Pakistan whitewash England with a thumping win in 3rd Test

Posted: 06 Feb 2012 01:30 PM PST


Pakistan’s bowlers sealed an emphatic 71-run win in the third and final Test against England on Monday; inflicting a 3-0 series whitewash humiliation in the process.

Set a daunting 324-run target, England were bowled out for 252 with paceman Umar Gul taking 4-61 and off-spinner Saeed Ajmal (4-67) to help Pakistan achieve a first-ever Test clean sweep against their opponents.

With the ball turning again it was always a difficult task for England’s batsmen, who have been unable to play the Pakistani spinners throughout the series, on a weary fourth day pitch at Dubai Stadium.

Pakistan won the first Test by ten wickets and the second by 72 runs in Abu Dhabi.

Pakistan have also become the first team to win a Test after being bowled out for under 100 since 1907 when England, shot out for 76, beat South Africa at Leeds.

It was England’s seventh series whitewash, their first at the hands of Pakistan. Pakistan have now recorded five series whitewashes, their last coming in a 3-0 win over Bangladesh in 2003.

England’s last series whitewash came in 2007 when they were routed by Australia 5-0.

So dominating have been Pakistanis spinners that Ajmal finished the series with 24 and Rehman with 19.

England, 89-2 at lunch, were still in with a chance with Alastair Cook (49) and Kevin Pietersen (18) batting well but they lost four wickets in the space of 84 runs. They went to tea at 173-6.

Pietersen, who struggled for runs in the series, hit Abdul Rehman for a boundary and then hoisted him for a six to post England’s 100. But Ajmal struck from the other end.

The off-spinner produced a beautiful delivery to bowl Pietersen through the gate for 18. He had a mere 67 runs for the series during which he was out to spinners on five occasions.

In his next over, Ajmal produced another sharp turning delivery which caught the edge of Cook’s bat and was smartly held by a diving Younis Khan in the lone slip.

Ian Bell (10) and Eoin Morgan (31) added 37 for the fifth wicket but again failed to produce a big score in the series as Gul dismissed them in the space of just three runs.

Pakistan took the second new ball at 196-6 and the first ball saw Gul dismissing Stuart Broad (18) and then Graeme Swann on one.

Matt Prior remained not out at 49 when Monty Panesar was dismissed by Rehman for nine.

England had looked for big partnerships after resuming at 36-0 but that never transpired.

Pakistan could have wrapped the match earlier had they not dropped two crucial catches, the first off Strauss on 26 when wicket-keeper Adnan Akmal grassed a simple chance off Gul.

But that didn’t hurt Pakistan as Rehman trapped England captain in the very next over. Strauss challenged the decision by Australian umpire Steve Davis but his review failed.

Gul then let off Cook at 24 when he failed to hold a top-edge sweep off Rehman.

Cook had also benefited from a dropped catch on Saturday when Taufiq Umar let him off in the third slip off a miscued drive off Gul when he was four.

Ajmal then broke a dangerous looking 37-run stand between Cook and Jonathan Trott (18) by forcing a top-edge sweep which was smartly snapped up by Rehman at square-leg.

The teams will now play four one-day and three Twenty20 internationals.

Misbah: Wonderful performance from the team. I just can’t explain this in words. This victory means a lot to us. After getting out for 99, no one thought we had a chance but this team has been doing that for the last year and a half. Abdur Rehman bowled splendidly to restrict England. Younis Khan and Azhar Ali batted superbly and that was the difference. The key for Test cricket is discipline. That is what we have been discussing and trying to do. We have to learn more things. We play a lot of cricket in Asia. We have to learn to play well outside Asia too. I think this team can do it. I think Mohsin Khan did a wonderful job. We love the way we performed with him. The final decision will have to be taken by the board. This crowd proved that they love Test cricket and I thank them for being here.

Andrew Strauss: I’m a little surprised that we did not get a lot of big scores in the series. We have to give credit to Pakistan. You don’t become a good side overnight and you don’t become a bad one overnight either. The obvious thing we have to do is get bigger scores and play a spin better. We’ll have to work on it before the ODI series and the tour of Sri Lanka. The tone is set in the way we played in the first game. I have faith in all the cricketers. Things will get harder and we’ll have to work hard before the ODI series. We had a really good opportunity to take the game by the scruff of the neck but we were not able to nail home the advantage. Adapting to the conditions is something that we should work on individually. It’s kind of hard to leave the side now but I’ll have to do my work before the Sri Lanka series. We’ve not been in the business of chopping and changing. I thank the supporters for coming out and supporting us throughout.

Ajmal: I’m very happy to win the Man of the Series award against the No 1 side in the world. Abdur Rehman supported me a lot and he bowled very well. I’m enjoying my cricket a lot.

Saeed Ajmal is the Man of the Series for picking 24 wickets in the series.

Azhar Ali: I’m ecstatic. When you score runs and your team wins, it gives a lot of satisfaction. The last two innings have helped my confidence a lot and I would like to improve myself. It’s a great unit. I would like to thank the captain, the coach and everyone back home. It’s a great team effort.

Azhar Ali is the Man of the Match for his marathon knock of 157.

Hilfenhaus replaces injured Lee for Tri-Series

Posted: 06 Feb 2012 07:45 AM PST


Australia called up swing bowler Ben Hilfenhaus on Monday to replace injured paceman Brett Lee for the one-day international against Sri Lanka.

Hilfenhaus was instrumental in Australia’s Test whitewash of India, where he was the top wicket-taker with 27 scalps for an average 17.22, and selectors said he would stand in for Lee at Friday’s one-dayer in Perth.

“The bowling attack for Perth is likely to be the same as the one that did so well in Melbourne and Ben will be in Perth to provide cover,” said national selector John Inverarity.

Lee has been ruled out of action for up to six weeks after fracturing the little toe of his right foot when he was struck by a ball against India in Friday’s Twenty20 in Melbourne.

Australia opened the tri-nation ODI series with a convincing 65-run win over India on Sunday. India meet Sri Lanka on Wednesday and Australia and Sri Lanka square off on Friday.

Inverarity said Mitchell Marsh, who stepped in for the then appendicitis-afflicted Lee in Australia’s ODI series against South Africa in October, had also been confirmed for Sunday’s ODI against India.

Marsh, 20, has been playing domestic fixtures in his native Perth.

Rob Nicol guides New Zealand to seal series with big win

Posted: 06 Feb 2012 07:40 AM PST


A powerful 146 off 134 balls by opener Rob Nicol led a New Zealand batting onslaught which produced 372 for six in the second one-day international against Zimbabwe in Whangarei Monday.

Nicol, who lasted until the 48th innings, produced the fifth highest New Zealand one-day innings as he clouted the cream of the Zimbabwe bowlers around the ground in an innings which produced 10 fours and six sixes.

After rain delayed the start of play from 35 minutes, New Zealand made a cautious start, surviving two maiden overs before Nicol started the scoring with an unorthodox slog which resulted in a top edge over slips for four.

But his innings, his second century in only his fifth ODI, was near chanceless after that, as he stood in a 131-run partnership with Martin Guptill (77) for the first wicket.

Nicol was prepared to let Guptill lead the way and also propped up his end as the hard-charging Jacob Oram (59) and Brendon McCullum (20) came and went at the other end.

But when New Zealand were four down for 261 with nine overs remaining, Nicol let rip, racing from 94 to 146 over the following eight overs before he was caught at deep midwicket by Shingi Masakadza off Prosper Utseya.

Utseya was the most successful of the Zimbabwe bowlers, taking three for 71 off his 10 overs in an innings where the tourists were made to pay dearly for fielding lapses.

Their woes began when Oram, on 45, skied the ball towards mid-off where Elton Chigumbura was slow to react and his desperate dive was too short and too late.

Oram added another 14 before Hamilton Masakadza dismissed him two overs later, ending a whirlwind innings in which the big New Zealander scored 59 off 28 deliveries.

Hamilton Masakadza also had McCullum dropped by Kyle Jarvis on four and the New Zealand skipper went on to make 20, while Tom Latham was given a life on 14 by Stuart Matsikenyeri and was eventually dismissed for 48.

New Zealand won the first match in the series in Dunedin on Friday by 90 runs with the third and final game in Napier on Thursday.

Nicol: There was some bounce on this wicket early on. I hung in there and it became easier to bat on. Guptill and Oram played really well.

Rob Nicol is the MoM for his century. He also took the wicket of Taibu.

Brendon McCullum: The pitch was excellent to bat on. It was a complete performance. Oram was great with both bat and ball.

Brendan Taylor: We were outplayed by a better side in all three departments of the game. We don’t have much time for the next game but we are trying to improve with every game. The guys have struggled with the bat so good to see a few contribute today.
