Test cricket returns to Brabourne Stadium after 35 years © Cricinfo Ltd
 

Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium is set to host a Test match after 35 years, when England tour India in November-December for a two-Test series. The change was prompted due to the unavailability of the Wankhede Stadium, the regular Test venue, which is undergoing renovation for the 2011 World Cup in the subcontinent.The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) had discussions with the owners of the Brabourne Stadium, the Cricket Club of India (CCI), over the sharing of tickets and a three-year deal on hosting rights will be signed on June 18.”A formal agreement, for a period of three years till Wankhede is available to us again to host matches, is to be signed with the CCI on June 18 when our managing committee meets,” Dr PV Shetty, the joint secretary of the MCA, told . “The discussion part is over and the CCI authorities have agreed to keep 50% of the club house tickets to themselves and give the rest to us [MCA].”Incidentally, England were the last visiting team to play a Test at the Brabourne Stadium, back in 1973. A dispute over tickets between the MCA and the CCI led to the birth of the Wankhede Stadium nearby, which held its first Test in 1975. Brabourne hosted three one-day internationals between 1989 and 1995, before playing host to five ICC Champions Trophy games eleven years later. The last international match played there was a one-off Twenty20 international between India and Australia last year.

Jacobs sets up Rest of South Africa lead

by csb10.top Uncategorized

North West player Davey Jacobs became the king of Lenasia as he played The Rest of South Africa XI back into a strong position against Sri Lanka at the end of day three of the four-day match.Losing three sessions in the first three days was always going to result in a tame draw. It was, however, Jacobs who put the spark back into the match. Coming to the crease in the third over of the South African innings he scored a magnificent hundred in 153 minutes.With the Lenasia faithful arriving to watch Muttiah Muralitharan bowl,Jacobs, who turns 20 on the 4th November, stole the show away from arguably the world’s best spinner. Dropped when on 43, off the bowling of Muralitharan, he took 67 runs in 60 balls including seven fours and two sixes off the off spinner. Jacobs put together an entertaining 146 (22×4, 2×6) with the majority of his runs coming on the on side.”I have hardly ever played a slog sweep or even a reverse sweep, but decided at lunch that today was the day,” the young batsman said. Both slog sweeps sailed over the wide mid-wicket fence and the reverse sweep ended just short of going for the maximum. “We had decided before the innings that we would play our shots and sweep against the spinner, and it paid off,” Jacobs added.His dominance was reflected in the 159 partnership with Hashim Amla with the latter only scoring 40.The day had started in bright sunlight, in contrast to the first two days, with Sri Lanka resuming their innings on 315 for five wickets. Batting on for eight overs they moved the total along to 336/5 before the declaration came.Fernando having gone to his fifty in the second over of the morning was not out on 57 and Tillakaratne not out on 79.Rest of South Africa started in a rush before captain Ahmed Amla top edged a pull to square leg losing the first wicket on 15. A 55 partnership between Jacobs and James Henderson followed before the latter was trapped leg before by Chamile Gamage Lakshitha for 30 and the hosts 70/2.Once Hashim Amla had been trapped in front by Muralitharan the wicketsstarted falling regularly. Three down for 229 became four for 243 whenJacobs left on 146 caught at extra cover. Joubert followed soon after tea bowled by Muralitharan for 11 (268/5) and Con de Lange left with the score on 280 trapped in front by Muralitharan for five. A mini collapse for the locals, going from 229/2 to 280/6.Jon Kent showed some resistance and in going to his fifty was brilliantly caught by Perera at deep mid on, diving forward and to his left, for 48.Kruger van Wyk and Garnett Kruger helped the score past the Sri Lanka first innings total of 336 to end on 368/8 when bad light stopped play on day three.

Chanderpaul and Sarwan seal draw

How they were out

Ramnaresh Sarwan’s 128 helped West Indies avoid any major problems on the final day © AFP
 

A fighting century from Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s trademark resistance saved the match for West Indies but not the Frank Worrell Trophy, which Ricky Ponting’s men secured with a tense draw in Antigua. Australia have become accustomed to walking all over West Indies in recent years, but their domination deserted them at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, where they fell five wickets short of the ten final-day breakthroughs they required.A couple of late successes gave Australia a sniff with the new ball when the match seemed all but over, however it was Chanderpaul who guided his team home and finished unbeaten on 77 to secure the first draw between the sides since 1995 – along the way he became the first batsman to make unbeaten fifty-plus scores in both innings of a Test on three occasions. For most of the day Chanderpaul had stonewalled with Sarwan, realising that their huge chase of 372, while tempting, was realistically out of reach. They seemed to have done the job and saw West Indies through almost to the final hour when Ponting’s last gamble, throwing the new ball to Mitchell Johnson, paid off first delivery.Johnson found some extra bounce and Sarwan, on 128, tried to fend the good bouncer and skewed a catch to Michael Hussey at gully. When Brett Lee added Dwayne Bravo, whose leading edge was snapped up by Brad Hodge at point, Ponting was no doubt having flashbacks of Sydney in January, when his men snatched a last-minute win against India. There was no fairytale ending this time and Ponting’s conservative decision to give his attack just one day to dismiss West Indies had come back to bite him.Skittling West Indies quickly was always going to be tough on a benign pitch, and although Lee gave it a good crack in the first session the defence of a familiar pair made the job even harder. Five years ago Chanderpaul and Sarwan were national heroes when they each made centuries up the road at the Antigua Recreation Ground to guide West Indies to the Test-record fourth-innings chase of 418 against Australia. The pair knew the situation was different this time; on that occasion they had more than two days to fight their way to the target.Even so, Sarwan seemed to be aiming for victory before lunch when he hustled to a half-century from 68 balls. He was prepared to slash at risky aerial cuts through and over the cordon and he drove confidently. His problem was that at the other end, Lee was troubling his partners in another fast and fiery spell. West Indies lost three wickets before lunch and after the break their mindset changed; they were only interested in salvaging a draw. Chanderpaul was designed for this sort of task but for Sarwan it required a greater degree of urge control. His aggression had to be checked and to his immense credit the captain did the job superbly. He was a rock in defence but was still happy to punish loose balls, cover-driving well and cutting when given width.Sarwan had one nervous moment on 92 when a fairytale finish beckoned for Stuart MacGill, who thought he had the key breakthrough in his final Test. MacGill, bowling better than at any time on the tour, drew Sarwan out of his crease with a ripping legbreak that pitched on leg and turned past the bat. Brad Haddin whipped off the bails and the Australians were confident, but the TV replays were inconclusive.It was a perilously close call and given their misfortune with umpiring earlier in the game, nobody could begrudge West Indies when the third official gave Sarwan the benefit of the considerable doubt. At the time the Sarwan-Chanderpaul partnership was worth 49 but of more concern to Ponting was the time the pair had eaten up. Australia picked up no wickets in the second session and a worried Ponting even turned to the rarely seen medium-pace of Hussey.Sarwan brought up his 11th Test century with a sweep for four off MacGill two balls before tea, reaching the milestone from 181 deliveries, and if he hadn’t saved the game he had at least dragged it in from a dangerous Australian current. After the break it was more of the same and desperation crept in for Ponting, who changed his bowlers and field with increasing hopelessness as he searched for a crack that would lead him into West Indies’ lower order.That moment came with the new ball but Chanderpaul remained resolute. For a man who once spent more than 11 hours at the crease in a Test in Antigua, it was a task to be relished. Chanderpaul’s half-century came slowly – it took 148 deliveries – and it wasn’t until Johnson and the retiring MacGill dropped in a few bad balls that he finally loosened up, only to go into lockdown again when he lost Sarwan.The pair had been forced to work hard following some early tremors. West Indies were set their lofty target when Australia declared at their overnight total of 244 for 6 and the visitors’ spirits lifted even more with a pair of early wickets. Lee bowled fast and short and picked up Devon Smith without scoring when the batsman half-heartedly guided a shortish ball straight to Hussey at gully. When Stuart Clark chipped in with Xavier Marshall, who was softened up by Lee’s barrage and feathered a Clark bouncer behind, West Indies were wobbling at 19 for 2.Sarwan and Runako Morton steadied things with a 65-run stand when Lee was resting, but as soon as the spearhead returned for a second spell he ended the partnership with his first ball. Morton was simply too slow to react to a cracking inswinger that also cut back off the pitch and struck him dead in line, giving Mark Benson one of the easier lbw decisions of his umpiring career. Then came Chanderpaul.By the close it was West Indies who were happiest with the result. After the first session they knew they had no real chance of winning and a hard-fought draw was a satisfying finish. Australia would be disappointed that victory eluded them, and yet they emerged with the Frank Worrell Trophy.Their selectors have some thinking to do ahead of the third Test, with MacGill’s departure leaving a gap in the attack. At least Simon Katich, who was off the field for most of the match after suffering bruised ribs during his first-day century, is likely to be fit for the series finale in Barbados. Australia enter that game with a 1-0 advantage and will be desperate not to finish it with a 1-1 series draw.

Under 19s face anxious wait

by csb10.top Uncategorized

Hampshire YCs face an anxious wait before they find out if a dramatic one-wicket win over Kent has been enough to clinch a place in the quarter-finals of the ECB Under-19 County Championship."At this stage, we are top of the group table, but our destiny is no longer in our own hands," explained U19 manager Raj Maru."It all depends on how Essex get on in their remaining zonal match this week."Calmore’s Matt Metcalf and Naqeeb Ali Mohamed were Hampshire’s last gasp heroes after Kent had recovered from 133-7 to reach 265-all out.David Wheeler (3-61) and Eugene Burzler (3-53) were Hampshire’s most successful bowlers. Martin Bushell (64) held the top order together as Hampshire sagged to 140-6 before a near-century stand between Tom Burrows (53) and Ben Thane (44) righted the ship.Even then, Hampshire plunged to 236-9 before last pair Metcalf and Ali Mohamed came together to add 36 precious runs and give Maru’s boys a dramatic one-wicket first innings win.Hampshire were dismissed one run ahead at 266 all out before Liphook’s Chris Wright (4-34) took all four wickets in Kent’s second innings score of 104-4.

Tailenders give Northerns the edge in Bowl final

by csb10.top Uncategorized

Another tense day saw Western Province end 57 runs behind with just eight wickets in hand.Honours were fairly even when tight bowling reduced Northerns to 166 for 7, just a single run ahead. However, the tail wagged merrily to release the stranglehold and give the visitors a lead of 109 runs.Northerns made a slow start, with both overnight batsmen dismissed without addition. Maurice Aronstam hung around longer than his partner. He spent 40 scoreless minutes before getting a faint edge against Mark de Stadler, who had earlier seen Allahudien Paleker caught in the slips. Some gritty batting followed, with the first signs of aggression coming from Friedel de Wet. He could easily have been out first ball, edging Paul Harris past gulley, but hung in, hitting merrily before ironically perishing offering no shot to Ryan ten Doeschate.Thereafter wicket-keeper Jorrie Jordaan took over, hitting ten boundaries in his innings of 56 off 89 balls. He found a particularly handy partner in Hampson, adding 73 for the eighth wicket off 112 balls after Hampson had looked decidely shaky early on. The last two wickets marshalled another 35 runs. Harris was the pick of the bowlers, taking 4 for 76 in 43 overs, conceding just nine boundaries. He bowled virtually unchanged from the Kelvin Grove end, enjoying a brief rest only when the second new ball was taken.Needing to survive 28 overs before close of play, Ryan Maron in particular found himself subjected to some hostile bowling by de Wet. It came as no surprise when he fended off another short delivery from the Northerns paceman and was caught at leg gulley. JP Duminy batted with more discretion than in his brief first innings, standing resolute for almost an hour before edging Hampson. Rashaad Magiet, scoring 31 in just less than two hours, and skipper Jonno McLean survived the last 9 overs despite several confident appeals.With two days left, the home batsmen will have to follow Magiet’s example and play with much more application than was the case in the first innings.

Windies 'Getting Better'

by csb10.top Uncategorized

Is this the turning point?West Indies’ emphatic ten-wicket victory over India in the third Cable & Wireless Test yesterday has triggered renewed optimism among fans, but the team management doesn’t want to get too carried away.What coach Roger Harper was prepared to admit was that there had been signs of development.This team has been growing for a while. Obviously, to members of the media and the West Indian cricket-loving public, not as fast as we would like, but I think the signs were there, Harper saidI think we are still turning the corner. I wouldn’t say we have arrived yet, but I think this team is getting better and better.This match was one in which the West Indies outplayed India from the first bell when Mervyn Dillon bowled Shiv Sunder Das. They never once lost the grip and went on to win by one of their biggest margins in recent times.We’ve had victories before. I don’t think we should get carried away with this one, Hooper said.We’ve still got another two Test matches to play. We want to enjoy the moment. We’ve worked hard for it. In a couple days’ time, we’ll resume again in Antigua. We have got to enjoy this one and still remain focused for the job on hand.Hooper added that it was one of the few matches when West Indies bowled and batted as a unit.After rolling over India for 102 on the opening day, they responded with 394 and then restricted India to 296 in the second innings.The good thing about this Test match was that the victory was convincing. We totally outplayed India in every department, Hooper said.We should take the same thing into Antigua. The thing we’ve got to caution against is that it is a new Test match. It starts from scratch again.There have been numerous times in the past when we’ve started to play well and we went from having a good Test match and played poorly.Harper was pleased with the fielding and the work of the quartet of fast bowlers in light of the fact that West Indies had conceded six totals of more than 450 in their previous nine matches.All the bowlers in the team are aware of the fact that we’ve been bowling wicket-taking deliveries, but in between those deliveries, we’ve been giving away too many boundaries, the coach said.This is an area we have focused on as a team and try to put it right. It is good to see the team going out there and executing.

Victory in sight

The West Indies have learnt by recent bitter experience not to counttheir chickens before they hatch.The way things have been these past few years, they have to be out oftheir shells and chirping loudly before any celebrations can begin.Yet, the fifth and final Test has incubated nicely over the first fourdays and their first victory since last June 13 matches ago is readyfor hatching.All that is needed now to finish it off is the discipline and patiencethat have got the situation to its promising stage.Throughout the West Indies have shown the resilience that has been somarkedly absent from their cricket for so many years and have beenunquestionably the better team.The upshot has been their strongest position since they blew a firstinnings lead of 143 over England at Lord’s with an all-out 54 in theirsecond innings ten months and 14 Tests ago.Mainly through their toughest character, Ridley Jacobs, they recoveredfrom the insecurity of 126 for five in their second innings on thefourth day to total 301.It left South Africa with a colossal task to keep their unbeatensequence of 12 Tests intact and extend their lead in the series to3-0.The challenge was 386 over the last five sessions of the match. NoSouth African team, before or since apartheid, has ever got near thatto win a Test and, even though eight of their 11 have Test hundreds totheir name, it is a distant goal.By the close of the day, extended by an hour because of three rainbreaks, the West Indies had got rid of three of them for 140,including Herschelle Gibbs and Daryll Cullinan, their two leadingscorers in the series with over 400 runs each.South Africa start the last day needing another 246 off the minimumrequirement of 90 overs and the West Indies need another sevenwickets.It is a victory that would not only be an appropriate parting gift forCourtney Walsh in his farewell Test but a stimulating result for WestIndies cricket that has suffered such pain for so long.They made the necessary inroads into the South African innings throughthe same commitment that has marked their game throughout.In a lively, accurate spell before tea, Merv Dillon removed the lefthanded Gary Kirsten, caught off the under edge as he belatedly pulledhis bat out of the path of a lifter over off-stump, delivered fromround the wicket.The West Indies were realistic enough to know not to expect anotherSouth African collapse as in their first innings 141. Gibbs, asadventurous as always, and Neil McKenzie, promoted to No. 3 for thethird time in the series, made them work for an hour and 40 minuteswhile adding 65.Finally, Gibbs’ patience was exhausted as Dinanath Ramnarine andHooper contained him after an after-tea flourish in which he punishedDillon’s looseness that brought 29 runs from four overs.Heaving an ugly sweep at Hooper, Gibbs was bowled, an embarrasing endto a fruitful series for the opener.Cullinan, South Africa’s most prolific batsman with hundreds atQueen’s Park and Kensington already in the series, replaced Gibbs.He played with few problems before Hooper recalled Walsh for a secondspell.The man of the moment had been off the field receiving attention and asoothing injection after a painful blow to the ankle while battingearlier in the day. The Sabina crowd greeted his return with theunderstandable reception and almost brought the house down when histhird ball beat Cullinan coming forward for umpire Steve Bucknor’s lbwdecision.Another three-quarters of an hour remained and McKenzie and JacquesKallis only survived it with a few alarms.Kallis edged Ramnarine a foot short of Chris Gayle at slip. McKenziejust managed to scramble back into his ground before Jacobs broke thestumps after one from Ramnarine that deflected from the pads. McKenzieagain got the benefit of Bucknor’s little doubt on an lbw claim fromWalsh.The West Indies’ position was already strong when the day started on ahumid morning with clouds hovering low over the Blue Mountains. Thelead was already 339 but captain Hooper called for another 30.He got more, even after Ramnarine was dubiously caught at first slipby Cullinan off Shaun Pollock’s third ball of the day.Tossing the ball in the air as he fell backwards and diving forward totry to gather it in again, Cullinan did not seem to have control ofthe ball but umpire Srinivas Ventararaghavan raised his finger all thesame.It made no significant difference. In between a break for one of theday’s three showers, Jacobs and Cameron Cuffy raised a further 32before Jacobs swung his hook off Lance Klusener to deep square-leg.His 85, occupying just over four hours all told, was made while 161were scored, an invaluable contribution from an invaluable player.As Walsh walked to the wicket for the last time in Test cricket, theSouth Africans formed a guard of honour as the Englishmen did at theOval last August and the Australians did at the SCG last January. Itwas another touching tribute to a greatly admired sportsman.Walsh at least avoided adding to his record 43 Test ducks before heskewed a catch to cover. Soon he was back, striving for the result heis desperate to achieve.

Martin hands Leewards first win, Jamaica firmly on top

Leg-spinner Anthony Martin picked up a career-best 7 for 81 to give LeewardIslands their first win in the tournament against Guyana in Nevis. Needing a further 206 runs for victory, Guyana picked up from their overnight 36 for 2 and battled to add 90 runs in the morning session for the loss of two wickets. The experienced Narsingh Deonarine and Royston Crandon then steered the visitors to a fighting 126 for 4 at lunch, still 116 runs adrift of victory. Both batsmen brought up their half-centuries and appeared to be guiding Guyana to victory with a 101-run fifth-wicket stand but the visitors’ position declined rapidly after Martin dislodged Deonarine for 56. Even as Martin produced a five-wicket burst after lunch, at 229 for 8, just 13 runs away from the target, Guyana were still on course for the win. But Gavin Tonge had Davendra Bishoo caught behind and Martin dislodged Esaun Crandon soon after to seal the win before tea.Martin was elated after helping Leewards snap a two-game losing streak with the 10-run victory. “I am feeling so good right now and I don’t even know what to say,” he told . “I just had a good feeling out there and I told myself that I had to do it. The team was depending on me to put in the work and I did.”David Bernard and Wavell Hinds stroked unbeaten half-centuries to hand Jamaica a six-wicket win over Barbados in Jamaica. Bernard (60) and Wavell Hinds (59) were involved in an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 122 that lifted the table-toppers and defending champions from a precarious 81 for 4 and gave them their third win of the tournament. Chasing 201, after Barbados were bowled out at the close of play on Sunday, Jamaica stuttered as left-arm seamer Pedro Collins and left-arm spinner Ryan Hinds made early inroads, picking up two wickets apiece. Bernard and Wavell Hinds came together just after lunch when captain Tamar Lambert was bowled by Ryan Hinds and the duo defied the Barbados bowlers, keeping them wicketless in the post-lunch session before achieving victory. Bernard struck six fours in his 133-ball innings, while Hinds hit two fours and a six in the 148 balls he faced.

Titans and Scorchers kick off group of Dad's Armies

Big Picture

In typical self-deprecating New Zealand style, Gareth Hopkins recently referred to his Auckland Aces side as Dad’s Army. Hopkins and Aces have company now that they have qualified for Group A of the Champions League T20 proper. Two of the Group A sides, which will kick the tournament off, can lay equal claim to be old age-wise for Twenty20 cricket.Titans, who will be playing at their home ground, Centurion, are captained by the 38-year-old Martin van Jaarsveld. They have five other players on the wrong side of 30, including key imports Henry David and Alfonso Thomas. Fighting with the 23-year-old Eden Links for the final spinner’s slot is Paul Harris, who will be 34 in a month’s time.Perth Scorchers are not to be left behind either. The 33-year-old Marcus North will lead them, with Paul Collingwood, Herschelle Gibbs, Simon Katich and Brad Hogg, 35-plus all of them, providing the side enough experience. Their highest wicket-taker in last BBL, Ben Edmondson, and wicketkeeper Luke Ronchi are over 30 too.It’s an interesting start, then, to a format that is supposed to be of the young, by the young and for the young. Looking, however, at how well Aces did in the qualifying tournament, don’t consider number of years inversely proportional to the quality of cricket. Come Saturday, and these sides will certainly want to showcase the energy and enthusiasm of the group of Dad’s Armies.

Watch out for…

The Marsh brothers will be important components of Scorchers’ campaign. Mitchell Marsh was the second-highest run-getter in BBL, and scored 77 in the final although Scorchers didn’t win it. Before he left for the Tests, Shaun Marsh too made his presence felt with an unbeaten 99. Scorchers have other hitters around, but the Marshes will be the backbone of their batting order.Delhi Daredevils may have no use for him, but at his home ground the fiercely competitive Roelof van der Merwe can be a handful. He will hit, he will bowl left-arm slow with the aggression of a fast bowler, and he will be all over in the field for Titans. If he doesn’t bring energy to the kick-off, not many will.

Stats and trivia

  • Among the two squads, Simon Katich, Alfonso Thomas and van der Merwe have played the most Champions League matches, 11. However, they will all be representing new teams here: Katich has moved from New South Wales to Scorchers, Thomas from Somerset to Titans, and van der Merwe has previously represented Royal Challengers Bangalore and Somerset.
  • Marais Erasmus is standing in his 81st Twenty20, which makes him the third-most prolific umpire. He is also on his way to becoming the most prolific, with the two men ahead of him, Simon taufel and Billy Doctrove, not as active.
  • Titans have never played Scorchers
