Ponting, Fleming, Lara in World
XI
Sydney, January 2 Champion leg-spinner Shane Warne, who has come out of limited-overs retirement to lend his services, joins Australian team-mates Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, Glenn McGrath and Ricky Ponting, who will lead the side. Other top cricketers include Brian Lara and Stephen Fleming, captains of the West Indies and New Zealand, respectively. The Asian XI, expected to include players from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh, will be named tomorrow. A return match will be played in February in India or Sri Lanka, the two cricket nations to have endured the worst from the Boxing Day disaster. International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Malcolm Speed said he expected the match at the 80,000-capacity MCG to raise “millions of dollars” through ground entry, sponsorship, television rights, ground collections and a telethon. “Cricket is the most popular sport in India and Sri Lanka. It is important that worldwide, we step up and show that we are capable of providing assistance and capable of providing aid”, he said. Speed said, “The response has been unanimous. Everyone right around the cricket world has said ‘we must do what we can’. Any differences or rivalries that might have existed have disappeared.” The Australians wanted to be involved in the special match through their cricketing bonds with India and Sri Lanka, having toured both countries last year. Warne made his Test return from a drugs suspension at Galle, an area where thousands of people died and where the cricket ground was ravaged by the tsunami. The Australians also have a special bond with Chennai, scene of the tied Test in 1986 and where the Australians played just over three months ago. Waugh, who has his own charitable foundation in India, was especially keen to lend his services, and chose the world team with former New Zealand great Richard Hadlee. There are three West Indians in the team — Lara, Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo — although they may struggle to get all three to play as they have only 14 players in Australia and one-day matches on either side of the January 10 game. Australian fans donate $ 55,275
Australian cricket fans at the opening day of the final Test against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday donated $ 55,275 to the Asian tsunami relief fund, officials said. Organisers were expected to revise their target of $ 1,00,000 for more fund-raising over the remaining four scheduled days of the SCG Test. Lankan cricketers visit victims
COLOMBO: Sri Lankan cricketers cut short a New Zealand tour and visited refugees today displaced by last week’s tsunami. The players aborted a 40-day tour to return home after playing only their first one-day international match. They were scheduled to play five one-day matches and two Tests. The team visited welfare centres and hospitals in Galle and other devastated areas on the southern coast. Captain Marvan Atapattu, Sanath Jayasuriya and Saman Jayantha, all from the south, were joined by Chaminda Vaas and Dilhara Fernando. They also visited team-mate Upul Chandana’s mother, who was injured by the waves at her home in
Galle. Sharapova beats Venus Williams BANGKOK: Maria Sharapova overpowered Venus Williams on Sunday in an exhibition match in northern Thailand, overshadowed by last week’s tsunamis. The two stars appeared all business in the opening games, matching each other’s trademark booming serves and groundstrokes, with the Russian teenager prevailing in straight sets 6-4, 6-3. The match in the northern city of Chiang Mai had been scheduled for several weeks in advance as a showcase for next October’s inaugural WTA Thailand Open, but it was transformed into a show of moral support for the kingdom that was devastated by nature’s wrath. Sharapova wore a black ribbon on her white uniform in memory of the massive number of dead from the disaster, which included nearly 5,000 in Thailand. On her arrival days earlier, she pledged $ 10,000 to assist the tsunami victims in the kingdom. Paes to donate prize money CHENNAI: Joining other top tennis players, India’s Leander Paes on Sunday decided to donate his prize money in the Chennai Open, beginning here on Monday, for the tsunami victims. “I always help children and lot of orphanages. Like other visiting tennis stars, the whole week I will play for the tsunami victims. The prize money that I will earn will be donated for this noble cause,” said Paes. Paes said, “Chennai is like home for me since I spent a valuable five years here. We cannot fight nature. It is our very own beach (Marina), where we in the Britania Amritraj Tennis Trust used to train for four days a week.” —

Pak collapse after Butt’s
century
Sydney, January 2 Butt celebrated his maiden Test hundred with a fine 108 while Yasir blazed 58. However, their efforts were wasted when the tourists’ batting crumbled yet again as it did in the previous two Tests, which ended in heavy defeats. Recalled leg-spinner Stuart MacGill captured five wickets while in-form paceman Glenn McGrath bagged three to leave the Pakistanis struggling when play ended early at the Sydney Cricket Ground because of bad light. Butt and Yasir put on 102 for the opening stand. Butt also shared a 91-run partnership with Younis Khan to help the tourists race to 193-1 when the wheels suddenly fell off. Younis departed for 46 when he drove MacGill straight to McGrath at mid-off, triggering a collapse that included the loss of three wickets in seven balls without any addition to the scoreboard. MacGill, playing his first Test in nine months after he pulled out of Australia’s tour of Zimbabwe last year on moral grounds, ripped through the opposition to finish the day with 5-87. McGrath, who took career-best figures of 8-24 in the first Test in Perth, claimed 3-38, including two wickets in one over, while Shane Warne took 1-84. Scoreboard Pakistan (first innings): Butt c Gilchrist b McGrath 108 Hameed c Clarke b Warne 58 Khan c McGrath b MacGill 46 Youhana c Warne b MacGill 8 Kamal c Gillespie b MacGill 10 Afridi c McGrath b MacGill 12 Akmal not out 35 Naved lbw b McGrath 0 Akhtar b McGrath 0 Kaneria c Gilchrist b MacGill 3 Asif not out 0 Extras: (b-6, lb-2, w-1, nb-3) 12 Total: (9 wkts, 82 overs) 292 Fall of wickets:

South Africa make sedate start
Cape Town, January 2 Jacques Kallis was 47 not out with Boeta Dippenaar on eight at the break. Smith, who had earlier won the toss for the third time in the series and chosen to bat, was on 70 when he bottom-edged a delivery from left-arm spinner Ashley Giles on to his pad and was caught behind by wicketkeeper As the England players rushed to congratulate Giles, Smith was given not out by umpire Daryl Harper. Television replays showed the left-hander clearly hitting the ball. Smith, however, failed to build on his good fortune and slashed at a flighted delivery from Giles shortly after, took a thick edge and the ball ballooned off Jones’s leg to Marcus Trescothick at slip for him to be dismissed for 74. His dismissal ended a 75-run third-wicket partnership with Kallis. Scoreboard South Africa (1st innings) Smith c Trescothick b Giles 74 Gibbs b Hoggard 4 Rudolph c G.Jones b S.Jones 26 Kallis not out 47 Dippenaar not out 8 Extras (b-2, nb-2, w-1) 5 Total (3 wickets, 54

Mumbai make strong reply
Mumbai, January 2 Jaffer made 122 with 14 fours and also put on century stands for the first and second wickets with Vinayak Mane and Vinit Indulkar as Mumbai, replying to Delhi’s first innings tally of 394, finished the day at a commanding 350 for 3. Another ominous partnership for the fourth wicket, already worth an unfinished 41 runs, between Amol Muzumdar and Nishit Shetty was looming large in front of Delhi, who need at least first innings points to qualify for the semifinals along with group leaders and holders Mumbai. The Mumbai batsmen kept the Delhi bowlers and fielders toiling hard for the entire day without too many successes after commencing the day at 32 for no loss. Jaffer occupied the crease for over six hours and faced 236 balls while adding 136 for the first wicket with Mane, who made 73, and 152 for the second wicket with Indulkar, who was let off twice on his way to 85. Mane was sent back by left-arm paceman Ashish Nehra while off-spinner Sarandeep Singh accounted for the other two Mumbai wickets to fall. The Delhi fielding, too, became slipshod as the home team batsmen prospering on a featherbed of a wicket. At stumps, Muzumdar was unbeaten on 33 after staying at the wicket for 109 minutes while left hander Shetty was on 15. Mumbai lost the wicket of Mane in the pre-lunch session to be 137 for one in 45 overs at the interval and did not lose a wicket while adding 125 in 33 overs in the second. They then added another 88 runs in 31 overs in the last period of play while losing Jaffer and Indulkar. Delhi captain Ajay Jadeja did not summon the new ball straightaway after it was due, but tasted success through Sarandeep Singh, before calling for it belatedly in the 110th over when Mumbai were 329 for 3. But both Muzumdar and Shetty played out the spells of Nehra and Amit Bhandari with caution being the watchword. Earlier, Mane raced to his half-century before Jaffer in 98 balls with six fours. The latter was the more sedate of the two on an easy-paced wicket and completed his fifty in 136 balls with six hits to the fence. After Mane’s departure, Indulkar joined Jaffer. He was lucky as Jadeja spilt a straightforward slip catch off left-arm spinner Rahul Sanghvi. He was on 26 in a total of 209. Jaffer completed his century in 201 balls with a straight-driven four, his 13th, off Nehra. It was his third of the season following tons against Bengal and Railways. The India discard and Indulkar, who was again dropped by wicketkeeper Varun Kumar on 70 off Sanghvi, raised the century stand in only 121 minutes. The Delhi attack, manned by two current India players and two discards, looked clueless at this stage before Sarandeep struck twice to send back the two batsmen and bring some hopes back before Delhi were stalled by Muzumdar and Shetty. —

Hyderabad beat Assam, enter
semifinal
Hyderabad, January 2 The home team, rejuvenated by the presence of V.V.S. Laxman, also picked an extra bonus point in this match by virtue of the overwhelming margin of victory and now led the Elite Group B table with 17 points. Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Baroda and Tamil Nadu were the contenders for the second place from the group. In the league round, Hyderabad had beaten Maharashtra, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Assam while losing to Tamil Nadu and Baroda. Resuming with an arrear of 176 runs, Assam batsmen showed determination in the morning session, with R. Satish scoring a resolute half century and adding 77 runs for the third wicket with Zakiria Jaffri (25). Satish was brilliantly stumped by wicketkeeper Ibrahim Khaleel while Indrasekhar Reddy continued to impress with 56 in 63 balls, inclusive of nine fours and one six. Jaffri and Sarvanan (12) perished soon and the Assam tail tumbled under pressure, with Koushik Reddy coming good with his spin in the second session. The last five wickets fell in a space of 22 balls and four batsmen returned to the pavilion without scoring. Speedster Vishnuvardhan, spinner Indrasekhar Reddy and Koushik Reddy claimed three wickets each. Ganguly leads fightback
KOLKATA: Sourav Ganguly led a Bengal fightback with a fine hundred, as the hosts remained in contention for a crucial first innings lead on the third and
penultimate day of their Elite Division Group ‘A’ Ranji Trophy cricket match against Madhya Pradesh here on Sunday. Bengal finished the day at 294 for six, needing 99 more runs to overhaul the visitors’ first innings score of 392 and take a vital two points to avoid demotion to the plate division. Resuming at the overnight score of 70 for four, the Bengal batting was built around a classy 121 (321m, 213b, 17x4) by the Indian captain and his 167-run partnership (243m, 219b) for the sixth wicket with Devang Gandhi (77 batting; 291m, 180b, 12x4). Bengal’s hopes now rest on Gandhi and all-rounder Laxmi Ratan Shukla (9 batting) and the first session may prove crucial tomorrow in deciding the course of the match, rated as a virtual relegation play-off. Overnight not out batsmen Ganguly and Sourasish Lahiri added another 36 runs on the board in the first 45 minutes of play in the morning before Sunil Dholpure dealt the first blow by shattering Lahiri’s stump. Lahiri was on 10. Ganguly and Gandhi then joined hands and carried Bengal past tea, with the former executing some delectable strokes and the latter content to play second fiddle. Ganguly completed his century in 277 minutes facing 173 balls. Ganguly’s glorious knock came to an end when he played across the line to a staight delivery from pacer Sanjay Pandey, missed and lost his off-stump. Baroda poised
for victory
Vadodara: Baroda were well poised to score an outright victory over Uttar Pradesh on the third day of their crucial Ranji Trophy Elite Division Group B tie at the Motibaug Palace ground here today. After setting UP a stiff task of scoring 346 for victory on a turning track, Baroda reduced the visitors to 114 for three in the second innings. The wickets included the all-important one of UP captain Mohammad Kaif (29), run out by a direct hit at the stumps from his counterpart Jacob Martin. Earlier, Baroda, who resumed at their overnight second innings score of 75 for 3, were indebted to Yusuf Pathan who once again showed his utility value to the team in topscoring 62 in 77 balls, laced with 11 fours. Pathan had earlier shown his ability with the bat while making a crucial 81 when Baroda were down in the dumps against Tamil Nadu in their previous league clash. Karnataka face defeat
BANGALORE: Karnataka were staring at defeat on the penultimate day of the Ranji Trophy Elite Group A encounter against Railways here on Sunday. After conceding a first innings lead of 105 runs, the hosts ended the day on 181 for six in the second knock. They are ahead by only 76 runs, with four wickets in hand and a full day’s play left. Resuming at 256 for four, the visitors did not last long and their innings folded up for 299. Raja Ali, who was batting on 100, went on to make 113 before being bowled by N.C. Aiyappa. Yere Goud made 30. Aiyappa was the pick of the Karnataka bowlers, taking five wickets for 63 runs, while Dodda Ganesh and R. Vinay Kumar scalped three and two, respectively. Karnataka began their second innings on a disappointing note as Barrington Rowland was dismissed without scoring in the fourth over. Captain Sujith Somasundar scored 58 (9x4). Rahul Dravid made 38 before being trapped leg before by Kulamani Parida who ended the day with three wickets. At stumps, Sunil Joshi was batting on eight and Ganesh on four, with Sanjay Bangar-led Railways in the driver’s seat. Maharashtra need 362 to win
CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu set Maharashtra an imposing victory target of 362 runs on the penultimate day of the Ranji Trophy Elite B cricket match here on Sunday. In their chase, Maharashtra were 24 without loss at close, with Dhiraj Jadav (14) and K.B. Shinde (9) at the crease. Resuming at 15 without loss, Tamil Nadu, who had a first innings lead of 102 runs, declared their second innings at 259 for eight in 82 overs. Tamil Nadu openers were off to a solid start, but Dinesh Kaarthick was dismissed in the 27th over. Kaarthick was caught at point by Dhruv Mohan off Hrishikesh Kanitkar for 58 (6x4, 2x6). He had put on 105 runs for the first wicket with Vidyuth, who snicked to Ranjit Khirid at slip off Kanitkar. Vidyuth contributed 48 (4x4, 1x6) from 93 balls. Maharashtra bowlers then dominated. Captain Sriram (23) was caught behind by Satyajit Satbhai off Khirid. Badrinath (16) was run out and first innings hero K. Srivasudeva Das (one) was caught by Ajay Chauvan off his own bowling. Among the other batsmen, only Hemanth Kumar and Ganapathy, who remained unbeaten, showed some resistance. Kumar, who made 59 (5x4), and Ganapathy (35) put on 80 runs in 27.5 overs for the unfinished ninth wicket. Kanitkar (2-32) and Ranjit Khirid (2-33) were the successful bowlers. Gujarat gain
106-run lead
Hyderabad: A defiant 156 by skipper Y Venugopala Rao could not help Andhra Pradesh from conceding a 106-run first innings lead against Gujarat, who reached 55 for no loss in their second essay in the Elite A match here today. Resuming at 146 for 3, in reply to Gujarat first innings score of 420, the hosts ended up on 314 as the lower order collapsed after a 146-run fourth-wicket stand between overnight batsmen Venugopala Rao and Gnaneswar Rao (61).

Uttaranchal, Rlys win basketball
titles
Ludhiana, January 2 In the men’s final, Punjab started favourites as Uttaranchal’s star cager Desh Raj was ruled out for today’s crunch match. He was injured last night during the semifinal with Indian Railways. But much to the dismay of the Punjab team, the visitors went into an early lead with Dinesh Kumar and Suresh Kumar Ranot combining well to put their side into the driver’s seat. They enjoyed a six-point lead for quite some time before Yadwinder and Talwinder Singh successfully netted three pointers to level the score. From here, Uttaranchal men took control of the proceedings as international Nishant Kumar repeatedly pierced through Punjab’s defence and managed to drop the ball into the net. They were leading by three points (16-13) at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, lanky S. Sridhar and R. Murali Krishan exhibited superb ball control and proved too fast for the hosts. They forced the Punjab players to commit fouls which resulted in free throws in quick succession. The Uttaranchal men made no mistake in converting the chances into points to enhance the lead at half time (34-26). With just few seconds to go for the lemon break, S. Sridhar of Uttaranchal who was at the centre stage till then, had to leave the field as he collided with Punjab skipper Parminder Singh Sr. Dinesh was also replaced with M Shabeer Ahmed, which forced the Uttaranchal players to slow down the proceedings. However, Punjab players failed to capitalise on this to reduce the margin. The agile Talwinder Singh who had impressed with his speed and accuracy, failed to click today. He was well checked by Nishant Kumar and Shabeer Ahmed. He missed sitters which proved fatal for the Punjab team. At the end of the third quarter, Uttaranchal led by five points (48-43). In the deciding quarter, the Punjab coach, Dr S. Subramanium, made some desperate moves with replacements and time outs but could not stop the inevitable as the hosts lost comprehensively (59-75). An elated Uttaranchal coach J.B.S. Maan said, “With nine players from the ONGC, including four current internationals in our ranks, we were quite sure to hand out a defeat to Punjab.” “We had planned to check Parminder Singh and Talwinder and we succeded in doing so,” he added. For the winners, the main contributors were Suresh Kumar (12), Mohit Bhandari (12), Murli Krishna (12), S. Sridhar ( 9) and Shabeer Ahmed (9) while Parminder Singh top scored with 15 points, followed by Talwinder Singh (14) and Yadwinder Singh (9). In the women’s section, the final between defending champions Indian Railways and last year’s losing finalists Delhi turned out to be a mismatch with the former romping home winners without being challenged 112-57. For Indian Railways, Renjini Peter was the highest scorer (26). Other notable scorers were Sofi Sam (24), Geetu Anna Jose (12) and Ivy Cherian (11). Divya Singh (19) and Shiba Maggon (21) of Delhi tried to put up some semblence of resistance. Mr Harjinder Singh Dhanoa, an NRI and the main sponsor of this championship gave away prizes to the winners. Mr Rajdeep Singh Gill, ADGP, Punjab, and president, Basketball Federation of India, Mr Kartar Singh, Director Sports, Punjab, were among those who attended the closing ceremony. |

Chennai Open begins
today
Chennai, January 2 Indian stars Leander Paes, who is playing both singles and doubles, and Mahesh Bhupathi, would be seen in action with different partners in the doubles. Bhupathi has paired with Jonas Bjorkman (Sweden) while Paes with Nenad Zimonjik (Serbia). Defending champion and world number five Moya, who scored over Srichaphan for the title last year and went on to win three singles titles on the tour before his sweetest victory over the USA to clinch the Davis Cup for Spain, is the favourite to retain the title. As for the chances of the Indians in the fray, it would a herculean task for them, perhaps, excepting Paes, a wild-card entrant, who is pitted against Yen-Hsun Lu of Taipei, ranked 86 in the world. Prakash Amritraj, the highest-ranked Indian in singles play on the ATP circuit at 222, would clash with Ivo Heuberger of Switzerland but has a tough road ahead. If Amritraj wins his first round match, he has the difficult task of beating Moya in the second round. Another wild card, Karan Rastogi, the up-and-coming star from the country, will play fourth seed Bjorkman in the first round. The tournament would be held at the SAF Games tennis stadium from January 3 to 9. The original cut-off for this $ 430,000 championship is 119-ATP ranking. Last year the cut off was 121. Bjorkman and Rainer Schuettler of Germany, who is also playing, figure in the ATP list of top 20 players. —

DAV panel has no job for injured
boxer
Amritsar, January 2 This was decided at a meeting of the managing committee held in New Delhi recently. Mr Dhani Ram, Principal of the DAV College for Boys, where Shiv studied, said the committee conveyed its decision to him that it did not have any job at the moment. He said the committee could consider a job for him if there was any vacant post as per his qualification in the near future. Earlier, Dr. S.P. Singh, Vice-Chancellor, had admitted that the university did not have any post as per his qualification. Therefore, he had written to the president of DAV Colleges managing committee, New Delhi, Mr G. P. Chopra, for giving Shiv a job as a pugilist was a student of DAV College here. He had said Shiv, being a graduate, could not be given a peon’s job, but he was also not qualified for a clerical post. Shiv, along with 10 other students, including eight boxers, had gone to participate in the All-India Inter-University Men’s Boxing Championship at Parmar university. A group of university students went on the rampage when the tournament was in progress. In the brawl, he got injured while his younger brother, Prem Sharma, also a boxer, sustained minor injuries. The brawl took place because some students, who were observing a mourning over the death of their fellow student, demanded the stopping of campus activities, including the championship. A bronze medallist in the last inter-university championship, Shiv, a resident of Gurdaspur, said he had put in earnest efforts to improve his ranking. However, the injury had cut short his career as he could no longer play the sport. He was unable to move three fingers of his right hand. Mr Subhash Chander, Shiv’s father, a retired bank employee, said he had written letters to various departments concerned for help. He said everybody concerned was passing the buck. The incident had left Shiv ineligible for jobs in the Indo- Tibetan Border Police, the South-East Central Railway and the Punjab and Haryana High Court, from where he had received letters to appear in their tests, he added. |
