Kevin Pietersen described his innings of 182 in Mumbai as ‘pretty satisfying’ but said it would mean more if England went on to win the Test

David Hopps25-Nov-2012

There must have been days during his exile from England’s dressing room that Kevin Pietersen feared he would never play again a Test innings as magnificent as the one he produced in Mumbai.There must have been days when he feared he would never play another Test innings at all.His response to that suggestion, a strikingly downbeat response for someone who had just produced one of the most memorable innings in Test history, was to shrug that he never looked as far ahead as the next day.”I never know what is going to happen tomorrow,” he said. “I don’t take myself that seriously. I do everything on a day-to-day basis. What will be, will be. I live my life day to day.”It sounded a cop out until one reflected that a lack of forethought had been evident the moment he embarked upon his rebellion against the ECB and ultimately became estranged from much of the England dressing room in the process.Day-to-day living looked the way to go as Pietersen turned 180 degrees on the boundary edge at the Wankhede Stadium to acknowledge the applause of the crowd. India loves his star quality, his individuality and his capacity to entertain.No Englishman, one would wager, comes anywhere near to his popularity. Boris Johnson, in Delhi to drum up trade with India as Mayor of London, could take back billions in trade deals if he was seen out for dinner with Pietersen.Pietersen produces great moments, and revels in them, but he rarely cares to assess them. “It will mean a lot more if we win tomorrow but it was a pretty difficult wicket,” he said. “You knew at some stage a ball had your name on it so to play as well as that was pretty satisfying.””We have come here to learn, we have come here to try to win, and we want to front up to the challenge. The captain asked that of us before the Test.”Along with that captain, Alastair Cook, he reached 22 Test hundreds, equalling the best by any England batsman. The sweep shot – often derided during England’s troubled year – had been well executed by both batsmen during a third-wicket stand of 206 that began to turn the Test in England’s favour.”I think some of the greatest batsmen who have come to India and been successful have been very good sweepers – our coach for one,” he said, recalling Andy Flower’s unbeaten double hundred for Zimbabwe in Nagpur.”It messes around with the lengths that the spinners bowl and it messes around with the fields. It negates that little leg gully that can cause issues if the spinners bowl straight to you. As long as you play it well and pick the right ball it’s fine. If you play it sixth or seventh ball and miss it like I did in Ahmedabad you look like a clown.”I wasn’t playing well at all in Ahmedabad. I didn’t trust my defence as much as I trusted my defence in this Test match and as a batter if you don’t trust your defence you try too many things, you try to force the issue.”So I went and did a lot of hard work as I always do and luckily it had paid off. I like to keep things simple. I just didn’t go into that Test match trusting my defence. I don’t think the warm-up matches going into that Test match tested my defence. It is just about keeping things simple and doing the basics right.”It was not a day for him to celebrate, certainly not in the company of an English media that, in some cases, had been critical of him in a personal way not seen to such an extent since Geoffrey Boycott began his own self-imposed exile from England nearly 40 years earlier. The hurt is not easily forgotten.The much-vaunted reintegration process with the England dressing room has been completed. Perhaps he needs another one with the media.He spoke in more relaxed fashion on ESPN Star Sports to Sourav Ganguly, a former India captain who also had his detractors and who saw him at his lowest moments when they worked alongside each other in a studio in Colombo during World Twenty20 after England refused to pick him.How did it feel to be back? “It feels really good, thanks Sourav,” he said. “I was with you for two weeks through the turmoil but, no, this is great. I’m back playing cricket for England, it’s amazing to get back into the Test scene and to get some runs on a wicket like this and hopefully help us win a Test match, would be magnificent.”Not that he was prepared to claim that the game was already won, with the memory still fresh of England’s collapse to 72 all out against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi in January.”It’s definitely a cliffhanger, for sure,” he said. “You’ve seen the wicket now, it’s spinning, bouncing, from straight, from off-straight. It’s going to be a tough time to go out there and hopefully we don’t have to face too many. We don’t want to have to chase a 100 or 120 on there; we tried that once this year and failed in Abu Dhabi.”

ESPNcricinfo’s preview of the second Twenty20 between India and New Zealand in Chennai

Big PictureA phrase that has found its way into cricket jargon of late is “controlling the controllables”. One thing neither team, the fans or the organisers have been able to control is the rain. It has been an unwelcome visitor is all three matches on the tour so far, more so in Visakhapatnam, where thousands made their way to witness the city’s first Twenty20 international and Yuvraj Singh’s comeback from cancer. Southern India has been hit by showers over the last few weeks, and the venue for the final T20, Chennai, has had its share of rain too. The weather has reduced the Twenty20 series to a one-match shoot-out. Both teams will agree that even a completed T20, without interruptions, won’t count as sufficient match practice ahead of the World T20. Much then would depend on the two warm-up games in Sri Lanka before the big event.One player who will be itching to get out there is Yuvraj. Ideally, he would like to stage his comeback in India and, possibly, put an end to all murmurs regarding his match fitness. Spare a thought for the Twenty20 specialists who have flown in from New Zealand for what is effectively a one-match series. Daniel Vettori, for all his experience, needs match time to ease himself back in from a groin injury. New Zealand would want to play their best side, but that would mean their relatively inexperienced players, like Ronnie Hira and Adam Milne, may not be guaranteed a spot. India have tried out three different opening combinations in their last three T20 matches, with Ajinkya Rahane and Robin Uthappa partnering Gautam Gambhir in two of those games. They are expected to go with their regular pair of Gambhir and Virender Sehwag here, and both are struggling for consistency.Form guide (Completed matches, most recent first)New Zealand LLLLW
India WLWLLWatch out forHe may have slipped slightly as a wicket-taker in Tests, but Daniel Vettori has plenty to offer in T20s as a containing bowler, as his economy rate of 5.36 in 28 T20s indicates. With Jacob Oram, who kept batsmen quiet in the SLPL with an economy rate of 3.82, Vettori will be called on to squeeze the runs.R Ashwin tormented New Zealand with 18 wickets in two Tests, and those who have faced him in the IPL will be aware of his skills in the shortest format. In 23 matches for Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Ashwin has 27 wickets, the second-highest wicket-taker for the franchise at the ground over three seasons.Team newsL Balaji showed up for the pre-match press conference, but was non-committal over the team combination or whether he would play.India (probable): 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Gautam Gambhir, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Suresh Raina, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 Rohit Sharma, 7 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 8 Irfan Pathan, 9 R Ashwin, 10 Zaheer Khan, 11 Ashok DindaNew Zealand did not drop any hints regarding their playing XI either.New Zealand (probable): 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Brendon McCullum (wk), 3 Ross Taylor (capt), 4 Kane Williamson, 5 Rob Nicol, 6 Jacob Oram, 7 Daniel Vettori, 8 James Franklin, 9 Doug Bracewell, 10 Tim Southee, 11 Kyle MillsPitch and conditionsThere have been showers in Chennai late in the evenings. India managed to practice, but it reportedly rained after 4pm on the eve of the game. The forecast is for cloudy weather on match day.Stats and trivia The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai will be hosting its first Twenty20 international.Chennai had its share of high-scoring games during the 2012 IPL, with a season run-rate of 8.01. Super Kings’ 222 for 5 against Delhi Daredevils in Chennai was the highest team score for the tournament. In the 2012 IPL, spinners accounted for 33 wickets in Chennai, second only behind Eden Gardens (34).Quotes “We’re quite strong in the spin department, as well, in the current T20 setup. If you look at the experience we have got and the destructiveness we have with bat and ball, it [the shorter format of the game] does suit us.”

“The long lay-off did not rust my skills in any way. It has been a competitive three years in the IPL and Ranji Trophy, as well as some other first-class matches.”

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White has said that the board aims to find a replacement for head coach John Wright by the end of July

ESPNcricinfo staff25-May-2012

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White has said that the board aims to find a replacement for head coach John Wright by the end of July. The board met in Auckland on Friday to discuss the process and timeline for recruiting Wright’s successor.”We want the best person for the job and will not limit our search for the right candidate,” White said. “We are aiming to have the new head coach in place by the end of July but will not be drawn into making self-imposed deadlines.”White said the position will be publicly advertised in the coming weeks and that the best candidate will be appointed, regardless of his nationality. “The key responsibilities for the head coach will be to manage the support staff, prepare the team for international cricket and, along with the captain, be responsible for performance of the team,” White told .Earlier this month, John Wright, confirmed that he would step down after the tour of the West Indies in August. He cited differences with New Zealand’s director of cricket, John Buchanan, as a factor that influenced his decision not to extend his contract.Wright’s decision prompted the board to announce that the demanding nature of the Future Tours Programme would mean that the workload of the support staff would be considered before making a decision on a new coach. New Zealand will tour the West Indies in June, India in August and then head to Sri Lanka for the ICC World T20 in September.Edited by Carlyle Laurie

Ross Taylor, the New Zealand captain, has said his team’s batsmen must break their habit of failing to turn fifties into centuries after another disappointing series with the bat

ESPNcricinfo staff06-Aug-2012

Ross Taylor, the New Zealand captain, has said his team’s batsmen must break their habit of failing to turn fifties into centuries after another disappointing series with the bat. New Zealand lost the series 2-0 after West Indies earned a five-wicket victory in Jamaica and the result means the teams swap positions on the ICC Test rankings table, with West Indies moving to seventh and New Zealand falling to eighth.A major part of the problem for New Zealand was an absence of big scores from their batsmen. The opener Martin Guptill was the leading scorer from either side across the two Tests with 277 runs but no New Zealander managed a century, while Chris Gayle, Kieran Powell and Marlon Samuels all reached triple figures for West Indies.”It’s been around for a while,” Taylor said of the lack of centuries. “If you go through the last 15-odd years, guys have been scoring a lot of fifties but they haven’t been going on to score those hundreds and hundreds are what get you in Test matches and put you on the front foot and hopefully win them. But when you’re only getting fifties, sometimes it might be enough but more often than not it won’t be.”Taylor’s observation was sound, for in the past 15 years New Zealand batsmen have made 84 Test centuries, easily the fewest among the eight countries that played Test cricket throughout that period. The next lowest was West Indies, whose batsmen made 121 tons during the same time.In the past decade the figures are just as stark for New Zealand, whose batsmen have made fewer hundreds than Jacques Kallis and Rahul Dravid combined. Taylor said New Zealand’s inability to put together big partnerships and fight through important moments in the two Tests proved costly against West Indies, and they would need to improve ahead of their tour of India.”Obviously us batters are not performing as consistently as we would like and the bowlers were bowling well in periods but not the whole time,” he said. “Losing crucial wickets at crucial times in both Test matches have hurt us … We need to address our issues very quickly and we’ve got India coming up in just over a week and a half’s time, so we need to regroup quickly and play a lot better than we have here.”However, Taylor said there were some positives to come from the series, despite the result.”Martin Guptill was the highest run scorer in the Test series, between both teams,” Taylor said. “He didn’t get a hundred but his lowest score was 41. He struggled a bit during the T20s and one-dayers but showed what a quality player he can be and runs at the top of the order has been something we haven’t done as consistently as we would like. He was consistent.”The bowlers, [Trent] Boult with the new ball was very promising and something to work on. [Neil] Wagner, I think has given us something to think about, the energy that he brings to the team.”New Zealand have little time to regroup ahead of the India series, which begins with a Test in Hyderabad on August 23.

تحدث أحمد حسام ميدو لاعب ومدرب الزمالك الأسبق عن مباراة الأهلي والهلال السوداني المقبلة في سادس جولات دور المجموعات ببطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا المقرر لها السبت المقبل.

وقال ميدو في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “المحور” عبر برنامج “ريمونتتادا”: “الأمل عاد لجماهير الأهلي بعد تعادل الهلال مع صن داونز، أتوقع ان يمتلئ ستاد القاهرة عن آخره”.

وأضاف: “إدارة الهلال السوداني تحاول الخروج بالمباراة بعيدًا عن كرة القدم، الضغوط التي يحاول مسؤولو الهلال تصديرها قديمة، نحن بعام 2023، بيان الهلال السوداني خائب والكاف لم يرد عليهم”.

وواصل: “لا أفهم طلب الهلال بإقامة مباراة الأهلي بدون جماهير، تقترح شيء لا يمكن أن يحدث وطلب غير منطقي، بيان نادي الهلال يوصل رسالة للاعبيه أن الإدارة خائفة وهذا سيأتي بنتيجة عسكية توقفوا عن البيانات”.

وأردف: “الأهلي لن يترك الفرصة ولن يفرط في التأهل للدور المقبل من البطولة وسيقاتل عليها”.

وتابع: “كولر معجب جدًا بمحمد حمدي ظهير أيسر فريق بيراميدز، وقال لإدارة الأهلي إنه أهم صفقة بخلاف التعاقد مع مهاجم ويجب أن تقاتلوا لكي يكون متواجدًا في الأهلي الموسم المقبل، من وجهة نظر المدرب أن هذا اللاعب أنسب بديل لعلي معلول”.

واستكمل: “محمد حمدي ظهير أيسر محترم، وبالنسبة لإدارة بيراميدز لا يقل أهمية عن إبراهيم عادل ورمضان صبحي”.

واختتم: “كلما شاهد كولر اللاعب محمد حمدي يتحدث مع إدارة الأهلي عنه، ويعتبره القطعة المفقودة في تشكيل الأهلي لأنه يفكر للمستقبل”.

Dave Richardson has said that India would not be forced into accepting the universal application of the Decision Review System (DRS)

ESPNcricinfo staff28-Jun-2012

Dave Richardson, the ICC’s new chief executive, has said that India would not be forced into accepting the universal application of the Decision Review System (DRS). The BCCI has been the sole objector to making DRS mandatory in international cricket and the ICC’s Executive Board decided not to put the issue to a vote on Tuesday.In his first day on the job, as the successor to Haroon Lorgat, Richardson said that while the majority of players and umpires back the DRS to rule on marginal or controversial decisions, India could not be dragged “kicking and screaming” to comply. The ICC’s failure to enforce the universal application of DRS means it will only be used in bilateral series when both national boards agree to it.”The point is that the BCCI need to make that decision for themselves,” Richardson said at the close of the ICC’s annual conference in Malaysia. “It’s never good to take anyone kicking and screaming to do anything.”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.”I don’t think [the Executive Board’s decision is] negative at all. We’ll be seeing DRS used in the majority of series going forward and there would be no sense in forcing anything upon anybody.”India’s resistance to DRS stems from their 2008 Test series with Sri Lanka, when the technology was on trial. N Srinivasan, the BCCI president, has said that the system would only be supported when it was “100 percent error free”.Richardson said: “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 ten 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.”As well as Richardson succeeding Lorgat, Alan Isaac, the former chairman of New Zealand Cricket, has taken over as ICC president for a two-year term, succeeding Sharad Pawar. The ICC has voted to make the presidency a ceremonial position from 2014, with power passed to the new position of chairman.

James Taylor was relieved to finally be rewarded after a month battling in bowler-friendly conditions with a hundred for England Lions

Andrew McGlashan at Northampton11-May-2012

James Taylor was relieved to finally be rewarded after a month battling in bowler-friendly conditions as his hundred put England Lions in a commanding position against the West Indians. The home side built a lead of 194 before nipping out three wickets to set themselves up for a three-day victory push on Saturday.Taylor has not scored a fifty in the County Championship for Nottinghamshire, his new county, so far this season although feels he has played well against the moving ball and this time managed to convert his start into a substantial contribution.”I’m really pleased; it’s about time to be fair, it’s been a tough season so far,” he said. “I’ve scored some gritty runs and it was ideal to score some runs at the right time. I dug in and I think we put on a hundred for the last two wickets which has put us in a really strong position for the rest of the game.”He could not have wished for a better audience, either, with all the England selectors, Andy Flower and a host of ECB officials in attendance in Northampton, although few remained when Taylor reached his hundred during the final session. Having slipped a little off the radar over the last six months he will not have done his future chances any harm. The injury scare surrounding Ravi Bopara, even though it could turn out to be minor, showed how quickly an opportunity can arise.”We saw them all around at certain points of the day but you don’t really think about the selectors when you are batting; it’s just about the next ball and trying to play it. But it’s always nice to score a hundred in front of them.”It was far from all plain sailing for the Lions during the day as they fell to 98 for 5 during the morning session, with the West Indian bowlers showing why they will pose a threat to England during the Test series. Then, during the afternoon, it appeared the Lions lead would be kept under three figures but Taylor combined with the lower order – including a last-wicket stand of 64 with Jade Dernbach – to give the visitors the runaround.”It’s the worst time in cricket, when the tailenders are scoring runs and it was perfect for us to get those runs,” he said. “It was so annoying for them.”However, having had first-hand experience of a lengthy stay against the visiting bowling attack he was well aware that they will be a handful during the Test series. “They have some quick balls in them, those boys, and they showed it,” he said. “Luckily today was my day and I came out OK. They have some quality bowlers who get pace and bounce. It was nice to come up against them and to get runs.”
