| Steyn 6-for helps SA bundle out Pakistan for 49 runs in 1st Test #PakvsSA Posted: 02 Feb 2013 06:00 AM PST
Pakistan’s previous lowest innings total was 53 against Australia in Sharjah in 2002. Steyn, the world leading paceman, recorded his best Test figures at home against a Pakistan batting lineup who were unable to cope with the pace and bounce of a lively Wanderers’ pitch. South Africa were dismissed for 253 after winning the toss and electing to bat with Pakistan off-spinner Mohammed Hafeez capturing a career-best four for 16. Steyn dismissed Hafeez in his first over of the day when the opener got a faint edge which went straight through to wicketkeeper AB de Villiers after failing to add to his overnight total of six.
Debutant Nasir Jamshed survived a television referral from Vernon Philander when the bowler was convinced he had him lbw, only for the replay to confirm the ball was going over the top. Two balls later, Steyn swung the ball into Jamshed (2) and trapping him in front. The batsman challenged umpire Billy Bowden’s decision, but this time Hawk-eye had the ball crashing into the leg stump. Veteran Younus Khan lasted just five balls before he pushed forward to a full Steyn delivery and edged to Graeme Smith at first slip without scoring. Forty-two dots ball in a row followed Younus’s dismissal as Azhar Ali and captain Misbah-ul-Haq tried simply to survive the South African onslaught. They managed to tentatively push the score on to 36 before Ali (13) received a vicious bouncer from Kallis that was headed for his throat. He tried to get his bat in the way, but could only fend the ball to De Villiers behind the stumps. Misbah (12) became Kallis’ second victim in controversial circumstances after Bowden gave a caught behind decision not out and South Africa reviewed. There appeared to be no evidence of a nick on the hot spot replay but third umpire Steve Davis from Australia chose to overturn the decision. The session got worse for Pakistan when Asad Shafiq (1) chased a wide delivery from Philander and succeeded only in edging to de Villiers for his fourth catch of the innings. Two balls later and a reckless Umar Gul (0) flayed at another wide delivery, the edge providing Graeme Smith with a comfortable catch in the slips. Saeed Ajmal lasted just two balls after lunch before he became Steyn’s fourth victim. The thick edge was flying to first slip but de Villiers produced a diving effort to take the catch. Steyn picked up his fifth wicket when he induced an edge from Sarfraz Ahmed that was much simpler for de Villiers, who equaled the South African record for most wicketkeeper dismissals in a Test innings held jointly by Mark Boucher and Dennis Lindsay The innings was completed when Rahat Ali edged to Faf du Plessis in the slips and was out for a duck. Steyn was once again the wicket taker.  |
| Preview : Australia vs West Indies, 2nd ODI, Perth 2013 #AusvsWI Posted: 02 Feb 2013 05:39 AM PST
On the other hand, West Indies, who were bundled out for a paltry 70 on a lively pitch, would be looking for a much better batting performance in order to put up any fight against the hosts. Moreover their first priority might as well be to play out the 50 overs if they bat first again. Speaking after the embarrassing defeat, Sammy had said he was confident his team could recover with four matches still to be played. “They came hard at us and we have to come back even harder,” said Sammy. “We have to bounce back and it is just the first game of a five-match series. It is just a one-off game. We will come back on Sunday and look to execute better.” West Indies would like allrounder Andre Russell to be fit after he missed the opener due to a knee injury.
The Aussie pace battery led by Mitchell Starc were effective and chances of including spin in the form of Xavier Dorhety looks very unlikely with part-timer Glenn Maxwell already in the team. The 24-year-old Victorian who made light work of the small chase of 70 by scoring a quick-fire unbeaten 51 feels that the West Indies cannot be taken lightly and with players like Chris Gayle in the team, they still are a dangerous proposition. “We were talking about it straight after the game, that any day (Chris) Gayle can turn it on and score 200 in a one-dayer and, all of a sudden, we are chasing 370 or 380,” Maxwell said. “They can flick it on and off like a switch. They’re a very dangerous side.” However, the visitors would be hoping that allrounder Andre Russell to be fit to play after he missed the opener due to a knee injury. The onus will also be on the middle-order comprising of talented Bravo brothers and the comeback man Ramnaresh Sarwan who was out for a duck in the first ODI. The WACA strip on a hot day will assist the pacers once again and Russell’s inclusion will bolster the visitors’ bowling line-up comprising of Kemar Roach and rookie Jason Holder, who put up a decent show on Friday. Probable XIs: West Indies: 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Kieron Powell, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Darren Bravo, 5 Dwayne Bravo, 6 Kieron Pollard, 7 Andre Russell/Sunil Narine, 8 Devon Thomas (wicketkeeper), 9 Darren Sammy (captain), 10 Jason Holder, 11 Kemar Roach.  |

| IPL 2013 : Chennai Super Kings may not bid for foreign players #IPL6 Posted: 01 Feb 2013 10:16 PM PST
Asked about continuing with the existing players in the CSK squad, Fleming said, “We would like to continue with the players. We associate with those quality players and develop them and plan our strategies. It is dangerous situation when you are looking for new overseas players as you will lose the fan base. “We want to develop our relations with the same players as they would have understood the needs of the team and the management. The fans expect consistency from the players and performance and we need to deliver that,” he said at the press conference for the Chennai Super Kings Super Cup, a local tournament for corporate clubs, to be organised by CSK. The former New Zealand captain said that CSK would be looking for a “local bowling leader”.
Asked if any of the players who played in IPL 2012 was found lacking in his performance, Fleming said, “We are to assist the players to perform. We do not get into situations like that. We make assessments every year. If we buy a player, we believe in them. “One area we address to is local bowlers options. We did not have the local bowling leader. We are trying to rectify that for the coming season. We are looking for young bowlers are will fit in to our thinking,” he said. Understandably, he refused to say much about how his franchise would go about in the players’ auction. “We are looking for consistency from players in coming season of IPL. We, as coaches, have a duty to help the players get better and that is the strength of CSK. The beauty of players’ auction is nothing is known before you actually buy a player. We may require to get the best of best players but you would never know how the auction goes. It is a close and dagger stuff. I cannot give you the details now,” he said. Asked about former Australia captain Ricky Ponting who would be up for grabs in Sunday’s auction, Fleming evaded the question, saying that his team has another Australian batsman Michael Hussey. “We have Michael Hussey in the team. He is sort of a permanent member of the squad. He has been of huge support due to his experience in world cricket. He is a cricket brain and a great cricketer,” said Fleming.  |
