCT, on the other hand, placed fifth
position in the league with 22 points, will be banking on
internationals Joe Paul Ancheri and IM Vijayan who will spearhead the
attack. Nigerian Stephan Abarowei and Harvinder are also likely to
play a key role as usual while the defence will be manned by stopper
backs Musa Aliu and KV Dhanesh. Dhanesh, formerly of ITI, Bangalore,
has been a pillar of strength along with wing back Daljit Singh. Medio
Ram Pal, and right winger Jaswinder have also lent sharpness to the
attack and it remains to be seen whether coach Sukhwinder Singh fields
the diminutive Baldeep Singh in the starting line-up as in the
previous match against Churchill Brothers in which he played a stellar
role. On the whole, the dice appears to be loaded against the Goan
outfit given JCT's fine run in the league recently. The kick-off is at
6 pm.
