Paes-Bhupathi keep hopes alive Winston-Salem (North Carolina), October 14
Fairly dominating a two-hour-thirty-five-minute battle, the Indian pair ensured they took the tie to the third day with a 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (8/6) victory over the second-ranked Americans. The USA had taken a 2-0 lead on the opening day with youngsters Andy Roddick and James Blake winning the singles against Harsh Mankad and Paes rather comfortably yesterday. However, the USA who were hoping to wrap up the tie with a 3-0 result in their favour, were in for a shock as world No. 4 Paes/Bhupathi combine dished out some high-quality tennis to make it 2-1. The Indians now have an arduous task ahead, that of winning the reverse singles, pitting Paes against Roddick in the first match and Mankad against Blake, later today if they are to make it to the 2002 World Group. Paes appeared confident after his form in the doubles saying, “He’s (Roddick) going to have to come up with the goods to beat me”. The American being a baseliner, Paes is likely to try and take control of the net. The match reached its zenith in the fourth set when the Americans broke Bhupathi who was serving for the match at 5-4. With Palmer and Paes holding their serves the set rolled into the tie-breaker at 6-6. The Indians won the first point in the tie-break on Johnson’s serve but Wimbledon champions Johnson and Palmer evened it out winning the third point on Bhupathi’s serve. Points went with serve till 5-5, when a forehand error by Bhupathi gave the USA a set point. But Bhupathi made amends immediately making a clean return when Palmer was serving for the fourth set on 6-5. Palmer again lost his serve and gave India their first match point on 7-6. A good first serve by Paes and a brilliant volley by Bhupathi clinched the match for India as the whole Indian bench leapt up in joy after 2 hours and 35 minutes of exhilarating tennis. Paes and Bhupathi started the match in style breaking Don Johnson, playing in his first Davis Cup, in the very first game. The 33-year-old Johnson began with a double fault and two sizzling backhand down the line winners by Bhupathi gave India two break points at 15-40. Though the Americans pulled back to duece twice, India converted the third break point to go 1-0 up. Games went with serve thereafter with Palmer and Paes holding their first service games to love as the Indians raced to a 3-1 lead. In the sixth game, Bhupathi faced a minor scare as USA went 15-30 up. But Bhupathi reeled off three straight points to take a 4-2 lead. Serving for the set on 5-4, Bhupathi overcame another comeback attempt by the American duo, who saved two set points to take the game to duece from 15-40 down. But the Indian kept his nerve and a trade-mark Paes volley gave India the first set in 33 minutes. The second set saw an immediate turnaround in fortunes with the Americans going after the Indians’ serve. The American pair started the third set in the same attacking mode and Bhupathi had to save five break points in the opening game before holding on. The Indians then broke Johnson’s serve for the second time in the match to go 2-0 up. The welcome break came after Paes set it up with yet another backhand return winner. Paes and Bhupathi then tightened their service games and surprised their opponents through out with quicksilver reflexes, high quality volleys and returns. No more service breaks and soon Bhupathi was serving for the third set at 5-3. The Indians quickly won three points to take three set points. Though an unforced error gave the Americans a consolation point, Bhupathi wasted no more time to take the set to go 2-1 up.

Kenya beaten by 9 wickets Kimberly (South Africa), October 14 The Kenyans showed a lot of character and promise as they raised a competitive 229 for seven in their allotted 50 overs after electing to bat but their bowlers were no match to the rampaging South African batsmen who coasted to the target in just 41.1 overs. All the three South African batsmen on display, Herschelle Gibbs, Boeta Dippenaar and Lance Klusener, toyed with a docile Kenyan attack and posted individual scores in excess of 70. However, unlike in their previous two matches, Kenyans did not concede a bonus point to their opposition. In fact, after the embarassing show against India on Friday, where they were skittled out for 90 before going down by 10 wickets, today’s performance should come as a morale booster for the Kenyans. Three of the Kenyan batsmen, captain Maurice Odumbe, who topscored with 60, Ravindu Shah and Thomas Odoyo, scored half-centuries and they paced their innings well. And though the total never looked threatening for the South Africans, the Kenyan bowlers could not put up a performance similar to their batsmen. Gibbs and Dippenaar, coming into the side in place of injured Gary Kirsten, started with a characteristic flourish. Gibbs was his usual attacking self and hit boundaries all over ground.

Das’s injury not serious Port Elizabeth (S. Africa), Oct 14 “I am okay...there’s nothing wrong with me,” said Das as he ironed out his technique against rising deliveries under the supervision of coach John Wright. Das said he was a bit concerned about reports reaching home which stated he had been seriously injured in India’s second game against South Africa at Centurion Park on Wednesday when he was hit on the head while fielding at forward short leg by a fierce pull from Shaun Pollock off Anil Kumble. “There was an X-ray done but the injury wasn’t serious,” said Das. Das said he was practising hard against short rising deliveries. “Though there is nothing wrong with my technique I think I could do with a bit of extra practice on the issue in the nets....The more you practice the better it gets”.

5-wkt haul by Sharandeep Nagpur, October 14 Having lost four wickets including that of their star batsman and captain V.V.S. Laxman and Hrishikesh Kanitkar for just 92, Dinesh Mongia and Ratra steadied the innings during the final session to remain unbeaten on 47 and 35, respectively. Baroda were earlier dismissed for 318 in the morning session. Ratra was dropped early when captain Connar Williams failed to take a low catch at midwicket of the bowling of Tushar Arothe. Ratra again survived in the final over of Valmick Buch when the ball fell in front of wicketkeeper Nayan Mongia. Dinesh Mongia struck five boundaries and a six in his total of 47, while Ratra crossed the ropes four times. The post lunch session saw Baroda gaining an upper hand as after being dismissed for 318 in their first innings they grabbed four Rest of India wickets for just 92. Laxman, who came at the fall of opener Akash Chopra’s (22) wicket, began with two fours of the bowling of Irfan Pathan (Jr). However, in trying to drive Buch, Laxman edged the ball to keeper Nayan Mongia who made no mistake. Opener Vinayak Mane was looking good, striking the ball sweetly before he was trapped leg before of the bowling of Umang Patel for 48. Baroda medium pacer Rakesh Patel contributed 44 runs to help the team cross the 300-run mark. Sharandeep Singh was the most successful bowler for the Rest of India taking five wickets.

Chinese run continues; Uzbeks lose Hong Kong, October 14 And Uzbekistan’s chances of claiming a valuable group runners-up spot in the Asian qualifying round for the 2002 World Cup took a huge blow as they threw away a two-goal lead to lose 2-4 to Oman in Muscat. The result virtually guarantees the UAE will finish second to China in group B. Tini Ruijs’ side now need only a point in their final match next week against the Omanis to move into the play-off against the second-placed side in Asia’s group A, either Iran or Saudi Arabia. The winner of that playoff will face the Republic of Ireland for a place at next year’s finals in South Korea and Japan. In Shenyang, another capacity crowd at Wulihe Stadium continued China’s week-long celebrations after they qualified for the first time for the World Cup finals by defeating Oman last week. Yugoslav coach Bora Milutinovic, who now has guided five teams to the World Cup finals, rested defenders Fan Zhiyi and Li Weifeng and played young reserves. “Today I’m very happy, the team played extremely well and we have won all of our home games and gave the fans some exciting matches,” said Milutinovic. “We had 10 good chances on goal and made three of them,” he said. Asked whether he would seek to extend his contract, the wily coach, who has also guided Mexico, Costa Rica, the USA and Nigeria to the World Cup finals, refused to answer. He reportedly has had offers from Mexico, Brazil and Yugoslavia to take over their World Cup campaigns. A Chinese sports official said on condition of anonymity, “As far as the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and the fans are concerned, we want him back, but it is mainly up to Milu himself.” China scored in the 11th minute when Qatari goalie Hussain Al Romaihi misplayed a well-placed Wu Chengying corner kick found the head of a diving Su Maozhen. From then on China was in control of the game as they pushed the ball forward and were rewarded time after time with a Sun Jihai header missing to the left of the goal mouth, while a Wu Chengying cross was flicked away by Al Romaihi from the foot of a charging Qu Bo at the last second. It didn’t take long for China to notch another goal with midfielder Ma Mingyu taking the ball down inside the left side of the box. The experienced midfielder waited patiently and centerd the ball to the youngster Qu, who scored his first goal for the national side in the 29th minute. In the second period with Wu Chengying’s long ball going just to the left of goal and Hao Haidong terrorising the Qatari defence and knocking the ball off the far post after dribbling into the six yard box from the left side. The veteran Hao scored himself in the 57th minute after taking a great midfield pass from Qi Hong, beating the offside trap knocking the ball over the outstretched Qatari goalkeeper.

Rusty Tyson shatters Nielsen’s hopes Copenhagen, October 14
Tyson, fighting for the first time in a year, dominated his blubbery opponent through six brutal rounds but was unable to deliver one of his trademark knockout finishes. Nielsen’s corner stopped their man from coming out for the seventh round saying he was unable to see out of a horribly swollen left eye and Tyson improved his ring record to 49-3 with two no contests. “I gave it my best shot,” said a shattered Nielsen, who had confounded expectations by lasting into the second half of the 10-round non-title bout. “I’m sorry I couldn’t do better for the fans but I hope I earned some respect. I think people will respect now,” the flabby 36-year-old added. Nielsen said he had been unable to see out of one eye from the fifth round onwards. “I just couldn’t see him out of my left eye. It was crazy, I think it was the right decision for me to stop,” he explained. Tyson said he had been hoping for a knockout. “I wanted to finish in style but what can I say — he fought a brave fight and just wouldn’t go over. I hit him with some great shots but he just kept coming back, respect to the man,” said Tyson. Tyson, who had been hoping to use the fight as a spring board into a world title fight against either Lennox Lewis or Hasim Rahman next year, admitted he might now have to have a rethink. “I came here for an easy fight. He really surprised me how tough he was. I felt kinda rusty in there,” Tyson said, adding that he would seek at least two more fights before attempting a world title bout. “I need another two fights. If the world title shot happens somewhere down the road then fine, but for now I’m just thinking of getting two more fights under my belt,” he added. Earlier Tyson had begun the fight ferociously, shrugging off the boos and catcalls of a fiercely partisan 25,000 crowd at the Parken Stadium. Nielsen had entered the ring to the tune of Monty Python’s ‘Always look on the bright side of life’ from the film life of Brian. That anthem to optimism was to prove entirely misplaced however. Tyson, entering to booming rap music, was to give his opponent no quarter. From the outset he pounded away at Nielsen’s body with a series of hooks, ripping through his opponents guard with vicious uppercuts. Several hooks whistled close to Nielsen’s jaw and missed. The 259-pound Nielsen, who had never been floored in 62 previous bouts, sought to use his superior bulk where possible to push down on Tyson, tying him up in clinches and roughing up the American whenever he came under pressure. The subsequent rounds followed an identical pattern, Tyson relentlessly hammering Nielsen with a selection of ripping two-handed flurries. Yet, Nielsen somehow managed to avoid taking a clean shot, smothering Tyson time and again. In round three Tyson finally got through his opponent’ defence, flooring the Dane with a crisp left hook. But an accidental low blow towards the end of the round saw Nielsen given time to recover and he came out refreshed for the fourth. It was only a stay of execution, however, as Tyson picked up the tempo again, going to work on Nielsen’s body with some impressive combinations. In round five Tyson turned the screw, snapping back Nielsen’s had repeatedly with some juddering uppercuts. In the sixth Tyson again went on the offensive, catching his opponent with a thunderous hook to the head.

61 Cavalry overcome Jindal
Steels Chandigarh, October 14 In a hard-fought final, the Cavalrymen defeated Jindal Steels 4-2. Earlier in an exhibition game, Punjab and Sind Bank nosed out a stiff challenge from Thunderbolt to win 4-3. Fatigue of playing for the third consecutive day notwithstanding, the Cavalrymen played to a strategic plan against their much fresher and youthful opponents on a playfield which had deteriorated as the tournament progressed. The Cavalrymen not only went for an early lead but maintained it throughout the game. The game, at times, turned rough and witnessed some umpiring disputes, including cancellation of a goal scored by Jindals after captain of 61 Cavalry, Lieut-Col JS (Pinka) Virk, raised objection. Earlier, a 60-yard penalty converted by Samir Suhag was disallowed but Jindals had the consolation when young Himmat Singh, who had an eventful game, scored. Himmat, in the third chukkar, fell off his mount but escaped with minor bruises. The initial deadlock was broken by the combine of Manoj Dewan and Ajay Ahlawat in the first chukkar itself. Jindals fought back and equalised through Himmat. At the end of the second chukkar Cavalrymen were in the lead . A direct shot at the goal by Pinka Virk of a 60-yard penalty, saw Manoj Dewan pouncing upon the ball after a defender tried to clear it. Samir Suhag, who was involved in one-to-one combats with Ajay Ahlawat, managed to bring Jindals at par in the third chukkar. But Ajay had the last laugh when he scored his team’s fourth goal, but not before Major Manoj Dewan had snatched the ball from Samir and hoisted his team’s third goal. In the fourth chukkar Samir managed to put the ball through to goal but the initial award of the goal was disputed by Pinka Virk before the two umpires — Dr Pawandeep (Tony) Singh Kohli and Jai Shergill — upheld his protest. The Punjab Chief Minister, Mr Parkash Singh Badal, who inaugurated the final, also released a souvenir brought out by the Punjab Polo Association, and distributed the prizes. For Dr Kohli and Jai Shergill it was a day of double duty as they both played for Thunderbolt in the exhibition game. Angad Kalaam and Atul Gupta scored once each in the first two chukkars to put the bankmen ahead before Dhruvpal Godara reduced the margin and at one stage brought the two at par with two goals each. But the bankmen forged ahead through goals by Angad Kalaam and Vishal Singh. Shailendra Singh scored the third goal for Thunderbolt. In between there was an impressive display of tent pegging and trick riding by men from 61 Cavalry. The pipe bands of Punjab Police and Punjab Regiment were in attendance. |
