Game abandoned five balls short of a result

Match abandoned
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsHashim Amla continued his form through the summer into the second T20•Getty Images

The wettest of English summers has struck again. The second Twenty20 international at Old Trafford was an exercise in futility as rain, which had reduced the contest to nine overs per side, returned five balls before a result would have been achieved.South Africa were favourites at that stage, however difficult that is to call in such a small game, with England needing 13 off five balls to win on Duckworth/Lewis after Luke Wright had been caught at deep square-leg the ball before the heavens opened again. It had been a faltering chase of 78 with the top three struggling to score off Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn.Kieswetter had tried to swing at Morkel from the first ball, a difficult task at the best of times, and only found fresh air with his first four attempts. His innings was ended by a wonderful catch by Robin Peterson running backwards from mid-on and diving full length. It was almost the equal of Dan Christian’s stunner in Dubai a few days ago.South Africa’s innings had also included a screaming catch when Graeme Swann back-peddled off his own bowling and stuck out his right hand to remove JP Duminy. However, England dropped another and it was inevitably Hashim Amla who, once again, finished as top-scorer with 47 off 30 balls meaning he has achieved career-bests in all three formats on this tour. Amla had been recalled in place of Faf du Plessis for this match and adapted to the shorter-than-short format.Apart from Amla, it was a helter-skelter innings from South Africa, which began with Richard Levi gloving the first ball down the leg side against Steven Finn about two-and-a-half hours after he had been ready to start the game before the rain fell.AB de Villiers also fell to Finn, top-edging a pull to mid-on where Jade Dernbach juggled the catch before holding on falling backwards, but after the three overs of Powerplay South Africa had made good use of them to have 32 on the board. Interestingly, though, with an eye on future cricket at this ground, notably the Ashes Test next year, the pitch had regained some of its old pace and bounce with Finn and Stuart Broad – whose speeds have increased after his break – zipping the ball through.Out of the Powerplay, Swann produced a tight over which only conceded five singles, spearing his deliveries full at the batsmen to ensure they could only work them down the ground. This was followed by Wright’s first over which only went for four and included the wicket of Albie Morkel who skewed a catch to cover.On the whole England’s bowlers did well with only Broad proving really expensive as his second over – the penultimate of the innings -cost 18 and included a no-ball. Such lapses cannot be afforded in the World Twenty20.Also with thoughts moving towards the World T20, England made a significant decision when Ravi Bopara’s awful form finally cost him place and led to Wright’s inclusion. It was about the only call England could make after his horror run of 34 runs from the eight innings he has played since returning from personal problems after the first Test.Whether he now has a chance recapture any semblance of touch before the World T20 is a major doubt and England look like entering the tournament carrying one of their 15-man squad. England have one more match against South Africa, at Edgbaston on Wednesday, and a couple of warm-up matches, against Australia and Pakistan, in Sri Lanka before the tournament proper but Andy Flower and Broad may already have made up their minds. The only way a player can be replaced in a squad is through injury or illness.Wright, for his part, deserved his chance after a productive season for Sussex in both limited-overs formats. This was officially his first England match since June 2011 when he faced Sri Lanka in a T20 match at Bristol. Since then he has travelled the world playing franchise T20, making a name for himself in the Big Bash League especially where he scored a 44-ball hundred, and returned to Sussex a more rounded cricketer.Wright’s recall was the only change for England, who resisted tinkering further despite the heavy defeat at Chester-le-Street, with Danny Briggs, Michael Lumb and Tim Bresnan still waiting for their turn. Bresnan’s elbow, which he had surgery on at the end of the last year, has been causing further concern in recent weeks and he had scans before the T20 series started but took a full part in the warm-ups.The match was played at an Old Trafford where the redevelopments are seriously taking shape. The new players and media building was used for the first time today and initial impressions were excellent. Further work will have been done by the time the Ashes Test arrives next year, including finishing the famous pavilion, and everyone will have their fingers crossed for better weather.

Worcestershire produced a stunning bowling performance to condemn Group A leaders Netherlands to only their second CB40 defeat of the campaign courtesy of a nine-wicket victory at The Hague.After the contest was reduced to 39 overs per side due to the inclement weather, Worcestershire skittled the hosts for just 57 inside 24 overs after winning the toss, with only Tom Cooper, who made 25, and captain Peter Borren making double figures. Gareth Andrew and Jack Shantry both claimed three wickets, and David Lucas and skipper Daryl Mitchell took two wickets apiece.Vikram Solanki’s unbeaten 39 from 40 balls saw Worcestershire home inside 14 overs, with the convincing triumph moving them into second place in the table, five points behind the Dutch but with three games in hand.Netherlands never recovered from having Stephan Myburgh caught behind by Ben Scott off the first ball of the innings from Lucas. He and Shantry combined in successive overs to remove Michael Swart and Wesley Barresi to leave the Netherlands 24 for 3 in the eighth over.Cooper had 25 of the Netherlands’ 33, but was trapped in front by Andrew before Lucas caught Cameron Borgas off Shantry seven balls later.Mitchell introduced himself into the attack and made a double breakthrough in the space of five balls, accounting for Tim Gruijters and Mudassar Bukhari as the hosts found themselves seven down for just 47.Borren made 12, but his 33-ball knock came to an end at the hands of Andrew, who trapped him in front and then dismissed Tom Heggelman in similar fashion next ball to complete figures of 3 for 9 off seven overs. Shantry took 3 for 26, wrapping up the innings by dismissing last man Timm van der Gugten for just a single.Despite the loss of Moeen Ali to van der Gugten in the fifth over, Solanki, who struck a century in his side’s defeat to Lancashire on Monday, ensured Worcestershire had no further alarms by hitting five fours. He was accompanied in an unbroken second-wicket stand of 48 by Phil Hughes, who hit one four in his 12 not out.

Cloud over BPL after fixing arrest

One player has been called into hearing by the BPL on Monday after a man was arrested the previous night for his suspected involvement in spot-fixing in the BPL

The Bangladesh Premier League, aimed at lifting the profile of Bangladesh cricket, finds itself embroiled in controversy•BPL T20

One player has been called into a hearing by the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) on Monday after a man was arrested the previous night for his suspected involvement in fixing in the BPL*.Sajid Khan, a Pakistani citizen, was approached by Chittagong Kings officials during their game against Barisal Burners at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday evening. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) security staff stopped him near the players’ zone, which he was trying to access.The BCB security chief, Col (rtd) Mesbahuddin Serniabat, told that the BCB had kept an eye on Sajid since the matches held in Chittagong, and finally captured him on Sunday. “His movement was very suspicious and we followed him from Chittagong,” he said, adding that they had handed him over to the Mirpur police, who were supposed to raid the man’s hotel room.It is understood that the security officers found the bank account number of one player of the Chittagong Kings and the e-mail address of another who is playing for the Dhaka Gladiators in Sajid’s mobile inbox.”He [Sajid] has been handed over to the police so the investigation is now in their hands,” BCB media committee chairman Jalal Yunus said. “The BCB has zero tolerance in this matter and i hope we get to the bottom of this.”**An official of the Chittagong franchise, requesting anonymity, has told ESPNcricinfo that Sajid had been found talking to some of their foreign players during the tournament, eliciting suspicion after sitting directly on top of the players’ dugout and dressing room during the matches held in Mirpur.The incident occurs just over two weeks after Dhaka Gladiators captain Mashrafe Mortaza reported to his franchise that he had been approached by a fellow cricketer regarding potential spot-fixing during the BPL. The BCB has formed a four-member committee to inquire into the allegation.Edited by Dustin Silgardo*February 27, 2012 8:20GMT: This lead has been edited from a previous version

Game even after day of 18 wickets

ScorecardHarshal Patel took 8 for 34, bettering his season best performance from last week•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Eighteen wickets for a measly 171 runs in a single day’s cricket could easily suggest that the track on which this panned out had threatened life and limb. All that the Bansi Lal Stadium surface did on the first day of the Ranji Trophy semi-final was to be itself on a biting winter day and with it test batting skills.Haryana and Rajasthan find themselves locked in a struggle of nerve and application, with only two wickets needed on the second morning to complete the first two innings.Harshal Patel, the former India Under-19 bowler and current flavour of the season, again produced the best Ranji figures this year – 8 for 34 – as Rajasthan unraveled to 89 all out. Then came Rajasthan’s bustling Rituraj Singh taking 5 for 36 and coming close to completely dismantling Haryana’s batting, reducing them to 40 for 7. By stumps, they had inched their way 82 for 8, an obdurate 33-run eighth wicket partnership bringing some voice back to local throats and colour back to Haryana’s cheeks.Harshal was in the centre of things yet again, as one half of that partnership with Mohit Sharma. His lone scoring stroke in 20 minutes of batting sent out its own message to his top order. Two steps out to medium-pacer Rituraj and a whip past square leg for four. When Harshal walked back to the dressing room with Mohit, who had spent close to two hours for 16, the applause from their team-mates sounded more fervent than it had for their bowling efforts in the morning.It was a day when the bowlers on both sides could say they had done all the work. Rajasthan too had come apart at the seams reaching 66 for 9 just after lunch. Gajendra Singh and Sumit Mathur then put up 23 and helped the defending champions reach what only on such an absurd day’s cricket could be called a “respectable” total.Haryana’s decision to field may have appeared sagely and bold but turned out to be simple common sense. The dreaded fog was absent and the sun shone. Underneath all the brightness though were conditions made for seam bowling. The gossamer haze of the morning carried with it moisture and the breeze blowing over the ground, some bites of swing. The Bansi Lal Stadium square is built on a rich water table where it doesn’t take long to find water nor does it dry out enough in the winter to make life easy for batsmen.The ball moved laterally off the wicket and swung in the air. It stopped before coming on to the bat, making batting difficult and run scoring demanding. Harshal for his part made sure it wasn’t going to be easy for Rajasthan. He scythed through the top order, producing a spell that is simple to describe in clichés about good areas and line and length.When witnessed though, it was an impressive demonstration of discipline and lung power. He sent down 15 overs of a probing length and let the winter and his familiarity with Lahli do the rest. He said he had needed two overs to warm up and get started, “the ball was not coming out of my hand but I know what Lahli is like. The wicket’s always like this in the morning, it helps the seamers, when the dew is gone and the sunlight hits the wicket.”Sunlight and dew may make for poetry on paper but to Rajasthan’s most experienced batsmen, Aakash Chopra and Hrishikesh Kanitkar, it spelt a half-hour struggle before they nicked one to the wicketkeeper. Vineet Saxena was the lone frontline batsman for Rajasthan who survived the first session. He had scratched out 32 runs, the day’s highest score, but in the second over after lunch he flicked one to square leg.Until then it had been Haryana’s day driven by Harshal, whose 8-40 versus Karnataka in Bangalore had set them up in the quarter-final. They were going to be batting in the second session, when the wicket had at least dried out from the morning. They did not take into account the damage that the new ball could do.Haryana’s top order was trapped somewhere in no man’s land: unable to find the defence mechanisms needed to wear off the shine of the new ball or brazenly attempt an all-out attack to challenge the bowlers. Five were gone within eight overs of Rituraj and Pankaj Singh bowling at a good clip and with venom; captain Amit Mishra and Priyank Tehlan’s attempts to stitch a stand together fell apart in two overs around tea. Mishra’s leading edge off an expansive on-drive found Robin Bisht at point and Tehlan didn’t reach the pitch of the ball and looped one to mid-on Pankaj Singh’s hands. From 40 for 7, again the bowlers started giving Haryana a chance.Day one of the Ranji semi-final was very much a bowlers’ day. Mohit Sharma had bowled an uninterrupted spell of 15 overs in the Rajasthan innings, Harshal bowled 12 overs on the go. At stumps, Harshal said quite succinctly, “It’s not about the wicket settling, it’s more about the team settling on the wicket.”In conditions such as these, it would take batsmen of exceptional quality to play the match-defining innings. With three days to spare, that is still awaited.

São Bento pretende manter invencibilidade contra o Figueirense

MatériaMais Notícias

O Figueirense tenta emplacar a segunda vitória fora de casa na Série B, nesta terça-feira. O time dirigido por Milton Cruz vai encarar o São Bento, em Sorocaba, às 19h15. O objetivo do Furacão é garantir os três pontos para voltar ao G-4 da competição. O São Bento, ainda está invicto na Segundona, também busca de aproximar do topo da tabela. Até agora, o Azulãovenceu dois jogos e empatou cinco.

Para o confronto com os paulistas, o treinador alvinegro ainda não definiu qual atacante vai a campo. A dúvida é entreHenan e André Luis. Vale lembrar que no último jogo do Furacão, contra o CSA, os dois jogadores balançaram as redes.

O lateral-esquerdoGuilherme Lazaroni estará à disposição de Milton Cruz, já que cumpriu suspensão na última partida. João Lucas, no entanto,surge como provável escolha para o time titular.

O Furacão deve ir a campo com: Denis; Diego Renan, Nogueira, Cleberson e João Lucas; Zé Antônio, Pereira, Jorge Henrique, Renan Mota e Gustavo Ferrareis; Henan (André Luis).

O técnico do São Bento, Paulo Roberto Santos, deve poupar alguns jogadores. É provável, por exemplo, que ozagueiro Luizão e o meia Diogo Oliveira desfalquem o time. A tendência é que o treinador deixe alguns atletas de fora por conta do desgaste físico.

Sendo assim, o Azulão deve ser escalado com: Rodrigo Viana; Lucas Farias, João Paulo, Douglas Assis e Paulinho; Fábio Bahia, Dudu Vieira e Rodolfo; Lucas Crispim, Everaldo e Zé Roberto.

Ireland to play Pakistan in May

Ireland will play Pakistan in a two-match ODI series in May this year

ESPNcricinfo staff25-Mar-2011Ireland will play Pakistan in a two-match ODI series in May this year. The teams last played each other in an ODI in the 2007 World Cup, when Ireland pulled off a shock win on St. Patrick’s day and knocked Pakistan out of the tournament. They have got progressively better since then and stood out among the Associate teams in the 2011 World Cup in the sub-continent, beating England in a stunning chase, seeing off Netherlands, running Bangladesh close and competing well against India and West Indies.The ICC’s decision to stick to their plans for a 10-team tournament in 2015 was a setback to Ireland’s chances but increasing opportunities to play top teams – Sri Lanka have agreed to a tri-series later this year – marks a welcome development for them. “Following our recent World Cup campaign, the need to play the world’s best teams on a more regular basis has become more pressing than ever to give us the experience to continue to compete at the highest level,” Cricket Ireland chief Warren Deutrom said.”This is what we have been crying out for – fixtures against the top teams in the world,” Ireland coach Phil Simmons added. “We have shown just how much our cricket has improved, and by playing these type of games, it’ll keep growing in the right direction. We’re due to play Sri Lanka and England as well this summer, so that’s definitely a step in the right direction as far as Irish cricket is concerned.”The two ODIs against Pakistan will be played at Stormont, Belfast on May 28 and May 30.
