James Whitaker has resigned as general manager of Leicestershire County Cricket Club. The Skipton-born Whitaker spent more than 20 years at Grace Road and was captain when Leicestershire won the County Championship in 1996 and 1998.”It is perfectly amicable as far as I am concerned,” Whitaker said. “I’ve spent 21 lovely years at Leicestershire and it is now time for me to utilise my energies elsewhere and look at other options. I just want to give myself some fresh air and review where I am up to.”Leicestershire narrowly missed out on the National League title on the final day of last season, and also lost the 2001 C&G final to Somerset at Lord’s.They are currently mid-table in the top divisions of both the Frizzell County Championship and Norwich Union League.

Somerset get their first opportunity of practicing on grass when the players report back to the County Ground on Tuesday morning after the Easter break for the next phase of their pre season trainingIn preparation for the new season, which gets underway with a three day match against Cardiff UCCE at Millfield School at Street on Saturday April 13th, the Somerset players have spent the last two weeks concentrating upon their physical fitness, and team building activities.Over the next fortnight however the focus of attention of the lead into the new season will switch to the player’s technical ability.This year’s beneficiary Rob Turner told me: "I’m looking forward to the next two weeks, when hopefully we will be able to get outside and play on the grass. As always the weather will be the all important factor, but the ground is looking in tip top condition and groundsman Phil Frost has been busy rolling the square and it looks good out there."The thirty four year old wicket-keeper batsman continued: "I think that we are planning to have our full championship side out for the match at Millfield, and we are all geared up for it. I hope that I’ll be playing because that’s where I went to school so it will be good to be back there."

The Tasmanian Cricket Association (TCA) has launched a plan to install lights at Bellerive Oval after being told it risked losing future one-day international fixtures unless it became a viable day-night venue. The TCA hopes the light towers could be built as early as next year, although it is likely to face opposition from local residents.In his first day as the TCA chairman, Tony Harrison said he was hoping to lodge a development application with the Clarence City Council within a matter of weeks. The urgency from the TCA has been sparked after Cricket Australia and Channel Nine expressed strong reservations about scheduling further day games at Bellerive.”Cricket’s broadcast partners have told us that lighting is required if they are to continue to telecast matches from Bellerive,” Harrison said. “As a result, Cricket Australia has advised that it will be difficult to program one-day international and Twenty20 matches here if they are not telecast.”The TCA has for years been keen to install lights at the ground but the local council and residents have provided consistent stumbling-blocks. However, Harrison believes lighting technology has advanced enough to mean that there would be no wash of lighting beyond the playing area, and retractable telescopic towers might be the way to go.But Richard James, alderman with the Clarence Council, said there would still be strong opposition to the development. “I just think it’s a ridiculous decision,” James told the , “and it’s one I think that the TCA may learn to regret.”Harrison said the TCA appreciated the position of its neighbours and intended to work with them to deal with their concerns. Bellerive Oval has hosted two one-day internationals per season for the past two summers, but often receives only one per year.

Scorecard

Scotland’s stand-in captain Fraser Watts made a defiant 93 to lead Scotland to 243 for 7 at stumps on the first day of their match against Bermuda. Left-arm spinner Dwayne Leverock was again Bermuda’s hero, taking four wickets as he sent down a marathon 37 overs in the day.After Scotland chose to bat, their openers, Watt and Douglas Lockhart, faced a probing new-ball spell from George O’Brien and Stefan Kelly. They had strung together a 42-run stand for the first wicket before Leverock, fresh from his ten-wicket match haul against Canada last week, had Lockhart caught behind.With none of the other top six batsmen going past 25, Watt had little support and was finally dismissed seven short of what would have been his third first-class century. Scotland’s batting had been weakened by the absence of Gavin Hamilton and regular captain Ryan Watson but an unbeaten 44 from No. 7 Majid Haq helped them move towards a competitive total.It was slow going from Scotland’s batsmen as none of Bermuda’s bowlers conceded more than three an over. Offspinner Rodney Trott took 2 for 54 to support Leverock, who turns 37 on Monday.

BRISBANE, Nov 2 AAP – Experienced Queensland batsmen Stuart Law and Martin Love posted half-centuries as the Bulls made England toil on the first day of the three-day tour match at Allan Border Field.At tea, the Bulls were 3-217 with Love unbeaten on 66 and a cautious Andrew Symonds on five.Law was the only man out in the middle session, nudging a return catch to Andrew Flintoff (1-44) after a well-made 68 in a partnership of 128 with Love.Law and Love looked confident at the crease against the attack which England seems certain to take into the first Test at the Gabba on Thursday.Andrew Caddick (2-45) took two wickets in the first session during an encouraging opening spell but the tourists have struggled for breakthroughs.Simon Jones (0-46) has bowled too short at times despite bothering the Bulls with some dangerous deliveries outside off-stump.Flintoff had bowled 11 overs in a confident sign he had recovered from a double hernia operation in time for the Test.Englishman Mark Butcher provided a worrying moment when he slammed into the fence when stopping a shot from Law reaching the boundary.Butcher appeared to be hurt but seconds later he ran back to his fielding position.

Alec Stewart will become the first England player to make 150 appearances in one-day internationals tomorrow afternoon, when England meet India in the NatWest Series day-night match at Chester-le-Street.Stewart, 39, equalled Graham Gooch’s record of 118 Test caps for England at Old Trafford last month. Having scored a century there, he has taken his form into the current series, with 83 at Trent Bridge, 28 not out at Lord’s and a crucial unbeaten 38 in yesterday’s remarkable win over Sri Lanka at Headingley.Stewart has batted in a different position in each game – yesterday he came in at number eight – and has been taking advice from the England coach Duncan Fletcher on how to perform later in the innings.”I’m 39 but I’m still learning,” Stewart said. “I had a chat with Duncan on the day before the game and he gave me a few tips about batting down the order when the ball is reverse swinging – where to hit the ball and how to hit the ball.”He spoke to me about that on Monday and I practice hard and had two net sessions with Duncan standing behind talking me through certain things andtelling me to work on certain things and that helped my innings.”Where I bat is a bit like the lottery – it all depends on what number comes out of the hat. I’m really just glad to be involved because back in April I wasn’t even in the set-up.”Stewart’s recall this summer resulted from an injury to the contracted keeper, James Foster of Essex, but it is an opportunity he has grasped with characteristic firmness.”Unfortunately for James Foster and fortunately for me, his injury has given me the opportunity in both forms of cricket and I want to try and grab them.”No matter where I bat I want to do the best job I can. I’ve done alright in this tournament so far but I want to keep things going because we’re only sixmonths away from the World Cup.”If Stewart does make the World Cup it will be his fourth tournament, and he believes England now have a squad that could surprise the more pessimistic pundits.”After a win you’re always high and everything is always great, but I dobelieve we’re moving in the right direction. The selectors have given this side some continuity. The nucleus of the players are there and they may bring one more in over the next couple of tournament but this squad are sticking and gelling together as a team – we know how each other play and how we’re going to play as a team in certain situations.”In the past you would be wondering what side it would be when you turned up, but now there are 14 or 15 players in there who know each other’s games verywell.”For this next World Cup we had better make sure we prepare well, pick theright squad and play to our capabilities. If we do that and keep improving thenwe have a fair chance.”Although Stewart is England’s most-capped ODI player, he remains well down the pecking order in the global list of appearances. India’s Sachin Tendulkar hasfeatured in 290 matches, while Sri Lankan captain Sanath Jayasuriya has played 260 times.”I’ve not missed many one-day games since I made my debut about 13 years ago, but I’m only just coming up to my 150,” added Stewart. “Someone similar from other countries like Pakistan or Australia would have played around 250 inthe same period.”That says a fair amount about our inexperience. The only way you can learn in this form of cricket is out in the middle – the more games you play, the more experienced you get and you recognise certain situations and know how to react.”

ADELAIDE, Nov 19 AAP – Australian paceman Jason Gillespie won’t know until at least tomorrow whether he will be passed fit for the second cricket Test against England starting at Adelaide Oval on Thursday.Gillespie bowled in the nets today without feeling any soreness in his troublesome calf muscle but Australian team physiotherapist Errol Alcott wants to see how the 27-year-old feels tomorrow.Gillespie may then be required to bowl another spell in the nets to completely satisfy Alcott he is ready to play.If Gillespie is declared fit, the selectors will have to choose between fellow pacemen Brett Lee, who was axed for the first Test, and incumbent Andrew Bichel for the final bowling spot.

South African opener Gary Kirsten will have left Kingsmead in a foul mood on Friday evening after losing his wicket one ball before play was called off for bad light at the end of the first day’s play in the third and final Castle Lager/MTN Test match against Australia.Kirsten was caught off a glove down the leg side as he faced Brett Lee’s 140km/h plus thunderbolts in uncertain light. He went at 48 for one as play ran nearly an hour overtime and just one ball later, after South Africa had sent Paul Adams in as nightwatchman, umpires Dave Orchard and Srinivas Venkataraghavan, both members of the ICC’s elite umpires panel, called the players off the field.It was a poor decision to have kept the players on as the sun dropped behind Durban’s Berea and before the floodlights had taken full effect. The South Africans will not have been amused, particular after Kirsten and Herschelle Gibbs had made a solid start to their reply to Australia’s 315 all out.The loss of Kirsten aside, South African will have been relatively well pleased with their position after asking Australia to bat. Opinion at Kingsmead on Mark Boucher’s decision was divided, but many thought he had chosen to field first in order to keep his batsmen away from Australia’s bowlers.As it turned out, there were few devils in the Kingsmead pitch and more than one Australian batsman had only himself to blame for his dismisssal. There was an early breathrough for South Africa as David Terbrugge struck with the first ball of his comback Test match to remove Justin Langer at 11 for one and for once Matthew Hayden went relatively cheaply, caught at slip off Jacques Kallis for 28.But Ricky Ponting, who finished off the Newlands Test on Tuesday by hitting a six to reach his hundred, was in awesome form, middling the ball from the word go. He looked quite capable of doubling his Newlands effort as he and Mark Waugh added 108 for thje third wicket and then South Africa had one of those moments that sometimes change the directions of Test matches.Waugh pushed to cover and called for a single, Ponting went and Gibbs threw down the wicket at the striker’s end to catch Ponting short on 89. It was an unnecessary risk and Australia were quickly made to pay for it. Waugh was caught at slip off Kallis nine runs later and then Paul Adams had Steve Waugh caught at slip for just 7, the third time in as many innings that the Australian captain has got out cheaply to the left-arm spinner.Australia had slipped from 169 for two to 182 for five and South Africa were in the game. But, of course, Adam Gilchrist had still to bat.The left-hander lost Damien Martyn for 11, had some support from Shane Warne who made 26 in a 57-run stand for seventh wicket and again looked invincible as he stormed to 91. Then he hit Adams to Graeme Smith at deep square leg to be out for only the second time in the series.Gilchrist has now scored 457 in this series at an average of 228.5. Only two Australians have scored more runs than him in a three-Test series – Matthew Hayden who compiled549 at 109.8 against India last year and Mark Taylor who scored 531 at 128.25 against Pakistan in 1998/99.Australia, then, were finally all out for 315, their lowest total of the series and it would have been a very good day for South Africa, relatively speaking, had Kirsten made it through to the close.
