ScorecardTwo consecutive days of rain meant Bangladesh A escaped with a lucky draw against Maharashtra Cricket Association XI in Pune. The fourth day’s play was also washed out without a ball being bowled, as the hosts finished with a lead of 293 after bundling out Bangladesh A for 81.The next match is scheduled to be played at the same venue from Thursday.
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsCameron White’s 116-ball hundred followed his half-century at The Oval•PA Photos
Cameron White scored his maiden international hundred, and Michael Clarke signed off as captain with a sheet-anchor 52 from 92 balls, as England’s under-performing batsmen were taught an object lesson in how to pace a run-chase in the third ODI at the Rose Bowl. Chasing 229 under the floodlights after losing the toss for the third time in the series, White and Clarke added 143 for the third wicket to steer Australia to a comfortable six-wicket victory with nine balls remaining, and secure a virtually unassailable 3-0 lead with four matches of the NatWest Series still to come.Though England’s bowlers put up something of a fight with the ball, the match was lost during another inadequate performance from the batsmen, in which Andrew Strauss, once again, was the only redeeming feature. Australia lost both openers early in their chase, and at 56 for 2 after 15 overs, it looked as though they might be forced to struggle for the ascendancy. But whereas England’s batsmen produced five partnerships worth between 34 and 41 runs – a stat that perfectly encapsulated the wastefulness of their performance – the Aussies needed just one hefty alliance to make the game safe.For differing reasons, White and Clarke had plenty to prove in tonight’s contest – the return of Ricky Ponting for Saturday’s fourth ODI will require White to relinquish his No. 3 spot, and Clarke to hand back the captaincy. But both men ensured that the skipper will return to a steady ship after silencing a full house at The Rose Bowl with a performance that was light on fireworks but brimful of determination. Clarke contributed a solitary boundary to a stay that spanned 30 overs, which also happened to be his last shot before being bowled by Graeme Swann one ball later, and while questions remain about his lack of impetus in the middle-order, tonight is not the night for quibbling.Instead, it is a night for White to celebrate his arrival on the international stage. Having never batted higher than No. 5 before this series, today’s 116-ball hundred followed on from his maiden half-century in the first match at The Oval, and whereas England’s skittish batsmen have continually found new and innovative ways to squander their promising starts, he belied his reputation as a biffer to set himself a platform and, then, crucially, to build on it.His only error with the bat came on 92, during Australia’s Powerplay, when Tim Bresnan fluffed a skier at long-on – and while the bowler, James Anderson, was not best pleased at that let-off, Anderson himself had earlier been guilty of letting White off the hook with two run-out chances – the first an underarm shy from five yards that somehow missed the stumps with the batsman on 46, and later a failure to break the stumps with White on 70, and floundering for the crease having worked a single into the leg-side.There was no panic at any stage of Australia’s performance, however. They claimed the Powerplay at 154 for 2, with 66 balls of the chase remaining and 75 runs still needed, whereupon White drilled Sidebottom over mid-on for their first six of the series. His own contribution ended with nine runs still required, when he scudded a Luke Wright slower ball to mid-off, but Callum Ferguson and Michael Hussey ensured there were no late dramas.And so England were left to rue another day in keeping with their performances all year, in which their fortunes were dictated entirely by their captain. Having won his third toss of the series under overcast skies, Strauss might well have been tempted to bowl first, were it not for the memory of the failed run-chases that England compiled in the first two matches at The Oval and Lord’s. This time, he took it upon himself to set the agenda personally, and at first he did so to fine effect. Though he did not open his account until his 11th delivery of the innings, he then climbed into Brett Lee with three fours in a row – a pull, a cut and a drive, the three staples of his international diet – en route to a 60-ball half-century.James Anderson holds his head in his hands as England drift towards another defeat•Getty Images
At the other end, Ravi Bopara showed signs of his returning confidence when he drilled the first ball of Nathan Bracken’s third over over long-on for six, and at 40 for 0 after seven overs, England were looking in command of their destiny. But then, however, it all started to go wrong. Bopara attempted a repeat stroke, but picked out James Hopes at full stretch running back towards the pavilion, and in the very next over, Matt Prior sized up a violent pull shot to get himself off the mark, but he fizzed a simple chance straight to Hopes once more, this time off the bowling of Mitchell Johnson.Owais Shah, under pressure again thanks to his haphazard running in the second ODI, was adjudged lbw, somewhat unluckily, as replays suggested that Johnson’s delivery would have slipped past the off stump. And then, in a lapse in concentration that has been an unfortunate part of his otherwise excellent form in this series, Strauss worked Hauritz in the air with a flick of the wrists, and Clarke swooped low at midwicket to send him on his way. At 98 for 4, Australia were firmly in the ascendancy.Collingwood, charged with raising the tempo as well as providing mature support to the tyro Eoin Morgan, then produced arguably the most culpable dismissal of the lot, as he attempted to biff Shane Watson’s medium pace over the leg-side field, but succeeding only in scuffing his drive to Bracken at mid-on for 28 boundary-free runs. And when Luke Wright scorched to short extra cover, it was left to Morgan to cobble together a defendable target. He added 36 in seven overs with Bresnan, including a rare six as Hopes was punched over the top, but the decision to call for the Powerplay in the 42nd over once again scuppered all England’s momentum.On 43, Morgan was suckered by a slower-ball full toss from Lee, and patted a tame drive to Johnson at wide mid-off, before Swann played across the line to a wicket-to-wicket delivery from Shane Watson to be adjudged lbw for 3 from three balls (188 for 8). As England dribbled through their allocation, it wasn’t until Bresnan cleared his front leg to smash consecutive fours off Watson with three balls of the Powerplay remaining that they managed so much as a boundary in their five sloggable overs.Bresnan and Ryan Sidebottom ensured that the innings was not a total surrender by hauling England through their 50 overs in a ninth-wicket stand of 40, with both men posting their highest scores in ODI cricket before Sidebottom holed out to White off Watson’s final ball of the innings. Nevertheless, their modest achievements were a further indictment of the failings higher up the order. Only an inspired performance with the ball would have enabled England to escape. And sure enough, White and Clarke ensured it did not materialise.
ScorecardLancashire escaped with a draw against Durham, with the only interference from the weather coming late on the final afternoon, as the rain kept away. Part of the reason was Durham’s failure to press home their advantage fully on the third evening, leading to a delayed declaration. But otherwise, both sides batted more competently on the whole in their second innings than the first. In the end, a fine fighting innings by Mark Chilton, helped by Faf du Plessis, saved Lancashire from defeat after a bad start to their second innings.This was probably due to a combination of factors. To an extent, the batsmen on either side worked out a more effective game plan the second time round, having taken on board lessons from the first innings. The pitch also did not seem to support as much turn and bounce on the last two days. But this may have been due to the one specialist spinner on each side, Gary Keedy and Ian Blackwell respectively, feeling a little tired after getting through such an unaccustomed amount of work first time round. Unfortunately few county teams nowadays carry two experienced specialist spinners, which would certainly have been desirable and quite possibly crucial on such a pitch, a type which is sadly rare in modern English cricket.Durham began the day on 256 for 5, and immediately showed the positive intent they might profitably have pursued the previous evening. Phil Mustard laid into Gary Keedy’s first over, hitting him for two boundaries in his first over, while Dale Benkenstein reached his 50, which due to his laborious batting after tea the previous day took him all of 146 balls. He only added eight, though, before he was run out through a brilliant piece of fielding by his fellow South African, du Plessis, who raced in to field a push by Mustard to midwicket and threw down the wicket with Benkenstein just short of his ground.Mustard, now in the company of Liam Plunkett, continued the assault, his most spectacular shot being a pull off Stephen Parry over the midwicket boundary for six. He ran to his 50 off 58 balls, at which point Durham declared. They had added 64 runs in ten overs, which only emphasized the time they had wasted the previous evening. They played Keedy in particular much better during the second innings, and this time his 46 overs brought him only two wickets for 107 runs.Lancashire were set 326 to win in 86 overs, a target they probably never seriously contemplated. Any dreams they might have had of glory were extinguished within a few minutes, however, as for the first time in the match apart from the opening overs of their first innings, the pace bowlers played a significant. Even then, it cannot be said that the bowling was particularly impressive, but rather that the batting was poor. First Paul Horton (3) cut a ball from Graham Onions square, only to see Benkenstein in the gully take a superb low diving catch. Three balls later, Mal Loye played indecisively to a good ball just outside his off stump and edged it to the keeper. Still with only four runs on the board, Parry was suckered out, hooking a bouncer from Callum Thorp straight down the throat of long leg, and Lancashire were facing capitulation.This was Chilton’s moment. He and VVS Laxman saw off the pacemen calmly, which was not too difficult with good judgment and avoidance of unnecessary risk. Laxman (23) went soon after lunch, like Loye nibbling outside the off stump to Onions and gifting the keeper a catch. Du Plessis came in and took root after a little uncertainty, but Chilton was Lancashire’s rock against which the Durham bowlers dashed themselves in vain. With Blackwell choosing to do most of his bowling over the wicket into the rough, he was happy to present the broadest of pads, but he was never dour. Briefly he cast aside his chains, reaching his 50 (84 balls) with a handsome four through the covers off Thorp, and followed it with another four and a pulled six in the same over. Then he returned to his valuable watchful game.Du Plessis, restraining his natural instincts, batted with increasing confidence and judgement, his own 50 taking 103 balls. A draw looked inevitable when at 4.30pm the umpires decided the light was inadequate, a decision that would certainly have caused controversy if the match was in the balance. Play was not resumed, and the two batsmen finished with 79 and 54 respectively, good reward for their sterling efforts.
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were outOmar Phillips began his Test career positively, but his dismissal for 94 allowed Bangladesh back into the game•AFP
It was a cat-and-mouse affair in Kingstown. Every time West Indies threatened to get too far ahead, Bangladesh struck back to leave the game in balance. West Indies, courtesy contributions from Omar Phillips, David Bernard, and Darren Sammy did gain a vital 69-run lead but they have to bat last on a pitch which is increasingly offering assistance to the spinners.While Bernard and Sammy spiced up the afternoon with their positive batting, it was Phillips who set the platform with a patient 94 in the morning. There were occasional losses in concentration – first when he reached 50 and then, as he neared the debut century – but for the majority of the time, he was quite solid.When the day started everyone knew Bangladesh’s chances of coming back in the game lay in the hands of their spinners and in particular, Shakib Al Hasan. However, he was thwarted by the slow pitch, the determined Phillips and nightwatchman Ryan Austin. There was spin, and occasional bounce too, for Shakib but the ball came on slowly, allowing the batsmen the time to adjust.Bangladesh were also hampered by the fact that Mashrafe Mortaza left the field, leaving Shakib to captain, with the score on 38 when he collapsed after delivering the ball and hurt his right knee. But they were kept in the hunt by their bowling debutants – the slinger Rubel Hossain, who bowled well with the old ball, and the offspinner Mahmudullah, who decided that on this pitch it was better to push the ball through a tad quicker to get the results.For their part, Phillips and Austin put their heads down and concentrated hard on survival. Philips displayed a simple technique to reach a half-century; he used the crease well, going back or forward as the length demanded, to tackle the spinners. Now and then, he lunged forward to lift the ball over mid-on or mid-off and as the bowlers dragged back the length, he was quick to go back to cut it through point.Austin gave him admirable support with his stoic defense. For a nightwatchman, he displayed a sound ability to survive, displaying enough awareness to use the slowness of the track and hang on the back foot to tackle the spinners. It took a full delivery from Rubel to induce an edge that was taken very low by Imrul Kayes in the slip cordon.Phillips looked set to take his team into the lead but a rush of blood cost him his wicket, and a century on debut, as he failed to curb his instincts, striking Rubel straight to short cover. Dave Bernard, however, took charge after Phillips fell to push West Indies past the Bangladesh total; he played attractively, lashing out at every opportunity to drive through the off side. He started with two cover drives and a square drive against Rubel and even hit Mahmudullah for a six over long-off. But the shot of his innings was a delicious inside-out extra-cover drive against Shakib. He took care not to press the front foot across against Shakib, who is always looking for the lbw decision, and chose to drive with the turn.The West Indies captain Floyd Reifer assisted Bernard well. He started off with a couple of square drives – the second hit on a bent knee being the highlight – against Rubel but, once Bernard arrived and started timing from the word go, he dropped anchor and concentrated on rotating the strike.At this point West Indies were sitting pretty at 227 for 4 but Mahmudullah struck at the stroke of tea, removing Reifer – lured into edging to slip – and wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton – caught at backward short leg – off successive deliveries to bring Bangladesh back into the game. And when Shahadat Hossain had Bernard pulling the new ball straight to deep midwicket it looked like West Indies had squandered a good start, but Sammy fought back, playing several feisty drives to build a crucial lead.Sammy played almost similarly to Bernard, choosing to loft the spinners, in particular Shakib, over the off-side field. The stand-out shot was a lovely lofted drive, with the turn, over extra-cover. He was the last man out, bowled while playing inside the line to Mahmudullah, but had given West Indies a slight advantage. However, by the end of play, the Bangladesh openers had reduced the deficit to 43. Game on.
The West Indies board (WICB) has upped the ante in its ongoing clash with its own players by issuing a media release stating its “unswerving commitment” to the current squad playing Bangladesh and all those who made themselves available for selection.The board said the squad for September’s Champions Trophy would be picked from among these players and that it would begin interviewing prospective captains. “This ensures that there will always be a solid pool of approximately 29 contracted players from which to draw for the Board’s future tour commitments.”The move in effect is a warning to those players who did not make themselves eligible for selection for the Bangladesh Test that they will not be considered for future tournaments, and is widely seen as an attempt to put pressure on those who boycotted the game to reconsider their position.However, former West Indies captain Jimmy Adams, now honorary secretary of the players’ association (WIPA) told Cricinfo that the players had “got fed up with things going nowhere” and were prepared to “sit out and see what happens”.While the WICB is publicly prepared to go with the current squad, it also emerged that more than 13 players – the number widely reported – had turned down invitations to play against Bangladesh. Dinanath Ramnarine, the chief executive of WIPA, told Cricinfo the number was closer to 30 or 40.The board referred to “strike action” by players, but Ramnarine was quick to point out that individuals without contracts could not go on strike. “They declined invitations to play, which is not the same thing,” he said.
David Hussey did not make Australia’s Ashes squad but he has ensured he will be in the right country should the Test team need a last-minute replacement early in the series. Hussey flies out on the weekend for a five-week stint with Nottinghamshire as a short-term replacement for Adam Voges.Voges has been named as the vice-captain in Australia A’s upcoming series against Pakistan A in Queensland. That opened the door for Hussey to return to Nottinghamshire, the team he represented from 2004 to 2007.”I played at Notts for four years and I’ve got a lot of close friends over there, so I’m really looking forward to it,” Hussey told the Cricket Victoria website. “It’s going to be pretty hectic, I think there are three championship games and three one-dayers, but that’s good.”It also puts Hussey in a useful position should the Ashes squad suffer any late injury worries for the first couple of Tests, as batting cover is thin in the 16-man touring group. The Ashes squad gathered in London this week, a few days after Hussey returned to Melbourne following Australia’s exit from the ICC World Twenty20.”I love playing cricket, so while I like having a couple of weeks off every now and again, it doesn’t worry me playing year-round, it helps me keep my rhythm and timing,” Hussey said. “So hopefully I can put in some good performances for Notts and help them out while Adam is away with Australia A.”
The legspinner Bryce McGain has not given up on his international career despite missing out on a Cricket Australia contract last week. McGain played in Australia’s most recent Test, in Cape Town in March, but his disappointing results left the selectors scratching their heads for future spin options.He has resigned himself to the possibility that he will miss out on a spot in the Ashes squad to be announced on Wednesday, with Nathan Hauritz a strong chance to be the only specialist slow bowler chosen. Hauritz was overlooked for all three Tests in South Africa but was a steady performer in three Tests during the home summer.Hauritz gained his opportunities after Jason Krejza and Cameron White were used on the tour of India in October, following the one-off Test appearance of Beau Casson in the West Indies last year. McGain’s unflattering figures of 0 for 149 at Newlands hurt his chances of future selection but he said despite being 37 he had not abandoned hope of again representing Australia.”I guess the selectors are still searching,” McGain told the . “None of us have really grabbed it and kept running with it. They are just as uncertain as the spinners are. I am sure the selectors have already made up their minds [for the Ashes squad]. I am hopeful, but not really expecting anything.”If I don’t get an opportunity, it’s not the end of the world either; there is other cricket to be played. Victoria is in the Champions League Twenty20. Every opportunity I get I will be bowling my best. All that stuff is out of your control, but it doesn’t mean I can’t get back and earn a contract by playing again. It is far from over.”Although the selectors picked both Hauritz and McGain for the South Africa tour, the chances of them taking two slow men to England are slim and Hauritz, as the only specialist spinner in the new list of contracted players, has the front running. The middle-order batsman Marcus North is viewed is a handy back-up spin option while Michael Clarke, Simon Katich and Andrew Symonds – if he makes the cut – are also capable part-timers.
ScorecardNew boy at home: Ian Blackwell’s 95 helped Durham out of trouble on the opening day•Getty Images
Durham and Yorkshire shared an enthralling first-day’s play at the Riverside Ground, and honours finished about even. Tim Bresnan’s superb bowling had Durham in difficulties early on, but Ian Blackwell, aided by Phil Mustard, led a determined fight-back as the balance of the match slowly swung away from the visitors.This was a match between the giants of the past and the giants of the present: Yorkshire, with 30 outright Championship titles to their credit, facing Durham, the newest first-class county, but the reigning champions. Last year Durham enjoyed two convincing Championship victory over their mighty southern neighbours, but three days earlier Yorkshire won the FP Trophy match between the two teams, so neither could start the match claiming to be overwhelming favourites. The weather played up to the occasion, with Durham belying its reputation for chilly Aprils with a mild, sunny day and a good pitch, which did, however, offer some movement to the bowlers.Both these sides possess strong seam attacks, but Matthew Hoggard was not at his best in his opening spell and Michael Di Venuto took advantage. Bresnan, however, bowled superbly and seized the wicket of Mark Stoneman (2), who aimed a rather desperate drive at a ball that moved away from him and edged a difficult low catch to the keeper, Gerard Brophy, who took it well in front of first slip. Di Venuto pulled Hoggard twice for four, but when he tried to take a similar liberty with Bresnan, he skied a catch straight to mid-on. It bounced out of Hoggard’s hands, but to his relief he managed to snatch the rebound before the ball hit the ground.Bresnan was most impressive, making the ball move and lift, beating the bat frequently. He had Will Smith, on 6, dropped at third slip from a difficult chance and his opening spell read 8-2-11-2. Deon Kruis also bowled well and found good movement, while Steven Patterson removed Gordon Muchall, pushing forward to be caught at the wicket. After lunch the strike bowlers returned with a vengeance and gave the batsmen a torrid time, beating them frequently. Hoggard this time bowled magnificently and he soon found the edge of Smith’s bat to leave Durham 82 for 4. For half an hour minutes the batsmen struggled to survive until the bowlers tired, but then Dale Benkenstein fell victim to Kruis for 17, poking outside the off stump to give Brophy another catch.Blackwell, who is quickly finding his feet at his new home, came to the rescue of his side. On 26 he sliced a ball for four just over the slips, while his partner Phil Mustard also enjoyed some luck as he played himself in, but they settled down to build the critical stand that altered the entire aspect of the match.Blackwell scored a century for Somerset against Yorkshire at Scarborough last year and they still haven’t been able to work him out successfully. This time he just missed three figures, going for 95 as he drove across the line to Hoggard, armed with the second new ball, and gave Brophy his fifth catch of the day to end a crucial stand of 107.Bresnan was as good at the end of the day as he was at the start and if anything made the ball do too much as Mustard persistently drove in vain at deliveries cutting away from him. He had Liam Plunkett dropped at second slip, but later in the same over the batsman fell to third slip for 10. Shortly afterwards Mustard reached a dogged 50, scarcely recognizable from some of his dashing one-day knocks, but exactly what his team needed in these circumstances. As the Yorkshire bowling tired a little the aggressive Callum Thorp picked up some easier runs to take Durham past 300. This match holds great promise for a fascinating contest.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), following the lead of the BCCI and the PCB, has decided to allow Bangladesh cricketers who signed up with the ICL to participate in domestic cricket, subject to the termination of their contracts with the unauthorised league by June 15.The players who want to return to the domestic fold will have to formally apply to the BCB for permission, but the board, in its press release, confirmed that they would not be available for selection to the national team until December 31 2009.”We have taken a very soft approach. They have to scrap their deals with the ICC-disapproved ICL by June 15 and then apply to us. We’ll then allow them to play domestic matches,” Jalal Yunus, the spokesman for the Bangladesh board, told AFP. “If they prove their worth in the domestic leagues, we will consider them for the national cricket team from January 1 next year. We have reopened the door and now it’s their choice whether they want to play for Bangladesh again.”The BCB had earlier imposed a ten-year ban on 13 Bangladesh cricketers who signed up with the ICL, including former captain Habibul Bashar. Its decision to provide them an opportunity to return to domestic cricket comes after the BCCI offered amnesty for all Indian players associated with the ICL. New Zealand Cricket even considered waiving off the ‘cooling period’ required for players to return to international cricket.The PCB said it would consider offering amnesty to its players on a “case-by-case” basis, and the BCB’s decision is the latest in a trend of cricket boards offering to reinduct ICL players after adopting a hardline policy initially.
ScorecardAfter a memorable three weeks in which they have gained global attention, Afghanistan’s 21-run win over Namibia in Krugersdorp earned them official ODI status, although they failed short of sealing a spot at the World Cup as they could not beat Kenya’s net run rate.Afghanistan chose to bat and made 243 for 7 thanks largely to Mohammad Shehzad’s 73 and the captain Nowroz Mangal’s 78. Nine bowlers were used and they did well in the field, but that 87-run partnership between Shehzad and Mangal proved decisive. Afghanistan came out determined to win and their new-ball attack of Shapoor Zadran and Hamid Hassan nipped out early wickets.Hassan finished an impressive tournament with 3 for 37, striking at the top, in the middle and at the tail, and received support from Zadran and Karim Khan. From 79 for 5 Namibia were resurrected somewhat thanks to Gerrie Snyman’s 54 before Hassan and Karim hit back. After a remarkable year this win marked a commendable campaign by Afghanistan but now the challenge is to make the most of their four years of valuable funding and opportunity.”When we came into the Super Eight we weren’t in a very good position to qualify, but the way the boys played showed how much courage and talent they have got winning some much tougher matches,” said Afghanistan’s coach, Kabir Khan. “I am sure we will play in a World Cup one day.”My first goal when we came into this tournament was to get into the Super Eight as we didn’t want to be relegated. I thought it would be very hard to make the World Cup, playing against so many top sides in this qualifier, but finishing in the top six is an excellent result for us.”It will help develop the cricketing culture in Afghanistan and there will be more cricket and we will have the opportunity to play four-day cricket (in the ICC Intercontinental Cup).We are not going home empty-handed from the tournament – we have managed to achieve our ODI status.”I think four-day cricket brings out the true cricketer in everybody as in one-day cricket players may play bad shots against you chasing runs, but in four-day cricket you have to get the batsman out with your own qualities and skills.”We will also benefit from the support from the ICC in preparing for these competitions. Our team is also very good in the short-form of the game and in Twenty20 they will be challenging a lot of the big teams. All their life in Afghanistan they have played 20 or 25-over cricket, so their games are well suited to this.”Praise was quick to arrive from other teams, with Scotland coach Peter Steindl pleased for their success. “Good on ’em. They’ve come a long way and have played in a lot of tournaments just to get this far, so any team that comes from Division 3 or 4 and works their way up to reach the top six, they deserve it,” Steindl told Cricinfo. “You don’t get there by luck, or without hard work and good performances, so good on them. I think we play them again in two days time,” he said, with a nervous laugh, “so we look forward to that.””They deserved the win [against Scotland] and have beaten Ireland as well. The one thing that’s come out of the tournament is you can’t take any team lightly. There’s been surprises and upsets and also hard-fought wins by teams. It’s a good state to be in for world cricket if you can have as many teams as this and still generate good cricket.”The achievement will also be a boost domestically and internationally for a war-torn nation.’It’s a great achievement by the Afghan cricket team to qualify for ODI status with such scant resources and shows the determination and resourcefulness of the people,” Dominic O’Reilly, UK Director of the charity Afghanaid, told Cricinfo. “Those of us who work in and for Afghanistan know there is much more to the country than the fighting we see on news bulletins and the cricketers have demonstrated that. While cricket is currently a minority sport in Afghanistan, I’m sure the team’s success will boost interest and give everyone there a lift.”
