Ganguly left clueless after defeat Durban, October 27 “We have to find some solution (to the continued bad performance in final matches). At present I don’t know what it is,” Ganguly said last night after India crashed to a six-wicket defeat to South Africa in the final of the triangular one-day series. “We have lost six (finals) in one year. That’s quite a few. We have got to do something about it. We have got to play better cricket,” he said. Ganguly admitted the total of 183 that his team put on board was not enough but also moaned the missed chances. “The total wasn’t enough... But we didn’t take the early catches. We got a few early chances.” India’s middle order batsmen failed to rise to the occasion after Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar were dismissed early yesterday. The captain said the middle order needed to play more responsibly as he reflected on the failures of Yuvraj Singh and VVS Laxman. “They have got to handle the pressure. They have done that before. Its just not happening in the final matches.” Ganguly also said he was surprised to find the wicket at Kingsmead being so sluggish when the Indians batted. “In my experience, it was the slowest Kingsmead pitch I have ever played on. If I had won the toss, I would have still batted on this pitch.” However, Ganguly was optimistic about the forthcoming Test series against South Africa. “Test cricket is a different ball game and we hope to do better there... Rahul (Dravid), Sachin, and myself are in good form, the spinners have bowled quite well, the seamers have done good in patches....” The medium-pacers have bowled well in patches. With the inclusion of Ashish Nehra and Zaheer Khan, we would be back in business. “I am particularly hopeful on Nehra and Khan since both are left-arm pacemen and South Africa hasn’t played left-arm medium-pacers much in recent past,” Ganguly said. Coach John Wright also admitted that finals have become a hurdle for the players. “I am sure once it starts (winning), once we cross that hurdle, there would be many more to come,” said Wright. “In some respect, you don’t want this must-win situation. What the players should be looking at is that they are playing four games against an opponent and they at best must make the score read 2-2 and not think about the finals.” “If you look from the players perspective, it builds a certain pressure. I would be dishonest if I say the players haven’t been feeling the pressure,” Wright added. “At the moment, it might take a couple of inspirational performances to turn the tide, maybe a big hundred and a brilliant spell of bowling. “At the end of it, I think we were 60 runs too short and then we didn’t pick early wickets and take our chances,” Wright summed it up. South African captain Shaun Pollock said his team’s game plan had paid off. “Our guys played quite well. We knew we obviously have to try and take wickets upfront and our guys managed to do that. We wanted to put some pressure on the (Indian) middle order. That was our plan.” “With their openers being in rich form, there wasn’t much work for the middle order. “We played good cricket throughout the series. The only game we had a bit of hiccup was in Centurion Park (losing to India). We should have probably got that 240 but our batters didn’t do too well that night,” Pollock said. He said his team was already looking forward to the Test series which start on November 3. “Obviously there has to be a change of mindset for the Tests. But that is international cricket all about. We know how to adapt to that and we are looking forward to it,” he said adding it would be foolish to underestimate the Indians. “In the Test matches, Ganguly and Tendulkar would move down the order and with Rahul and Laxman, they have the making of a good batting side.”

‘Either perform or get out’ Chandigarh, October 27 True, the early loss of skipper Saurav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar did have an effect on the Indian batting but then the later batsman, barring of course the ever dependable Rahul
Dravid, did not exhibit the tenacity needed to tackle the all conquering South African bowlers, who, as usual, were backed by some superlative fielding. Virendra Sehwag and Reetinder Sodhi did raise hopes of a fightback but even their brief efforts proved to be of no use. And with a total of 183 to defend what could the Indian bowlers do? It seemed that the Indians had not prepared any effective game-plan. That the Indian camp was pessimistic of the outcome of the match even before a single delivery in the final had been sent down is apparent from the fact that the team management opted to ‘‘rest’’ regular wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta and instead asked Dravid to wear the gloves. This does not speak of high cricketing sense. Was this step taken by cricket coach John Wright or was the move initiated by
Ganguly? Deep is just cutting his teeth in international cricket and by dropping him in crucial encounters can do immense harm to his confidence. And in any case the additional batsman that India played in the match proved to be of little consequence. But the one question which comes to mind immediately is: is the money the Board of Control for Cricket in India
(BCCI) spending on the services of coach John Wright worthwhile? Have the Indian players been able to improve their game, or their game-plan, by a couple of notches after Wright replaced the Indian coaches the team used to have? The players, specially the skipper himself, was all praise of Wright when he took over as the Indian coach but it now seems that the sheen associated with the ‘‘imported’’ coach is slowing fading. Mr Jagmohan
Dalmiya, the new President of the BCCI, and his new team of office bearers must give some thought to the huge expenses being incurred by the board on retaining the services of Wright. Maybe, there is nothing wrong in the methods being employed by the New Zealander in the coaching of the Indian team. But the fact remains that the Indian team is still continuing in its old ways. But the final blame for India’s defeat, no matter who the opposition is, must lie on the doors of the coach. It is time that the board fixed a certain time-frame for the coach to deliver failing which the board must look around for somebody else. There is no use spending so much money, and that too in foreign exchange, if the team does not improve its performance and fails in tournament after tournament. In any case the question of the huge amount being paid to the coach was raised at the last annual general body meeting of the board. The justification was then given by the outgoing team headed by Dr
A.C. Muthiah but knowing Mr Dalmiya it would be prudent to say that the coach might be told to ‘‘either perform or get out’’ sooner than later. |

Nicky Boje, Hayward in Test squad
Durban, October 27 Left-arm spinner Boje last played a Test against the West Indies in Antigua in April this year before being sidelined with knee and shoulder injuries. Fast bowler Hayward played his last Test against Sri Lanka in Colombo in August last year and has been included in place of veteran Allan Donald, who is out with a strained stomach muscle. Boje has won his place back at the expense of left-arm spinner Claude Henderson, who played in both Tests In Zimbabwe in September. Also out from that squad is fast bowler Andre Nel. Uncapped swing bowler Charl Langeveldt was named in the squad but seems set to be named 12th man. The test, the first of three, starts next Saturday. The South African A squad to play a four-day tour match against India in East London from November 10-13 was also named. South Africa: Shaun Pollock (captain), Nicky Boje, Mark Boucher, Boeta Dippenaar, Herschelle Gibbs, Mornantau Hayward, Jacques Kallis, Gary Kirsten, Lance Klusener, Charl Langeveldt, Neil Mckenzie, Makhaya Ntini. South Africa A: H.D. Ackerman (captain), Paul Adams, Gulam

Pak crumble against Lanka Sharjah, October 27 The emphatic win with 12 overs to spare was set up in the first session by the Sri Lankan bowlers, who shot out Pakistan for 176 in 46.2 overs on the dual-paced wicket at the Sharjah Cricket Ground. Fast bowler Dilhara Fernando ripped through the top-order with three quick wickets and skipper Sanath Jayasuriya chipped in with another three after Pakistan won the toss and elected to take first strike. Younis Youhanna (47) was the only Pakistani batsman to adjust to the barren wicket on which the ball tended to "stop" after pitching. The Sri Lankans too found runs hard to produce against the fearsome pace battery of Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar. Veteran Akram overcame the stifling heat and humidity to bowl a hostile opening spell of six overs in which he conceded just seven runs. Sri Lanka managed only 29 runs in the first 10 overs, before Shoaib struck the first blow in the 14th over when Jayasuriya drove uppishly to the covers where Shahid Afridi picked up a low catch. Marvan Atapattu joined hands with Gunawardena to add 78 for the second wicket, before he was dismissed by Abdur Razzaq for 21. Left-handed Gunawardena, however, shored up the innings, hitting 13 boundaries before falling to Shoaib in the 37th over with Sri Lanka needing only 16 more. Mahela Jayawardena remained unbeaten on 29 as Sri Lanka celebrated their second win in two days after beating Zimbabwe by 63 runs in yesterday’s opening match. Pakistan clash with Zimbabwe tomorrow. Each team plays the other twice in the league with the top two advancing to the final on November 4.

Davenport, Dokic in semifinals Linz (Austria), October 27 After easily winning the first set the American had a tougher time in the second, but did just enough after a tight tie-breaker to knock the sixth seed out of the championship. Number 1 seed Davenport has blitzed her way through several Germanic events this month, beating Belgian teenager Justine Henin to the WTA title in the German town of Filderstadt on October 14 and chalking up a hat-trick of Swiss victories by winning the $1.185-million WTA tournament in Zurich against Jelena Dokic of Yugoslavia. The third-seeded Yugoslav teenager wiped Alexandra Stevenson of the USA out in straight sets 6-3, 7-5.

Steffi Graf gives birth to son Berlin, October 27 The paper said the baby was born "without major complications" in a private clinic in Las Vegas in the early hours of Friday, weighing 2.6 kg and measuring just 50 cm. Bild said the couple had not yet decided on a name. Graf’s marketing agency in the German town of Mannheim was not immediately available for comment on the report. The couple were married last Monday in a private ceremony in Las Vegas. "We are so blessed to be married and starting this chapter of our lives," they said in a joint statement. "The privacy and intimacy of our ceremony was beautiful and reflective of all we value." Bild said a routine examination had shown that Graf (32) might give birth early and that was the reason why the couple had organised their wedding so quickly and secretively. Agassi, who has won seven Grand Slam singles titles and is second in the world rankings behind Brazil’s Gustavo Kuerten, has pulled out of next week’s Tennis Master Series in Paris because of his marriage to Graf, which he called "the greatest moment of my life".

Loss for international sports, gain for National Games Ludhiana, October 27 The inaugural Afro-Asian Games in New Delhi, the SAF Games in Islamabad, Champions Trophy hockey in Lahore and the Champions Challenge Hockey Tournaments, both for men and women in New Delhi, and the World Masters Doubles Tournament in Bangalore, which were to be held between November 1 and December 15 this year, may have deprived the National Games of the glamour they otherwise deserve. Fortunately for Punjab, the Afro-Asian and the SAF Games have been postponed and fresh dates are yet to be announced. The Champions Trophy, which has nothing to do with National Games as India did not qualify for it , has been rescheduled to be held in Holland from November 3. The postponement of the Champions Challenge Hockey Tournaments would ensure participation of top hockey players in the National Games. Though officially October 25 was the last date for confirming participation in the National Games, the organisers have taken a liberal attitude on the plea that it was the organising committee which had been postponing the Games originally scheduled for last year. Some members of the victorious junior World Cup hockey team and
badminton star Gopi Chand, will be the cynosure of all eyes during the Games. In fact, between November 19 and December 1, there is no other major sporting event taking place on the national scenario except for some cricket games. The major problem, however, is of training teams , especially women teams, for the coming National Games. The worst hit are handball and basketball. The zonal and inter-zonal inter-university meets of both handball and basketball will continue until the second week of November, thus giving states like Punjab little time to even select and train teams for the prestigious event. Punjab has a good track record in both basketball and handball. And the main strength of its teams in both the disciplines come from university girls. The Association of Indian Universities has expressed its inability to do anything in this regard, maintaining that it was the National Games organising committee which had changed dates frequently to upset the whole sports calendar. With just three weeks left for the start of the Games, only a few coaching camps have started at Ludhiana and other venues though coaching camps for basketball and handball teams for men are in progress at Ludhiana. One of the reasons given for not starting the final coaching camps has been the delay in release of financial grants. At one stage it was agreed that Rs 40 lakh would be released for the training of the state teams. For the final camps, Rs 20 lakh is to be released. Some of the outstanding sportsmen, including some athletes, have started training on their own for the Games. The Punjab Olympic Association has also to hold an important meeting where a number of decisions, including the composition of the state squad, nomination of Chef-de-Mission, other officials, the athlete to take the oath on behalf of the participants, the flag-bearer of the state team , name of the athlete to do the final lap with the torch and to light the Games flame are to be taken. The time is running out. A lot needs to be done as there is still a lot of wet paint around at most of the venues of the Games. |

SFI seeks change
in venue Ludhiana, October 27 According to highly placed sources in the SFI, it has asked the IOA and the Organising Committee for National Games (OCNG) that the venue of these events should be shifted from Patiala to Talkatora Swimming Pool, New Delhi. These events are to be held during the third and fourth week of November when the water would be quite cold. The sources said that F.I.N.A (international body in aquatics) has specified that water temperature should be between 25 to 28 degree centigrade during the competition and there is no such facility at Patiala. At Delhi pool facilities of a full-fledged heating system as well as the latest automatic timing system as was used in Sydney Olympics exist which could be put to proper use. The sources further informed that if the IOA and the OCNG do not agree to their proposal of holding swimming events at Delhi then they would withdraw from the National Games. It may be mentioned here that during the 1997 National Games, cycling events were held in Ludhiana at PAU velodrome as the track at Bangalore was not upto the mark. |

Vakil scores hat-trick Patiala, October 27 In the first match of the day, the UPSEB forwards had little difficulty in repeatedly splitting the rival defence.

Imran ul Haq made it 4-0 for his team when he deflected the ball home off a pass from full back Mohammad Sazed and minutes later left in Kashi Ram trapped a diagonal pass sent in from the right flank by Shamshad before unleashing a powerful carpet drive to make it a comfortable 5-0. Towards the fag end of the match, Vakil Ahmed was once again in the thick of things when he scored his fourth goal after receiving a good pass from the left wing before flicking the ball home to make it 6-0 for the UPSEB. In the second match, the MPSEB right in T.N. Yadav ripped open the defence with his solo run in the very first minute of the match and capped his effort with a fine goal scored off an acute angle. |
