Ishant Sharma, the Indian fast bowler, has been ruled out of the first ODI against England in Rajkot on Friday due to an ankle sprain. Ishant, who was Man of the Series in the recent Test series against Australia, has been advised five days’ rest, a BCCI release said.”He is undergoing his rehabilitation at present and is making good progress,” N Srinivasan, the BCCI secretary, said. “Hence he would not be available for the first ODI against England.”Apparently, the team management had informed the BCCI that Ishant aggravated the injury due to his “bowling overload” during the last Test against Australia in Nagpur, which India won by 172 runs to clinch the four-Test series 2-0. Ishant bowled 35 overs in the final Test and took four wickets to complete a highly successful series in which he sent down 138 overs for 15 wickets.The team management was planning to get MRI scan done on Ishant as a preventive measure and assess the injury in consultation with Mumbai-based doctor Anant Joshi, who is a member of the ICC’s medical committee.Ishant’s injury will hit India’s fast-bowling options for the series opener against England, leaving captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni with Zaheer Khan, RP Singh and Munaf Patel. Zaheer bowled 145.5 overs during the four-Test series against Australia. Munaf and RP Singh last played for India in August against Sri Lanka in Colombo during the five-ODI series, a series that Ishant missed.The Indian team has reached Rajkot and is scheduled to have a practice session in the afternoon, while England is arriving in the evening and will have their nets on Thursday.

Chris Gayle, the West Indies captain, will lead the Stanford Superstars in the Stanford Super Series, which includes the US$20 million match against England on November 1 in Antigua. Sylvester Joseph, the Antigua and Barbuda captain, will be Gayle’s deputy as the Superstars vie for the richest prize in cricket.”Our selection panel gave much thought to this selection and deliberated extensively and there was consensus that Chris is the man for the job,” Viv Richards, the chairman of the Superstars’ selection panel, said. “He’s an experienced international cricketer, possesses a cool head and is the best man for the job in this all important match.”Additionally the selection of Joseph who has been touted as one of the better leaders in the region pays compliments to Chris’ leadership and it is also good to have a new and refreshing face in the deputy position.”Gayle has led West Indies in five Tests, 19 ODIs and two Twenty20 internationals. He is also the only batsman to score a century in a Twenty20 international – against South Africa in the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 last year. Joseph has played five Tests and 13 ODIs, but last represented West Indies during the tour of England in 2007.Allrounder Dwayne Bravo, who has been vice-captain to Gayle in recent internationals, will miss the game after he underwent an ankle injury. The 17-man squad also includes two of West Indies’ most experienced players in Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan.The clash between the Stanford Superstars and England is the first of five annual matches, with a total prize of US$100m. The prize money will be shared as follows: $1m each for players on the winning team, $1m to be shared between the reserve players and $1m between the support staff. The West Indies and England boards would each receive $3.5m.The Superstars will play two warm-up games during the Stanford Super Series, on October 25 and 30, before facing England.Stanford Superstars squad: Chris Gayle (capt), Sylvester Joseph, Lionel Baker, Sulieman Benn, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Lennox Cush, Travis Dowlin, Rayad Emrit, Andre Fletcher, Chad Hampson, Lindon James (wk), Dave Mohammed, Kieron Pollard, Daren Powell, Darren Sammy, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Jerome Taylor.

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.

Yorkshire 457 (Rudolph 146) and 170 for 9 (Lyth 52, Gough 32) drew with Kent 227 and 433 (Dexter 105, van Jaarsveld 73)
ScorecardIt was a thrilling finish after all at Scarborough, thanks to the incompetence of the home side in chasing a none too difficult target. Only the fighting spirit of the two old warhorses, Darren Gough and Matthew Hoggard, with the bat saved Yorkshire from defeat, along with the lack of consistency of Kent’s bowlers who almost had the match handed them on a plate. The match ended with the Kent fielders clustered around the last pair of Yorkshire batsmen, but their bowlers were unable to take the crucial tenth wicket that would have given them one of the most remarkable of victories, after trailing by 230 runs on the first innings.Kent carried on in the morning from their second-innings score of 273 for 5, 43 runs in the lead. The sun was shining and the crowd, though smaller than on previous days, was still approaching 2,000. It appeared to be the perfect setting for Yorkshire to wrap up the match.Rana Naved was unable to repeat his magic of the previous evening, and was no-balled several times for overstepping, but he still looked a much better bowler than he had done 18 hours earlier. For twenty minutes Yorkshire used the old ball, failed to take a wicket, and then opted for a new one. Almost immediately Geraint Jones, who had started the day briskly, was yorked by Dion Kruis for 25. Soon afterwards the other overnight batsmen, Martin van Jaarsveld, was brilliantly caught at second slip by Anthony McGrath off the same bowler, for a quiet but invaluable 73. Kent were 326 for 7, with all their specialist batsmen gone, and the match appeared to be Yorkshire’s for the taking.Then came the partnership which, though not particularly significant at first glance, in effect changed the match. It nearly never happened: with 10 to his account Ryan McLaren popped up a ball gently towards mid-on, but the diving fielder could not quite get there in time. Then he and James Tredwell played sensible cricket, scoring freely off the loose deliveries, and the bowlers were unable to separate them. The stroke of the stand was a superb flat six by Tredwell over long-on off Adil Rashid.They added a crucial 68 runs for the eighth wicket before Darren Gough brought himself on just before lunch, and did the trick, having an indecisive McLaren caught at the wicket for 35. After lunch Tredwell reached a well-merited 50 off 71 balls before, four runs later, groping forward to be caught at slip off Rashid. Amjad Khan applied the long handle briefly for 21 not out before the innings closed for 433. Naved took 4 for 86, while there were two wickets each for Hoggard and Kruis; apart from Naved’s inspired spell, the overall quality of the bowling was disappointing.Yorkshire’s target of 204 in a minimum of 51 overs, exactly four an over, was not as comfortable as they would have wished, but should not have been a serious problem in the prevailing good batting conditions. But they were in trouble from the start. Michael Vaughan looked totally out of touch with his game and a candidate for a winter off; he faced 14 balls without scoring before he was out to a low catch at second slip off Robbie Joseph. Within minutes, Andrew Gale (9) was lbw to the same bowler, trying to work a straight ball to leg, and McGrath (3) caught at slip off a ball from Khan that reared at him. Yorkshire were 25 for 3.Jacques Rudolph began in superb style, hitting Joseph for two fours in the first over he faced, while his fellow left-hander Adam Lyth also played some fluent and confident strokes, especially through the covers. Yorkshire now appeared to be well on course again, despite some rather risky running between the wickets – but with the total on 60, McLaren went round the wicket and surprised Rudolph (24) with a ball that came back and bowled him.Kent were now the side on top, believing they could win. Gerard Brophy (14) threw his wicket away with a rustic heave at Darren Steven’s first ball, skying an easy catch to mid-on, and the part-time bowler also removed Rashid (0), lunging at a ball to be caught at first slip. Despite being 102 for 6, Yorkshire were up with the required scoring rate, helped by a number of wides and no-balls.Of the major batsmen, only Lyth remained. He did his best, reaching 50 off 78 balls, but the pressure was too great for his lack of experience, and he was out for 52, flashing a catch to first slip off Joseph. This was just after the start of the final hour; 135 for 8 and, considering the lack of Yorkshire grit shown thus far, the end appeared to be inevitable.Gough and Hoggard did delay it most creditably for 45 minutes, the latter all grim defence although playing and missing frequently, while the captain swung lustily at times but with more discrimination than some of his top order. It took a fine catch by Rob Key at backward point to hold a powerful forcing stroke off Khan and remove him for a gallant 32.With five overs remaining and last man Kruis at the crease and looking shaky, Kent still could be favoured to win, but they could not quite bowl well enough to complete the job. Too many deliveries were wasted, to tell the truth, during the entire innings, although there were good spells, and had they won, they would have owed their victory more to Yorkshire’s pathetic batting rather than their own skill; in addition, their fielding at times was fallible. Keen but inconsistent must be the verdict.Had they won, they would actually have risen to the top of the championship table, which only emphasizes how even the top division is, where no county has really looked truly deserving of a championship title. But Yorkshire remain in danger, having been forced to save at the last ditch a match they should certainly have won, and unless Darren Gough can pull his ragged team together in a hurry, his illustrious career may well end with his county’s demotion.

Scorecard

Netherlands earned themselves a place in the tournament final, but more importantly a spot in the World Twenty20 in England, with a fine five-wicket victory over Scotland, with two full overs to spare. After a good start by their opponents, they fought back to restrict them severely, and then overcame a couple of sticky moments with the bat to reach the target in good time.Netherlands won the toss and decided to bowl first, a trend that is taking over at this low-scoring tournament. Scotland’s openers, however, made a mockery of the dismal starts achieved by most sides in recent matches, as Ryan Watson took Kyle Coetzer in first with him, and the pair quickly launched themselves into the type of opening partnership that is more to be expected in this type of cricket. It was mostly good clean hitting, with Coetzer lofting a six over long-on off Mudassar Bakhari in the third over.After 10 overs, the score was 50 without loss, but five runs later Watson swung across the line and was bowled by Peter Borren for 22, off 27 balls. Coetzer and Navdeep Poonia then concentrated mainly on singles, which came off most balls, but the search for yet another led to the run-out of Coetzer for 40 (44 balls, 2 sixes and 4 fours).Colin Smith quickly followed, holing out at long-on, but Pooniah and Gavin Hamilton settled for a sober partnership of accumulation with few extravagant strokes, aiming perhaps for a total of about 120, considering how difficult teams have found chasing smaller targets this tournament.With two overs left, the total was 98 for 3, but then Hamilton, aiming at extravagance virtually for the first time, holed out on the leg side.It takes so little to send a team on the slippery slope of disaster, and in quick succession Neil McCallum was caught at extra cover, also off Ryan ten Doeschate, and Poonia run out for 25. In moments the score had become 99 for 6. The final over saw Richie Berrington and Gordon Drummond run out and John Blain almost caught on the boundary off the final ball. The total was 107 for 8.It is easy to say Scotland lost their way after such a good start, but by the weird standards of this particular tournament, even to reach 100 is quite an achievement. ten Doeschate, with 3 for 23, was the most successful bowler, but the most economical was the opener Edgar Schiferli, who conceded only 18 runs, bowling mostly during the dominant opening partnership.Netherlands quickly lost Darron Reekers, caught at mid-on off a miscued pull. Twenty-nine runs came up in the first four overs without much more fuss from either side, the batsmen concentrating on frequent singles with only occasional slogs. At 50, in the ninth over, Tim de Grooth was caught at the wicket off Berrington for 24, and at the ten-over mark the score was 56 for 2.Bokari, having scored most of his 9 runs off the edge, was caught at slip, but Eric Szwarczynski and ten Doeschate batted steadily, largely in singles, to take the score to 81, when the former had a rush of blood, trying a big hit to leg, only to have the resulting skyer caught by the keeper, having made 30. He was soon followed by Daan van Bunge, caught at slip without scoring. At 83 for 5, was another serious collapse taking place?Borren, with two successive fours off Drummond, soon put paid to such nonsense. The end came quickly now, as ten Doeschate swung Majid Haq for six over square leg, and next ball followed it with a reverse-swept four to take Netherlands into the final. Eighteen runs came off that over – the sort of over that is more commonly expected in this type of cricket but so rarely seen at this tournament.ten Doeschate was unbeaten with 24 off 18 balls, while Borren had 16 off 12. Blain and Berrington had two wickets each.

Big Picture

The Indian Test team has been in form over the last couple of years but the task before them over the next three weeks is a huge one. Sri Lanka are a formidable team at home – since India’s last tour in 2001, the Sri Lankans have won 11 out of 14 series, losing only to Australia and Pakistan, and drawing a two-match series against New Zealand.It’s been seven years since India’s last Test series here, but the settled nature of both teams means many of the protagonists are the same. A couple of Indians who missed out in 2001 could have huge roles to play this time: Anil Kumble is the leader of the team and the bowling attack, while Sachin Tendulkar continues to be the key man in the middle order and is within touching distance of becoming the highest run-scorer in Test cricket.Sri Lanka’s successes at home have largely been built around the simple strategy of steady run-accumulation and a relentless diet of high-quality spin bowling. They have the resources for both in this series: the opening pair is inexperienced, but Sri Lanka have plenty of class in the middle order, while Ajantha Mendis lends a touch of mystery to their spin attack.

India WLDDW

Watch out for

Muttiah Muralitharan: The focus has been exclusively on Mendis throughout the build-up to the Test, but Muralitharan will probably be the bigger threat, especially at a ground where he has taken 20% of all his Test wickets. In 22 matches, he has a rich tally of 149 wickets here at slightly more than 21 apiece. Most of the Indians are fairly adept players of spin, but that didn’t stop Murali from taking 11 wickets at this ground the last time the two teams met.Gautam Gambhir: He has made a regular spot for himself in the shorter versions, but this is Gambhir’s chance to make the Test opener’s spot his own as well. His Test career has been more stop than start so far, but these might be the best conditions for him to make his mark: the bounce shouldn’t bother him too much, while he has given enough indications in the past that he is adept at tackling high-quality spin.

Team news

Most of the Sri Lankan team chooses itself, and Mahela Jayawardene, the captain, confirmed that Tillakaratne Dilshan had sealed the No. 6 spot ahead of Chamara Silva, who scored two half-centuries in the tour game against the Indians. With Lasith Malinga, Dilhara Fernando and Farveez Maharoof all unavailable, the tussle for Chaminda Vaas’ new-ball partner is between Thilan Thushara and Nuwan Kulasekara. Thushara, who played both Tests in the West Indies earlier this year, should get the nod. Jayawardene suggested there was a chance of playing both those seamers because of the wet weather which has been forecast.Sri Lanka (probable) 1 Michael Vandort, 2 Malinda Warnapura, 3 Kumar Sangakkara, 4 Mahela Jayawardene (capt), 5 Thilan Samaraweera, 6 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 7 Prasanna Jayawardene (wk), 8 Chaminda Vaas, 9 Muttiah Muralitharan, 10 Ajantha Mendis, 11 Thilan Thushara.The Indian team has a settled look to it. Gambhir gets another chance to resurrect his Test career, but the rest of the batting line-up chooses itself. The return of Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh should boost the bowling attack.India (probable) 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Virender Sehwag, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 Sourav Ganguly, 6 VVS Laxman, 7 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 8 Anil Kumble (capt), 9 Harbhajan Singh, 10 Zaheer Khan, 11 Ishant Sharma.

Pitch & conditions

The pitch looks good to bat on but with thundershowers forecast over the next five days the seam and swing bowlers could come into the picture as well. Both teams have the quality to exploit the turn which should be on offer on the last couple of days.

Stats & Trivia

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.

Matthew Hayden says the injury that has ended his tour of the West Indies will not finish his career. Hayden was sent home from the Caribbean after Australia discovered the tendinosis in his right achilles, which kept him out of the first Test, would stop him from playing the remaining two matches.It will be the biggest lay-off for Hayden in years, after he played 86 consecutive Tests until missing the WACA game against India in January with a hamstring problem. But Hayden, 36, brushed off reports that the niggling injury might prompt him to start thinking of retirement.”I’ll be back bigger and better than ever,” Hayden told the . “This isn’t the kind of thing that is going to end my career. With the way the calendar is at the moment, there is a good opportunity now to get it right before a pretty busy schedule starts up.”So we decided that, rather than push it, it would be better to just get it right once and for all and go from there. I am completely confident that I will get this right and be back soon.”The team’s medical staff thought Hayden could probably have played in the one-day internationals that will follow the Tests in the West Indies. However, their cautious approach means he will target the three home ODIs against Bangladesh starting in late August, ahead of the Champions Trophy in Pakistan and a Test tour of India.While Simon Katich is the top-order beneficiary for the remaining Tests in the Caribbean, Hayden’s absence from the one-day team means Australia will have an unfamiliar pairing regardless of who is chosen. They have not played an ODI since Adam Gilchrist retired at the end of the CB Series.Hayden’s replacement is yet to be named but of the men already in the one-day squad the most likely candidates to open are James Hopes, who filled in at the top twice in the CB Series, and the uncapped Shaun Marsh. Both have been in excellent form in the Indian Premier League, where they have opened together for Kings XI Punjab, and Marsh is the tournament’s leading run scorer.”That’s big news [Hayden’s departure], and big too for Shaun knowing that because now he’ll be playing over there,” Hopes told . “We’ve spoken about how good it would be to be able to bat together for Australia, a lot of the times in this tournament he’s been kicking on.”

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.
