| Preview: Australia vs England 1st ODI Lords 2012 Posted: 28 Jun 2012 11:01 AM PDT
The traditional rivals will face off in the first ODI at Lord’s and a confident England, who have recently trounced West Indies in the Test and ODI series, will now eye to maintain their winning streak. While on the other hand, Australia, with quite a few talented youngsters in their side, can pose a threat to the hosts Led by Alastair Cook, England start as favourites, but considering Australia's resilience, things won't be easy for the home team even in their own backyard.
Ian Bell and Cook come into the series with brilliant centuries against the West Indies. Moreover, Bell, who replaced Kevin Pietersen after his ODI retirement, will be a key player against the Australians. He scored 179 runs in two matches with an average of 89.50, which included a century and a fifty. In the absence of Pietersen, players like Ravi Bopara, Eoin Morgan, Jonathan Trott and Johny Bairstow provide a sense of solidarity to the English middle-order, but it's nothing like the quality Pietersen used to bring with him, especially in the swinging England conditions. The bowling department has been more consistent than England's batting in the last couple of years. Stuart Broad, James Anderson and Tim Bresnan are in prime form and will be a force to reckon with for the Aussie batting line-up. Add on the world's best offspinner Graeme Swann to the list and it wears an intimidating look. Australia would start their campaign coming from two big wins in their practice matches against county sides Leicestershire and Essex. However, the No.1 ODI team has won only 13 of their last 25 one-day matches and the main concern for the Aussies would be their batting in the absence of Michael Hussey and Ricky Ponting. That means the likes of Peter Forrest, George Bailey and Steve Smith will have to make their opportunity count. David Warner and Shane Watson as an opening pair can be deadly upfront with David Hussey, who has raised his stakes as a key limited-overs player for Australia with both bat and ball. On the bowling front also, Australia have nothing to worry with some proven performers like Ben Hilfenaus, Pat Cummins, James Pattinson and there are chances of a likely return of Mitchell Johnson. Probable XIs: Australia: 1 Michael Clarke (capt), 2 Shane Watson, 3 David Warner, 4 Steven Smith, 5 Peter Forrest, 6 David Hussey, 7 Mathew Wade (wk), 8 Pat Cummins, 9 Ben Hilfenhaus, 10 Mitchell Johnson, 11 James Pattinson  |
| We can’t force India into accepting DRS: ICC Posted: 28 Jun 2012 04:40 AM PDT
With India unrelenting in its opposition to the DRS, the ICC Board did not ratify the Chief Executive Committee’s recommendation for universal application of the DRS and the new Chief Executive Dave Richardson defended the decision. Addressing a press conference after taking over from fellow South African Haroon Lorgat, Richardson said he would not try to force India to accept the technology.
“I don’t think (the ICC Board decision is) negative at all. We’ll see DRS in the majority of series and there would be no sense in forcing anything upon anybody. The point is that the Board of Control for Cricket in India need to make that decision for themselves. It’s never good to take anyone kicking and screaming to do anything,” Richardson said. “The introduction of technology has always been controversial… but slowly but surely that’s changed and I think we’re pretty much at that point where everyone is accepting, certainly at international level,” he said. The ICC was left red-faced at its Annual Conference here when its chief executives proposed mandatory DRS in Tests and ODIs, only for the board to reject the move after India let it be known that it could not accept the technology. The issue was discussed by the ICC Board but was allowed to pass without voting. Richardson also denied that dealing with financially powerful India would be his main preoccupation as chief executive. “The bottom line is, the ICC board determines policy for the ICC going forward. I don’t think my job will involve any special negotiations with India. A lot is made of that but there are 10 full members and I think our task is a lot more simple and a lot more practical than these high-level talks you might imagine.” Richardson took up his post alongside new president Alan Isaac of New Zealand, who assumes the reins from India’s Sharad Pawar, at the conclusion of the five-day Annual Conference. The two will have to steer the sport through a tricky period as it tries to recover from spot-fixing scandals and rationalise the demands of its three competing formats. Outgoing chief executive Lorgat, who was also present at the press conference, warned against expecting quick progress towards the more contentious reforms, which will be discussed at the next board meeting in October. “I think it would be unfair of any of us to expect overnight change,” Lorgat said.

| Shane Warne slams ECB over Pietersen’s ODI retirement Posted: 28 Jun 2012 04:00 AM PDT
As a result Pietersen, the Man-of-the-Tournament when England won the World Cup Twenty20 in the Caribbean two years ago, is set to miss the defence of their title in Sri Lanka this September. He will also be absent from the upcoming one-day series against Australia and Warne, who captained Pietersen at county side Hampshire, said England had damaged themselves.
“Any team that hasn’t got Kevin Pietersen is significantly weaker,” Warne told the Independent. “He’s a match-winner so that’s a big loss. It staggers me and I’m very surprised that the ECB didn’t try and negotiate that better, drop their egos and say, okay we understand this, we want to keep our best players playing all the time.” He added: “I think it’s just a bit too much ego for my liking from the ECB. Who wouldn’t want Pietersen in your side? He’s a match-winner and he puts bums on seats because people love watching him play. His attitude rubs off on the rest of the players. So to me it’s a huge loss. More people might give up one-day cricket or they might give up Twenty20,” added the legendary legspinner, who contrasted Pietersen’s situation with that of Michael Clarke, the Australia captain. “Michael Clarke’s given up Twenty20 in Australia because he can’t play all three forms at that level, but you can’t imagine Australia dropping him and saying don’t worry about one-day cricket, just stick to Tests.” England play Australia in the first of five one-day internationals at Lord’s on Friday. Without Pietersen, an opener in limited overs cricket, England saw his spot filled by Ian Bell, who made a hundred and a fifty, and Alex Hales, who struck 99, in ODI and Twenty20 wins respectively over the West Indies this month. © AFP  |
| Alan Isaac elected as new ICC president Posted: 28 Jun 2012 03:32 AM PDT
The 60-year-old Isaac, a former New Zealand Cricket chief, became the eighth president of the ICC, while former South Africa wicket-kepeer David Richardson was confirmed as the new chief executive of the world body, taking over from Haroon Lorgat. Issac will be the last to hold the post in its current shape as it will become a ceremonial role once he steps down in 2014. Over the past two years, Isaac has been the ICC’s vice-president, a position that the body plans to abolish by amending the constitution. The amendment envisages the appointment of a chairman, who will hold office for two years, as the head of the ICC.
“When I look at the list of previous presidents, I am reminded of the importance of this office. In the midst of my pride at being chosen as president, I recognise that there is, of course, much hard work and much progress needed if we are to maintain the game’s current healthy state,” Isaac said. “I believe that the challenges ahead are no less daunting than those we have faced in the last two years if we are to maintain the vibrancy and viability of the three formats of the sport. We are fortunate as a sport — indeed unique — to have three different formats at international level. “We will all strive not only to preserve those formats but to build on their foundations. In that way the ICC will continue to oversee a great sport and we will all work to make it even greater. I look forward to serving the game with honesty and integrity and to the best of my ability. I look forward to handing on the guardianship of the sport with the game enjoying even greater health,” he said. Richardson, after being confirmed as successor to Lorgat who stood down after four years as the ICC chief executive, said, “It is a real honour to be confirmed as the ICC Chief Executive and I want to pay tribute to Lorgat. “I have learnt much in the last four years and I inherit a game in great health with much to be optimistic about. I look forward to building on that and tackling the challenges ahead,” Richardson, who played 42 Tests for South Africa and has been ICC’s general manager – for the last 10 years, said. Meanwhile, it was decided that necessary amendments to the ICC and IDI Articles of Association would be made to create the post of chairman, remove the role of vice-president and vary the role and powers of the president, all with effect from the close of the 2014 Annual Conference. The formalisation of these amendments will give effect to the principles agreed by the ICC Board earlier this year. Until the end of the 2014 Annual Conference, the role of the ICC president will remain in its current form, but from the end of the 2014 Annual Conference it will become ceremonial in nature with a term of only one year. A new role of chairman of the ICC and IDI Board will be created from the end of the 2014 Annual Conference. The term of office will be two years and the chairman will be appointed by the Board at its first meeting following the 2014 Annual Conference. Russia and Hungary were confirmed as new Affiliate members of the ICC but Switzerland was removed as an Affiliate member having been suspended at the 2011 Annual Conference for failing to comply with the ICC’s membership criteria and remaining unable to do so by the 2012 Annual Conference. There are now 106 members of the ICC. The ICC Annual Conference is made up of representatives of the 10 full members, 36 associate members and five affiliate regional representatives.  |
| West Indies A beat India A in the first unofficial ODI Posted: 28 Jun 2012 01:10 AM PDT
After being dismissed for 190, the Indians looked like pulling it off when they reduced West Indies to 158 for eight before a critical, unbroken 35-run stand between skipper Veerasammy Permaul and tail-ender Nikita Miller steered the hosts to victory without further loss with three balls to spare Wednesday, reports Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC). Man-of-the-Match Permaul, who was earlier chiefly responsible for restricting India’s score taking four wickets, was 22 not out while Miller chipped in with 12 to give West Indies a 1-0 lead in the series.
India, bowled out off the last ball of the innings after winning the toss, got a good start with Ajinkya Rahane top-scoring with 58 his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan getting 30. Manoj Tiwary (26) and Jalaj Saxena (22) were the only other batsmen to cross 20. Permaul’s four wickets with steady left-arm spin came for a measly 28 runs while seamers Jason Holder (2/30) and Jonathan Carter (2/41) chipped in with wickets at crucial stages. West Indies A lost Test opener Adrian Barath for five early in the run chase and fellow Test opener Kieran Powell followed soon (42/2) after hammering a brisk 25 off 24 balls with three fours. Out-of-form Test batsman Kirk Edwards then stroked 33 off 44 balls with two fours anda six to add 29 for the third wicket with Nkrumah Bonner (14). When Bonner perished at 71 for three, Edwards combined with top-scorer Jonathan Carter (39)to put on another 27. Edwards departed with the score on 98, paving the way for a 54-run, fifth wicket stand between left-handers Carter and Assad Fudadin. Carter faced 75 balls and hit two fours while Fudadin, who made his Test debut on the tour of England, scored 26 from 44 balls. Both fell in a slide that saw four wickets tumble for six runs before Permaul blasted a four and a six off 13 balls to see his side home. Fast bowler Ashok Dinda finished with three for 35 while 21-year-old seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2/14) and off-spinner Rohit Sharma (2/32) bowled steadily. Brief scores: India A 190 all out in 50 overs (Ajinkya Rahane 58, Shikhar Dhawan 30, Manoj Tiwary 26, Jalaj Saxena 22, Veerasammy Permaul 4-28, Jason Holder 2-30, Jonathan Carter 2-41) lost to West Indies A 193 for 8 in 49.3 overs (Jonathan Carter 39, Kirk Edwards 33, Assad Fudadin 26, KieranPowell 25; Ashok Dinda 3-35, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2-14) by two wickets.  |
| West Indies team anxious to rebound against New Zealand Posted: 28 Jun 2012 12:54 AM PDT
West Indies failed to beat England in a single match on a tough two-month tour, which ended Sunday, but Richardson said there was a hunger in the side to make amends, reports Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC). “There’s lots of sunshine here so the guys are going to enjoy that. We’re accustomed to the sun on our backs. I don’t believe the ball is going to move around as much as it did in England, so I think the guys will relish conditions here. It’s a little bit humid but it’s what we’re accustomed to,” Richardson, a former West Indies captain, said on Wednesday.
West Indies face New Zealand in the first T20 Saturday at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium before playing the second fixture the following day at the same venue. West Indies will thus play a bilateral series outside the Caribbean and Richardson says the team was upbeat about the prospect of playing before the large Caribbean diaspora in the Sunshine State. “There are a lot of West Indians here and they are backing us to do well. They have made their homes here in the United States and they still have West Indies in their hearts,” said Richardson. “As a team we really appreciate the kind words and we really want to win for them this weekend. “People might not know it but cricket is pretty big over here and this is a wonderful opportunity to win over more fans to West Indies cricket. This could be an added dimension to the game and could start something new.” Constructed at a cost of $70 million, the stadium was opened five years ago and hosted its first international matches when New Zealand and Sri Lanka met in a similar T20 double-header two years ago. Richardson, who played in a celebrity tournament at the venue in 2008, praised the facilities and said the team was looking forward to getting on to the pitch. “It is great to see the game coming to America. We have been very impressed with the facility – the practice pitches have been good, the outfield is in immaculate condition and the players are quite comfortable,” he said. (IANS)  |
