It would seem time has stood still for Courtney Walsh. It was around thistime five years ago that he led an assault on England’s batsmen on this veryground that enabled West Indies to wrap up that third Test match of theseries in two days and a bit.Later during that series he went on to reach the landmark of 300 Test wicketsand today, having already become the highest wicket-taker in Test history, hepassed another significant milestone of 450 wickets.At 37, by the age most fast bowlers have passed their sell-by date, Walsh’sworkload has not diminished; at least not at the highest level of the game.His captain, Jimmy Adams, having put England in to bat, chose to keep him onto bowl for the entire morning session and Walsh’s response was with figuresof 3 for 23 in 13 overs.What makes his performance all the more remarkable is that the pitch thistime was not the ‘minefield’ that helped to condemn England to an inningsdefeat five years ago. Walsh on that occasion had claimed 3 for 54 and 5 for45.Today, he bettered the figures of that last five wicket haul on this ground.His 21 overs gave him a return of 5 for 36, a product of superbly controlledfast bowling. He moved the ball away, most effectively, from the righthanders with four of them falling to catches that came off the outside edge.Three of these batsmen, Mike Atherton, Andy Flintoff and Robert Croft playeddefensively at the balls that seamed away from them without getting behindthe line and were snapped up behind the stumps and at first slip in the caseof Flintoff.Graeme Hick, who has not always been convincing against top class pacebowling, once again showed his weakness and perhaps, more worryingly forEngland, has not done any good to his confidence. He was out to a very poorshot, playing from the crease he appeared to half-heartedly dab at the ball.The dismissal tested the agility of the slip cordon with the third slipknocking the ball forward to second slip to catch.Having got one good score against Zimbabwe, in three innings, he needed to beat the crease for a fair length of time today and get runs, if only to get inthe right frame of mind against an opposition that seems to get a hold on abatsman once they are on top.Having begun the summer’s Test series reasonably well last month againstZimbabwe, England’s batsmen reverted to the old habits of careless shots thathave brought about so many batting collapses in the past.Today, having got to a start of 44 for 1, they failed to consolidate theinnings. They lost six wickets in a space of just 68 runs. It was only thelate flourish from three tail-enders that added as many as 62 runs to boostthe total a little to 179. It now calls for tight bowling and fielding fromEngland to restrict West Indies’ score. Although, on 50 for 2 , the touristshave not got off to a flying start.

India Pistons had to struggle before dispelling the challenge ofIndian Railway by seven wickets at the AOC ground in the Moin-ud-DowlaCup at Hyderabad today. R Satish was Pistons’ troubleshooter with afine allround performance that netted three wickets and 46 runs. Itwas the second successive victory for Pistons who had trounced Andhrain their lung opener yesterday.Indian Railways won the toss and elected to bat but some incisivebowling by R Satish and Satyajit Medappa cleaved through their battinglineup as they succumbed for 152 in 42 overs. Four batsmen entered the20’s and 30’s but proved incapable of building upon that start, SudhirWankhede topscoring with 31 (50 balls, 2 fours). Opening bowler Satishsnapped up 3/45 but off spinner Satyajit Medappa outdid him with thenifty analysis of 3/14.Medappa however was not so successful with the bat, falling in thethird over to seam bowler Harvinder Singh for 4. Harvinder alsoremoved Medappa’s opening partner Vikram Rathour for 9. The Punjabskipper scratched around for 44 balls before having his stumpscastled. One drop Hemanth Kumar had already preceded Rathour to thepavilion to leave Pistons in an uncomfortable position of 32/3.It was left to JR Madanagopal and R Satish to pull Pistons out oftrouble with a 41 run fifth wicket stand. While Madanagopal fell bythe wayside for 37 (71 balls, 3 fours), Satish remained unconquered on46 (68 balls, 7 fours) to steer Pistons home This was not before theyhad undergone some more nervous tension with Satish losing two morepartners. But they recovered from 134/7 in the 45th over to triumphwith just ten balls to spare.

There was nothing dramatic about the first day’s play at the NehruStadium in Indore. The medium-sized crowd that gathered was given ahint of what was actually possible. On winning the toss, Guy Whittalldecided to kick off Zimbabwe’s tour of India by having a bit of a bat.The Zimbabweans did just that. After piling up 322/6 they declared andmanaged to scalp an NCA wicket in the dying moments of the day.To start the proceedings for the National Cricket Academy team RakeshPatel and Mrithyunjay Tripathi ran in hard. Both established a goodrhythm and troubled the Zimbabwe batsmen. On a wicket that had verylittle on offer for the bowlers, Patel worked up a decent pace and histhree wickets were well deserved. If he impressed the three nationalselectors who were present at the venue, the spinners did nothing tocatch the eye. Sharandeep Singh bowling his offspinners and VidyuthSivaramakrishnan bowling left arm spin failed to make an impact. Whilebowling well in patches, the duo served up far too many loosedeliveries.Stuart Carlisle who is known for his steady approach to batting wasunusually brisk in his manner and took just 83 balls to make his 61runs. If Carlisle was steady, Alistair Campbell was the epitome ofsafety. The talented southpaw put his head down and applied himselfperfectly. Taking very few chances, Campbell chalked up the runs withease. Using his feet well to the spinners, Campbell faltered just once- when he was on 44 and edged a catch to Sriram in the slips.Fortunately for him the chance was floored and he strode resolutelyon. When he brought up his century with a well placed single the crowdcheered lustily. If nothing he was endeared to the crowd when he tooka hard knock on the helmet from Tripathi and continued manfullydespite bleeding profusely.When Zimbabwe declared their innings closed at 322/6 Campbell wasunbeaten on 114. His innings included 12 fours and three hits thatsailed over the ropes. The biggest of those was a clout off MohammedKaif that disappeared back over the bowler’s head.With just nine overs to play out and light fading gradually, SridharanSriram and Nikhil Doru came out to bat. While Doru was flamboyant,Sriram stuck to his cautious method. Driving through the off side withconfidence and skill, Doru raced to 14 in no time. Unfortunately forthe lad, he drove hard at a ball wide of off stump and dragged theball back onto his stumps. Playing away from his body, the Rajasthanopener’s first mistake cost him his wicket.Sharandeep Singh joined Sriram out in the middle and the pair safelysaw NCA to stumps. Sriram was unbeaten on a patiently compiled 8 andthe NCA were 28/1. Tomorrow will be little more than a day of bowlingpractice for the visitors. It will be interesting to see how theyadapt to conditions in the subcontinent. At a first glance, theopening bowlers looked less than sharp. Bryan Strang was accurate, butclearly lacked pace. While Travis Friend managed to get the ball tomove a shade in the air, he did not get much nip off the wicket. Ifthe Zimbabweans are to win a Test match or more on this tour, theirbowlers will have to get into groove in a hurry.

Four days have now been completed of quite splendid Test cricket, played on one of the finest pitches seen in England for many years. The game is poised for a fascinating final day and beautifully balanced with England overnight on 85 without loss.Michael Atherton had to endure a fearsome examination from his old colleague Wasim Akram who peppered him with a series of shortpitched deliveries but both he and Marcus Trescothick stood firm. Waqar Younis was expensive but Saqlain turned several deliveries past the outside edge of the England left-hander which will give Pakistan significant hope for tomorrow. There were several close calls, and a handful of pleading appeals, but to Pakistan’s dismay both umpires remained unmoved.Trescothick helped himself to a final dessert with consecutive boundaries from the last two balls of the day. He needs two for his half-century tomorrow morning and England require a further 285 runs to win from a minimum of 90 overs.The day’s play, once again, had everything. Magnificent batting, plenty of boundaries, quick bowling and fortunes always in the balance.Inzamam and Yousuf Youhana had resumed in the morning and they moved their partnership serenely on to 141, Inzamam repeating some of the wonderful strokes of his first innings century. There was fluent driving, clips through mid-wicket and he was particularly harsh on anything short – one memorable six over mid-wicket off Caddick had the large crowd roaring their delight.Yousuf, also began to find his form and timing, but history repeated itself within 24 hours when both players in a big partnership departed inside six balls. Hoggard deceived Inzamam with a slow off cutter and Youhana was adjudged to have gloved a snorter from Caddick to Stewart, though TV replays showed that the ball had actually touched the helmet. Similarly, Younis Khan was unfortunate to get the nod from umpire Shepherd, lbw to Cork when he probably had nicked the ball on to his pad.The new ball was taken and Pakistan took the initiative. Although Caddick yorked Azhar, Wasim Akram flayed Gough, Caddick and Hoggard to every part of his beloved Old Trafford. Caddick was removed from the attack with figures of one for 16 from his two overs with the new ball. Driving, and pulling with savage intensity, the Pakistani icon established his team as the favourites to win at this juncture.A partnership of 50 with Rashid Latif, and some slogging from Waqar and Saqlain at the end ensured that England would require 13 more than their first innings score to emerge as winners in this magnificent Test Match.

With two convincing victories under their belt, a confident India lookto assert their superiority in the triangular one-day series for theCoca Cola Cup when they take on West Indies in Bulawayo tomorrow.The two teams are playing each other after a gap of two years and witha lot of newcomers in both sides, are unaware of their strengths andweaknesses.India, who have already assured themselves a berth in the final, willlike to treat the two matches with West Indies as a precursor to thetitle clash which in all probability would be played between the sameteams.For the West Indies, who defeated Zimbabwe in the only match theyplayed so far, it is a crucial game because theoretically there isstill a possibility of their being relegated.The record is heavily tilted in favour of West Indies who have won 40of the 63 matches played between the two countries with India winning21.Indian captain Sourav Ganguly, after the last match against Zimbabwe,had said he would like to experiment with the team now that they werethrough to the final. Some of the players have not got a chance toplay and might get their opportunity tomorrow.Pacemen Debasish Mohanty and Harvinder Singh and all-rounder ReetinderSingh Sodhi have not played any match in this series so far and therewere indications that all three may be accommodated tomorrow.That will mean a well-earned rest for Ashish Nehra and possibly AjitAgarkar and VVS Laxman who would get more time to let his injured leftindex finger heal.Sodhi has had a presence on the field in both the games againstZimbabwe coming on as a substitute fielder but for Mohanty andHarvinder this will be their first outing.Nehra has been the outstanding bowler for India on this tour and hasdone exceptionally well both in the Tests and the one-dayers. He hasbowled tirelessly and the team would like to preserve his energies forthe final.The batsmen have come up with a satisfactory performance in the seriesso far and with Ganguly finally getting runs in the last match, theline-up looks quite formidable. Though Ganguly was patchy in his 85-run innings, the team must be hoping that the captain has finally comeout of his prolonged lean form.The team had some other reasons too to draw satisfaction. DineshMongia played with a lot of confidence in the last match and vicecaptain Rahul Dravid was in ominous touch. Though Hemang Badani andVirendra Sehwag were non-performers with the bat, the two have provedtheir credentials in limited overs cricket and can be relied upon tocome up with useful knocks.For these youngsters, this would be their first experience of the WestIndies pace attack which is still quite formidable even in these leandays of West Indian cricket. It will be a test of their technique andtemperament when they face the likes of Mervyn Dillon, Reon King andCameroon Cuffy.Conversely, it would be interesting to see how the West Indian bowlersfare against the experience and class of Sachin Tendulkar, Ganguly andDravid, three of the top batsmen in the world in both forms ofcricket.Apart from Cuffy, Dillon and King, three men who are capable ofdemolishing any opposition with their pace, West Indies have spinvariety too in the form of Mahendra Nagamootoo – a leg-spinner – andcaptain Carl Hooper who can be very effective with his slow offspinners.Though the inspirational Brian Lara is absent, West Indies have somevery competent youngsters and they showed their prowess in the gameagainst Zimbabwe the other day.Hooper and left-hander Shivnaraine Chanderpaul are the mostexperienced of the lot and they form the batting mainstay of theirteam. Openers Chris Gayle and Darren Ganga and Wavell Hinds are veryexciting prospects with the ability of playing big knocks.The wicket looks to be perfect for batting and tomorrow’s game isexpected to be marked by high scoring.The teams (from):India: Saurav Ganguly (captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Mongia,Rahul Dravid, Hemang Badani, Virendra Sehwag, Samir Dighe, ReetinderSingh Sodhi, Harvinder Singh, Harbhajan Singh Ajit Agarkar, ZaheerKhan and Debasish Mohanty.West Indies: Carl Hooper (captain), Darren Ganga, Chris Gayle,Shivnaraine Chanderpaul, Wavell Hinds, Ridley Jacobs, Reon King,Cameroon Cuffy, Mervyn Dillon, Mahendra Nagamootoo, Marion Samuels,Ramnaresh Sarawan, Kerry Jeremy.

West Indies’ arrival in the country last Thursday was completely overshadowed by the hype surrounding the Second Test between Zimbabwe and India that started at Harare Sports Club the following day.The West Indies are in Zimbabwe for their first ever tour since Zimbabwe attained Test status in 1992 and it will be only their second Test series after Zimbabwe’s tour of West Indies in March last year. West Indies won the series with a two-nil whitewash.Their brief stay in the country was rather marred by an irresponsible report on both the national television and radio on Saturday evening, which alleged that someone from the Zimbabwe Cricket Union had warned the Windies players against walking in the streets of the capital. Both ZCU and West Indies team have since dismissed the report as baseless.”We categorically refute the allegations that they represent the view of ZCU. It is our position that the streets of Zimbabwe are among the safest in the world and that Zimbabwe remains the safest of all havens for visitors. This is the message that we always propagate to all our visiting teams and the approach was no different as regards our current touring teams,” said ZCU vice-president Dave Everington in a statement.”We have not received any information about Zimbabwe that we can interpret as negative. There has been no attempt by anyone whatsoever to paint any negative picture about this country to us. We are settling in here and we are quite comfortable here in the capital. We expect to enjoy the tour,” said West Indies manager Ricky Skerritt.Skerritt said that they were looking forward to a competitive series against Zimbabwe. “We expect it to be a tight series. Zimbabwe is a very competitive team and they have been doing very well at home. We have a young team so it will be good experience for us and we are looking forward to it.”The triangular one-day series is also going to be very tough. India is one the highly rated one-day teams and we have not had a very good record in one-day cricket of late. Zimbabwe are known to be a very competitive one-day team and this leaves us as underdogs. So for us to get into the final will be a great achievement.”We lost more games than we won in the last one-day series. In Australia we got into the final but we struggled to do that. We beat Zimbabwe but again it was not easy. We then had a home series against South Africa and again we did not do well. They beat us 5-2 in the seven-match one-day series after we won the first match.”But it was valuable experience for us. We have a lot of young players who have not had a lot of one-day matches. Our bowling attack is the worst affected as it is very inexperienced. And for the guys to handle pressure against sides like India and Zimbabwe will be a very good test.”Zimbabwe’s Test record has not been that impressive. They are, after Bangladesh, the newest Test-playing nation and the victory over India on Monday was a very good win for Zimbabwe and they have had a very good run at home this season. They are getting better, producing more players, and producing a more competitive Test team. We are through a rebuilding phase and they have just come out with a very good win against India in the last Test and our series against Zimbabwe will be very competitive.”I wouldn’t want to single out any players for special mention. Obviously the more senior players have established themselves, the captain and the Flower brothers. Zimbabwe has a well-balanced team, improving all the time so we will take them as a team and not as individuals.”Captain Carl Hooper also spoke about the series against Zimbabwe. “It’s going to be a very good series with Zimbabwe playing some good cricket at the moment. They have just beaten India in the Test to draw series. The tri-series will be close too and I think Zimbabwe are a very good one day-side as well as India. We expect to give a good account of ourselves.”The series against South Africa was a good one for us. They (South Africa) are second only to Australia in the world. We are rebuilding the side and we don’t feel under any pressure at all to win here in Zimbabwe. We have a young side and it will take a while for them to come through.”We are here to play Zimbabwe as a team and we are not going to single out any individual players for special attention. We are just going to play some good cricket over the next couple of weeks.”

New CLEAR Black Caps coach Denis Aberhart will have no qualms about seeking expert advice to address any technical deficiencies among his players.Aberhart commented on criticisms of continuing technical faults among New Zealand players in recent years after his appointment today.”All players have technical things wrong at different times in their careers. All players have things they can improve, technically, mentally or physically.”My role is securing people who can help them do that.”No coach can know everything,” he said.Aberhart, who will take the New Zealand team to Pakistan for his first assignment, in September and October, will be quite happy to take a back seat in the public profile of the side.”I hope Stephen Fleming will do all the talking to the media and the like.”The game is about the players and I will assist the players to be the best they can be,” he said.Black Cap batsman Craig McMillan recalled that Aberhart was his first coach when he came into the Canterbury side at the start of his first-class career.He said there was a winning philosophy in the side at the time under Aberhart.”Losing wasn’t an option with the team and he will bring his special traits to the New Zealand team.”He’s a people person and while he is a coach who can be a hard taskmaster, he can also be your friend,” McMillan said.”That’s what I enjoyed most about him, he pushed you hard to reach the targets he had set. But you could also have some fun and talk about things other than cricket at the end of the day.”While McMillan said Aberhart would have something of a baptism of fire with Pakistan as his first tour, any tour was tough at the best of times.Aberhart will be a selector of the national side as well. He believed that a coach needed to have some say in the selection of the players he wanted to play the game the way it was best played, with the resources available.He is also keen to see the New Zealand team rid of its injury problems of last season because at full strength the side showed it had the ability to beat anyone.More consistency in both Test match and One-Day Internationals had to be a goal, and that had not been possible last year due to the injury concerns.”I’m looking forward to the challenge and doing my bit to lead the team forward,” Aberhart said.He said he was especially thankful for the support of his family, his employers at his school and to the Otago Volts for allowing him the chance to stay in the coaching frame last summer.

Unseasonal rain, accompanied by more seasonal cold, brought an end toZimbabwe’s longest season after West Indies, chasing 348 to win, had progressed from 42 for one overnight to 98 for one. The play that did take place suggested a draw would have resulted anyway, so West Indies won the two-match series by virtue of their victory in Bulawayo. Zimbabwe’s sole consolation was that they had fought back at the last ditch with great honour.Zimbabwe continued their surge for victory in miserable weather in front of an almost empty ground, as no schoolchildren were bussed in for the final day, no doubt to the benefit of their health. The cricket was not quite as dismal as the weather, but Zimbabwe’s seam bowlers could find no assistance from the pitch or conditions. Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan simply took batting practice, under no pressure, and after half-an-hour a tame draw seemed the most likely result.It took over an hour for Zimbabwe to turn, in desperation, to a spinner, and immediately Raymond Price found some sharp turn. West Indies seemed to have no vision of victory, and perhaps, had the weather allowed, Price might have caused them some flutters.20-minutes before lunch the drizzle began and the players were able to seek the shelter of the pavilion; not so the media, who had no escape from the makeshift media centre still in existence at this ground, which has proved unsuitable throughout the winter.Less than 10-minutes were lost, though, and immediately on resumption Taibu missed stumping Sarwan off Price. Hamilton Masakadza bowled his leg-breaks for the first time immediately before lunch, and missed a low, hard return catch from Gayle.Only 20 minutes after lunch drizzle drove the players off the field again. This time it developed into a heavy downpour, while the ground staff stayed out in it, trying desperately to save a match that, in such unpleasant climatic conditions, probably nobody wanted. The rain had stopped by tea, which was taken early.The end came rather farcically. Five further balls were bowled, enough for Gayle to reach his 50, when further rain drove the players off the field; it stopped, the players returned, so did the drizzle . . . they played on briefly until common sense finally won the day. Another downpour then made it clear that the match was ‘de facto’ over long before the ‘de jure’ announcement was made. West Indies finished with 98 for one (Gayle 52, Sarwan 31).

In terms of match practice, India could have done without the final day of the three day practice match against Sri Lanka Board XI being abandoned, but Indian skipper, Sourav Ganguly was philosophical. “It’s a little bit disappointing, but we got a day to bowl and day to bat. So it’s something rather than nothing,” he said.When a journalist asked whether he had ever come across such a sub-standard wicket, Ganguly avoided another controversy: “All I can say is that I have been involved in a match which was abandoned due to similar conditions.”The curator of the venue, Milroy Muttuvele, tried to get the game going by repairing the pitch after the captains had called for the umpires to let them have some match practice. His efforts were unavailing, as the game was called off after a 3pm inspection.Ganguly said: “They tried their best you know. Normally in a cricket game you can’t do too much about the wicket once the game starts. But since two captains requested some practice, it went on. It was a mutual effort, but unfortunately we couldn’t get going because the wicket was still wet.”The visitors played four batsmen who have come fresh from India for the Test series, and the captain emphasised the positives. “The openers got some runs. I got some runs as well. Sameer spent some time in the middle, so it’s not bad,” Ganguly said. “It would have been nice if the middle order batsmen had got a go as well.”But the Indian skipper added that they must start again from the beginning when the Test match comes around: “We got some good batting practice, but a Test match is a different ball game: the pressure is much higher.”The Indians go into the crucial Test series with just two days’ match practice. Ganguly added: “Now we’ve got to go for the Tests straightaway. The conditions are similar to India; it’s no different to back at home.”In the absence of star player Sachin Tendulkar and the consistent VVS Laxman, Ganguly is aware that the Indians need to rethink their batting strategy for the Test matches. “Probably Rahul would bat high in the order I might move up the order as well,” he said.
