Sohail eyes world record, Pak look to wrap up series
Chandigarh, October 5 Having equalled the legendary Paul Litjens’ record of 267 goals in the fifth Test in New Delhi yesterday, Sohail appears destined to achieve the milestone here tomorrow given his track record in converting short corners. For hosts India, struggling to find their rhythm with only one victory in five matches, the match tomorrow may be another uphill task. What has added to the team’s worries is the injury sustained by skipper Dilip Tirkey, who was stretchered off during the fifth Test at New Delhi yesterday after being hit on the temple by a drag flick taken by Sohail Abbas off a penalty corner, which subsequently resulted in a penalty stroke. Though initial tests have revealed that there is no fracture either on his wrist or in the temple region, yet his inclusion in the team for tomorrow’s tie appears doubtful. The Indian team, along with the Pakistan squad, arrived by the afternoon flight minus the skipper who stayed back along with German coach Gerhard Rach in New Delhi. In the five Tests played so far, Pakistan have tasted success in three while India have won only one. At Karachi where the first Test was played on September 24, Pakistan beat India 2-1 with goals through Sohail Abbas and Rehan Butt. Arjun Halappa scored the consolation goal for India. In the second Test at Quetta on September 27, India shocked Pakistan 4-1 with the young Sandeep Singh scoring a brace and Ignace Tirkey and Tushar Khandekar accounting for the other two. Sohail Abbas was the lone scorer for Pakistan. At Peshawar in the third Test on September 29, Pakistan were back to their winning ways by notching up a 3-2 victory. The scorers were Mudassar Ali Khan, Shakeel Abassi, and Sohail Abbas while for India Hari Prasad and Arjun Halapppa reduced the margin. The fourth Test at Lahore was a high scoring affair with both teams scoring four goals each. In fact India squandered a 4-2 lead to eventually settle for a 4-4 draw. Vikram Pillay, Sandeep Singh, Arjun Halappa and Ignace Tirkey were the Indian scorers while for Pakistan, Sohail Abbas scored two besides one each by Akhtar Ali and Rehan Butt. With the action shifting to India, Pakistan once again demonstrated their superiority with an emphatic 3-1 win in the fifth Test at New Delhi yesterday. While Sohail Abbas found the target twice, Kashif Jawad added another while Sandeep Michael was the lone scorer for India. The series, as Pakistan’s Dutch coach Roelant Oltmans said, was a perfect build-up for his team for the forthcoming Champions Trophy in Lahore. “ We are not bothered about the result and the stakes are not high,” said Oltmans as the Pakistan team went through their paces at the Sector 42 stadium later in the evening. Team manager Samiullah Khan, former Olympian, echoed similar views. Oltmans appeared satisfied with his team’s performance in New Delhi yesterday. “The boys played well, especially in the first half,” he said in reply to a query about his team’s performance, adding that youngsters like Tariq Aziz were shaping up well. Both Samiullah and Oltmans also did not complain about the match timings saying their boys were used to playing under harsh conditions. Pakistan skipper Wasim Ahmed, who has represented Pakistan in two Olympics, two World Cups and seven editions of the Champions Trophy, praised the role of the foreign coach in shaping the team’s destiny. “After he took over, our defensive structure has become stronger and we are now playing a more controlled game,” he said. On the other hand, a victory tomorrow for India will keep alive their hopes of drawing the series. India’s assistant coach has already admitted that his side would be under pressure in tomorrow’s tie. The Indians preferred to stay back and devote time to drawing up a strategy for the decisive tie tomorrow. The match, to be played at 1.30 pm, will be telecast live by Doordarshan.

India seem to be short on motivation Seldom has there been such a low-key India-Pakistan clash in hockey as it was the case of the first Test in the India leg of the eight-match series. Coming in for the home leg trailing 1-2 from the Pakistani leg, the Indian hockey team would have been expected to make a fight of it to try and first cover up the deficit and then make a bid to emulate the cricket team in this ‘Dosti’ series. Sadly, neither did the game rise to any great levels nor was there any sign of the Indian team showing any great motivation and plan to take a lead in their home leg. From the very start, the game was fairly dull and uninspiring. No wonder the fans were left disappointed by the quality of hockey as also the end result which was a 1-3 defeat for the home side. This now means that India is trailing 1-3 in the series with one match in Pakistan, the fourth Test, having been drawn. The Indian forward line had in one of the matches showed signs of settling into a rhythm and suggesting that they might improve as the series continued. But unfortunately after that one game, the second Test in Pakistan, which India won 4-1, the Indian team has been very inconsistent. They seem to have no definite on-field plan. Nor is there any sign of improvisation. Add to that wastage of penalty corners they wasted five in the Delhi Test and it is full recipe for disaster. In modern hockey, one simply cannot afford to miss so many penalty corners. Or at least otherwise there must be enough firepower to score off field goals, which again is missing in this young and inexperienced Indian team. Pakistan may have also wasted a lot of chances, but their experienced forwards seem to find some way to score. Their forwards like Kashif Jawaid, Shakeel Abbassi, Rehan Butt and others have managed to find the target in almost all matches. Then they have a trump card called Sohail Abbas, who is surely the most dreaded penalty corner specialist in the world. Now with a world record equaling effort, he will be further encouraged and inspired.

Aussies gear up to conquer ‘final frontier’
Bangalore, October 5 A Test series victory in India -- they last won under Bill Lawry in 1969-70 -- has eluded the world champions for long and the visiting team's stand-in captain Adam Gilchrist would be keen to gain the upper hand in the much-anticipated four-match series with a victory in the first Test at the Chinaswamy stadium. Despite a poor run in limited overs tournaments this season, India remain a formidable team at home and skipper Sourav Ganguly will draw inspiration from magnificent Test performances Down Under and the historic triumph in Pakistan not long ago. "Test matches are different. We have not batted well in the one-day version of the game (recently), I accept. But the Aussies bring out the best in us," Ganguly said. For the Australians, the stakes are high and the Indian tour is bound to test their resolve after an unimpressive run at the ICC Champions Trophy. But the men in baggy green have a 3-0 series win over Sri Lanka in their own backyard earlier this year to show for and it's a feat that keeps their morale and confidence high to a considerable extent. The absence of injured Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar, who is virtually ruled out of the first Test because of a tennis elbow, has come as a disappointment to the high-profile series. But both sides insist that they have the talent to replace the star players. Tendulkar's absence is no doubt a big blow for India in the all-important Test opener that generally sets the tone for the series, which is tipped to be a high intensity one. Gilchrist said the team has planned well for the series and were thorough in their preparations. "We have a very, very well balanced squad. It really comes down to preparations, and we should really play well," the aggressive batsman said. India and Australia are raring to go at each other but weather forecast for the five-day game is not encouraging, with meteorological department officials warning of rain interruptions. The focus from Australian perspective is no doubt Shane Warne whose magic could spell doom to any side. The 35-year-old leg spinner, however, had failed to provide the winning edge to his team during the 1997-98 and 2000-01 tours of India. Warne has taken 527 wickets in 112 Tests but only 29 have come against India, that too at an unimpressive average of 55.44. "I am fully fit, stronger mentally and physically," said Warne who is set to surpass Muttiah Muralitharan's world record of 532 Test wickets during the series. Another leg spinner who is also close to a personal milestone is India's Anil Kumble, who is three short of 400 Test wickets. Along with Kumble, who took 24 wickets in the Australian tour, the man to watch out for India in the bowling department would be 'Turbanator' Harbhajan Singh, who proved to be the nemesis of Australians when they toured the country three years ago, with 32 scalps. "We will have a difficult time against them (Kumble and Harbhajan). Hopefully, we have plans to counter those bowlers," Gilchrist said. With the pitch at M Chinnaswamy Stadium here expected to spin as the match progressed, Harbhajan and Kumble would be key to India's success, and the team dropped enough hints that it is likely to field the third spinner -- Murali Kartik -- as well. The Australians have made no secret of their gameplan to target V V S Laxman and Rahul Dravid, the two batsmen who have excelled in the last home and away series between the two sides. And known to play "mind-games," the tourists have also talked about different plans for different Indian batsmen. India would persist with Virender Sehwag and Aakash Chopra for the opening combination. It would be a toss-up between Yuvraj Singh, who hit a hundred against Pakistan, and Mohammed Kaif, who has done well with the bat in recent times, to come in place of Tendulkar.

Adam Gilchrist wary of Dravid, Laxman
Bangalore, October 5 Gilchrist said Tendulkar was a great batsman but was not the one who had caused "damage" to the Aussies in the last two series. He, however, was quick to add that his team would not relax because Tendulkar was not playing. "His absence is not a disappointment, I promise you. The game is better placed with Sachin in it but with all respect to Sachin, he hasn't been the one in the last two series that really did the damage to us," said Gilchrist ahead of the first Test starting here tomorrow. "He had some remarkable innings in there (Australia), but over the course of the series it was probably (V V S) Laxman and (Rahul) Dravid that has really hurt us." Gilchrist said he would personally miss Tendulkar but India had other talented players to take on the world's top ranked Test team. "There is a part of me that is disappointed. Sachin is one of the best players I have ever seen but I know that there are other guys around. "We have to get through to them and we found it difficult to make inroads into the opening pair (Aakash Chopra and Virender Sehwag) in Australia," Gilchrist said. "They did a great job and set up a wonderful foundation for the rest of the order to work from. "We are all well aware of the talent (in the Indian team) and certainly we will not be taking anything easier because there is no Sachin. On whether the Aussies would play the hard working Michael Kasprowicz ahead of the flamboyant Brett Lee, Gilchrist said, "that is an option." "He has done a great job in the last 12-18 months since his return to international cricket. He has a definite chance of playing but we will finalise the eleven tomorrow. "The wicket had little if any moisture in there. So obviously the line of thinking in these circumstances is bat first."

India likely to play 3 spinners
Bangalore, October 5 ‘’That’s (playing three spinners) a possibility, looking at the surface,’’ Sourav said at a pre-match press conference here. The playing eleven, he said, would be decided tomorrow, with Yuvraj Singh expected to take the field in the absence of Sachin Tendulkar who has been ruled out because of a tennis elbow. Commenting on the pitch, Sourav said he had not seen a pitch as dry as this one. ‘’I have never seen a pitch like this in Bangalore. Never seen it so dry and with so many cracks.’’ ‘’I think it can help the fast bowlers once the ball gets old. The spinners will get a lot of help from the surface,’’ he added. Stating that both teams were looking forward to the contest, he hoped that this series would not be as competitive as the previous two series between India and Australia. ‘’I hope it is not as competitive as the last two series because it gets very hard for both sides,’’ he quipped. Regarding the appointment of Sunil Gavaskar as consultant to the Indian side, he said India’s highest run getter in Tests would work alongside coach John Wright to provide guidance to the team.

Yuvraj replaces Tendulkar
Bangalore, October 5 “Tendulkar is not playing in this Test match. We are hopeful for the next Test. Yuvraj will be in the team,” Ganguly told reporters at a function to unveil the Border-Gavaskar Trophy here today. The 31-year-old Tendulkar, who has been suffering with a tennis elbow and has missed India’s last three one-day tournaments, including the ICC champions Trophy, was included into the 15-member squad for the first two Tests but was to undergo a fitness test today. The Indian skipper admitted that the team would miss the services of Tendulkar with the bat as well as the ball.

BCCI gets SC nod for telecast of series
New Delhi, October 5 However, the apex court reserved its judgement on the maintainability of Zee’s writ petition. Before reserving its judgement on Zee’s plea after the conclusion of the arguments on its maintainability, a five-Judge Constitution Bench headed by Mr Justice N. Santosh Hegde gave clearance to the BCCI’s arrangement with the condition that the three parties concerned would maintain “proper” accounts of the revenue generated of it till a further order by the court. The apex court’s approval came after BCCI counsel KK Venugopal said the interim arrangement made by the board with Sony Entertainment Television (SET) (Satellite) Limited, Singapore, and Prasar Bharti would be for a period up to December 2 in view of the urgency involved. The order came on an application of Zee, challenging the interim arrangement by the BCCI. Zee’s counsel Harish Salve said the board could not be allowed to award the contract to any other party pending decision on his client’s writ petition. “We are also ready to
fulfill the same conditions as proposed by our rival channels,” Salve said. He did not press further the issue when the court assured him that the rights of Zee would be protected, if it was able to establish a case against the BCCI. Meanwhile, in an interesting turn on the question of maintainability of Zee’s writ petition whether BCCI was performing the duty of an “instrumentality” of the State for managing cricket, Salve placed on record a bunch of letters written by the board to the government during the past five years, to show how the Centre’s permission on every cricket series had been sought by it. The court took exception to the BCCI “concealing” the fact from it when a specific query was made by it about any document to show any government “interference” in cricket affairs. Salve referred to a July 31, 2004, letter of the BCCI Secretary to the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, in which he had clearly stated that the “cricket team represents the country”. This reference was made by the board while discussing the issue of use of the national flag by the national cricket team, Salve said, adding that this showed that the government had complete control over granting permission for the cricket team’s foreign tours and visits of the foreign teams to India. This came as contrary to the BCCI’s categorical stand that the cricket team represented not the country but the board. But the BCCI counsel insisted that even if government control was regulatory, it would not make a private body an instrumentality of the State. “This is a different sort of control, not a regulatory control,” Venugopal contended. While reserving its judgement on the question of maintainability of Zee’s petition, the apex court also sought to place on record yesterday’s order of the Delhi High Court on a PIL, holding that the BCCI was performing “public duty” for managing cricket in the country. The Union Government was also directed to file an affidavit to clarify its position vis-a-vis the BCCI in the wake of the correspondence between them, produced in the court today by Zee’s counsel. If the judgement came in favour of Zee, the court would then hear further arguments on merit of its petition challenging the cancellation of the $308 million contract with it by the BCCI for telecast of cricket matches till 2008. |

Police swimmers dominate
New Delhi, October 5 Police swimmers claimed three of the seven golds at stake while Karnataka bagged two and Tamil Nadu and Railways shared one each. Karnataka’s Rehan Poncha set a new record in the 400m Free Style as he clocked 4:10.95 erasing the five-year old record of 4:13.31 set by Kailash Nath of Police in 1999. Policeman Amar Murlidharan also bettered the existing meet record with a time of 4:12.22 but finished second and his team mate Mandar A Divase with a time of 4:13.57 claimed bronze. It was a see-saw affair between Poncha and Murlidharan with the Karnataka swimmer managing to pip the policemen in the last stretch. In 100m back stroke, police’s T K Senthil Kumar rewrote his own seven-year old record. Senthil clocked 1:01.14 erasing his earlier mark of 1:01.16 which he had set in 1997. He was followed by team-mate Arjun Murlidharan who clocked 1:01.55. This was Murli’s second silver of the day. Karnataka’s Sandeep N A picked up a bronze with an effort of 1:03.39. Karnataka’s Nisha Millet improved upon her own year old timing of 4:33.55. Today she set up a new record clocking 4:31.87 in women’s 400m Free Style. Nisha proved much faster then her rivals as Police’s Charru Mishra timed a poor 4:50.08 for a silver while Maharashtra’s Aarti Ghorpade was placed third with 4:51.08. Saba Sait of Tamil Nadu won the women’s 100m breast stroke gold clocking 1:19.68. She was followed by Karnataka’s Mirdula D who timed 1:19.86 and her team mate Ambica Iyengar whose timing was 1:20.35. The record in this event stands in the of Zeba Wadia of Maharashtra who timed 1:18.66 in 1999 nationals. The existing records in both men and women’s 50m butterfly survived by a whisker as K Rajiv and Richa Mishra failed to rewrite their own timings narrowly. Railway man K Rajiv timed 00:26.27 to win the gold while the existing record of 00:26.27 was set by him in 2003. Karnataka’s Rahul Batra was second for silver with 0:26.58 and Maharashtra’s Parikshit Shetty earned bronze in 0:26.79. In women section Richa Mishra (Police) also missed to rewrite her own
record. She timed 0:30.63 which earned her a gold but her two-year old own record of 00:30.55 survived. Karnataka’s Ambica Iyenger earned her second silver of the day as she finished second behind Richa with a time of 0:31.00. Her statemate V Sivaranjani was third with 0:31.19. Earlier, a two-minute silence was observed as a mark of respect in the memory of Col (Rtd) Raminder Singh, President of Punjab Swimming Association, who died yesterday.

Aditya ousts Sanam, Tembe shocks Ajay
New Delhi, October 5 Tembe’s victory was matched only in intensity by Aditya Madkekar’s 7-6 (5), 6-3 victory over No 8 seed Sanam K Singh of Chandigarh in a battle of equally talented teen-agers. Sanam Singh, 16, was on court barely a few hours after reaching the Capital from Barcelona where he helped India finish eighth in the Junior Davis Cup. Three-time national champion Nitin Kirtane (31) justified the wild card given to him by the organisers when he outplayed Gurmehar Singh of Delhi 6-3, 7-5. In the women’s draw, the top two seeds—Isha Lakhani and Sana Bhambri—did not have to work hard to secure straight-set victories. Wild card Radhika Tulpule, returning from an injury-induced lay off, scored a facile victory over Niroshita Madanala 6-2, 6-2. J Vishnuvardhan of Andhra Pradesh battled for three and a half hours with Vijayendra Laad of Maharashtra to rally from a first set loss and win two tie-breaks. Neither player was able to break the other’s serve over 21 games after Laad broke back in the third game of the second set. Results: Men’s singles: Aqeel Khan (Pakistan) beat Varun Walia (Uttaranchal) 6-3, 6-3; Mohammed Yasser Arafat (AP) b Anjan Viplav (Services) 6-2, 7-5; Saurav Sukul (Bengal) b Narendran Ranganathan (Services) 6-2, 6-2; Ravishankar Pathanjali (TN) b Rohan Gide (Maharashtra) 6-3, 6-2; Siddarth Gulati (Delhi) b Rahil Syed (Karnataka) 6-1, 7-6 (3); Nitin Kirtane (Mah) b Gurmehar Singh (Delhi) 6-3, 7-5; Vishnu Vardhan (AP) b Vijayendra Laad (Mah) 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (5); Kedar Tembe (Mah) b Ajay Ramaswamy (Mah) 7-5, 6-1; Nomi Qamar (Pak) b Pratim Parekh (Mah) 5-7, 6-4, 6-2; Aditya Madkekar (Mah) b Sanam K Singh (Chandigarh) 7-6 (5), 6-3.
