Abbasi

India embark on a rocky road to ODI renewal  NEW DELHI: Just 15 months ago,
Indian one-day cricket was riding a wave the size of big Pipe in Hawaii, having
brushed aside the challenge of Pakistan (4-1 away from home) and a feeble
England (5-1).   The batsmen were piling on the runs, the bowling was both
penetrative and tidy, while the fielding had been injected with a shot or two of
youthful vigour. Almost everyone was talking of them as challengers to
Australia's continued World Cup domination.   The sky, it appeared, was the
limit. But as soon as the team left the subcontinent, the hot air started to
leak out of the balloon. With the stand-and-deliver methods that worked so well
in familiar climes no longer an option, the batting frailties began to show.
Intelligent medium-pace bowling from the likes of Dwayne Bravo routed them in
the Caribbean, and there were no answers to the conundrum on the Malaysian
adventure either. On seam-friendly pitches, the Indian bowlers
  didn't do too badly, but the batsmen were cruelly exposed by Mitchell Johnson
and his ilk.   The Champions Trophy on home soil should have provided some
much-needed succour, but unseasonal weather conditions resulted in some pitches
that wouldn't have been out of place in the early part of the English summer.
Confronted by extravagant seam movement, some swing and occasional steepling
bounce, the Indian challenge petered out in a winner-take-all encounter against
Australia. No Asian team reached the last four, once again highlighting why most
of them struggle when the pendulum swings towards the quick bowlers.   But it
wasn't conditions alone that ruined India's campaign. There was a collective
meltdown, with the matchwinners of the previous season hapless bunnies in front
of high-powered floodlights. Yuvraj Singh, so pivotal in a sequence of 17
successful run-chases, could barely eke out a run, and he then wrenched his knee
to leave World Cup hopes in jeopardy.   Irfan
  Pathan, who had taken 49 wickets in 25 games in 2005-06, lost pace, his natural
swing and any semblance of rhythm. What remained of his confidence departed soon
after. The likes of Sreesanth and RP Singh couldn't string together two
consistent games, while Munaf Patel turned out to be almost as brittle as a
twig.   The underperformance bug also struck down Rahul Dravid, the captain,
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina, hailed as India's batting future just
months earlier. It didn't help them that the starts were disastrous, with
Virender Sehwag looking about as secure as a man with an umbrella in a typhoon.
The underperformance bug also struck down Rahul Dravid, the captain, Mahendra
Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina, hailed as India's batting future just months
earlier. It didn't help them that the starts were disastrous, with Virender
Sehwag looking about as secure as a man with an umbrella in a typhoon.  
Confidence was predictably low going to South Africa, and it
  plummeted further with a resounding series defeat. The bowlers, especially a
revitalised Zaheer Khan, provided glimpses of hope in every game, but a
combination of wayward slog-overs bowling and wretched batsmanship gift-wrapped
the hosts a 4-0 win.   The home series that followed were the equivalent of a
fresh lick of paint for a house that was caving in on itself. On featherbeds
where the bowlers were almost redundant, India regularly stockpiled mammoth
totals to see off West Indies and a Sri Lanka side that was missing Muttiah
Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas. The old firm of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav
Ganguly plundered runs in Sehwag's absence, and there were other strong showings
too in conditions as benign as a batsman could wish for.   The truth was soon
revealed, as a ramshackle outfit low on spirit, energy, skill and inventiveness
were taken apart by both Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the World Cup. After two
years of preparation, Vision 2007 had ended with a rude
  poke in the eye and a first-round exit. Defeat is not often well-digested in
the subcontinent, but this was defeat with dishonour and it went down really
badly.   There were changes for the one-day games in Bangladesh, and Piyush
Chawla hinted once again at a special talent to be nurtured. The likes of Dhoni
got back into the groove, while others like Harbhajan, his bowling as flat as
beer left in the sun, moved closer to the exit. With Sehwag also in purgatory,
and Pathan and Munaf both unfit, the new faces have a chance to make themselves
indispensable.   This though isn't the subcontinent. There will be few free runs
on offer against South Africa, or even England. The real test, and the first
step on the long road to redemption, starts here, far away from the brown, brown
pancakes of home.

Dhoni out of first ODI against Ireland


     NEW DELHI, June 23: Team India vice-captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will not
play in the first match against Ireland at Belfast, Ireland.

The wicketkeeper-batsman will be out of action in the first ODI due to illness.

Meanwhile, captain Rahul Dravid will be hoping his boys will get into the act
right away.

Following Virender Sehwag's exit from One-dayers, the team will have to choose
between Robin Uthappa, Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar to partner Gautam
Gambhir at the top of the order.

                     var RN = new String (Math.random());                  var

Redemption time, as Team India leaves for English tour

                           News


     NEW DELHI, June 19: The Indian cricket team will be looking to redeem itself
when it leaves for an 82-day tour to face South Africa in three One-dayers in
Ireland and England in three Tests and seven One-Day Internationals.

A new manager in former captain Chandu Borde and a comparatively young team with
Mahendra Singh Dhoni as new vice captain for the Ireland series, India will aim
to turn the wheel of fortune after the World Cup debacle.

India suffered a shocking first-round exit from the World Cup in the West Indies
after they lost to Sri Lanka and minnows Bangladesh in March, which also brought
an end to the controversial tenure of Greg Chappell as coach.

But post World Cup, India under a stopgap manager, Ravi Shastri, did well in
Bangladesh, winning both the Test and the One-day series despite rains.

The team can well take confidence from that performance but will need a lot more
to fight it out against South Africa and England.

And with the infusion of some young blood in the form of Piyush Chawla, Rohit
Sharma coupled with the experience of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav
Ganguly, the boys in blue have all the ammunition to take the fight to the
opposition.

The series will also be of special importance for Ganguly and Tendulkar, as they
were "rested" in the One-dayers against Bangladesh.

The Ireland matches start from Saturday with a One-day game against Ireland,
followed by three One-dayers against South Africa (June 26, 29 and July 1). The
focus will then shift to England where India will face the hosts in a three
match Test series starting from July 19.

England has been a happy hunting ground for Ganguly, right from the day he made
his Test debut at Lords with a century to the Natwest Trophy win at the same
venue under his leadership 2002.

Ganguly will be hoping to make the best of the opportunity, given his form after
he made his way back into the team last year.

India will also have a lively new-ball attack in Zaheer Khan, S. Sreesanth, Ajit
Agarkar and Rudra Pratap Singh.


Team for One-dayers in Ireland:

Rahul Dravid (captain), Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Gautam
Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa, Mahendra Singh Dhoni
(wicket-keeper/vice-captain), Rohit Sharma, Piyush Chawla, Ramesh Powar, Ajit
Agarkar, Zaheer Khan, S. Sreesanth and Rudra Pratap Singh.

Team for Tests in England:

Rahul Dravid (captain), Sachin Tendulkar (vice-captain), Sourav Ganguly, Wasim
Jaffer, VVS Laxman, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Dinesh Karthik, Mahendra Singh
Dhoni (wicket-keeper), Zaheer Khan, S Sreesanth, Rudra Pratap Singh, Anil
Kumble, Ramesh Powar, Ishant Sharma and Ranadeb Bose.

Dravid confident ahead of Eng series



   India skipper Rahul Dravid on Sunday said his team is confident of winning the
upcoming first series in England in 20 years.

"If there is any tour that you want to take a compliment of young bowlers, it is
probably this one," Dravid said as the team ended its three-day training session
at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore.

"There are at least some practice games for them to get an opportunity and to
learn in conditions that might help them."

"Most of our bowlers are seam and swing bowlers and there might be situations in
England when this might help us," Dravid said.

The appointment of Chandu Borde as a cricket manager, Dravid can focus on
leading his team in the challenging summer conditions of Ireland and England
this summer - something his inexperienced pace battery is not used to.

"I am sure this is a short term arrangement but I am sure they will be looking
to fulfil the role. whatever you may like to call it, over a longer period of
time," Dravid said.

Taking the burden off Dravid's shoulders in the one dayers would be his new
deputy MS Dhoni. He has been rewarded for his consistent performance and is
looking foward to the new role.

"Definitely, you get more responsible when given such a responsibility. I am
excited on becoming the vice captain and will try my best," Dhoni said.

Dhoni vice-captain for ODIs; Sehwag, Harbhajan ignored

           Wednesday, June 13, 2007 10:48:39 IST    Dhoni is a thinking
cricketer, who has done extremely well...





   NEW DELHI (PTI): Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and an injured Munaf Patel
were today axed from both the ODI and Test squads for the upcoming tour of
Ireland and England, while M S Dhoni was appointed vice captain for the one
dayers.
Veterans Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, who were rested for the one-day
series in Bangladesh last month, were included in the 15-member ODI squad.
Chairman of the Selectors Dilip Vengsarkar defended Dhoni’s elevation and said,
“he is a thinking cricketer, who has done extremely well. We wanted to promote
him and so decided to appoint him the vice captain for the series.” Tendulkar
was retained as vice captain in the Test squad that is to
visit England for three Tests and seven ODIs. “Tendulkar has vast experience in
both forms of
the game and that’s why we decided to retain him in the job,” Vengsarkar said.
The team for the seven ODIs against England would be announced later. Ajit
Agarkar got a ODI recall replacing injured Munaf Patel. “Munaf is not 100 per
cent fit and that’s why he missed out,” Vengsarkar said. He, however, assured
that Zaheer Khan had regained his fitness and would be in both the squads.
Mumbai batsman Rohit Sharma is the lone new face in the squad. Meanwhile, Bengal
pacer Ranadeb Bose replaced VRV Singh in the squad for the three-match Test
series against England, while Delhi pacer Ishant Sharma retaied his place.
On dropping Sehwag and ignoring Harbhajan, Vengsarkar said it was not the end of
all roads for the duo. “There is lot of domestic cricket and Sehwag can
definitely make a comeback if he does well. I would say the same thing about
Harbhajan. He has got all the chances to come back to the side.”
He said Dinesh Kaarthick’s inclusion was an ideal choice for the side in the
long tour as the youngster provided an extra option both as opener and
wicket-keeper. Vengsarkar said Bose was rewarded with a berth for his impressive
form in domestic cricket last year when he emerged as the highest wicket-taker.
“Besides, conditions in England would be conducive to his bowling,” Vengsarkar
said. India will play three one dayers against South Africa in Ireland between
June 26-July 1, followed by a one-off ODI against Pakistan in Glasgow, Scotland
on July 3. They then move to England for a full series of three Test and seven
ODIs between July 19-Sept 8.

India's Wicket-Keeper Batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni Retains Fourth Place In
LG-ICC Player Rankings For ODI Batsmen  Despite his unbeaten 139 in the
Afro-Asia Cup final in Chennai, Indian wicket-keeper batsman Mahendra Singh
Dhoni remained in the fourth place in the latest LG-ICC player rankings for ODI
batsmen.
   Dhoni, who hit the highest-ever ODI score by a number seven batsman in
Chennai, now trails third-placed Michael Hussey of Australia by 10 rating
points.
   England's Kevin Pietersen still occupies top batting spot with Australia
captain Ricky Ponting in second place.
   Sri Lanka opening batsman Sanath Jayasuriya's slide in the rankings since the
ICC cricket World Cup continues as he has dropped six places and is now ranked
13th overall.
   Jayasuriya's loss means Australia's Andrew Symonds has moved into the top 10.
   South Africa's Shaun Pollock has achieved his highest career batting rating
following his maiden ODI century in the Afro-Asian cup played in Bangalore and
Chennai last week.
   Pollock moves up 12 places and is now in 40th spot in the LG ICC player
rankings for ODI batsmen after a brilliant 130 off 110 balls in Bangalore.
   Pollock, who played in the series as a specialist batsman following minor foot
surgery, continues to lead the LG ICC player rankings for ODI bowlers as the top
14 places in that category remains unchanged.
   Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh, who took four wickets in two matches, drops
two places and he's now ranked 15th overall.
   Pollock leads team-mate Jacques Kallis in the LG ICC player rankings for ODI
all-rounders table while West Indies' Chris Gayle is in third place.

Police assess ‘new material’ in Woolmer case

   (Reuters)

8 June 2007

   KINGSTON (Jamaica) — A Press conference is to be called once officers have
assessed ‘new material’ that has emerged in the investigation surrounding the
death of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, Jamaican police said on Wednesday.     
Commissioner Lucius Thomas said police would be addressing the matter “within
days”.
    “We are in receipt of new material and a Press conference will be called
shortly on the Bob Woolmer issue,” Thomas told reporters.
    Thomas offered no comment to claims in a British newspaper that a pathologist
attached to London’s Scotland Yard had submitted in her report that Woolmer had
died of natural causes.
    The Daily Mail report also said Jamaican police would be calling a news
conference soon to state Woolmer had not been murdered.
    “I am not yet in receipt of all the reports from Scotland Yard, so I cannot
comment on certain things at this time,” Thomas said.
    It was the first time in weeks that Thomas had commented on the Woolmer case,
as the matter is usually dealt with by the case’s lead investigator, deputy
commissioner Mark Shields.
    The force’s director of communications Karl Angell said on Sunday that police
had no intention of calling a news conference to announce that Woolmer had died
of natural causes.
    Woolmer, 58, was found unconscious in his Kingston hotel room on March 18,
following his team’s humiliating loss to Ireland in a World Cup match the
previous day. He was pronounced dead at hospital shortly after.
    An autopsy report at first proved inconclusive, but police said that they had
enough information to rule that the former England Test batsman was murdered.
    A team of detectives from Pakistan, who came to Jamaica to assist local
police with the investigation, told the media in their homeland there was no
evidence to support a claim that Woolmer died of asphyxiation due to manual
strangulation, as the pathologist’s report stated.
    Since then, speculation has been rife that Jamaican police erred in their
determination of Woolmer’s death.

India Wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Security Type Yet To Get Final
Approval  Submitted by Rohit Bhandiye on Fri, 2007-06-08 05:44.
     Jharkhand government has reviewed the level of security for India
wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who reportedly faced naxal threat.
   "A security review meeting was held and Dhoni was one of the several VVIPS
whose security had been reviewed," said a senior police officer.
   Asked whether the meeting decided to provide the reported 'Y' category to the
star cricketer, the officer said it was the home department to give the final
approval.
   "Till now the final signature on the minute detail is awaited," he said.
   Security for the stylish stumper gained momentum after a section of media
recently reported that the cricketer faced naxal threat.
   When Dhoni returned for a brief home visit on June 3 he was escorted by
gun-wielding state police personnel from the Birsa Munda airport to escort him
to his house.
