Tendulkar most reliable batsman: Former Kiwi cricketers

CHRISTCHURCH: When it comes to batting for life, Sachin Tendulkar is the choice for most of the Kiwi cricketers, who rate the Indian batting maestro as the most accomplished player of his generation. New Zealand's 'Herald on Sunday' newspaper asked a few former cricketers who was the best batsman in the world and whom they would like to bat for their life? Replying to the questions, former Kiwi Test players John Morrison and Dipak Patel picked the Indian batting ace and were all admiration for his exploits all around the world in different conditions and various match situations. "I'd go with Tendulkar. He is still the most capable batsman in the world. He has the full array of shots too, though he might not play them as freely as he once did," Morrison said. "I like Tendulkar because there are guys out there brilliant on certain types of surfaces but he is adept at playing on anything." "Slow, bouncy, turning, whatever - he covers the field on

Flintoff doubtful for second test, Harmison in squad

England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is doubtful for the second Ashes test against Australia at Lord's starting on Thursday after suffering pain in his right knee during the drawn first Test in Cardiff. Flintoff was included in a 14-man squad named on Monday -- with pace bowler Steve Harmison the only addition -- but the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement the all-rounder's place would depend on the results of a scan. "We have a like-for-like selection with Steve Harmison coming into the squad from a bowling point of view," England selector Geoff Miller told Sky Sports News. "But we will need to consider all our options carefully when we come to determine the make-up of our bowling attack at Lord's and the final decision will depend on our assessment of the pitch and the likely overhead conditions," Miller added in the ECB statement. Harmison won his recall following a series of good performances for Durham. Flintoff scored 37 in the first

Sri Lanka race to series win against Pakistan

Sri Lanka romped to a seven-wicket victory over Pakistan to win the series after the visitors suffered a dramatic batting collapse on the third day of the second test on Tuesday. Sri Lanka raced to their 171-run victory target in 31.5 overs during the afternoon with opener Malinda Warnapura scoring a brisk 54, Kumar Sangakkara an aggressive 46 and Mahela Jayawardene finishing off the game with an undefeated 37. Having won the first test in Galle by 50 runs, Sri Lanka now have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-test series and can celebrate their first series win against Pakistan on home soil. The run chase had been set up by bowlers Rangana Herath and Nuwan Kulasekara, the pair ripping through the Pakistan order after lunch as nine wickets fell for just 35 runs. Spinner Herath claimed career-best figures of 5-99 and seamer Kulasekara finished with 4-37 as Pakistan were dismissed for 320. A few hours earlier, Pakistan had seized control of the match when makeshift opener Fawad Alam (

Ashes rivals will be happy to drink with Flintoff

England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff has found one place where he can still sneak a pint ahead of the Ashes series. The new found place is Australian dressing room, where he is welcomed by Australian vice-captain Michael Clarke, among several others. “In Australia I spent a bit of time in the changing-room with him. There are going to be some tough times on the pitch and I think it would be silly for us not to catch up and congratulate each other and grab a beer or whatever,” the News of the World quoted, Clarke, as saying. According to reports, Freddie is close to several of the baggy green players and when England were thrashed 5-0 Down Under in 2007, former coach Duncan Fletcher claimed the all-rounder was in the Australia dressing-room and drank until midnight after the Second Test in Adelaide. Flintoff has also had a scandalous life, which has been full of controversies. Earlier, Strauss read Flintoff’s riot act over his drinking escapades last week and fined him 1,000 after a booz

Harmison and Panesar await their fate

Image
The speed with which England vacated the field at Edgbaston on Friday afternoon revealed plenty about their mindset in the lead-in to next week's first Test in Cardiff. The time was 5pm on a perfect summer's afternoon, and the opportunity was there for at least another hour and a half of fine-tuning. However, it was not deemed necessary by England's think tank, who have seen enough already, and just want to get the proper action underway now. On Sunday, that action will come one step closer to fruition when the national selector, Geoff Miller, unveils England's trimmed-down squad for Wednesday's massively anticipated Ashes opener. That Miller has spent the week in the stands at Worcester, watching the Lions - and more pertinently, Steve Harmison - rather than fussing about the form of, say, Monty Panesar, suggests that 11 of the expected 13 names on his list will be fairly easy to second-guess. All the permutations, therefore, come down to the selecti

BCCI to review Deodhar decision

Following protests against the scrapping of the Deodhar Trophy tournament, the BCCI has decided to review their decision. The BCCI had this past week cancelled the Deodhar Trophy for the 2009-10 season due to the tight domestic schedule, but that has not gone down well with irate protesters of the Shiv Sena, a right-wing political party in Mumbai. Sena activists shouted slogans outside the Wankhede Stadium, where the BCCI has its headquarters, claiming the board had insulted the late DB Deodhar, after whom the limited-overs tournament was named. "The Board has insulted Marathi pride by cancelling the tournament," Sena leader Subhash Desai was quoted as saying by the Times of India on Friday. "If the decision is not reversed, Shiv Sena will not allow a single IPL match in the state." According to a press release from the BCCI, the schedule of the Deodhar Trophy will be finalised at the board's working committee meeting in August. The inaugural Deo

Pakistan v Sri Lanka 1st Test, 1st Day

Image
Pakistan 15 for 2 (Thushara 1-2, Kulasekara 1-7) trail Sri Lanka 292 (Paranavitana 72, Aamer 3-74, Rauf 2-59) by 277 runs Pakistan had a day of typical Pakistani cricket. Two of their debutants got them off to a great start, but sloppy fielding and a failure to keep a lid on the scoring meant they hadn't run away with the game. The Sri Lankan batsmen, although never entirely comfortable in the middle, kept counterattacking, getting quick runs, making sure they got themselves a fighting total on a pitch that offered movement to bowlers of both variety. If Pakistan were slightly ahead at the end of the innings, the last half hour, when Nuwan Kulasekara and Thilan Thushara took a wicket each, made sure the match was as balanced as it was when it started.

Rain gave India the advantage - Kirsten

Image
Gary Kirsten, India's coach, has credited India's innings not being affected as much as by inclement weather as crucial to taking a series lead. West Indies innings began two hours late and was interrupted thrice due to rain, and further intervals initially readjusted India's target to 195 in 27 overs before a further shower reduced it to 159 in 22 overs. In the end, thanks to MS Dhoni's unbeaten hand, India won in the final over with six wickets in hand. "It definitely helps a team batting second in this type of set up," said Kirsten. "It did suit us to be batting second because you can dictate the game a little better when the overs are shortening in terms of what you need." India went into the final over needing 11 and Dhoni hit the second ball from Jerome Taylor over midwicket to leave India on course for victory. "Someone like MS Dhoni can hit the ball out the ground at any time so it was comforting knowing that we had him at the crease con

India vs West Indies 3rd ODI Highlights

The Indian skipper hit an unbeaten 46 as India won by six wickets in the last over to take a 2-1 lead. India beat West Indies by six wickets via Duckworth Lewis method in the rain-curtailed third ODI to take a 2-1 lead in the four-match ODI series at St. Lucia. More Details & Scoreboard

Ashes 2009 - Ponting plots his final act of revenge

There is very little that Australia [Images] captain Ricky Ponting [Images] has failed to achieve in his distinguished career, either as an individual player or as a leader. There is, however, one major achievement that has eluded him -- captaining his country to an Ashes series win in England [Images]. Ponting will get the chance to rectify that over the next few months and he cannot hide his excitement. "It's something very dear to my heart," he recently told reporters in Australia. Ponting is undoubtedly one of the greatest batsmen to have played the game and could well finish up as the leading run-scorer of all time when he finally retires. Only Sachin Tendulkar [Images], Brian Lara [Images] and Allan Border [Images] have scored more Test runs than Ponting but the Tasmanian boasts a higher batting average than them all and, at 34 years of age, he still has time to overtake them. Ponting's success with the bat has not gone unrecognized. He twice been chosen as the

Fast Bowler Irfan Pathan to marry Shivangi

It's a decision that could break a million hearts. 'Baroda bomber' Irfan Pathan (24) is set to marry long-time friend Shivangi Dev, daughter of an Indian diplomat in Australia. Pathan, who has known Shivangi for six years, told TOI their parents had finally given their nod to the wedding. "We know each other really well now," said a blushing Irfan, who first met his lady love in Canberra in 2003. The younger Pathan, however, is sure of the venue. "It will take some time but certainly in Vadodara. It will be a traditional wedding," he said. TOI had first reported about Irfan's relationship with Shivangi, in March last year. Irfan had first met her during a practice match. Talking about their first meeting, Pathan told TOI: "She was very shy and didn't talk much during our first meeting. It took quite some time before we got comfortable with each other and got into a relationship," Irfan said. So, who proposed first? "I was the one w

Sanath Jayasuriya Happy Birth Day to Your

Sri Lanka's veteran batsman Sanath Jayasuriya turns 40 on Tuesday, with a vow to carry on until the 2011 World Cup despite being the oldest cricketer still playing at the top level. "Age is not a problem, it is how you stay mentally and physically fit to remain on top of the game, to try out new variations with the bat and ball," Jayasuriya told AFP. The dashing batsman, who also bowls left-arm spin, made his international debut against Australia in Melbourne in 1989 and won praise as an all-rounder during Sri Lanka's victorious World Cup campaign in 1996. Jayasuriya is only the second batsman after India's Sachin Tendulkar to pass 13,000 runs in one-day internationals. He is also the oldest batsman to score a one-day century, at 39 years and 212 days. "I don't really worry about records anymore these days," the left-hander said. "I focus on putting runs on the board, to help the team win matches." Jayasuriya retired from Test matches in 20

Pakistan vs Sri Lanka T20 WC Final - SL vs Pak Twenty20 Final

Image
On the morning of March 3 in Lahore, the world of cricket was shaken to the core. The horrific attack on the Sri Lankan team bus, as it pulled into the Gadaffi Stadium ahead of the third day of the second Test against Pakistan, was the moment a thousand preconceptions were destroyed. Cricket's presumptions to diplomatic immunity had been mocked by the forces of evil, and as Pakistan spiralled into sporting exile and Sri Lanka's traumatised players rushed home to the bosom of their families, the obvious reaction was to wonder "what now?" for the great game. Three and a half months later, and sport's great gift for reinvention has delivered a contest that flicks two fingers at the perpetrators of the Lahore atrocity, and proves that - without wishing to overload the sentiment - the human spirit cannot be crushed by cold calculation. Pakistan and Sri Lanka will take center stage at Lord's on Sunday for the final of the most joyful international tour

Pakistan vs South Africa 1st Semi-final T20 - SA v Pak Live, Pak v SA

South Africa lack nowhere and nothing. If Jacques Kallis and Graeme Smith are the efficient drones at the top, there is heart in the middle, with the ever-frail skills of Herschelle Gibbs and the creativity of AB de Villiers. Even Albie Morkel, in whom there are glimpses of Zulu, thankfully smiles more. They've always had pace, but now they even have spinners, who are not batsmen forced to bowl. Sure, they are a little one-dimensional (watching videos of Umar Gul's yorkers?), but they are spinners - South African and successful; how often have we said that in the past?

Live Telecast Twenty20 World Cup 2009, ICC T20 WC, England Live Coverage

Image
The soaring popularity of Twenty20 cricket has prompted the International Cricket Council (ICC) to expand its base and reach a record 216 countries through television coverage in World Twenty20 beginning in England from June 5. The inaugural Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa in 2007 was a huge success. India, the financial hub of the sport, won the Championship and soon Twenty20 cricket became the new flavor in the cricket mad nation. It not only created a new and younger fan base for the sport but also entered the unexplored markets of China and America where there was no existence of the traditional five-day Test and One-dayers. It also gave birth to lucrative Twenty20 tournaments like Indian Premier League (IPL). ICC is looking to cash in on the popularity and enter new markets like Russia with this year's World Twenty20. 'We expect the ICC World Twenty20 to be the most viewed cricket event in the history of the game, which is a significant achievement considering it is ju

New Zealnad Won Warm-up Against India T20 WC

Image
New Zealand's unbeaten record against India in Twenty20s continued today by beating the world champions by nine runs in their warm-up outing at Lord's. Several New Zealand batsmen chipped in with aggressive contributions to post an imposing total which their bowlers, led by the reliable Daniel Vettori, defended tenaciously against a powerful Indian batting line-up. The India team had faced questions regarding fatigue and fitness because of their players' involvement in the lengthy IPL and they took the field without Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan. Yuvraj Singh also did not play a part in the match although he was on the team sheet. However, it was because of the batsmen that performed in the IPL - Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja - that India challenged New Zealand's total of 170. more details & Latest Updates

In Hayden's absence due to injury over the last two matches, Chennai posted one large total and one paltry one. His replacement, fellow Australian George Bailey, didn't really click. Parthiv Patel, who came back to open only three matches ago, overcame a first-ball duck with two handy cameos; in fact he top scored in the last game. What Chennai really need is for Albie Morkel and Jacob Oram to contribute with the bat, though Oram could make way for Michael Hussey. The bowling was pasted in that sapping loss to Kolkata, but a revamped line-up worked wonders against Punjab. Murali is the best bowler but has been well supported by Raina, Shadab Jakati and, in the last game, R Ashwin.

43rd Match Deccan Chargers Hyderabad v Delhi Daredevils

Delhi have rarely suffered a top-order collapse in the tournament because one of their overseas players in the top-order has always come good. AB de Villiers averages 67.75 with 271 runs in seven innings while Tillakaratne Dilshan averages just under 50. David Warner's form at the top has ensured that Sehwag hasn't been missed too much. In order to play Warner, Delhi have benched Daniel Vettori and credit must go to the others who have stepped up in the absence of the world's best spinner. Ashish Nehra is among the top wicket-takers in the tournament with 14 at 16.14 apiece while legspinner Amit Mishra has conceded less than six runs per over on average and taken eight wickets.

Indian Cricket Team For ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2009

RP Singh's inspired performance in the ongoing IPL Monday earned him a recall to the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup in England this June. RP, who was integral part of the 2007 T20 World Cup winning squad, had been struggling with his form ever since. His performance, however, in the second edition of the IPL in South Africa showed that he is back to his bowling best. Two other players who have long shown promise and backed it with performance at every given opportunity - spinner Pragyan Ojha and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja - were also included in the 15-man squad announced by the BCCI. The squad will be led by MS Dhoni and Virender Sehwag will be his deputy. Among the notable exclusion from the 2007 title winning squad is hard-hitting batsman Robin Uthappa. Pacer Munaf Patel too has been axed. The selectors last month had announced 30 probables and pruned the list on Monday. Among those who could not make it to the final 15 are wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik, Tamil Nadu opener M

Rajasthan Royals v Chennai Super Kings, Centurion, April 30, 2009 - Live Score CSK vs RR

Rajasthan Royals have been riding the talisman they call Shane Warne, and they would look for the same from their captain at SuperSport Park. Kamran Khan, Dimitri Mascarenhas and Munaf Patel have responded well to Warne's call. In their last game, against Delhi's mighty batting, the trio bowled 12 overs for 77 runs and five wickets. Warne has also been lucky that Yusuf Pathan has played two gems in both their wins. Chennai Super Kings will know they can learn a lesson or two from their overperforming opponents. Not much has changed in their line-up from last year, but they seem to have lost the touch. The batsmen, despite Matthew Hayden's good form, have provided little joy, and the bowlers, except for Muttiah Muralitharan, have struggled. On paper, Chennai look the favourites, but the fact is they have won only one of their five games. They will also know if they lose tomorrow, they will have less points than Bangalore, having played the same number of games. Live Score an

Adam Gilchrist and Herschelle Gibbs added 63 in quick time, Deccan Chargers v Mumbai Indians, IPL, 12th Match, Durban, April 25, 2009 Delhi Daredevils will want to see the back of Adam Gilchrist and Herschelle Gibbs. Delhi look the most likely team to upset Deccan's momentum. They were on a winning streak of their own but were upset by Rajasthan Royals and an incredible 83-run stand between Graeme Smith and Yusuf Pathan. That defeat was an eye-opener to several cracks; the fielding wasn't upto the mark and Daniel Vettori had a rare bad day at work. Live Score and ball by ball commentary
