City advocates win cricket tournament
Chandigarh, October 13 The tournament was organised by the Chandigarh Lawyers Sports Association as part of the ongoing celebrations of the golden jubilee of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. Batting first, Rajasthan lawyers succumbed to accurate pace of Harit Sharma, who ended up clinching four wickets in his quota of six overs for 20 runs. Paramjeet Singh and S. Sidhu claimed three and two wickets, respectively. While Sachin Jain got rid of one batsman, CLSA secretary general Hemant Bassi also pitched in with a fine bowling display. He bowled five overs for 16 runs but went wicketless. For Rajasthan, except for tail-ender Madhav (25), no other batsman could contribute much with the bat. The entire team managed just 100 runs in 27.3 overs. CLSA Yellow openers Vineet Soni and Sanjeev got their team off to a good start, adding 38 runs for the first wickets partnership. Vineet went on to remain unbeaten on 51, his second consecutive half-century in the tournament. Sandeep Moudgil remained unbeaten on seven, while Paramjeet scored 13 runs. CLSA Yellow achieved the target in 19.5 overs. Vineet was declared the man of series as also the best batsman, while Harit was adjudged the best bowler. The other notable awardees were Ashutosh (best fielder), Ravi Dahiya (fastest fifty) and R.S. Meena (best all-rounder). |

Dungarpur welcomes Dravid as skipper
Mohali, October 13 Commenting immediately after the announcement by BCCI secretary S K Nair, Mr Dungarpur said, “The selectors have taken a good decision by giving the responsibility to Dravid for two consecutive series. He would also feel relieved. Also, he will likely be concentrating more on the game knowing that he was no more a seasonal captain, but was here to stay at least for 12 one-day matches.” Dravid has replaced Ganguly as the captain for the forthcoming one-day series against Sri Lanka and South Africa. Ganguly has been advised by doctors to rest for 10 days because of elbow pain. Mr Dungarpur was all praise for Dravid as he termed him a good thinker, excellent strategist, non-controversial, clean cricketer and technically-sound batsman. “Now I am sure of the bright future of the team as it has the right leader,” Mr Dungarpur said. Coming down heavily on Ganguly, he advised that the former captain should quit from Test cricket as he was not fit for the same. He also accused Ganguly of making excuses to avoid playing on green-top pitches. However, Mr Dungarpur termed him a good striker of one-day matches. “He should be there in the squad for one-day matches provided he fulfills the fitness conditions,” viewed Mr
Dungarpur. When asked about the chances of compromise with Dalmiya group in the coming elections of the BCCI, “Oh God! never with Dalmiya” was the quick answer, accompanied by a broad smile. |
