Half-centuries from Mathew Sinclair and Ben Smith gave Central Districts their second win of the HRV Cup, a seven-wicket victory against Auckland

ESPNcricinfo staff09-Jan-2013
ScorecardHalf-centuries from Mathew Sinclair and Ben Smith gave Central Districts their second win of the HRV Cup, a seven-wicket victory against Auckland, who now have to win both their remaining games and hope other results go their way in order to make the playoff. Central Districts are bottom of the league and have no chance of progress. Auckland, however, are fourth and need to win two games and also hope Northern Districts lose both of their remaining games.Central Districts’ victory was built on a 106-run stand for the third wicket between Sinclair and Smith. Chasing 182, Sinclair made 71 off 52 balls and Smith 59 off 31 deliveries. Sinclair fell with the scores level and Central Districts won with three balls to spare. Smith’s innings was his best of the tournament.Auckland had set a competitive total at Pukekura Park after a wobbly start – they were 59 for 4 in nine overs after winning the toss. Colin de Grandhomme led their fightback, scoring a half-century off 20 balls before he was dismissed for 55 off 24. Craig Cachopa made 49 off 33 deliveries to lead his team to 181. Bevan Small and Andrew Lamb took two wickets each for Central Districts.

With the series against England level at 1-1 India need Sachin Tendulkar to deliver more than ever, the former captain Rahul Dravid has said

Siddhartha Talya27-Nov-2012With the series against England level at 1-1, and following the poor performance in Mumbai, India need Sachin Tendulkar now more than ever, former captain Rahul Dravid has said, and he has backed him to perform in the rest of the series.Tendulkar has not scored a half-century in his last ten Test innings and has managed just 29 runs in the three innings he’s played against England so far in which he’s been dismissed each time to spin. Dravid, however, said Tendulkar looked better than he did in the previous home series against New Zealand, and “who better than Sachin” to deliver in the next two games.”I thought he was a little scratchy and looked a little under-prepared against New Zealand,” Dravid said of Tendulkar, who prepared for the England series with a century for Mumbai in their opening game of the Ranji Trophy against Railways at the Wankhede Stadium. “Here, I know it seems strange to say after he’s had three failures, but he’s actually looking quite good.”He’s played a couple of straight drives, he’s played a couple of shots that when I was playing with him, you knew he was playing well if he was playing those shots.”Tendulkar, Dravid said, had also been a little unlucky in this series. “He’ll be disappointed with the shot he played to get out in Ahmedabad on a relatively flatter wicket, and then to see other people score runs. Here, he was a bit unlucky: the first ball that really spun on the first morning was the one that got him. Until then there weren’t too many balls spinning. And then he played for the spin in the second innings and the ball straightened on a track on which every ball was spinning.”India need him now more than ever. At 1-1 in a tight series, it’s going to be very important for senior players to stand up and who better than Sachin to do that.”India went in with three specialist spinners for the Mumbai Test, on a surface that turned from the outset, but Dravid said, given that the conditions in Kolkata would be different, India would be better off with a combination of two spinners and two seamers.Sachin Tendulkar has played ten Test innings without a half-century•BCCI

“It’s a different kind of soil, it does not break up,” he said. “It’s black soil, red soil [like in Mumbai] tends to deteriorate very quickly and if you leave it dry, it can turn and bounce a lot more than the black soil does.”I think that’s a blessing in disguise from India’s point of view. They might have to work harder for the wins but it’ll also give their batsmen a chance to be able to put up big scores, and to be able to show they are good players of spin.”Dravid admitted Dhoni had problems using his spin resources in Mumbai, especially with the availability of two other part-time options. “He’s going to have to re-look at his combination, simply because it’s going to be difficult to manage three spinners and especially having Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag in the side who can also bowl spin.”The combination they had in Ahmedabad was the best one, where they had two seamers and two spinners. Hopefully we’ll see a normal Kolkata wicket. India have a great record in Kolkata, we’ve had a lot of success in Kolkata, because it is a typical subcontinental wicket. As it starts off, you can play your shots, there is something in it for the fast bowlers but it does spin.”Umesh Yadav will miss the Kolkata Test due to injury, and Ashok Dinda has been included in the squad having been named as cover last week. Should Dinda be picked in the XI, Harbhajan Singh, who bowled the least number of overs among India’s spinners in Mumbai, may be left out.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels both made centuries to power West Indies to 315•WICB

It is a rarity these days for West Indies to enter a series as overwhelming favourites but it hasn’t taken them long to show how much of a gulf exists between them and New Zealand. On the same Sabina Park track on which New Zealand stuttered to 190 two days ago, West Indies bludgeoned 315 in the second ODI. It was a more comfortable win than the 55-run margin suggests, and despite BJ Watling’s enterprising innings, New Zealand never really threatened to pull off a win.Contrasting centuries from local heroes Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels kept the Jamaican crowd entertained in the morning, as the innings unfolded with the noisy chorus of vuvuzelas in the background.In the blockbuster , the police chief memorably deadpans, “We are going to need a bigger boat,” on seeing the giant killer shark for the first time. International bowlers will have similar sentiments on seeing Chris Gayle walk out to bat. Once again he made a cricket ground seem tiny as he hit nine sixes in another exhibition of his ability to make power-hitting look effortless.With his father, sister and several other family members watching, Gayle destroyed New Zealand’s listless bowling to reach his 20th ODI hundred, a new West Indian record as he went past the great Brian Lara’s tally. It was also his fifth fifty-plus score in six innings since his international exile ended last month.New Zealand’s bowlers were looking to exploit some of the early morning moisture in the track, but their only success was dismissing Lendl Simmons. He fell for his sixth successive score under 20 after returning to the West Indies side, chasing an away-going delivery from Tim Southee in the fourth over. Any hopes of keeping the batsmen under pressure were swiftly and brutally dashed. In the next over, Gayle launched New Zealand’s bowling spearhead Kyle Mills for three sixes over mid-off.Though he repeatedly dispatched the ball into the stands, Gayle’s innings was not all slam-bang. There was plenty of discretion as he regularly let deliveries go through to the keeper or watchfully defended them. When he did decide to attack, his shots were almost always in the V, unlike the Twenty20-era slogger’s preferred thwack to midwicket.After the early punishment, New Zealand’s quicker bowlers adapted their line to Gayle, targetting the middle and leg stump as they managed to slow him down a touch. Still, there were the gentle offerings of an array of part-time slow bowlers for Gayle to feast on. A murderous straight hit off Daniel Flynn took him to 98, and a tickle down to fine leg for four off Kane Williamson in the 30th over brought up his century. He did a celebratory jig, before sinking to his knees with his hands aloft as the Jamaican crowd cheered their biggest cricketing idol.Gayle had plenty of time to go on past his career-best score of 153, but in the 38th over, one of his shots – finally – didn’t carry past the rope, landing instead in the hands of deep midwicket. That only allowed the other Jamaican batting star, Marlon Samuels, to take centrestage.Unlike Gayle’s boundary-filled innings, Samuels’ knock was more about the singles – taking 51 of them, and even pushing Gayle to come back for several quick twos. Though Samuels didn’t maintain as high a strike-rate as Gayle, he wasn’t too far off a run-a-ball. He reached his half-century off 57 deliveries, though he had hit only a couple of fours and a six.Even when Samuels started finding the boundaries regularly, there was a marked difference to the Gayle style – three consecutive cover-driven fours off Tim Southee in the 39th over were all about timing and placement, and little about power-hitting.Two of West Indies’ middle-order powerhouses, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo, failed to make an impact, and New Zealand managed to shackle the scoring as Samuels slowed down in sight of the century. Samuels scored only in singles in the last seven overs of the innings before finally reaching his first ODI hundred since 2006 in the final over. Despite Darren Sammy’s quickfire 31, West Indies gathered only 33 runs in the final five overs, but the total still proved far too much for the inexperienced New Zealand batsmen.The chase got off to a reasonable, though not explosive, start. Rob Nicol fell early after hitting a couple of boundaries, Daniel Flynn played an edgy innings before departing in the 12th over with the score on 62. New Zealand then lost momentum as Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson struggled to pull off the big hits. When Guptill was dismissed midway through the innings, the asking-rate was nearing eight, and the game looked lost.Williamson and Watling tried to revive the innings through a quick 70-run stand, but though both compiled half-centuries, they had too much to do. Williamson was done in by a full swinging ball from Rampaul in the 37th over virtually ending the contest, though Watling improved his highest score in ODIs for the second game in a row and kept fighting till the end.

Trinidad & Tobago earned first-innings points in a rain-affected draw against Guyana in Port of Spain. Adrian Barath scored a hundred in T&T’s first innings to take them past Guyana’s total of 290. Barath’s 114 was supported by two half-centuries, by Marlon Barclay and Kevon Cooper, while the rest of the batting line-up struggled against Narsingh Deonarine’s offspin. Deonarine, who is the leading run-scorer in the competition, picked up six wickets in the innings. In Guyana’s first innings, Deonarine missed a chance to score his first hundred in the competition this year, when he was out for 87. He shared a crucial 138-run partnership with skipper Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who scored 87, which helped Guyana post a competitive total.With Guyana trailing by 59 runs in the second innings, Assad Fudadin scored 108, his second century of the season, to get his team to 208 for 5. Rain shortened the third and fourth days erasing the little chance there was of a result. Guyana maintained their second position behind Jamaica in the points table. T&T, however, dropped to fourth place after Barbados won their match.

Sulieman Benn’s haul of nine wickets took Barbados to their third win in the competition as they beat Leeward Islands by an innings and seven runs in Bridgetown. Benn grabbed four in the first innings and five in the second innings as Leewards’ batsmen were bowled out for 138 and 172.Put in to bat, Leeward Islands were shot out for 138 on the first day as Benn and Dwayne Smith (3 for 39) shared seven wickets. Barbados’ response followed a similar pattern as they found themselves in a precarious position with four wickets down for 32 runs. Further damage was prevented as Smith scored an attacking 67, with seven fours and three sixes, in a 90-run partnership with Kyle Hope, who scored 63. Wicketkeeper Shane Dowrich’s 95 helped Barbados take a lead of 179 runs. In their second innings, Leewards failed to make Barbados bat again, as their last five batsmen collapsed for three runs.

Offspinner Shane Shillingford’s 7 for 34 in the fourth innings sealed a seesaw contest for Windward Islands as they beat Combined Campuses and Colleges by 22 runs in Grenada. Needing 132 to win, CCC crashed to their lowest total in this year’s competition. Shillingford, who had overall match figures of 10 for 81, was Man of the Match.CCC elected to field and their bowlers justified the decision as they bowled Windward Islands out for 149. Kevin McLean and Ryan Austin took three wickets each in an innings where Lindon James’ 52 saved the batting side from an embarrassment. In reply, CCC had a chance to take a big lead, but Windwards’ bowlers took the last four wickets for 17 runs to limit their deficit to 60 runs.In their second innings, Windward Islands were in early trouble but a gritty 87 from Andre Fletcher pushed the score to 191, which was enough in the end for their bowlers to defend.

Tasmania kept in touch with the Sheffield Shield pace-setters Queensland and Western Australia with a six-wicket defeat of New South Wales

ESPNcricinfo staff09-Feb-2012

ScorecardTasmania kept in touch with the Sheffield Shield pace-setters Queensland and Western Australia and maintained hope of defending last summer’s title with a six-wicket defeat of New South Wales on the final day of the match in Hobart.Six points at Bellerive Oval took the Tigers to 22, four behind WA after their dramatic victory over Queensland at the Gabba, which kept the Bulls on 30 points with three rounds remaining.The Blues began the day uncertainly placed at 4 for 75 and the seamer Jackson Bird ensured the visitors’ lead would not be substantial by matching James Faulkner’s four wickets for the innings.Simon Katcih was unable to bat as he continued to suffer from headaches and dizziness following a blow to the head while batting in the first innings. Only Phillip Hughes and the captain Steve O’Keefe passed 20 for NSW as the Tigers were set 147 to win.The openers Ed Cowan and Steven Cazzulino brought the target well within sight via a stand of 49, and while no local batsmna passed 50, solid contributions down the order reaped a comfortable victory.NSW are now out of contention for the final, having won only one of seven matches so far.

The sight of a bleeding Brendon McCullum in its brutish way did far more for the BBL than any number of marketeer’s schemes

Daniel Brettig17-Dec-2011Brett Lee’s bouncer to break the nose of Brendon McCullum gave the nascent Twenty20 Big Bash League a visceral image to stand comparison with the Andy Roberts bumper that shattered David Hookes’ jaw in the first season of World Series Cricket.Significantly, it was winced at by a record television audience for a domestic Twenty20 match in Australia, suggesting the true measure of the BBL’s opening night went beyond the mediocre crowd of 12,285 that made it to the SCG to watch the Sydney Sixers blaze past the Brisbane Heat.Foxtel recorded an average audience of 342,000 and a total of 858,000, surpassing the 316,000 average of the 2010 Big Bash final. Greater numbers were anticipated for Saturday night’s match between Shane Warne’s Melbourne Stars and the Sydney Thunder at the MCG.Television is a critical element of the BBL package, as Cricket Australia hopes to generate enough groundswell for the competition to allow it to sell the next round of broadcast rights for the competition to one of the free-to-air commercial networks, so taking the tournament into homes beyond the reach of subscription TV.Those in attendance were given a good idea of what can be expected from the BBL, as old heads like Stuart MacGill, Matthew Hayden, James Hopes and Brad Haddin complimented youthful teams. The colours worn were garish, causing one spectator to compare them to a “kids dress-ups party”, but looked striking on television. Dancing girls, seemingly mandatory at a Twenty20 tournament worth its name, were on hand to keep those on the boundary entertained, while the re-introduction of full-strength beer to the outer was another significant decision.Corporate hospitality was in full swing, as CA and the Sixers strove to offer plenty of attraction to men and women of influence from the corporate and media worlds. There was a distinct hint of IPL flavour to the Sixers’ box in the Victor Trumper Stand, as music blared with the lights dimmed down and precious few of a raucous crowd turned to watch the cricket for long.Next door CA’s function was a more considered affair, featuring the BBL trophy itself and a glad-handing chief executive, James Sutherland. Taking some time to sit and watch the cricket itself, Sutherland was happy to see the tournament begin after a year of rushed organisation to launch it a summer ahead of the original schedule.He answered the question of how the summer might unfold with the BBL going head-to-head with Test matches by saying that audiences would now have cricket to attend in each city across December and January, not just those hosting Test matches as has traditionally been the case.”When this goes head-to-head with Test cricket, we go through the summer and play four Test matches like we are against India, the cricket circus is only in one place at one time,” Sutherland said. “In a six-week period, it comes to Perth once, Adelaide once, Sydney and Melbourne once, and it doesn’t come to Brisbane and Hobart because they’ve already had their share.”So this is a little bit about giving something more to the fans in terms of live stuff, but it is also playing cricket at different times. People will look at it and say we’re trying to do too much, but it is the best time of year, the cricket season, the time where people want to come out and go to matches. It isn’t like the football season where every second week you’ve got a home game, in some ways that is what we’re trying to give to people.”Many have contended that the BBL’s emergence will hurt the performance of what has become a maddeningly inconsistent national team. But Sutherland maintained his view that the new competition was intended to draw a greater and more diverse following to the game, one that may eventually find as much joy in Test matches as those who are sure to fill the MCG on Boxing Day.”People forget from time to time what we’re all about and understand that international cricket is the premium product,” Sutherland said. “We want that to be successful, we don’t want to compromise that. But the future is also about making sure we’ve got young fans who are going to have an interest in cricket, and international cricket. This [the BBL] gives them a flavour of cricket that hopefully will introduce a whole new raft of fans to the game.”On night one of the competition, those fans saw McCullum sent reeling and blood spilled onto the pitch. It was not the sort of moment one can easily forget, and in its brutish way did far more for the BBL than any number of marketeer’s schemes.

O Santos está confiante na renovação do meia Léo Cittadini. Nos últimos dias, as conversas entre o estafe do jogador e o clube tiveram tom positivo e um desfecho pode sair até o fim da próxima semana. O detalhe que mais emperrava o negócio era a multa rescisória do novo vínculo, padrão santista de 50 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 220 milhões) para os jogadores mais novos. As bases salariais já estavam acertadas.

Quanto a multa, o Peixe não tem a intenção de ceder. Cabe ao estafe do jogador, então, acatar ou desistir de negociar com o Alvinegro. E foi justamente essa sinalização positiva que recebeu a diretoria nos últimos dias.

A novela pela renovação do meio-campista se arrasta desde o mês passado. Inúmeras conversas já aconteceram e a possibilidade da saída do jogador não foi descartada. Nesse meio tempo, Cittadini sofreu uma entorse no tornozelo direito e, aos poucos, deve voltar ao time titular.

Como seu contrato atual vai apenas até dezembro, a partir de julho, o atleta já pode assinar um pré-contrato com qualquer outra equipe e sair de graça em janeiro de 2019. No Santos, foi o que aconteceu, por exemplo, com Lucas Lima, que não quis renovar em 2017 e foi sem custos para o rival Palmeiras.

Aravinda de Silva, the outgoing chairman of selectors for Sri Lanka, has said that Sri Lanka’s failure to win the World Cup final is something he could not bear. “When we took over I remember telling Sanga (Kumar Sangakkara) that I don’t want it to be mentioned that the 1996 team was the only one who won a World Cup,” de Silva, a member of the 1996 World Cup winning Sri Lanka side said. “It’s time we changed that.”This was the best opportunity we had to go out there and give 200% and try and change it. To have not succeeded is definitely a very big disappointment for me. But at the same time the players gave 200% and they were committed. “Sri Lanka were beaten by India in the World Cup final in Mumbai on April 2. Lasith Malinga reduced India to 31 for 2 in their chase of 275 before the Indian middle order blunted the Sri Lankan attack to take the title by a comfortable six-wicket margin. Even Muttiah Muralitharan, in his final international game, went wicketless in his eight overs that cost 39 runs. There were questions raised about whether Muralitharan, who had been battling various niggles, should have been risked for the final, but de Silva said he is willing to take responsibility for that decision.”Murali some would say was not 100% fit but we are prepared to take the blame because I was one guy who told Murali that even on one leg he should play because he would still be a better bowler. That responsibility we were ready to take. That’s the sort of commitment a senior player like Murali has given to the cause.”de Silva said a new set of selectors was needed to take Sri Lankan cricket forward and focus on the 2015 World Cup. “A lot of changes need to be made; the correct decisions need to be taken both long-term and short-term. We have only two more weeks before our term expires so us making such decisions is not going to be of any consequence. We took an overall decision thinking of the future.The emphasis going forward should be on fast bowlers, de Silva said, as the next World Cup was in Australia and New Zealand where the pitches are more favourable for seamers. “[Also] the opening batsmen should not be too flashy but ones who can consolidate, being technically more solid because on those wickets the new ball assists the fast bowlers.”It’s not the current openers, but we must look for more solid openers for Australia and New Zealand. Changes have to be made and tough decisions taken, therefore the next chairman of selectors must be strong to implement them.”de Silva said that he would have to think hard about continuing as a national selector if he is asked again. “When I took over this job I said I would take it only on one ground that I won’t be able to travel with the team when they are on tour but spend time as much as possible at home and be with them. Over the last eight months, except for the final against India, I didn’t go on any of the tours mainly because for that reason.”Spending two hours with my family makes me happier than sitting through and arguing about teams for seven hours. But that commitment was an obligation on my part for Sri Lanka cricket for all that it has given me in the past. At the same time the other three selectors have done the same and I appreciate very much the amount of work they have put in. We were able to do a clean job and be very transparent with whatever we did for that reason I am very happy. There were no interferences and we were able to do a job with a clear conscience.”The other members of the selection committee were Ranjith Fernando, Amal Silva and Shabbir Asgerally. Fernando said that the committee had endeavoured to be transparent and approachable by the players. “Our belief is that every young boy in this country wants to play for Sri Lanka and if we don’t open the doors for them no one else will,” Fernando said. “So we at all times told them what they had to do and where they have failed.”That sort of transparency needs a lot of time. I don’t think we can afford that time in that fashion so easily. Those are the things that we have to consider if the job has to be done long term.”Fernando said that de Silva probably had the best cricketing brain in the country. “I have been his mentor when he was a young kid and I am proud to serve under him. Sri Lanka cricket needs to utilise his talents in some form in the future even if it is not of a selector.”His knowledge of every young cricketer at Under-19 level is virtually at the back of his brain at any given moment. That is the type of cricketing guy we need to take cricket forward. There are others as well but I am just talking about one.”
