Bengal came close to sealing a knockout berth with a nine-wicket win over Tripura, who remained at the bottom of the table. Bengal surpassed their target of 122 in the 26th over, with openers Shreevats Goswami and Arindam Das scoring fifties.Bengal chose to field and Laxmi Shukla and offspinner Saurashish Lahiri did not let any substantial partnerships flourish, apart from the sixth-wicket stand of 49 runs between Manisankar Murasingh (45) and Rajib Datta (19). Tripura were reeling at 50 for 5 in the 20th over before Murasingh and Datta took them to 99. Three wickets apiece from Shukla and Lahiri meant Tripura could not go beyond 121.Bengal were hardly bothered in the chase, apart from the wicket of Arindam for 51. He added 104 with Goswami, who carried on to remain unbeaten on 51.Bengal are on the top of the table with three wins from as many games.Assam strengthened their chances of reaching the knockouts, and ended Jharkhand’s, with a seven-wicket win in Kolkata. Assam’s top and middle order ensured they didn’t stutter much in their chase of 192 after Saurabh Tiwary’s hundred.Jharkhand were tottering at 19 for 5 after Arup Das removed the top order and Abu Nechim got two batsmen caught behind. Tiwary rescued them with 107 off 125 balls even though he didn’t get much support at the other end. SP Gautam accompanied him with a patient 11 off 43 before the main contribution came from No. 9 Rahul Shukla, who scored 39. Tiwary’s second List A hundred meant Jharkhand got close to 200. Arup finished with 3 for 16, and Nechim and Syed Mohammed picked two each.Assam’s chase was led by fifties from Dheeraj Jadhav (68) and Sibsankar Roy (62). They put on 117 for the second wicket before Jaskaran broke the stand. They were eventually steered home by Arun Karthik and Syed.South ZoneBoth of Thursday’s matches in Secunderabad were washed out without a ball being bowled, with Karnataka and Goa progressing into the knockouts. The winner of the match between Andhra and Tamil Nadu could have joined Goa – who lost to Hyderabad in Hyderabad – on 12 points, but with both having lost to Goa, they wouldn’t have progressed as the head-to-head result is used to separate teams on equal points. Instead, the washout meant Andhra and Tamil Nadu took two points each and finished on 10 apiece.The other match in Secunderabad, between Karnataka and Kerala, was also washed out. Karnataka finished the zonal stage unbeaten, with 18 points from five matches.Hyderabad pulled off a consolation win to pick up their first points of the tournament, beating Goa by seven wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Having chosen to bowl, Hyderabad bowled Goa out for 170 in just 33.3 overs, with left-arm seamer Chama Milind picking up four wickets. Five Goa batsmen crossed 20, but no one converted that to anything substantial, Sagun Kamat top-scoring with 30.Hyderabad began their reply sedately, and they moved to 67 in 17 overs before they lost their second wicket. Thereafter, Hanuma Vihari and Dwaraka Ravi Teja accelerated, adding 91 for the third wicket before Vihari fell for a 84-ball 67 in the 32nd over, with victory a mere 13 runs away. The win arrived just four balls later, with Ravi Teja finishing unbeaten on a 44-ball 51.Central ZoneA maiden List A five-wicket haul from medium-pacer Swapnil Bandiwar helped Vidarbha sail into the knockouts with a nine-wicket win over Uttar Pradesh in Nagpur. The match was a straight shootout for second place on the Central Zone table, and everything went right for Vidarbha right from the moment they chose to bowl. Uttar Pradesh slipped to 42 for 6 in 15.3 overs, with Bandiwar taking the first four wickets, and it took an unbeaten 36 from their No. 7 Akshdeep Nath to take their score past 100. They finished on 112, and were bowled out in 37 overs.Vidarbha’s chase was stress-free, with openers Faiz Fazal and Jitesh Sharma putting on 88 in 24.3 overs. Jitesh was dismissed for 43, while Fazal continued to finish unbeaten on 56 off 95 balls, with six fours and a six.Rapid hundreds from Ashok Menaria (103*) and Arjit Gupta (107) gave Rajasthan a 77-run win in the dead rubber against Madhya Pradesh in Nagpur. Menaria and Gupta struck 26 boundaries together to charge them to 316 as Rajasthan registered their first win and MP finished last without a win.Rajasthan were 83 for 4, in the 23rd over, out of which Pranay Sharma scored 60 before Menaria and Gupta got together to score their maiden List A hundreds. Menaria’s unbeaten knock came off 89 balls with four fours and seven sixes, and Gupta took only 65 deliveries for his 107, which featured eight fours and seven sixes.MP lost two early wickets and were led by opener Mohnish Mishra (36) briefly. Their only hope was the 85-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Harpreet Singh (49) and Anand Bais (42) as no other substantial partnership flourished. Lower-order contributions also came from Rameez Khan (29*) and Ankit Sharma (31) but they were all out for 239 in the 47th over. Pankaj Singh ended with figures of 3 for 35.

George Bailey, Australia’s stand-in captain, defended his team’s decision to leave Nathan Lyon out of their playing XI against South Africa, insisting that the offspinner’s absence “didn’t turn the match”

Liam Brickhill in Harare27-Aug-2014

George Bailey, Australia’s stand-in captain, defended his team’s decision to leave Nathan Lyon out of their playing XI against South Africa, insisting that the offspinner’s absence “did not turn the match”.Without Lyon, the part-time spin of Steven Smith and Glenn Maxwell leaked 40 runs in five overs and the seam attack fared little better as centuries from AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis helped South Africa to a seven-wicket win.”I certainly think 327 could have been enough, but knowing that it’s a pretty good wicket and only having four out and two new balls, it’s always going to be a challenge,” Bailey said. “You’ve got to keep trying to find a way to take wickets, and unfortunately we couldn’t do that. I could have probably bowled our part timers a little more, or got them into the game a little earlier, but you can only have XI unfortunately.”The Harare Sports Club pitch played slow and low in the Test featuring South Africa and Zimbabwe earlier this month, and though it has quickened up a touch since then, it remains a track where the toss as well as the quick bowlers’ variations once the shine comes off, remain important.Australia were not helped by losing the toss and being sent in this morning, but Bailey admitted that their attempts to use bowling variations to temper du Plessis and de Villiers had fallen short.”We tried taking the pace off the ball a little bit and it didn’t seem to have too much effect at different times,” he said. “There’s no doubt that variation is going to be a key, and that’s down to mixing up your pace and lengths, and how you bowl at different stages. But we’ve got to give a little bit of credit to Faf and AB, I thought they batted beautifully.”One thing Bailey and Australia will be pleased about is the performance of their top order in the series so far. Three batsmen passed fifty against Zimbabwe, while Phil Hughes complemented Aaron Finch in an opening stand of 92 before Finch went on to a century today.”Hughesy batted really well, and particularly once we were sent in I thought that was a really important start for us. It was a little bit challenging at the start and I thought those guys got us off and running.”They’ve been pretty consistent. Hughesy has had limited opportunities but keeps putting his hand up. Finchy seems to be getting better and better, and it was great to see him go on and turn that into a hundred today. That’s something that we’ve spoken about, and he’d be pretty satisfied with that. I think that’s the challenge for all of our top order players: to get hundreds. As you saw in the chase, it makes it so much easier when you get someone you can bat around for the majority of the innings.”

New Zealand have brought in seamer Neil Wagner for legspinner Ish Sodhi as they hunt their second series victory in the Caribbean

Big PictureA six-Test winning streak and the World T20 title had signaled the possibility of a change in fortune for West Indies in 2012 and 2013. It was not to be. They lost four of the next five Tests; Darren Sammy lost the captaincy and retired from the format. The wholesale changes – a revamped bowling attack – did not produce immediate success in the first Test against New Zealand in Jamaica, but West Indies battled through five days to level the series in Trinidad. The third Test in Barbados brings with it the hope of a morale-boosting win for the hosts.There’s a lot at stake for New Zealand too. They have won only one series in the Caribbean, in 2002, and arrived for this tour with a reputation that has gained weight over the last two seasons. They added to it with a “nigh perfect” performance – in Brendon McCullum’s words – at Sabina Park but faltered in Port-of-Spain, highlighting the difficulty of winning an away series. New Zealand will be raring to take the opportunity and need the captain McCullum, their only batsman without runs, to lift his game.West Indies were heartened by the manner in which their batsmen responded after the problems in the first Test. They brought in two in-form players for the Trinidad Test – Kraigg Brathwaite and the uncapped Jermaine Blackwood – and reaped immediate rewards. Brathwaite scored his maiden Test hundred while Blackwood impressed with 63. The others chipped in too – Darren Bravo made his first Test century at home, Kirk Edwards’ aggressive fifty was a statement of intent, and Chris Gayle smashed his way through to the target. With Kemar Roach and Jerome Taylor, the bowling looks in good shape.If the Bridgetown pitch promises to be as seamer-friendly as it is said to be, the contest may be decided by which team handles pace better. New Zealand, with more technically sound batsmen, would consider that to be a head start.Form guide (Most recent first)
West Indies WLLLD
New Zealand LWDWWWatch out forJerome Taylor’s return to Test cricket has been positive. He is the leading bowler in the series with 10 wickets and has kept batsmen under constant pressure with his accuracy. Taylor has swung the ball, old and new, at pace, and on more fortunate days he would have had more wickets to show for it. He is eight short of 100 and will hope the Bridgetown curator prepares the ideal surface for him to reach the milestone.Brendon McCullum and Ross Taylor were the stars of New Zealand’s home summer prior to this West Indies tour. Taylor’s three centuries, including a career-best 217, set up a 2-0 win against West Indies, while McCullum 224 and 302 helped beat India 1-0. They have had no success in the Caribbean though. Despite getting some runs, Taylor has appeared scratchy. McCullum’s form has been worse – 31 runs in four innings. Considering how long the offspinner Mark Craig batted in the second innings at Port-of-Spain, similar resolve from the New Zealand captain could have helped his team save the game.Team newsWest Indies are unlikely to tinker with the XI that squared the series irrespective of the availability of offspinner Shane Shillingford, who missed the last Test due to a niggle. Shannon Gabriel, who replaced Shillingford, was the least threatening of the three West Indian seamers, but he found life on a dying pitch towards the end of the Test. With Barbados likely to have the most pace-friendly conditions, and Shillingford blunted due to the ban on his doosra, Gabriel’s case is stronger.West Indies: (probable) 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Kraigg Brathwaite, 3 Kirk Edwards, 4 Darren Bravo, 5 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 6 Jermaine Blackwood, 7 Denesh Ramdin (capt & wk), 8 Sulieman Benn, 9 Jerome Taylor, 10 Kemar Roach, 11 Shane Shillingford/Shannon GabrielThe difference between West Indies and New Zealand’s XIs in Port-of-Spain was the make-up of their bowling attacks. New Zealand played two spinners to West Indies’ one. The visitors have changed that for Barbados, bringing in left-armer Neil Wagner as the third seamer in place of the legspinner Ish Sodhi, whose four wickets were expensive in Trinidad. Mark Craig was wicketless in the second Test but his marathon batting effort in the second innings went in his favour.New Zealand: 1 Tom Latham, 2 Hamish Rutherford, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Brendon McCullum (capt), 6 Jimmy Neesham, 7 BJ Watling (wk), 8 Neil Wagner, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Mark Craig, 11 Trent BoultPitch and conditionsRain is likely over the next five days, but if forecasts are to be believed the weather will not disrupt the Test too much. It is the pitch the teams will be keeping a careful eye on. “Kensington always has a little bit in it for the bowlers as well,” Ottis Gibson, the West Indies coach, had said. New Zealand will not mind that either.Stats and trivia This will be West Indies’ 50th Test at Kensington Oval. They have won 22, lost 10 and drawn 17 New Zealand registered their first Test win in the West Indies in 2002, at Kensington Oval New Zealand beat West Indies six times in 30 Tests till 2000, and six times in 14 games after the turn of the centuryQuotes”It’s beautiful, a great atmosphere. Good wicket to bat on at all times. Barbados is very passionate about the game. A fantastic ground, love playing here personally, you get quality for your shots.”
“The opposition is not going to allow you to play that sort of cricket (second Test) all the time but that’s the cricket we want to play and that’s what we will set out to do.”

Apesar da grande superioridade alvinegra durante os 90 minutos, o placar foi aberto somente aos 17 do segundo tempo, em uma bela cabeçada de Vagner Love após cruzamento de Fagner. Autor do primeiro gol da noite, o centroavante analisou o confronto:

– A gente sabia que seria um jogo difícil, que eles vinham para jogar atrás, e a gente precisaria ter tranquilidade e paciência. Criamos muitas oportunidades, acho que o placar poderia ter sido mais elástico. Mas o Corinthians está de parabéns pelo resultado, pela primeira etapa vencida. Agora, é virar a chave para o Brasileiro e depois pensar no jogo de volta lá na Venezuela.

Matt Walker, the batsman who enjoyed a 19-year career in county cricket, is returning to his old club Kent as part of their new coaching setup for 2014.

ESPNcricinfo staff30-Jan-2014Matt Walker, the batsman who enjoyed a 19-year career in county cricket, is returning to his old club Kent as part of their new coaching setup for 2014.Walker, who scored over 12,000 first-class runs, returns to Canterbury to become assistant coach under Jimmy Adams, leaving Essex where he held the same role for the past three seasons having finished his playing days at Chelmsford.The change comes following a very disappointing 2013 for Kent where they failed to challenge in all three competitions. Walker is one of a number of new personnel at Kent with Dan George stepping up to become first team physiotherapist.Other changes see Michael Najdan appointed analyst and Jon Fortescue, who previously worked with Surrey, Hampshire and Warwickshire, becoming the club’s strength and conditioning coach.”I am delighted to be returning to my roots,” Walker said. “I cannot wait to get back to Kent and get started in helping the club deliver some on field success. A return to my home club is something I hoped for and I aim to help a talented group of players deliver what they are capable of.”I want to say a huge thank you to everyone at Essex. When I came as a player, everyone has made me feel extremely welcome, for which I’m grateful. I would especially like to thank Paul Grayson for giving me the opportunity as a player and obviously as a coach. He put his faith in me as a coach and I am eternally grateful for that opportunity.”Grayson expressed his disappointment at seeing Walker move on: “It is hugely disappointing to lose Matt as he is an excellent coach. He is a super bloke and we’ve enjoyed him as both a player and also coach.”We completely understand his reasons for going. He’s going to leave us with a lot of memories and will be missed but we wish him all the best in his new career.”Walker will be reunited with Essex when they travel to Canterbury for a County Championship match on Saturday, June 7.

Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim rated the 3-0 ODI whitewash against New Zealand slightly ahead of their 4-0 win over the same opponents in 2010

Mohammad Isam in Fatullah03-Nov-2013

Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim rated the 3-0 whitewash against New Zealand slightly ahead of their 4-0 win over the same opponents in 2010. He believed the win this time was evidence of Bangladesh’s progress and at the same time argued it is harder to follow up on a previously high achievement.The home side won three close matches last time New Zealand visited, but in the current three-match series they won comfortably in the first two and chased 309 in the third and final game in Fatullah.”Both the achievements have different experiences but personally the 3-0 win feels better for me,” Mushfiqur said. “Firstly, I am the captain, and secondly because you can achieve a result with a lot of hard work but to hold that result is even more difficult.””During the 4-0 win in 2010, the team was different. Here our best performers were not in the team. Despite everything we won this series, so I feel this series win is doubly important. This is proof that the Bangladesh team is improving.”The sense of confidence within Mushfiqur’s team was evident in his decision to bat first in Mirpur in the second ODI, which they won by 40 runs, and also by the decision to field first in Fatullah. The recent scores on this newly-laid wicket suggested that batting first would be a better option due to lower bounce in the second innings. However, it turned out to be a truer wicket with better bounce and Bangladesh made 309 when the average second-innings score on these wickets had been 157.”It wasn’t a win-the-toss-bat-first kind of wicket,” Mushfiqur said. “Since it was a day game, we wanted to use early swing in the first five to ten overs, take wickets and put them on pressure.”But they started well and it seemed like they would score 320-330 at one point. A score like 307, with the new ODI rules, is not a big target. We just tried to play at our best.”This win was secured by the little contributions within the batting line-up. It started with Ziaur Rahman’s cameo where he swung at almost every ball and came up with two fours and two sixes in his 20-ball 22. By the time he fell in the eighth over, Bangladesh’s run-rate was well in line with what was required.Mominul Haque’s 32 kept the run-rate intact while Naeem Islam’s half-century was responsible for the rest of the innings. Nasir Hossain provided the finishing with an unbeaten 44 off 38 balls, with Sohag Gazi and Mahmudullah also helping out”I think the small contributions were a lot in numbers. The young players are playing well, putting pressure on the senior players. We also have to try to hold our position,” Mushfiqur said.”This is good for Bangladesh cricket. Everyone sees the team’s interest ahead of their own.Mushfiqur revealed he had had a talk with Nasir after the batsman did not contribute in the first two matches of the series. He added that Naeem, too, was an inspiration because he was not even in their plans until Shakib Al Hasan came down with dengue fever, but he turned out to be one of the Man-of-the-Series contenders with the highest runs among both teams although that ultimately went to the captain”I never thought of becoming the Man of the Series,” Mushfiqur said. “I was congratulating Naeem because he is the highest scorer, so he was unlucky that I got it. He wasn’t supposed to play. If Shakib didn’t get sick he would not be playing the whole series, so I feel that everyone has matured a lot.”Nasir didn’t score in the last two games. I have been telling him for the last two days not to worry too much. When the team needs runs you will score, we said. I hope that we can continue like this which is the biggest challenge. It’s difficult but if we have the mentality we can do it.”

Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh allrounder, is likely to miss the beginning of the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League with a hairline fracture to his thumb, which puts him out of cricket for three to four weeks

ESPNcricinfo staff28-Aug-2013

Shakib Al Hasan, the Bangladesh allrounder, is likely to miss the beginning of the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League with a hairline fracture to his thumb, which could put him out of cricket for three to four weeks.Shakib had met with the national coach Shane Jurgensen upon his return to Dhaka from his stint at the Caribbean Premier League, and was taken for X-rays after his thumb was bandaged. BCB physician Monirul Amin said Shakib had picked up the injury while training with the Barbados Tridents and will be sidelined until mid-September.The Dhaka Premier League, after several postponements, is scheduled to begin on September 3 and the first-of-its-kind “player by choice” auctions for the tournament took place last Friday, where Shakib was recruited by Kalabagan Krira Chakra.Shakib has been struggling with injury over the course of the last season. He had to bowl 97 overs during the Tests against West Indies in November, 52 of them coming in the same innings. The stress left him with exertional compartment syndrome to his shin and in February, he was ruled out of Bangladesh’s tour of Sri Lanka to undergo surgery to his right calf muscle. After recovery, Shakib returned to international cricket, albeit as a batsman, for the Tests against Zimbabwe and eased into his role as a bowler for the limited-over series that followed.Shakib’s recovery is crucial not only for Kalabagan Krira Chakra, who finished ninth last season in the Dhaka Premier League, but also for Bangladesh as they will host New Zealand for two Tests, three ODIs and a Twenty20 in October.

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews has underscored the spunk in Sri Lanka’s Champions Trophy campaign, and marked their spirit a vital asset as they attempt to topple India, who have been the form team of the competition

Andrew Fidel Fernando in Cardiff19-Jun-2013

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews has underscored the spunk in Sri Lanka’s Champions Trophy campaign, and marked their spirit a vital asset as they attempt to topple India, who have been the form team of the competition. Sri Lanka did not arrive in England as one of the favourites, but are now set to play their sixth semi-final in the last eight global tournaments.Their two victories, over England and Australia, have ultimately been comfortable, but there were tense moments in both matches, where things might have easily gone awry for Sri Lanka. England set Sri Lanka 294 at The Oval, thanks in part to a 28-run final over. Sri Lanka rode down their target in the 48th over, thanks largely to an unbeaten 134 from Kumar Sangakkara, but also to Nuwan Kulasekara’s 58 from 38, which made light work of a challenging required run rate.The victory against Australia was no less dramatic. Mahela Jayawardene’s 81-ball 84 first saw the side overcome the loss of two wickets inside the first four overs, and later, it took a stunning Tillakaratne Dilshan return take to end a 41-run last wicket stand that had brought substantial anxiety in a must-win match. The closest game of the lot was the one-wicket loss against New Zealand, which might have turned Sri Lanka’s way if all the umpiring decisions late in the match had been correct.”Especially after the New Zealand game, we had to do it the hard way,” Mathews said. “We had to beat England in English conditions and also the Australians, who have played well recently. All three games went down to the wire, and we had to fight really hard to win. The team confidence is very high. We know that we are a fighting team, and we fight to the last moment. Hopefully we can once again have a good performance.”Sri Lanka have relied on their three experienced batsmen so far in the tournament, with Sangakkara, Dilshan and Jayawardene topping the run-scoring lists for the side. Only Lahiru Thirimanne among the other batsmen has a half-century to his name, but Mathews was confident Sri Lanka’s batting order was not top-heavy.”I would say Mahela and Sanga are the backbone of the batting line-up, but we’ve got a few youngsters in Dinesh Chandimal, Thirimanne who can take the bowling apart,” he said. “We are not just depending on certain people in the team because all seven are good batters. Whoever gets set on that day has to continue for a long spell and try and get the team into a good total.”Sri Lanka have faced India regularly in ODIs in the last three years, but have not fared well in comparison to their exploits against other teams. Since 2010, Sri Lanka have lost 12 matches and won only eight, with one game having ended in a tie. Part of the reason for that record has been spearhead Lasith Malinga’s poor form against India, which some Indian batsmen have credited to their familiarity with his bowling in the IPL. Malinga has not trained with the team on days immediately preceding matches during the tournament, but ahead of the semi-final, he sent down several overs in the nets as well as doing specialised work with bowling coach Chaminda Vaas. Mathews said the extra effort was due to desire on Malinga’s part to overcome an average of 40.88 – his worst against any team.”Lasith takes every game seriously, but it’s just that he wants to do a little bit more for tomorrow,” Mathews said. “We play against India a lot, as well, not only in the IPL. Whoever is playing against anyone all the time gets used to them. Lasith is a very good bowler and he’s an experienced bowler and I’m sure he will come into those situations and have a few different ideas for tomorrow.”
