In compliance with the Supreme Court orders the Indian board has appointed a 3-man panel to select the Himachal Pradesh Ranji team for the one-day matches starting from February 10Gurusharan Singh, the former Test player from Delhi, has been named the Chairman of the panel while Bhupinder Singh (Snr) from Punjab, and Sarkar Talwar, a first-class cricketer of long standing from Haryana, have been included as the other members in the panel. The two-day trial for the selection of the team would start on February 4 at the PCA Stadium in Mohali.Two rival factions of Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association – one headed by Anurag Thakur and the other by Rajinder Zar – are fighting it out in the courts for the control of the Association. A Bench comprising YK Sabharwal, the Chief Justice, CK Thakker and RV Raveendran had on January 30 directed the Indian board to appoint a three-member panel to select the Himachal Pradesh team for the remaining domestic matches this season. The court had also stipulated that the Indian board “shall not included anyone from Himachal Pradesh” in the panel. As an interim measure, the Indian board would provide finance for the Himachal Pradesh team and the apex cricket body would be compensated for the same by the Association, which proved its credentials in the court of law, the court had said.

A 33-ball partnership of 64 runs for the eighth wicket between Josh Clarkson and Seth Rance led Central Districts to a two-wicket win over Northern Districts after five rain interruptions at Hamilton’s Seddon Park. Central Districts faced a revised target of 200 runs in 33 overs after Daryl Mitchell’s unbeaten knock of 93 took Northern Districts to 266 for 6 in their 50 overs.Clarkson struck three fours and three sixes in his 24-ball 48 and was ably supported by Rance, who hit a 19-ball stay of 32. This after some tight bowling from Ish Sodhi and Scott Kuggeleijn – both of whom picked up two wickets each – had Central Districts struggling at 123 for 7. Once Rance fell with Central Districts needing another 13 runs to win, Clarkson took over and finished the match with five balls to spare.Earlier in the day, Mitchell struck seven fours and four sixes in his 93. Dean Brownlie struck 47 and Nick Kelly hit 57 runs, but that proved to be not enough for Northern Districts. The win was Central Districts’ first of the season in three games.Inclement weather in Dunedin and Wellington meant the fixtures between Otago and Canterbury, and Wellington and Auckland respectively were washed out without a ball being bowled.

The National Selection Committee has announced a squad of 22 players for the training and fitness camps to be held in Quetta from July 10 to July 23, 2007. The camp in Quetta, second of the three camps organised to improve the players’ fitness levels, follows a disappointing tour of Scotland in which Pakistan’s both matches were rained off.The left-handed duo of Imran Farhat (opener) and Abdur Rehman (spinner) will join the squad as the only two new faces as 20 of the 22 players named were present in Abbottabad where the first camp was held.Talat Ali, the manager-cum-coach for the team’s tours to Abu Dhabi and Scotland, will be in charge of the camp while Haroon Rasheed, former Pakistan coach, and Aaqib Javed, coach of the National Cricket Academy, will serve as batting and bowling coaches respectively. With special emphasis on fielding, Mohtashim Rasheed, former first-class cricketer, has been appointed as fielding coach.The third and final camp is scheduled to take place in the coastal city of Karachi from July 25, 2007.Camp attendeesSalman Butt, Imran Nazir, Mohammad Hafeez, Imran Farhat, Mohammad Yousuf, Yasir Hameed, Misbah-ul-Haq, Naved Latif, Faisal Iqbal, Asim Kamal, Fawad Alam, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzak, Kamran Akmal, Mohammad Asif, Shoaib Akhter, Mohammad Sami, Umar Gul, Iftikhar Anjum, Najaf Shah, Abdur Rehman

Sir Ronnie Flanagan, the chairman of the ICC’s anti-corruption and security unit (ACSU), says that his body is close to signing a memorandum of understanding with the UK’s National Crime Agency that will enable a greater level of intelligence on cricket corruption to be shared between all police forces in the United Kingdom.”We have a whole series of ongoing investigations at the moment ranging across different countries so the benefit of the increased co-ordination are already being seen,” Flanagan told The Daily Telegraph.”We want MOUs with investigative bodies wherever world cricket is played. We have it already in New Zealand and Australia and we are in the final stages in drawing them up to be signed within the next month or so with South Africa, India and the National Crime Agency in the UK.”However, Flanagan denied that his unit needed to “regain the trust” of the players whom it is supposed to protect, in the wake of the Chris Cairns perjury trial in which leaked testimony from the current New Zealand captain, Brendon McCullum, formed one of the key pieces of evidence in the failed prosecution.Several players’ union spokesmen, including the outgoing head of the Professional Cricketers’ Association, Angus Porter, have said that the treatment of McCullum and other witnesses during that trial will make other players more reluctant to speak out about approaches in the future.However, Flanagan added that the ACSU is not a police force and therefore has limited investigative powers. Instead, he said, players needed to get the message that “we are their friend and here to protect them.””I don’t feel we have to regain trust,” he said. “At the recent World Cup the relationship we had was very positive and the feedback we had from teams was very positive too. It is a question of building on that and making the players realise we are there to protect them and that we are not there to snoop on them. We are there to protect players from the predators that would want draw them in.”The criticism of the ACSU during the Cairns trial centred on its failure to produce sufficient evidence to support the prosecution – it was said during the trial, by the former ICC intelligence unit general manager Ravinder Sawani, that the information it had collected went “beyond rumour”, yet very little of it was revealed in court. Cairns, who pleaded not guilty to two counts of perjury and perverting the course of justice, was acquitted last month after a nine-week trial at Southwark Crown Court.It was claimed in the same newspaper that the ACSU had examined 450 intelligence reports in 2015 alone, of which around 20 percent had originated from players and umpires. That represents a steady rise in reports over the past five years, with 70 being handled in 2009 and 281 in 2011.”It is very important that there is a recognition that we are not a police force, do not seek to be a police force and do not have the powers,” said Flanagan. “We cannot investigate members of the public. We can only investigate people within our remit, players in the international game as far as the ACSU is concerned, which is why it is so important to work hand in glove with colleagues in individual nations that have their own anti-corruption structures.”It is also key that we keep good relationships with other sports whether it be tennis, horse racing, rugby or soccer because I’m convinced the bad guys do not confine themselves to one sport.”Prevention, Flanagan believes, is as important a part of the unit’s work as investigation, and to that end, a new head of prevention is being appointed to improve its education programme, alongside a new director and co-ordinator of investigations, and a senior analyst.”The job of the head of prevention is to look at everything that goes on with educating players, make sure we are getting the best from that and bring it up to date,” said Flanagan. “I want to work with the players’ associations to make sure that our education programme is world class.”

The speculation over whether Brian Lara will turn up to play in the Indian Cricket League (ICL) continues. Contrary to what Gaurav Seth, head of marketing at ICL, said earlier this week, the latest news is Lara is to arrive over the weekend.This time around Seth played it safe and chose not to confirm Lara’s arrival sometime late Friday. “Hopefully Lara will arrive over the weekend,” said Seth, unable to get a confirmed date because he hadn’t spoken with Himanshu Modi, the ICL chief who had rushed to London few days ago to have another meeting with the West Indian legend. “Lara had his own concerns but they’ve been sorted out now.” According to Seth, Modi is on his way back to India and soon things would be made clear.Lara, listed as captain of the Mumbai Champs, one of the six squads that complete the ICL league, was supposed to arrive last weekend to join his team-mates for practice at the Western Railways ground. The second part of the ICL phase starts now with the practice games that commence from tomorrow at five centres across India. The Champs will play the first of their three practice games against Kolkata Tigers from tomorrow, sans Lara.With the extended delay of his arrival, rumours about Lara opting to play both ICL and the BCCI’s Indian Premier League (IPL), which is scheduled to start in the summer of 2008, were adding sweat to ICL management. Seth said he was not bothered about the IPL now that Lara has agreed to the new terms.”He [Lara] had some concerns regarding the contract he had signed originally and wanted to renegotiate certain terms,” said Seth.It’s only natural that Lara will try to come on his own terms now that he knows he is the biggest player with the biggest brand value in the ICL. If he opted out, the pressure would be right on the sponsors.

It is said that legspinners enjoy longevity in cricket, often playing far longer than other bowling practitioners, and for Australian Ted Martin that has been borne out this week.While there is conjecture over exactly what his date of birth was, Martin achieved centenarian status during the past week. Several authoritative sources claim that he was born today in 1902 but there are other claims that his birth date was September 26. Whatever it was, it is now official.Martin played only two first-class matches, one for Western Australia and one for an Australian XI.Playing against Douglas Jardine’s 1932-33 team at the outset of what became known as the “Bodyline tour”, he took six wickets in the opening match of the tour and on the basis of that performance was named in the Australian XI which also played in Perth and which included Don Bradman and Vic Richardson. He didn’t take any wickets in that match.Martin had been born in Bendigo but was moved west when his father followed the gold rush. Martin did not continue his cricket career beyond these matches and instead spent a professional career in accountancy.He does join a select group of players who have achieved 100 years. He’s not the first Australian to achieve the feat, although he is the only Australian first-class player. John Wheatley, who was born in Singleton, New South Wales, played his first-class cricket, 12 matches, for Canterbury in New Zealand. He died in Waimate, South Canterbury in 1962.The closest Australian previously had been New South Welshman Ray Bardsley who died in 1983 aged 99 years, five monthsThe known full list of players before Martin were:

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were out – Sri Lanka
How they were out – England

Sanath Jayasuriya showed his hunger for one-day cricket hasn’t dimmed with a match-winning display at The Oval. He struck a sublime 122 which, alongside crunching fifties for Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, powered Sri Lanka towards their impressive 319 for 8. While England had Kevin Pietersen there was hope but Jayasuriya struck the key blow in the 32nd over before returning to clean up two more, snuffing out any thoughts of a fightback and, in the process, sealing a 2-0 series lead.Some aspects of England’s play were improved from an effort at Lord’s that was sometimes shambolic, yet the margin of defeat was significantly larger. Steve Harmison was outstanding in his 10-over spell and the ground fielding lifted itself by a few notches – especially the fine catches held by Pietersen and Tim Bresnan. Promising partnerships between Pietersen and Ian Bell then Pietersen and Paul Collingwood shaped a hopeful run-chase but ultimately too much rested on to few.Not all the failings from Saturday were erased, either, with 33 extras being conceded including another criminally high 21 wides. In their current form, Sri Lanka are not a team that need a helping hand and they quickly showed their intent to climb all over England while they are down.Harmison’s early pace brought the wicket of Saturday’s hero, Upul Tharanga, but once Jayasuriya and Jayawardene had assessed the conditions – and found them to be very flat – they set their sights on doing serious damage to England’s bowling figures. Jayasuriya was the first to flick the switch and unleash a volley of rasping boundaries. Sajid Mahmood was brought back following a first two-over spell that cost 26 and proved even more expensive second time around as Jayasuriya put his foot down by taking 17 off Mahmood’s fifth over, including an effortless six over midwicket.Jayawardene lost nothing in comparison to his partner and his fifty was noticeably faster, taking just 50 balls. The partnership raced past 150 and ended in the only way that appeared likely – a mix-up between the batsmen. Jayasuriya ploughed on to his 20th one-day century off 122 balls and continued a fond acquaintance with The Oval after he first signalled his presence to English crowds with a double-century in the 1998 Test. Sangakkara ensured the momentum was never lost and, after a steady start, he showed his own repertoire of boundaries and raced to his half-century from 41 balls with a swing over midwicket off the struggling Mahmood.

Chasing more than a run a ball from the outset, England needed a rapid platform. Trescothick’s start hinted at the possibility of a Jayasuriya-style onslaught but, attempting a third four, he leant back on a drive and sliced a catch to backward point. With the more orthodox pair of Strauss and Ian Bell together the innings didn’t get the flyer that was needed to exploit the fielding restrictions.Strauss tried to hit over mid-on and only located Muttiah Muralitharan at mid-off but in many ways his dismissal opened up England’s best chance of staying in the game. Pietersen started positively with a couple of crunching cover drives – one from a short-of-length ball that was still rising – and a glorious lofted drive over mid-on off Ruchira Perera, whose first two over cost 21. Pietersen found his range and overcame a painful blow to the knee from Lasith Malinga to crunch a forehand smash off the same bowler. Bell was not overshadowed and slapped a stunning straight six off Chaminda Vaas as England upped the tempo.However, Malinga made the breakthrough for Sri Lanka when Bell top-edged a pull and found Muralitharan at mid-on. With the stand flourishing it was bad timing for England and Malinga had again proved a valuable go-to man for his captain. Pietersen, who eased past fifty off 48 balls, and Collingwood formed another sensible stand and were the ideal combination to bring the required mixture of singles and boundaries.But the day quickly turned into the story of one man of which so much has already been written on tour. Jayasuriya kept firing in his non-spinning, leg-stump bullets and Pietersen fatally showed his stumps as he missed an expansive sweep. Collingwood’s typically energetic half-century came off 55 balls but the task was becoming desperate. He fell to Jayasuriya’s quicker ball and Dalrymple went in similar style with a massive air shot.The last three wickets – varying degrees of laughable run outs – summed up proceedings. Sri Lanka have dominated the two matches from start to finish, England haven’t been at the races. It would be a brave person to put money on this series being alive into next week.

Eager to embark on his first Test series next month, Sri Lanka’s coach Trevor Bayliss has said it will be strange being on the opposite side of the fence while taking on Australia, his home country.”Everyone’s excited about Australia. For me, it will be strange having been involved with them for so long,” Bayliss told the . “But that’s just the nature of the game these days, and I can’t wait to be involved in my first Test match in this position.”Bayliss, 44, a former New South Wales batsman who went on to coach them, was appointed as Sri Lanka’s national coach for a two-year term beginning in August. His first one-day series ended in Sri Lanka going down 3-2 to England.Over the past few weeks, there has been debate in Sri Lanka’s political circle to overturn the selectors’ decision to drop Marvan Atapattu from the touring squad. But Bayliss hoped it won’t have a major impact on their campaign in Australia. “We have a captain in Mahela [Jayawardene] who I would put right up there with the Waughs and Mark Taylor as far as leaders go. The influence he has on his players is as great as anyone I’ve seen in the game. He has the complete respect of the players, and I’ve found him to be a quality bloke.”At the moment, I’m just learning about the system here. Over time, I will let the board know if I have any ideas about how to improve things.”Bayliss was optimistic about Sri Lanka’s chances against Australia, despite them having a poor record there – losing six of the eight Tests. He was also confident that Muttiah Muralitharan would be fit for the two-Test series, starting on November 8. “He’s obviously crucial to us, and we’re just trying to make sure he’s 100%.”Murali was ruled out of the one-dayers against England due to a bicep injury but is expected to make the tour to Australia, where he has a chance of breaking Shane Warne’s record as the leading wicket-taker in Tests.”Between him, Mahela and some of the veteran players, they have a very good idea of the strengths and weaknesses of the Australian players. I might be able to give a little bit more insight in terms of some of the guys I’ve coached, but for the most part, I think they’re in a really good position as it is.”Bayliss also said it had been difficult adapting to life in Sri Lanka. “The traffic, the smog, the food – it’s all very new to me. I still can’t shake the feeling at dinner time, ‘Is this the meal that’ll do me in?’. As any of my old team-mates will tell you, I love a good steak and potatoes, but now it’s getting used to the hot curries.”I have a new-found respect for the blokes over here, with the facilities they have to work with. Australians really don’t know how good they’ve got it. But our [Sri Lankan] guys get on the job with no complaints and, as we’ve all seen over the years, have done a tremendous job despite the massive challenges they face.”Meanwhile, Jayawardene denied he had told the chairman of selectors Ashantha de Mel that Atapattu had not supported him once he was made captain. “I didn’t make such comments. What I said was what I have been telling ever since I took over as captain,” Jayawardene said. “I have been telling that if we are getting a player back, the selectors need to tell him why he was dropped earlier. I definitely said so, but I never said that he [Atapattu] didn’t support me.”I told the selectors that we should speak to him and see how he feels because he is a damn good player.”

Shaun Tait will return from injury for South Australia’s Twenty20 match against Queensland at Adelaide on Wednesday, nearly a month after he was diagnosed with tendinosis of his left hamstring. Tait will be keen to impress at every opportunity, having been named in Australia’s preliminary 30-man World Cup squad.He will replace Gary Putland, who has strained his left quadriceps, in the Redbacks’ line-up. South Australia, who have only one win from their three games this season, have dropped Callum Ferguson and Paul Rofe, and included Simon Roberts and the batsman James Smith, 18, who has been rewarded for his outstanding form in Adelaide grade cricket.Brendan Nash has been called into the Queensland line-up as cover for their stand-in captain James Hopes, who is in the Australia squad to take on England at Sydney on Tuesday.New South Wales have stuck with their controversial selection of Andrew Johns, the rugby league player, for Wednesday’s match against Tasmania, despite the move contributing to their loss against South Australia on Sunday.The Blues, who are now out of contention for the KFC Twenty20 final, lost to the Redbacks after Simon Katich refused to put Johns on strike in the last over of their run-chase. But Cricket New South Wales maintained the decision to play Johns as a crowd-puller paid off, with 10,652 spectators flocking to the game at Newcastle.Nathan Hauritz will miss the game with a calf injury and has been replaced in the 12-man squad by Jarrad Burke, the top-order batsman who played all three Twenty20 games for the Blues in 2005-06. Tasmania, who have only one win on the board, have included Ben Hilfenhaus in their 13-man outfit, although his availability is uncertain after he was named in Australia’s Twenty20 squad.Western Australia, who travel to the MCG for a top-of-the-table clash with the Bushrangers, have made no changes to their line-up. Victoria’s 13-man squad includes Cameron White and Shane Harwood, both of whom could play in the match against England. The winner of the game at Melbourne should host the final on Saturday, although a big win for Queensland could see them take the honour.South Australia squad Daniel Harris, Darren Lehmann (capt), Mark Cosgrove, Nathan Adcock, Ken Skewes, James Smith, Graham Manou (wk), Ryan Harris, Trent Kelly, Dan Cullen, Simon Roberts, Shaun Tait.Queensland squad James Hopes (capt), Craig Philipson, Brendan Nash, Clinton Perren, Nathan Reardon, Aaron Nye, Michael Buchanan, Chris Simpson, Steve Paulsen, Chris Hartley (wk), Andy Bichel, Ashley Noffke, Nathan Rimmington.New South Wales squad Ed Cowan, Phil Jaques, Brad Haddin (wk), Simon Katich (capt), Daniel Christian, David Warner, Jarrad Burke, Dominic Thornely, Aaron O’Brien, Tim Lang, Scott Coyte, Andrew Johns.Tasmania squad Michael Di Venuto, Dane Anderson, Travis Birt, Daniel Marsh (capt), George Bailey, Michael Dighton, Tim Paine (wk), Adam Polkinghorne, Damien Wright, Xavier Doherty, Brendan Drew, Matthew Wade, Ben Hilfenhaus.Victoria squad Brad Hodge, Aiden Blizzard, Michael Klinger, Cameron White (capt), David Hussey, Robert Quiney, Andrew McDonald, Jon Moss, Adam Crosthwaite (wk), Shane Harwood, Gerard Denton, Mick Lewis, Darren Pattinson.Western Australia squad Luke Ronchi (wk), Shaun Marsh, Adam Voges, Marcus North (capt), Luke Pomersbach, David Bandy, Theo Doropoulos, Sean Ervine, Peter Worthington, Aaron Heal, Tim Macdonald, Ben Edmondson.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were out

Fresh from consigning England to their worst-ever defeat, Pakistan rubbed in the salt with a sparkling bowling performance which took them to a series win at Rawalpindi. It was their tenth victory in 11 ODIs but it was no easy task; a composed display from the bowling attack was required to hold off Kabir Ali and James Anderson’s last-gasp charge. They added 33.England had looked dead and buried at 114 for 8, chasing 211, but Ali added 50 for the ninth wicket and Ian Blackwell and then he and Anderson took England agonisingly close. In the end, though, Pakistan held their nerve to win by a slender 13 runs.They were always going to be up against it after an average showing from their batsmen. Inzamam-ul-Haq had been the mainstay of their innings, his unbeaten 81 taking Pakistan past 200, while Shahid Afridi added 34. But it was just enough.Poor old England, though – just when they thought their bowlers had restricted Pakistan to a realistic target, their batsmen narrowly failed to deliver. Andrew Flintoff top-scored with 40, and Ali posted an unbeaten 39.To be fair to both line-ups, the pitch was the trickiest of the series to date, but it was definitely a day which belonged to the bowlers. England’s attack were first up after Inzamam chose to bat. Pakistan were wobbling at 34 for 3, but Inzamam’s 82nd one-day fifty took them to 210, although this was still way short of his reckoning that 270 was par.While others around him struggled to cope with a turning pitch and some hostile England bowling, Inzamam was as laissez-faire as ever, easing the ball over midwicket, cover, straight – in fact, wherever he fancied – as he moved to an unbeaten 81.There weren’t quite the fireworks that Pakistan’s batsmen have been dishing up of late, in fact it was England’s bowlers who were the sparklers. Liam Plunkett removed their big hitters Afridi and Abdul Razzaq in successive balls to neutralise any danger of a big rearguard and his contribution was just one part of a convincing England bowling display – at long last.Flintoff and James Anderson got the ball rolling, and the wickets tumbling; their pressure caused three wickets to fall for no runs to leave Pakistan in some trouble. Salman Butt and Younis Khan fell in successive balls, then five balls later Kamran Akmal was back in the hutch, too, as Pakistan’s top order succumbed to the squeeze.Flintoff bowled a nagging line and length, and bristled with hostility, while Anderson – who was immediately upgraded from Supersub to opening bowler – proved a worthy foil, using the slower ball to good effect to deceive Akmal. Plunkett slipped in an offcutter later to scythe down Afridi and followed next ball with Razzaq’s wicket to puncture Pakistan’s momentum late on.England’s work was only just beginning though. Pakistan came strongly at them with the new ball as Rana Naved-ul-Hasan took two wickets in two balls to rock their top order and then Shoaib Akhtar followed up with the wicket of Vikram Solanki.In a double wicket maiden that rocked England, Naved got the ball to swing away and was twice rewarded for his efforts; causing Matt Prior to thick-edge through to the keeper and then trapping Andrew Strauss plumb first ball. It wasn’t long before Akhtar got his dues either, banging in a 94mph-belter which Solanki could only edge onto his stumps.

Flintoff and Marcus Trescothick set about repairing the innings, adding 45 for the fourth wicket. But their partnership was less than convincing against a polished Pakistan attack, and it wasn’t to last. Flintoff had a reprieve on 5, when his hooray to long leg had Kamran Akmal and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan careering towards each other on course for a collision. They missed each other, but also the catch.Yet it was England who were hurtling to the danger zone. Naved thought he had Trescothick on 9 – and so did the team, the crowd and the Snickometer. Even Trescothick appeared to concur, too, to judge by his guilty expression. But the umpire gave him a stay of execution.It wasn’t to last. He struggled against Arshad Khan’s first two deliveries – alarming rippers – and then he played the third for non-existent turn. It was a great bowling change after Naved had become a little wayward.If the wheels were coming off for one bowler, though, the entire bodywork of England’s batting was in a state of collapse. Flintoff was next to fall courtesy of another good change: Afridi coming into the attack to bolster the spin attack, and he trapped Flintoff in front. Then Geraint Jones capitulated to his legspin, popping up the easiest of chances to gully before Afridi made it three with Plunkett.England needed their tailenders to pull something really special out of the bag – and the final two pairings nearly delivered. Shoaib Malik came on to bowl the 48th over and had Anderson in some trouble against his spin. Anderson nurdled his way to his highest one-day total of 11 but then came the fall, as Akhtar dismissed him with one which the batsman could only fend to slip.With each member of Pakistan’s attack firing, it proved to be too tall an order and the teams will return here on Wednesday with only pride on offer for England.How they were out
