A round-up of the fifth round of Ranji Trophy’s Group B matches on December 8, 2012

ESPNcricinfo staff08-Dec-2012
Scorecard
Baroda left-arm spinner Bhargav Bhatt took six wickets to run through Odisha’s middle order on the first day in Vadodara. Odisha’s Govind Podder made a battling 82 but he had very little support from the rest of the batsmen, with five of the top seven making single-digit scores. Around lunch time, Odisha were at a reasonably comfortable 82 for 2, before a Bhatt double-strike, including the wicket of the in-form Biplab Samantary, pulled them back. Bhatt struck twice in an over soon after leaving Odisha at 105 for 6, and it took a brisk unbeaten 37 from the No. 9 Saurabh Sehgal to take the score to 181. Baroda lost the wicket of opener Saurabh Wakaskar as they reached 34 for 1 by stumps.
Scorecard
Suresh Raina fluffed another chance to press for a place in the Test middle order by falling for 8, but Uttar Pradesh still finished the day on a solid 248 for 4 thanks to a long partnership between Mohammad Kaif and opener Mukul Dagar. Vidarbha removed Tanmay Srivastava in the third over, before Kaif and Dagar put on 195 patient runs for the second wicket. Dagar went on to complete his third century in five matches, while for the third time this Ranji season Kaif failed to reach his hundred despite crossing 80. Vidarbha got some respite towards the end of the day as Sandeep Singh removed both Kaif and Raina, before Shrikant Wagh had Dagar bowled for 116.
Scorecard
Haryana’s batting has been notoriously fragile this season, and they seemed headed for another low total after slipping to 63 for 4 against Maharashtra, but substantial contributions from the lower-middle order lifted them to a middling score. Opener Rahul Dewan was the only one in the top order to resist as Maharashtra’s quicks struck several times early. Yatharth Tomar, playing only his second first-class match and his first since 2010, hit 48 to steady the innings before Amit Mishra, who made a crucial half-century in their win over Delhi earlier this week, chipped in with 35. The top scorer of the innings was Jayant Yadav, with 63, his second first-class half-century.
Scorecard
On a pitch that resembled a lawn, with the only patches of white near the rough on either side, Karnataka captain Vinay Kumar chose to give his batsmen first use of the pitch, despite their batting struggles all season. While it might be perceived as a brave decision, it backfired on the hosts. Karnataka were still searching for their first outright win, and they were presented with what looked like a result-oriented wicket. Delhi weren’t complaining though. Their seamers, led by Parvinder Awana, bundled out the hosts for 192 and ended the day in front despite losing two wickets as the shadows lengthened in Bangalore. A full match report is here.

Chamara Kapugedera’s inability to fully grab his many international opportunities is frustrating for the Sri Lankan hierarchy

Abhishek Purohit in Pallekele06-Aug-2012

Sri Lanka cannot seem to make up their mind about Chamara Kapugedera. His 92 ODIs have been spread over six and a half years for a disappointing average of 22.04. He has batted all the way from No. 2 to No. 9. He has gone out of the squad many times, and has made his way back again. Mahela Jayawardene spoke for almost ten minutes on Kapugedera on Monday, but the debate still remained open.Jayawardene conceded Kapugedera had not made the most of his chances, but felt that the opportunities had not been consistent. He said Kapugedera was committed and focused during practice, but admitted he struggled to handle the pressure in a game. Jayawardene hinted that time could run out for Kapugedera eventually, but asked for some more patience given that he was still only 25.”It is frustrating,” Jayawardene said of Kapugedera’s struggles. “If you see the way he bats at nets, and the way Isuru Udana bowls at nets, it’s totally different, and we give them an opportunity. I don’t know whether it’s the occasion, whether they can’t handle pressure, [but] it does not come good for them. If they cannot handle the pressure then we have to move on and give that opportunity to someone else.”But what we see at the nets, the commitment and the attitude we feel that there is something that could spark these guys. We have had players like Marvan [Atapattu] who didn’t have a great start, but people gave him opportunities and he reacted to that. Obviously if they are not performing and others come and grab hold of their chances then they will get more opportunity than guys like Chamara.”Jayawardene said Kapugedera was not being able to carry his focus in the nets to the middle and said that was something for coaches to work on. “He is still young and if he can turn a corner it’d be good. In the last World Twenty20 he was awesome for us in the Caribbean batting at No. 6 [Kapugedera made 95 runs in six games at a strike-rate of 121.79]. The talent is there, but the execution is not there and we have to identify how we can trigger that. We have to be patient. If he is struggling [then] giving him a break, obviously see if there are any other players, but if he is good we have to try him.”Jayawardene said Sri Lanka had limited resources and were looking to give chances to young players. “If you see a player like Nuwan Pradeep wasn’t bowling well six months ago, but we kept him in the squad and today he is doing well.”We try to do justice to all players. We can’t throw out simply because players fail in few games. They are all young players and we need to be patient.”Jayawardene said it was the selectors’ call on whether or not to persist with Kapugedera but added that opportunities had to be capitalised on. “He has not made most of the opportunities, but the opportunities have been far and few. Not consistent. But obviously if someone is fighting for a spot, whatever the opportunity you have to grab it. It’s tough, it’s under pressure, it’s not easy, but we will see how it goes.”

Even if they were to win Friday night’s jackpot on the Euromillions lottery, it is doubtful whether Kent could buy a championship win just now.

Mark Pennell at Canterbury09-Aug-2012
ScorecardEven if they were to win Friday night’s jackpot on the Euromillions lottery, it is doubtful whether Kent could buy a championship win just now.Having allowed Hampshire to claim a surprise draw at the Ageas Bowl a fortnight ago, Kent then slid to a shock two-wicket defeat at Derby having, in their eyes at least, dominated all but two sessions of the match.Then just when it appeared Rob Key’s side’s fortunes were changing for the better, Essex’s skipper James Foster inspired a comeback that could yet leave Kent on the wrong end of another result on Kentish soil.All had looked rosy in the Garden of England an hour into the second day, Ladies Day at Canterbury Week. Essex had slumped to 23 for 4, Kent’s seamers Charlie Shreck and Matt Coles were at times unplayable as they hooped the new ball under steamy, overcast skies and even the Shepherd Neame bitter tasted like nectar.In reply to Kent’s first day total of 226, Essex had lost opener Jaik Mickleburgh to a good tumbling catch behind the stumps off Shreck, then Tom Westley, leg before to a Coles in-ducker. Owais Shah hooked his second ball from Coles over the ropes at mid-wicket, but Coles had his revenge by having Shah caught at slip without addition.Mark Pettini was squared up by a Shreck snorter, an away-swinger which pitched on middle and clipped the top of off. When Ryan ten Doeschate chased a wide one from Stevens on the cusp of lunch to make it 76 for 5, Kent scented a useful first innings lead. How wrong they were.James Foster emerged to play an inspiring, game-changing, backs-to-the-wall knock that quite simply knocked the stuffing out of Kent.In relatively high temperatures for this summer, around 24C, and in high humidity Foster dogged it out for four and three-quarter hours, facing 226 balls for a modest return of five boundaries as Kent ran out of ideas to dislodge him.In tandem with Adam Wheater, Foster helped add 126 in 33.2 overs for the sixth wicket. Every run was hard-earned, yet fully deserved.Foster’s tenacity allowed Wheater to play with more freedom and his eye-catching innings of 82 included a dozen crisply-timed boundaries, many of them aerial. Wheater undid much of his good work just before tea when a reckless, pre-empted reverse sweep against spinner Adam Riley led to his demise leg before.It was no matter to Foster though. He teamed up with Graham Napier after the interval to add another precious 52 runs before Kent finally enjoyed further success with the second new ball.Foster nicked a Darren Stevens away-swinger to slip to go for 76 then Napier followed soon after, pocketed by Geraint Jones off the wily Charlie Shreck, whose next ball removed David Masters to a catch in the cordon. Although Maurice Chambers survived the hat-trick delivery, Shreck dismissed him at slip two overs later to finish with a creditable 5-51, his second five-for since moving from Nottinghamshire.Bouyed by their surprise 47-run lead, Essex set about reducing the Kent faithful to a whimpering wrecks by stumps as they prized out three batsmen within 21 balls.Key, though he clearly disagreed, was given caught behind down the leg-side when attempting to glance at Napier, the nightwatchman Riley had his stumps rearranged by Chambers then Harbhajan Singh out-foxed Sam Northeast to win a leg before appeal to the last ball of the day.Now, about those lottery numbers!

Sem vencer fora de casa no Campeonato Brasileiro, a um ponto da zona de rebaixamento e com derrotas nos últimos três jogos com o comando do técnico Alberto Valentim, o Vasco está procurando de onde tirar forças para se recuperar e salvar o fim de temporada. Após perder para o América-MG, na noite desta quinta-feira, em Minas Gerais, o meia Wagner avaliou a fase cruz-maltina e afirmou não saber de onde tirar forças para mudar o cenário.

– Difícil falar nessa hora. Estamos tentando, batalhando, correndo. Vamos ter que achar forças não sei de onde para reverter. Vamos botar a cabeça no lugar porque temos o Vitória pela frente. Conseguimos ter mais volume de jogo, chegamos bem mais ao ataque. Temos que melhorar nossa marcação, tanto na frente quanto no meio. Quando ficarmos mais consistentes vamos parar de tomar gols – afirmou o meia na saída de campo.

Os jogadores do Vasco viajam nesta sexta-feira de Minas Gerais para a Bahia. Em solo baiano, o elenco cruz-maltino realiza treinamentos na própria sexta e no sábado. No domingo, enfrentam o Vitória em mais uma rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O retorno ao Rio de Janeiro acontecerá somente na segunda-feira.

RP Singh, the India fast bowler, has been ruled out of the A tour to the West Indies next month after injuring his right knee

ESPNcricinfo staff26-May-2012

RP Singh, the India fast bowler, has been ruled out of the A tour to the West Indies next month after injuring his right knee. He has been replaced by the Delhi right-arm seamer Parvinder Awana, who was impressive for Kings XI Punjab during the current edition of the IPL.RP, who last played for India during the tour of England in 2011, took ten wickets in 11 games for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Awana impressed with his pace and control, leading Kings XI wicket charts with 17 wickets in 11 games, with a best of 4 for 34. He has claimed 110 first-class wickets from 32 matches in his career at an average of just under 30. He was expecting a call-up to the A squad when it was announced last month, but took the disappointment in his stride.Awana said he was happy his recent performances were being recognised.”I am very happy. All the hard work that I have put in and the wickets I have taken has come good today,” Awana told ESPNcricinfo. “I would credit both the IPL and first-class cricket. The IPL got me noticed and all my first-class experience helped me do well in the IPL.”India A play three four-day matches, three one-day matches and two Twenty20s on the tour, which begins in Barbados on June 2.

Na Série B, no último sábado, o Goiás bateu o líder Fortaleza por 3 a 1, no Olímpico de Goiânia. O resultado foi muito comemorado pelos esmeraldinos, mas, passados dois dias da partida, o volante Gilberto Jr. prega foco nos próximos desafios. Já nesta terça, o time vai encarar o Guarani, fora de casa.

– A humildade e o foco precisam estar sempre presentes em nosso grupo, ainda temos quatorze rodadas pela frente, são 42 pontos em disputa, ou seja, o objetivo ainda não foi alcançado. É claro que a gente fica feliz com uma vitória tão importante contra uma forte equipe como o Fortaleza, mas após as comemorações, foco, pois a competição continua – enfatiza Gilberto.

Gilberto conquistou seu espaço no time logo que chegou no Goiás, em abril, e tem 19 partidas na atual Série B – em 24 jogos do Goiás na competição. O começo do clube na Série B foi complicado, mas agora a equipe ocupa a terceira colocação – estando dentro do G4 que dará acesso ao Brasileirão-2019.

– Repito que não é irresponsabilidade pensarmos no acesso, não existe jogo fácil, nem time de vitória garantida. Todas as equipes entram na competição com um mesmo objetivo, ninguém entra em campo para perder, mas futebol é feito de resultados e nós queremos, além deles, mostrar nossa competência e dedicação, pois o grupo está muito unido em busca do nosso objetivo – finaliza.

O Guarani, rival desta terça-feira, encontra-se na quinta posição, a apenas dois pontos atrás do Goiás. O jogo acontece no Estádio Brinco de Ouro, às 19h15.

The ICC is to review the playing condition regarding lbw decisions in international cricket in response to the emergence of the switch hit

George Dobell09-May-2012

The ICC is to review the playing condition regarding lbw decisions in international cricket in response to the emergence of the switch hit.ESPNcricinfo understands that the ICC cricket committee, a group that includes Ian Bishop, Kumar Sangakkara and Mark Taylor, is to consider amending the playing condition whereby a batsman attempting to play the shot cannot be given out lbw if the ball has pitched outside the leg stump.The news, first mentioned in passing in , will mean that any right-handed batsman who switches his stance or grip to effectively play as a left-hander, will be able to be given out even if the ball had pitched outside the leg stump and vice-versa. Bowlers will also be allowed more leeway as regards leg side wides in limited-overs cricket. The cricket committee meets in Dubai later this month.While any recommendations cannot come into force until they are ratified by the ICC board and the ICC’s chief executives’ committee, it is unlikely that the cricket committee’s proposals would be ignored. The decision will not affect the laws of the game, which are governed by the MCC, leading to the possibility that playing conditions in first-class cricket around the world will differ from playing conditions in the international game. It is up to each national board to determine whether to adopt the ICC’s playing conditions in their domestic cricket. While some boards – including those in Sri Lanka and South Africa – tend to default to the ICC stance, others – such as the ECB – are more independent minded. At present the major differences between ICC playing regulations and MCC laws concern the rules regarding the degree of flexion bowlers are allowed, the use of runners and decisions relating to the DRS.The MCC is also considering the repercussions of the more regular use of the switch hit stroke. Two members of the MCC’s laws subcommittee – Dave Richardson and John Stephenson – also sit on the ICC Cricket Committee.The switch hit first came to prominence in 2008 when Kevin Pietersen played it in an ODI against New Zealand in Durham. The same batsman was involved when matters came to a head in a Test in Sri Lanka recently when Tillakaratne Dilshan pulled out of his delivery stride on several occasions as Pietersen shaped to play the shot and the stand-off threatened to reach stalemate. The umpires, Asad Rauf and Bruce Oxenford, warned Pietersen for time-wasting, but the ICC is now looking for a more permanent solution.The ICC will be keen not to encourage negative bowling, however. The shot is sometimes played, even at Test level, to counter a leg stump line from right-hand bowlers coming round the wicket and many feel that the switch hit, a shot requiring high skill levels and remarkable reflexes, has been an entertaining addition to the game. It may also be that the ICC asks for some analysis as regards the risk-reward ratio of the shot and whether its usage really does disadvantage bowlers.Any amendment to the playing conditions is likely to prove torturously difficult to phrase. For a start, it could prove tough to define exactly what constitutes a switch hit – whether it involves a change of stance, a change of grip and when they take place. It is worth noting that the ICC, reacting to David Warner’s decision to remain in his normal left-handed stance but with a right-handed grip, issued a directive to umpires in February 2010 that stated such a tactic should be tolerated as long as it did not change once the bowler had begun their run up. As things stand the laws do not define what it means to bat left- or right-handed.Fraser Stewart, MCC’s Laws Manager, recently raised an interesting quandary. “What would happen,” Stewart asked, “if a batsman stood chest on to the bowler? If may sound a ludicrous suggestion now, but we have a generation of young cricketers growing up playing the switch hit and prepared to experiment with their stance and their grip. It may well happen.”

Na noite de sábado, a partir das 19h (Horário de Brasília), o Serra Dourada será palco de um dos confrontos mais interessantes da 24ª rodada da Série B. Ainda com o sonho de voltar a elite do futebol brasileiro, o Goiás recebe o Fortaleza, cada vez mais líder e perto do acesso.

Após 23 jogos, o Esmeraldino ocupa a sexta colocação, com 36 pontos, um a menos que o Guarani, último time do G4. Já o Leão tem uma situação mais confortável. Com 46 pontos, o Fortaleza abriu seis de vantagem em relação ao CSA, vice-líder e seu principal perseguidor.

Na última rodada, o Goiás foi derrotado pelo Vila Nova e bagunçou o ambiente da equipe. Com isso, a vitória se tornou fundamental para o time de Ney Franco dormir no G-4.

Para o duelo deste fim de semana, o Verdão terá uma mudança. Felipe Gedoz, criticado pela péssima atuação no clássico, perdeu espaço para Rafinha, que tem atuado com frequência nos últimos jogos após se recuperar de lesão.

Já o Fortaleza está embalado. Nos últimos cinco jogos, a equipe de Rogério Ceni venceu quatro e voltou a abrir vantagem na classificação. Assim como o adversário, o Leão tem problemas no time titular e Nenê Bonilha fica de fora por causa de lesão muscular.

Além do volante, o Fortaleza por ganhar mais um problema para o jogo. O atacante Marcinho passou por uma semana complicada devido ao desconforto muscular e caso não tenha condições de jogo, Ederson vai substituí-lo.

Prováveis Escalações:

Goiás: Marcos; Alex Silva, David Duarte, Vitor Ramos e Ernandes; Gilberto Júnior, Giovanni e Renato Cajá; Michael, Lucão e Rafinha. Técnico: Ney Franco.
