| Cheteshwar Pujara is a complete Test batsman, says Sunil Gavaskar Posted: 23 Nov 2012 10:15 AM PST
Pujara yet again batted splendidly as he struck an unbeaten 114 to lift India to a respectable 266 for six on day one after being reduced to 119 for five at one stage. “He’s a terrific player. He has shown that he is a complete Test batsman. After the Ahmedabad Test, he has shown his mettle and he’ll be able to do it in abroad as well,” Gavaskar said. “The way he build up his innings shows that his temperament is terrific ans it is temperament which separates men from boys,” Gavaskar told NDTV. Batting at crucial number three position, Pujara had remained unbeaten in the first Test as well as he scored a double hundred and 41 in India’s nine-wicket win.
India’s top order struggled today on a turning track but Gavaskar said it was a bit worrisome but there was no need to panic. “If in two Test matches it happens, you start to think what’s going wrong. It’s not as if they have failed. Look Sehwag is coming into this match with a hundred. It’s difficult wicket to bat, there was a lot of spin which is expected in Mumbai. “When acknowledged batsmen do not get runs, you worry a bit for sure,” he said. More PTI AT “I think they (India) are playing mind games with England. You saw Ishant Sharma marking his run up in the morning which suggested that India will play with two seamers and two spinners. But at the toss you find Harbhajan Singh is playing. “It’s just the kind of wicket Harbhajan needed. With Ashwin and Harbhajan there nobody (England batsman) is going to relax. It will benefit the Indian team,” Gavaskar said. It’s after a long time that India are fielding three frontline spinners in the side and Gavaskar said earlier Indian pitches did not have much for the fast bowlers, so spinners came into attack early.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Monty Panesar delighted with the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar (Prince of India) Posted: 23 Nov 2012 09:45 AM PST
“Obviously for me it has got to be the prince of India, Sachin Tendulkar. I was absolutely delighted with that,” said Panesar, who pushed India on to the backfoot by sending back Virender Sehwag and Tendulkar in the space of 11 balls before the hosts fought back in the last session. This was the third time that Panesar had dismissed Tendulkar. Previously it was at Nagpur in 2006 and at Lord’s in 2007. Panesar, who ended with the figures of four for 91 in 34 overs, said he had worked hard with England bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed to get his action right and that paid rich dividends at the Wankhede stadium here today. “During the practice session I have worked quite a lot with Mushy bhai in trying to get my action right. The previous ball, I remember, I got my action slightly wrong and dropped it. The next ball, I thought, I have to make sure that I get all the process I worked with Mushy bhai right. It seemed to click,” said Panesar.
“I got my action right and got my fingers nicely around the ball. These kinds of things obviously work and it came out nice. Mushy bhai has been valuable for us. He has played a lot of cricket in the subcontinent. He understands the rhythm of the game out here and he helps us — me and Swanny (Graeme Swann) — a lot to understand the type of cricket that Indians play out here. “And you have got to adjust to that, adjust to the conditions, to the heat, to the crowd noise. All of that comes into play when you are a spin bowler. You have to adjust to the flamboyant shots that they play and accept that and keep bowling the next ball,” he added. Panesar was confident that his team could restrict the hosts, who ended the first day today at 266 for six, to 300 tomorrow morning. “They (Ravichandran) Ashwin and (Cheteshwar) Pujara obviously built a good partnership. So what we are hoping is to restrict them to 300 tomorrow morning, and that will be good for us. That kind of partnership has obviously given the momentum to India but overall I don’t think they expected us to dominate the first two sessions like that. “I thought we struck really well out there. We, especially, applied lot of pressure early on Indian batters, it was something that the Indian team didn’t expect. They won the toss and thought they would only have a few wickets down with may be 300 plus score. But we as a team put pressure on them, and having five wickets down early on is a testament on how we applied pressure to the team out there,” he explained. Stating that there was a plenty of turn in the wicket, Panesar said, “Me and Swanny both provided each other a good platform. They have already played a Ranji trophy match there so the wicket is already been used. There is obviously turn and bounce in the wicket. They have prepared a pitch, on which a four-day match (Ranji Trophy tie between Mumbai and Railways) was played on, so they have prepared a pitch that is going to turn and bounce. “Bowling at all these world class cricketers, I probably will need every help down in the pitch to get them out and that obviously helped me. Those are the kind of balls you need to bowl at these players to get them out. They are very good players in their own conditions.” . Panesar, who was brought on to bowl his first over after just six overs of pace, said he enjoyed bowling with a hard ball. “I have got various responsibilities with the new ball and sometimes you have to do holding role, sometimes I do attacking role. I just want to do them to the best I can and try and get the best for the team out there. “I knew there was an option where the captain may want to use me with the new ball and I was kind of prepared for that. It is something that I quite enjoy. It is something new that I have gone into but I do enjoy bowling with new ball. I have obviously had the experience in the Pakistan series in Dubai, when I bowled with the new ball,” said the bowler. The spinner, who was surprisingly omitted from the opening game that England lost in Ahmedabad, said he was certainly upset at not having played in the series opener. “Obviously there was a slight disappointment I didn’t play, but I am happy to be playing in this match. It would have been nice to play but I am delighted to be playing this one,” said Panesar.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Cheteshwar Pujara, Ashwin guides India to 266-6 on Day 1 of 2nd Test #IndvsEng Posted: 23 Nov 2012 05:29 AM PST
Scorecard | Day 1 Highlights 2nd Test Pujara, who had scored a double century in the first match, notched up his third Test century to remain unbeaten on 114 on a turning track at the Wankhede Stadium and steered the hosts to a far more comfortable 266 for six at close on an eventful opening day. Pujara found an able ally in Ravichandran Ashwin (60 batting) as the duo put on unfinished 97-run partnership for the seventh wicket to bail them out after the hosts were reeling at 119 for five at one stage. Barring Pujara and Ashwin, none of the batsman in the star-studded line-up could make an impression on a track that started turning from the second session onwards and which was exploited by left-arm spinner Monty Panesar who claimed four wickets.
Coming to the crease after the second ball dismissal of Gautam Gambhir, the 25-year-old Pujara kept one end going by showing superb judgement against the spinning ball to pull India out of a deep hole after the home team opted to bat first on winning the toss. Pujara stayed for just over six hours in which he had faced 279 balls and struck ten fours. Ashwin faced 84 for his valuable knock. Pujara came into the game on the back of his unbeaten knocks of 206 and 41 in the two innings of the opening Test at Ahmedabad, which fetched him the Man of the Match award and paved the way for his team’s comprehensive nine-wicket victory. Panesar, who took four for 91 by the end of the day’s day, was played with a lot of assurance by Pujara. It was the Rajkot-born youngster’s third 100-plus knock in his last four Test matches, having scored a maiden century (159) against New Zealand in August. Pujara, who has been dismissed only in the warm-up game for Mumbai A after making 87, continued to prosper against the visitors with his exemplary concentration and shot selection. He gave one chance, when on 60, when he edged Panesar but James Anderson could not latch on to it. When on 94, England needlessly appealed against him for a catch at midwicket, which was referred to the third umpire and the replays showed the ball had bounced in front of the short leg fielder. The early part of the day belonged to England who sent back Gambhir (4), Virender Sehwag (30) — in his 100th Test — Sachin Tendulkar (8), Virat Kohli (19) and Yuvraj Singh (0). Barring Gambhir and Yuvraj, who fell to Anderson and Graeme Swann, the others were dismissed by Panesar. Pujara and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who mixed caution with aggression before becoming Panesar’s fourth victim for 29, put on a partnership of 50 runs in 128 balls. England’s hopes of slicing through the Indian tail, though, came to naught with Ashwin scoring his second fifty. With some more batting to come in the form of Harbhajan Singh — drafted into the eleven as the third spinner after more than a year’s gap — Zaheer Khan and Pragyan Ojha, India would fancy their chances of taking the score past 300. In the morning and soon after lunch, England applied the screws on India and made the hosts struggle on a turning track on which the ball gripped the surface and also bounced. Panesar, who was left out of the first Test, was the destroyer-in-chief, with a splendid spell of 23 overs on either side of lunch for the wickets of Sehwag, Tendulkar and Kohli before coming on for another spell for the wicket of Dhoni. Anderson and off-spinner Swann packed off Gambhir (4) and Yuvraj (2) in two balls apiece. Gambhir, who flicked Anderson to midwicket off the first ball, missed the next to be rapped in front. After pushing India on the back foot in the pre-lunch session, England continued the good work with a two-wicket burst in successive overs in the first hour of the post-lunch session. Panesar, who sent back Sehwag and Tendulkar in successive overs before lunch, got his third victim by dismissing Kohli. After disturbing the stumps of Sehwag and Tendulkar with sharply turning balls, Panesar induced Kohli to attempt a drive with a ball that drifted in and turned big on pitching to take the leading edge for Nick Compton to bring off a good diving catch. Kohli had cover-driven the left-arm bowler and his spin partner Swann for attractive boundaries in successive overs before he was lured by the crafty Sikh. The slow bowler made the ball drift in to the right-handers and extracted sharp turn off the track. He could have had the confident-looking Pujara too when the batsman, batting on 60 in a team score of 135 for five, edged the bowler to the left of Anderson who could not latch on to the catch at short gully. Had it been taken India would have been in deeper trouble. Prior to this slice of luck Yuvraj, who made 74 on his Test comeback in Ahmedabad, had departed for a second-ball duck, clean bowled by Swann. Swann had been brought on for a new spell by skipper Alastair Cook soon after the left-hander arrived at the crease, and the move paid off. The hosts lost these two wickets in successive overs for the addition of just one run to be tottering at 119 for five and the loss of Pujara, easily the best Indian batsman against the turning ball in this match, would have been a major blow to their hopes of putting up a fighting total. Dhoni came to the crease and started to attack the two spinners with his drives and cuts. He was lucky on 22 in a score of 149 for five when he stepped out against Swann, missed a big heave but luckily the ball clipped the top of his pad and got deflected before wicketkeeper Matt Prior could stump the batsman. Dhoni was later out, caught off the gloves in the close-in cordon, off Panesar. Pujara and Ashwin, however, held fort. Even the second new ball, taken after 80 overs, did not benefit England. Pujara pulled Anderson for a four to complete his 100 in 248 balls, before Ashwin struck the bowler for three fours in an over to race to 50 in 67 balls. The off-spinner has hit a century at this ground an year ago, against the West Indies.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Marlon Samuels double ton put West Indies in command on Day 2 of 2nd Test Posted: 23 Nov 2012 05:15 AM PST
The 31-year-old Jamaican notched his maiden double century, putting on a 326-run stand for the third wicket with Darren Bravo (127) and another 177 for the fourth wicket with Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who ended the day 109 not out. Denesh Ramdin finished not out on four. The run-feast gave the West Indies a healthy 177-run lead over Bangladesh’s first innings total of 387 — a position of strength from where they will look to force a series win after taking the first Test in Dhaka by 77 runs.
Samuels thrived on a lifeless pitch before being caught at point off a rising delivery from paceman Rubel Hossain, falling just one short of Ramnaresh Sarwan’s 261 not out — the highest by a West Indian batsman against Bangladesh — made at Kingston in 2004. The right-handed batsman hit 31 fours and three sixes during a dominating 455-ball knock. The seasoned Chanderpaul was not left far behind, as he reached his 27th Test hundred in the dying moments of the day when he steered spinner Sohag Gazi for a single towards mid-off, following up on his 203 not out in the first Test. The 146-Test veteran has so far hit ten fours and a six off 206 balls. The Samuels-Chanderpaul stand also improved the previous best for a fourth wicket against Bangladesh, erasing the 176-run stand involving Samuels and Sarwan in Dhaka ten years ago. Samuels survived a confident leg-before shout off paceman Hossain’s first over after lunch before steering the same bowler for a single to complete his double hundred. Earlier, Samuels and Bravo continued to punish the hapless Bangladeshi bowlers after the West Indies resumed at 241-2. Bravo hit Hossain for two boundaries in one over for his scored to enter the 90s before taking a couple and a single to complete his fourth Test hundred. In the last over before lunch, Bravo was adjudged leg-before off spinner Gazi as he tried to cut the ball, which hit the pad first and then the bat. Bravo hit ten boundaries during his 288-ball innings. Bangladeshi bowlers were found wanting on the slow track and their problems were compounded by edges falling short and a dropped catch in the slips by Naeem Islam off paceman Abul Hasan when Samuels was on 117. Samuels took full advantage of the lapse and bettered his previous highest Test score of 123, which he made against New Zealand in Kingston earlier this year. Gazi and Hossain finished with two wickets apiece.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Graeme Smith smashes ton, keeps South Africa alive on Day 2 of 2nd Test Posted: 23 Nov 2012 01:42 AM PST
Scorecard | Day 2 Highlights 2nd Test With Australia’s bowlers toiling fruitlessly on a flat wicket during the heat of the day, the South Africa captain nudged his team steadily forward but opener Alviro Petersen and Hashim Amla suffered brain-fades to lose their wickets. Having raised his 26th Test century, the barrel-chested skipper was unbeaten on 111, with Jacques Rudolph on 25. Resuming on 117-0, Petersen added 21 runs with Smith after tea but their partnership was broken by a poorly judged attempt at a single and a sprightly 37-year-old in Mike Hussey.
After driving spinner Nathan Lyon to mid-on, Petersen swerved to avoid Smith down the pitch and was a few centimetres short of safety when Hussey swooped and threw down the stumps with a direct hit. Having been frustrated by the pair for more than a session, the Australians celebrated wildly as Petersen trudged off, having eased off in his dash to the crease, thinking he was safely home. Australia were convinced they had their second wicket four overs later when Smith was given out caught behind when on 78, but the decision was over-ruled after video review, leaving paceman James Pattinson biting his lip in frustration. The reprieve was Smith’s second in his innings after he survived a stumping chance on 46 when wicketkeeper Matthew Wade fumbled a Lyon delivery behind the stumps with the Proteas skipper well out of his crease. Wade later made amends when Amla charged out of his crease against part-time leg-spinner David Warner, only to be beaten for flight and have the bails whipped off. Smith marched resolutely forward and sliced Lyon to the fence to complete a morale-boosting and no-nonsense knock of 12 boundaries, in contrast to the fireworks of Australia captain Michael Clarke and David Warner on day one. KEY WICKET Amla’s dismissal for 11 brought in Rudolph, taking Jacques Kallis’s fourth spot in the order to relieve the burly all-rounder, who suffered a hamstring strain when bowling on the opening day. Rudolph survived the last over from Lyon, and he and Smith strode off with South Africa still trailing by 333 runs. The tourists, flayed by Australia’s batsmen on the opening day, earlier rattled through the last five wickets for 68 runs to dismiss the hosts shortly before lunch. Paceman Morne Morkel starred with three wickets in the morning session to finish with 5-146, claiming the key wicket of Australia captain Michael Clarke for 230. However, Pattinson and Lyon frustrated the tourists with a feisty last-wicket stand of 46 before the former was out for a quick-fire 42, nicking an edge to Smith, who took his fourth catch at first slip to bring the innings to a close. Clarke and Wade resumed on Friday with the score at 482-5, but were soon on the back foot with Morkel steaming in and bowling a fuller length. Clarke struck his 40th boundary but added only six runs to his overnight total before being bowled by Morkel, the Australia captain then leaving the ground to a standing ovation. Peter Siddle flicked a boundary off his pads to raise Australia’s total past 500, but the lanky Morkel had Wade caught behind by AB de Villiers for six with a fuller delivery. Rory Kleinveldt grabbed his first wicket when he had paceman Siddle nick to Smith in the slips, but had a nervous wait as the decision was referred to a lengthy no-ball review. Morkel celebrated his fifth wicket when Ben Hilfenhaus attempted a hook that ended with a thick edge to Kleinveldt at deep backward square leg.  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Cricket Club of India felicitates Sachin Tendulkar on 75th anniversary celebrations Posted: 22 Nov 2012 10:50 PM PST
The 39-year-old became nostalgic at a function here on Thursday as he recollected his memories of the facility that shaped his formative years in the game. “It is a special occasion. Whenever I come to CCI, I feel special. Thank you for the love and affection, it really means a lot to me. I remember my association with CCI started, when I was playing school cricket. I played Harris Shield finals here. I was playing cricket at Shivaji Park,” Tendulkar said at the ceremony here. CCI changed its rules to allow the then 14-year-old cricketer to use its dressing room when he featured in local tournaments in the late 1980s.
“I happened to play against CCI, against (Madhav) Apte, and even Raj bhai (Raj Singh Dungarpur) was there and I got some runs against CCI. I was maybe 13 or 14. That is when the decision was taken to have me play at CCI. But under-18 were not allowed in dressing room and I was only 13 or 14,” he recalled. “Thanks to Raj bhai and Apte for allowing me to be in the dressing room. From there on things started looking a bit different for me in cricket. I remember when we played Australia here and then Mumbai and we won convincingly, a fantastic moment for a Mumbaikar. “The best moment was when we played IPL, just the energy of this ground, it is so positive. I thoroughly enjoyed that season. I have come across so many guys who have got not much to do with cricket but just to feel the club and feel the ambiance,” he added. Tendulkar described CCI as a “positive and invigorating” facility. “…I hope you continue to get better because you are the best. I want to thank CCI for this wonderful gesture,” he said at the event.”  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
