Srinath restricts New Zealand SAS NAGAR, Oct 11 — The Indians looked a transformed lot as the day's proceedings started today, and by virtue of gritty bowling as well as batting performances put themselves on an even keel by the time stumps were drawn on the second day in the first Test of the three-Test series at the Punjab Cricket Association stadium here. This was in stark contrast to what it was a day earlier when they were made to look like novices and were at the receiving end throughout the day. Fast medium bowler Javagal Srinath led the charge with a four-wicket burst in the morning, which restricted the visitors to 215 runs. After that Indian openers debutant Debang Gandhi and Sadagopan Ramesh batted with determination and application to almost finish the first innings lead as India finished the day at 115 for no loss, needing 18 more runs to overhaul the first innings deficit. This was Srinath's sixth five-wicket haul in his 39th Test--he took the scalps of openers Mathews Bell and Matt Horne yesterday. This made him the most successful Indian bowler against the visitors now having taken 26 wickets to legendary all rounder Kapil Dev's 25. Debutant Gandhi and Ramesh were batting at 52 and 58 runs, respectively when the stumps were drawn for the day. Gandhi looked determined to make up for the yesterday's failure when he was dismissed without scoring and played an assured innings sans any blemish. Ramesh also played an equally valuable innings, though he enjoyed a better luck as he was dropped twice in the slips off yesterday's hero Dion Nash and earlier by Nathan Astle the hapless bowler being left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori. As the innings started Gandhi was a bit subdued while his senior partner Ramesh did the scoring. But after getting his eye in and having got the feel of the track he played some convincing strokes. The two boundaries he smashed to cover boundary off medium fast bowler Chris Cairns in the same over certainly looked to have been played by a confident batsman.Cairns, who failed to make much of an impression was despatched for two fours by southpaw Ramesh a short while ago. Gandhi miscued a shot off Vettori and scampered home for a single to complete his first half century in international career. He faced 118 balls and hit four boundaries, while Ramesh consumed 127 balls and struck six fours in his fourth fifty in fifth Test. Fleming and Astle, earlier in the morning, started from where they had left yesterday and took the score past the 150-run mark. Astle was more enterprising of the two and contributed 43 runs for the fourth-wicket partnership worth 57 runs before Fleming fell lbw to Srinath. Anil Kumble, stationed at gully showed alacrity and latched on to a difficult catch again off Srinath to dismiss Astle.Wickets kept on falling at regular intervals thereafter--McMillan, a promising middle order batsman, was consumed lbw by a Joshi delivery, while dangerous Cairns was castled by Venkatesh Prasad--as the visitors were all out for 215, taking a lead of 132 runs. India (1st innings): 83 New Zealand (1st
innings): India (2nd

Gaurav Ghei wins individual title KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 (PTI) — Gaurav Ghei returned the day’s lowest card of three-under 69 to win the individual title but India missed out on a place in the World Cup team golf Championships finishing sixth in the inaugural Asian Nations Cup here yesterday. The 31-year-old Delhi-based Ghei, who was at his inspirational best throughout the three-day event, fired another consistent round to finish at the top with a seven-under-par 209 for 54 holes at the Kota Permai Golf and Country Club here. Ghei, who is remembered more for being the first Indian to qualify for the 1997 British Open played at the Royal Troon, Scotland and his stunning upset victory against European great Colin Montgomerie, shot 69 and 71 in the first two rounds. Though Ghei’s partner, Rafiq Ali, improved upon his second round 80, his one-over 73 was not enough to enable India qualify for the World Cup to be held at the Mines Resort City course here next month. Rafiq, playing his first tournament abroad, returned cards of 73, 80 and 73 as India finished sixth at three-over 435 in the three-round, 21-team competition which was the qualifying event for the World Cup. The top four teams here made it to the World Cup where world number one Tiger Woods is expected to be the star attraction. The Korean pair of Kang-Wook-Soon and Wan-Tae beat Taiwan represented by Cheng Liang-Hsi and Tsai Chi-Huang by three strokes, while the Philippines and Myanmar tied for the third place a stroke further back. Kang and Kim fired solid level-par 72s each in the final round for a team total of three-under-par 429 for 54 holes. Korea and the Myanmar team of Kyi Hla Han and Soe Kyaw Naing, had started the final round as the joint leaders but the Koreans quickly took the outright lead after Kang birdied the first two holes. Kim also birdied the second. Myanmar held the second
place for much of the day until both Han, the current
Davidoff Tour Order of Merit leader, and Naing bogied the
par-5 18th. |
Gopi Chand goes down fighting BANGALORE, Oct 11 (PTI) — National champion P Gopi Chand’s bid to become the first Indian to win a Grand Prix badminton event after Prakash Padukone failed, as he lost in three games to China’s Xia Zuanze in the finals of the two star Yonex German Open Championships in Duisburg. The Dutch Open champion Xuanze, the world number 29, defeated Gopi Chand, ranked 50 in the world, 15-3, 15-15, 15-4 yesterday, according to reports received by the Badminton Association of India (BAI) here. Xuanze had also beaten Gopi Chand in this year’s All-England Championship, a BAI note noted. Gopi Chand was too tentative in the first game and waited for the Chinese to take the initiative. Zuanze won the first game at 15-3 and raced to a 8-0 lead in the second. Gopi Chand then started moving his opponent around the restored parity at 12. The tiring Chinese lost the second game 13-15. Gopi Chand lapsed into errors again in the decider to give his opponent his second title in two weeks. For Gopi Chand, this was a fruitful tournament where he, apart form the runner-up title, won the Fair Play award as well. This is his best showing after the runner-up finish at the Indian Open Grand Prix held in New Delhi in February 1997. The Indian contingent
now moves to Denmark for the Danish Open, which is a
four-star Grand Prix Tournament, carrying a prize money
of $ 1.2 lakh the note said. |
Sunil Kumar aspiring for Wimbledon honours WHAT former tennis internationals Ramesh Krishnan and Zeeshan Ali could accomplish at the age of 16, the “wonder boy” from Chandigarh Sunil Kumar has accomplished the same feat at the age of 15 and a half — the winning of the national hard court title at Delhi two days ago. From being the junior under 16 champion Sunil has graduated into the senior ranks and has surprised many by notching up the prestigious title which has provided a shot in the arm of the Chandigarh Lawn Tennis Association. Sunil is the product of the CLTA scheme for rural children, which was the brainchild of Mr Rajan Kashyap, the chairman of the CLTA. The scheme aimed at selecting boys and girls from the rural areas of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh for providing them education as well as intense coaching in tennis. The scheme initiated in 1989 has started yielding results as besides Sunil Kumar, a number of other players have began making their mark on the national scene. Sunil Kumar, the new national champion, was first spotted by the CLTA in 1992 under its rural tennis scheme. Hailing from Kapurthala, a small town of Punjab, Sunil was selected purely on the basis of his physical fitness. Before that he had only wielded ‘gulli-danda’ and had not seen a tennis racquet. But once he came under the CLTA wings, there was no looking back for the young Sunil, who turned out to be a formidable foe for the other trainees. His rise to fame was phenomenal. As he improved day after day, month after month, Sunil was selected under the Punwire tennis programme in 1995. This further removed grey areas in his game. Sunil is a natural baseline player but occasionally rushes to the net. He is more confident on the baseline but carries ammunition in the form of good strokes to overpower the present day crop of serve and volley players. Within years, Sunil became the top ranked player in the under-16 age group and went on to represent India in many international meets. He first shot to fame when he won the boys under-14 singles title in the third ITF Central Asian Tennis Tournament at New Delhi held from November 27 to December 1, 1966. This gave him great boost. He imagined name and fame was within his grasp. In August, 1997, Sunil was selected by the International Tennis Federation to take part in the ITF Asian boys under-14 team to play tournaments in Europe. A few months later Sunil won the national under-14 boys title in New Delhi in 1997. In April, 1997 Sunil had donned national colours and made it to the India’s under-14 team to play in the NTT world junior team championship in Jakarta (Indonesia). A month before Sunil was selected by the ITF to play for the boys under-14 Central Asian team in the sixth ITF Asian circuit held in Chiangmai in Thailand in 1998, he achieved a string of successes. He was the winner of the boys Shriram Nationals, winners of boys under-16 Addidas All-India Masters Tournament, winner of the boys open sub-jr tournament in Hyderabad, winner of the boys open sub-jr tournament in Guwahati and winner of the north zone boys under-16 singles title at Chandigarh and Delhi. The ITF also selected Sunil in the under-16 team to play in Europe. The All-India Tennis Association also sent him to play as member of the under-16 team in the World Youth Cup held at Hiroshima in Japan this year. His success at Delhi was both baffling as well as amazing. Sunil descended at Delhi straight from Jakarta where he participated in the Asian Schools Championship. Before making it to the nationals proper, he played six qualifying matches, won all. Then one after another he demolished one player after another. Talking to TNS today in an exclusive interview Sunil admitted he did not forsee going thus far. He only hoped to reach the quarters. But once he beat Asif Ismail, the former international player, and moved into the semifinals, he scented victory. In the semifinals, he continued his giant-killing and shocked Saurav Panja. Then in the final, he stunned Mustafa Ghose to crown himself as the new champion of hard court — true the title had come the hard way. Sunil is a left-hander who likes to pitch himself on the baseline. He practices one-and-a-half hours in the morning and two-and-a-half hours in the evening besides training for 30/40 minutes. Ramesh Krishnan who was in the city to inaugurate tennis courts at the PCA Stadium was all praise for Sunil, who, he thinks, should play maximum number of matches both in seniors as well in juniors in India and abroad. Ramesh also had praise for the CLTA scheme which aimed at picking up children from rural areas. Ramesh also said that Sunil had progressed faster than he had anticipated. Now he needs exposure, he should play as many matches as possible. Ramesh also held a word of caution for the media, it should not highlight too much. There should be objective approach in relation to his rise on the national scene. Sunil Kumar is leaving
for Maharashtra in a few days to take part in the
satellites, to further move on to masters competition to
garner enough ITF points before he descends for the
Wimbledon junior competition, an honour he aspires for.

Krishnan inaugurates tennis
courts CHANDIGARH, Oct 11 — Former India international and Davis cupper Ramesh Krishnan who rose as high as the 23rd in the world during his heyday inaugurated two tennis courts on the PCA Complex in SAS Nagar, near here, this evening. The occasion was marked by an exhibition match between Ramesh Krishnan and Ajay Jadeja on the one side and Kapil Dev and new hard court national champion Sunil Kumar on the other. The match saw a number of good rallies between the two pairs. The tennis legend Ramesh made cricket legend Kapil play volley after volley, much to the delight of the spectators who had gathered to watch the tennis and cricket stars. It was really fun time for all those who had assembled there on the occasion. At hand was president of the Punjab Cricket Association, Mr I.S. Bindra, and Mr Rajan Kashyap, chairman of the Chandigarh Lawn Tennis Association whose prodigy Sunil Kumar made headlines two days ago by lifting the national hard court title at Delhi. When the crowd had a good feast of tennis with the score tied at 3-3, Ramesh thought it was time to close the game. Two more games only, he quipped. ‘Yes, ok’, replied Kapil. And the two pairs played out the two remaining games, to mark an end to the doubles exhibition tie that was to precede the inauguration. Those watched from the sidelines were also a few of the Kiwi players. They also seemed to enjoy the show. Later, Mr Bindra as
president of the PCA, gave a cricket bat as a souvenir to
Ramesh Krishnan. After this Mr Rajan Kashyap, chairman of
the CLTA, presented a cheque for Rs 40,000 to the new
national champion Sunil Kumar. Sunil had already pocketed
Rs 40,000 as winner’s purse at Delhi where he won
the national title, shooting to fame as a 15 and a
half-year old boy from Chandigarh. So for him it was sort
of a matching grant from the CLTA. |
Ramesh holds tennis clinic CHANDIGARH, Oct 11 — Ramesh Krishnan, former India tennis star and son of legendary Ramanathan Krishnan, held a clinic for young tennis players at the Chandigarh Lawn Tennis Association courts here this afternoon. Ramesh who was in the city as guest of honour of the Punjab Cricket Association to throw open up two new tennis courts at the PCA complex in Mohali quickly responded to the request of Mr Rajan Kashyap, chairman of the CLTA, to have a clinic for the young players. So the former star was in full battle gear, as he used to during the time he played for India, white neat shorts and a t-shirt. He was in fact much ahead of the boys and girls who were to assemble for the clinic to hone their skill further. The clinic began at around 4 p.m. on the outside synthetic courts of the CLTA complex with 20 odd boys and girls ready for a tennis lesson from the legend who loves coaching the future generation. After giving a small lecture on the game, he goes on to demonstrate the right technique for every stroke. Ramesh begins with how to position oneself near the baseline during serving, where to put weight and how to toss the ball. Most even did not know how to toss the ball in the air correctly. To them he told that the toss should be simple and high, without spin. When you toss the ball, it should fall about 1 foot in front of you, he explained. Don’t vary the toss. Hide the ball from your opponent so that he does not know where you are serving. Similarly conceal your stroke also so that the opponent has no idea where you are going to hit. Then he demonstrated by hitting the ball as he had told, picking up one ball after another from the basket. The youngsters saw in amazement. They were all ears for the finer points being told by the master tennis player. Ramesh concentrated on basics — like serving and tossing the ball in the air besides, of course, technique of the strokes. Not satisfied, he made some of the players execute strokes or serve, the way he had told. Some learnt, others tried — true, the message had reached home. The boys were quick learners. Outside, Mr Rajan Kashyap, CLTA chairman, watched the youngsters being coached by the tennis legend, who had reportedly made the third trip to the city and took clinic for the CLTA. Feeling that not enough could be imparted by way of training in such a short time, he announced to the youngsters to have another session with them in the morning tomorrow before flying back to Delhi from where he is to go back to Chennai where he runs a tennis academy having 11 tennis courts. Later talking to TNS,
Ramesh agreed that there was tremendous tennis potential
in Chandigarh and that the CLTA was doing everything to
harness that potential. |
Delhi boys steal the show SHILON BAGH (HP) Oct 11 — Delhi boys stole the show at the Raid de Himalaya as they grabbed the first three positions. Sanjay Sikand emerged as the overall winner of the Raid de Himalaya, it was announced here today. He has also been placed first in the 1000 cc category. The overall second position goes to Raj Kapoor, who is also first in the 1300 cc category. The third position has been bagged by Dharam Pal Sharma who was also second in the 1300 cc category. Among the bikers Suhrid Sharma is the overall champion followed by Bittoo Sondhi and Amar Dev. In category D, Surhid Sharma came first followed by Nitin Malhotra and Dharminder Negi in third position. In category C, Bittoo Sondhi came first, followed by Amar Dev and Rakesh Blokhra. The four-day Raid de Himalaya had concluded on Sunday with the participants racing through the lush green, heavily forested terrain that was in direct contrast to the stark moonscape of yesterday and the day before. It was this terrain that threw in all kinds of surprises; leaders became laggards. The tough ride up the Jalori Pass that the contestants had faced on Friday presented an even more daunting face on Sunday and weighed on their minds as they started the competitive stage from Ghyagi and crossed the daunting Jalori Pass on their way to Ani. From there to Kingal was a transport stage, followed by the final competitive section from Kingal to Basantpur. Day 4 was the day of the Gypsys. They managed to roll through where others fumbled. The terrain took its toll on the Esteems and two leaders of Saturday’s event Satkiran Hara and B.S. Pruthvi, both slipped from their position due to mechanical problem. Nivit Bhasin, the youngest rally driver in the country also finished in an Esteem. In four days, Raid de Himalaya had covered a distance of 1,300 km of very difficult mountainous terrain, varied road conditions and extremes of weather. Men and machines had been tested to the limit, in an event that combined the high tech of GPS navigational systems with the pure adrenaline-pumping thrills. By now the residents of the area the vehicles were racing through had become veterans since they had seen leg 1 on day 1 of the Raid. They had strategically placed themselves at vantage points along the route of the Raid, dressed in their Sunday best. Though intensely competitive, the sport fosters a camaraderie that has become legendary. The first person on Sunday was Sanjay Sikand, in a Gypsy. He was followed by Raj Kapoor and Dharam Pal Sharma. The women’s team comprising Mona Desai and Rajni Nagu put up a commendable performance. They are taking home the Coupe de Dames Trophy after coming 12th in the overall ratings. The prizes were given
away today at a ceremony at Shilon Resorts by the Chief
Minister of Himachal Pradesh, Mr Prem Kumar Dhumal, who
congratulated the competitors. |

Asia accepts FIFA offer KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 11 (AFP) — Asian football officials yesterday accepted FIFA’s offer for four berths in the 2002 World Cup and a playoff with Europe for a chance at another. With the acceptance, the boycott threat by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to demonstrate Asian dissatisfaction with the allocation of World Cup spots has been resolved. Mr Peter Velappan, AFC general-secretary said it accepted FIFA’s two-plus-two-and a half seat offer with a measure of “disappointment.” “We accept it but we are disappointed,”Mr Velappan told reporters after the executive committee meeting here. AFC had demanded an extra berth outright. FIFA had initially offered Asia two automatic spots — one each for joint hosts South Korea and Japan — and another two qualifying berths. AFC protested the allocation and threatened a boycott of the qualifying rounds if the continent was not given an extra berth. In response, FIFA offered Asia a half berth that required the continent’s third qualifier to playoff with Europe’s 13th on a home-and-away basis. With the threatened
boycott resolved, Mr Velappan said at least 40 Asian
countries would participate in the qualifying rounds. |
