Throughout the series Ravindra Jadeja has played a crucial role in offering control when the pitches have often been at their best for batting

Chopra: Cook’s plan of playing outside off not working

He stifles you with his accuracy, turns balls sharply past edges, beats the inside edges with straighter ones, gets them to kick at left-hand batsmen, takes their edges with balls that don’t turn, but there is one mode of dismissal that Ravindra Jadeja is not often given credit for: caught on the drive.Quite expectedly, 46 of Jadeja’s 104 wickets are either bowled or lbw. Three of the six stumpings off his bowling have come through sharp turn. Add 32 of the 52 catches that are either inside, outside or top edges caught by the wicketkeeper, slips, short legs or silly points, and you are left with 23 caught wickets that are not typical Jadeja wickets. Many of these 23 are slogs or inexplicable shots from tailenders.Right-hand batsmen generally tend to keep their pads away from him, and don’t mind driving him, unlike say R Ashwin or even a legspinner. On pitches that are not turning, and early on in Tests, it is considered easy to line him up and play him like a seam bowler. Ashwin, for example, is not that easy to drive because he gets the ball to dip and drift. Jadeja is considered dangerous when the ball is turning from the centre of the pitch. In this series, though, on two occasions, on day-one pitches, Jadeja has displayed he can get batsmen out caught at short cover.On the surface, caught at short cover looks like an innocuous dismissal, but it involves getting the ball to dip out of the batsman’s reach. In Mohali, Jos Buttler had been part of a 69-run partnership on a good opening-day pitch when he chipped one to short cover. He had left the crease to play a drive, but failed to dispatch this Jadeja delivery. On day one in Chennai, with England in a much better position, and Jonny Bairstow one short of a half-century, Jadeja again created the gap between the bat and the pitch of the ball.Jadeja will continue to be a spinner who relies on not giving batsmen time to recover, but as his career has grown he has become more adept at changing his pace and trajectory. In this series he has got the batsmen to drive him more. When he had Ben Stokes stumped in Mohali, he didn’t do it with turn, but with drift. The movement outside the crease then was brought about by the pressure he had built through tight bowling. Here, too, Bairstow had scored five runs in the last 19 balls before he felt he could drive when he saw the ball in the air.Before he removed Bairstow, Jadeja had extended his domination of the England captain Alastair Cook, taking the opener’s wicket for the fifth time in this series. Apart from an uncharacteristic stumping in Mumbai, each of the other four wickets have involved persistence and subtlety. Cook has looked to get across to cover Jadeja’s quick turn, but Jadeja has kept drawing him wider millimetre by millimetre before bowling slightly straighter: it can’t be too much turn because then the ball can’t both impact within the stumps and also go on to hit them.In Chennai, the natural variation came into play, with Cook playing for the turn. There was no giveaway this was going straight, and the edge was taken at slip. Again, though, Cook was not to the pitch of the ball, which is why the natural variation came into play. The Buttler and Bairstow dismissals, and the Cook ones through the series, demand a lot of persistence and patience, and are less reliant on the pitch.At the least they depend on maximising the effect of the assistance from the pitch, which happens if you beat the batsmen in the air. That Jadeja is doing so is a facet of his game he didn’t need to show on the more helpful pitches. He has always maintained that he just focuses on being accurate and bowling fast when the pitch is doing the job for him. In this series the pitches haven’t done that much for the spinners, and also India have been asked to bowl first on four occasions. Jadeja might average 31.10 this series, but he has responded well to his first real extended test from the conditions.Jadeja has taken 12 of England’s 34 wickets in the first innings of a match. Only nine of Ashwin’s 27 wickets this series have come in the first innings of the match. Statistically he is a slow starter into a match, with numbers saying he takes 14 overs on an average to claim his first wicket. When he does get into the groove, though, he can run through sides. Until such a time arrives, though, it is Jadeja who has provided Virat Kohli the control he needs, with not just his accuracy but also subtlety.

The biggest impact of Australia’s decision to postpone their tour to Bangladesh will be felt by the young home side, but the BCB will also be left with financial and perception challenges

Mohammad Isam02-Oct-2015Australia are not coming to Bangladesh to play the two Tests so the excitement has quite easily drained out of the Shere Bangla National Stadium, Bangladesh’s home of cricket. Where there were supposed to be training sessions of two exciting young teams in the eastern and northwestern wings of the stadium, there is silence.Bangladesh cricket has not dealt with such a long silence from international cricket for more than 13 years and this will leave the average fans – millions of them – disappointed. The BCB, too, will suffer some form of a financial blow although it is unlikely to ask Cricket Australia for any compensation lest the chances of a future tour are ruined. In any case, when security is grounds for postponing a tour there aren’t many precedents of home boards claiming reimbursement. It also doesn’t help when you’re not the strongest voice among the Test-playing nations.More worryingly, the BCB has to deal with the awkwardness of a foreign team refusing to tour despite the assurances given in meetings it had arranged with the highest level of intelligence and security agencies in the country.Still, the most significant and immediate impact will be on the Bangladesh team that misses out on two very significant international matches. Test matches against Australia are rare for this team and none of the current squad has ever played one. The last Test between the two sides was held more than nine years ago.The start of the 2015-16 international season in Bangladesh was supposed to be an interesting contest between two teams facing wide-ranging challenges. One that has gone through many recent retirements and is standing at a critical juncture, and another that has a lot to prove as a Test team but was being helped along by its ODI credentials.The World Cup campaign, the continued success in the aftermath at home and the discovery of talented young players has made Bangladesh cricket a happy place in 2015. There was hope that they could crown the year with a strong performance against Australia in a format where they have shown signs of improvement. To be without international cricket for more than six months following the team’s most successful period – October 2014 to August 2015 – could set them back several steps.While the likes of Mushfiqur Rahim, Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan have had to adjust to breaks in international cricket, it will be a new challenge for players like Mustafizur Rahman, Soumya Sarkar and Sabbir Rahman, who are just starting out with their international careers.All the squad members will be playing in the National Cricket League first-class competition for their respective divisions from October 3. But a break this long from international cricket is bound to hurt a team that has finally become consistent in ODIs and is looking to extend that into Tests. Zimbabwe aren’t schedule to arrive before mid-January when they are supposed to play two Tests, three ODIs and three T20s. Bangladesh’s last such break was a day short of six months back in 2002, between January and July.For the BCB, the impact is multiple, too. Their media rights holders, Gazi TV, are sure to query the BCB about the financial implications of missing out on two Test matches. The BCB has also sold their in-stadia and other commercial rights to a company, which now sells those to third parties that get to buy the naming rights to each series. BCB is unlikely to be touched by those parties but it will nonetheless incur some financial losses.Their plan to host the Bangladesh Premier League from November and the scheduled Under-19 World Cup would now have to go through more security reviews, assurances and clearances. While the tournaments will not be of similar importance to the Australia series, foreign players will be involved and teams could ask the same questions about security. In a relatively peaceful period in the country, a foreign team’s refusal to travel due to security concerns could be a bigger problem for the BCB.Getting VVIP-level security assurances for every team that is scheduled to visit Bangladesh in the future will be a big worry for the board, which could end up in a position of having to restore confidence in the country’s security to visiting teams when its real job is to run cricket.While a successfully run BPL may bring back smiles to fans and the Bangladesh players may recover with a good performance against Zimbabwe in January, the impact of this postponed tour could be a long-standing headache for the BCB.

It can’t get better than a tied Super Over to finish off the Abu Dhabi leg of the IPL

Anil Joseph30-Apr-2014Choice of game
This was the last IPL match in Abu Dhabi, so I didn’t want to miss it. It seems another 20,000 people in Abu Dhabi had similar sentiments so yet another sell-out crowd turned up to bid adieu to the IPL from Abu Dhabi. Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals had identical 2-2 win loss ratios, and this match was crucial for both to keep their noses in front in the race for the IPL play-offs.And what a fitting farewell it turned out to be for Abu Dhabi – easily the closest match this season, and one where fortunes swung from start to finish.Team supported
I guess loyalties are not as deeply entrenched in the IPL (as compared to international matches), so most of the spectators applauded good performances from both sides even if they were more inclined towards Kolkata.I was supporting Rajasthan due to its connection with my favourite cricketer, Rahul Dravid. However, I also wanted to see Jacques Kallis, Sunil Narine and Gautam Gambhir do well for KKR, albeit in a losing cause.Getting to the ground
Parking at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium is quite an experience. The stadium is surrounded by acres of plain sand, which serves as a parking lot for the thousands of cars. I saw at least three cars that got stuck in the sand and their owners desperately trying to extricate their cars (mostly in vain). Long queues of arriving cars sometimes also caused miniature sand storms, but that would not deter the cricket enthusiasts. The security checks were extremely efficient and in no time, we were inside the stadium.One thing I’d have changed
Shah Rukh Khan made an appearance in the 18th over of the Rajasthan innings, and as has been the norm in all IPL matches, a large section of the crowd decided that catching a glimpse of SRK eclipsed any entertainment that cricket could possibly provide. For a diehard cricket fanatic like myself, ignoring a battle of Rahane-Steve Smith vs Narine-Morne Morkel in the final two overs of a T20 game for a long shot sighting of SRK was nothing short of sacrilege.Wow moment
The wow moment of the day for me was the crucial 19th over bowled by the birthday boy, James Faulkner. The three wickets he took in this over of Suryakumar Yadav, Robin Uthappa and Vinay Kumar resurrected Rajasthan’s hopes from a position of utter despair. What makes this performance all the more fascinating was that till that point, Faulkner’s only notable contribution to the match was being caught sleeping at the boundary line when Kallis offered a chance in the deep off Rajat Bhatia’s bowling in the seventh over.Shots of the day
The most stunning shot of the day was Suryakumar Yadav’s six off Shane Watson, which he picked up from way outside off stump (almost near the wide line), and casually slog-swept over square leg in a manner reminiscent of some of Moin Khan’s audacious sweeps.The other amazing shot of the day was Ajinka Rahane’s pulled six off Vinay Kumar. The first impression was that the ball was unlikely to carry very far, but the ball somehow hung in the air and went over for a highly unlikely six.Crowd meter
The excitement levels and associated decibel levels for this match remained relatively subdued for a large part, perhaps due to the attritional nature of cricket being played and the relatively fewer number of sixes and fours. However, the excitement and noise gradually rose to a crescendo during the second half of Kolkata’s innings as people realised this was going to be a close one. Towards the end, everyone was screaming, and as we trooped out of the stadium you could see the satisfaction on the fans’ faces at having witnessed something special.IPL v Pakistan’s home games
Having watched a Pakistan Test, ODI and T20 each here, I must confess only the T20 international could match the IPL for crowd support. The Test match had barely a few dozen people in attendance and the ODI was also played in a half-empty stadium. The IPL, in comparison, has been a runaway hit in these parts. I guess the Indian population in the UAE has been starved of watching Indian cricketers in action for over a decade now, and the IPL has been an avenue for the huge Indian population here to make a statement that we want to see more of Indian cricketers playing here. I have no doubt that if an India-Pakistan T20 match played here, a stadium three times the size of the existing stadia, would be insufficient to meet the demand.Overall
It was a thoroughly enjoyable day of cricket for me and my friends. A big thank you to the organisers for choosing the UAE as hosts and to Sheikh Nahyan for his unwavering support. The IPL has been the talk of the town for the last two weeks, and many of us Indians in Abu Dhabi are already feeling sad that the UAE leg is drawing to a close – a bit like a favorite cousin having visited us on a holiday and now heading back. I really couldn’t have asked for more.

Only four men are now allowed outside the 30-yard circle in ODIs. The ICC intended this to invite more aggression from batsmen and fielding sides, but it may also have stifled attack and creativity in spin bowling

Andrew Fernando in Pallekele05-Nov-2012At the dawn of one-day cricket, the only fielding restriction applied to the format was the rule it had inherited from Tests: only two men on the leg side behind square. Since then ODIs have been through several facelifts. The 1992 rule change that allowed only two men outside a 30-yard perimeter spawned a new breed of opening batsman. Perhaps sensing that none of the more recent changes had helped enhance ODI cricket to any great extent, the ICC has now enforced perhaps its most radical change to the format since 1992. Only four men are now allowed outside the circle at any time.Superficially, the rules should achieve what they are intended to do. Batsmen need no longer accumulate dourly in the middle overs and are guaranteed more frequent reward for their aggression. Fielding captains are forced to innovate and be more aggressive. In the first match played under the new rules on Sunday, Mahela Jayawardene employed his extra man in the circle as a catcher for much of the New Zealand innings and had a man caught at short midwicket in the 34th over as a result.On the whole, strokemaking remains well rewarded throughout the innings, and ODIs are accorded the distinction they supposedly require to remain relevant in a three-format universe. But has the collateral been adequately considered?”I’m not very comfortable with all these changes and I don’t think it’s the right way to go forward,” Jayawardene said. “Unless there is sufficient assistance to the spin bowlers on the wicket, I feel the spinners will get targeted. They will try to bowl on one side of the wicket and become one dimensional, whereas the art of spin is about turning the ball and getting batsmen out. A spinner needs the cover, and you’re not getting that with the new rules. As a batsman, it’s easy for me, but as a captain, I feel for the bowlers.”The major problem for spinners is that they must now sacrifice one of their deep fielders down the ground in order to have three men patrolling the fence square of the wicket. This makes overpitching particularly hazardous and discourages flight. When batsmen use their feet, even if the spinner beats him in the air, the batsman need only muscle the ball beyond the fielder in the circle. On quicker outfields, a batsman might collect four from a ball that dipped before he anticipated and caught the toe-end of the bat before clearing mid-off or mid-on.The other option for spinners is to have both men down the ground back on the boundary, and have a sweeper either side of the pitch. But this would greatly reduce the risk of slog-sweeping, as the batsman only needs to avoid a single deep legside fielder. If they were to put two men back on the legside, the off side is susceptible to shots played inside-out, and even slight errors in line will result in boundaries.The ICC intended this rule to invite more aggression from both the batsmen and the fielding side, but in doing so, it may have stifled attack and creativity in spin bowling. The darters and arm-ballers that now abound in Twenty20 cricket may not find the new rule an insurmountable hurdle, but the servants of flight and guile will suddenly find their already difficult plight direr. Fewer men on the boundary means the variety of deliveries they can confidently attempt is reduced. Flat, fast and accurate becomes the preferred modus operandi.”The two new balls have already made it difficult for spinners in some conditions, and now this new rule makes it tougher again,” Jayawardene said. “Yesterday, the pitch looked much slower than the previous match and both teams would have been tempted to play two spinners, but both opted out, purely because of the new rule. The way things are going, unless you are a brilliant spinner who can bowl well in any conditions, most spinners will find it difficult to find a place in the playing XI. You’ll probably just go with the part-time bowlers and see if you can get the job done that way.”By imposing a new ball at each end, the ICC has rid ODIs of one of cricket’s most compelling sights. Countless youngsters have been inspired to bowl fast by the reversing delivery that dives late at the stumps like a snake suddenly smelling prey, but that is no longer achievable with balls that do not age more than 25 overs. Now, attacking spinners have been put in peril. Isn’t its skill and artistry the reason most fall in love with the game in the first place?

The tri-series is Yuvraj Singh’s first chance to steer the focus back to his cricket, away from the fitness issues, away from Page 3

Siddarth Ravindran in Dambulla09-Aug-2010At his best in limited-overs matches, Yuvraj Singh gives Indian fans and the dressing room a feeling of assurance few others can, and that is the reason he is integral to the country’s dreams of a World Cup victory at home.A case in point is India’s ill-fated campaign to defend their World Twenty20 crown in 2009. Having entered the tournament as one of the hot favourites, with the country’s love affair with the newest format burgeoning, India were staring at a humiliating early elimination during the second Super Eights game against England at Lord’s. The top-order was floundering to a bouncer barrage and after the youngsters, Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma, fell cheaply, Gautam Gambhir and Ravindra Jadeja poked and plodded at one-day pace. With the asking rate touching double-digits and the title defence in tatters, Yuvraj walked out in the 11th over and gloriously lofted his first ball for a huge six, the first of the innings. There was another nonchalant hit for six more before a brilliant, quicksilver stumping from James Foster ended his 14-minute stay. India went on to lose but for those 14 minutes, irrespective of the odds, fans believed victory was possible.That is where Yuvraj towers over the gaggle of youngsters with whom he is now jostling for a middle-order berth. He has always been a man for the big occasion, whether it was the dazzling 84 in his first one-day innings after a top-order collapse against Steve Waugh’s Australians, the star-making turn in the NatWest series final in 2002 or the jaw-dropping 70 off 30 balls in a take-no-prisoners semi-final against Australia in the inaugural World Twenty20.There hasn’t been any addition to that highlights reel in 2010. A spate of injuries, a ballooning waistline, indifferent form and those never-too-far-away questions about his attitude culminated in his axing from the one-day side for the Asia Cup. That was meant to chasten a man who had perhaps taken for granted a spot in the ODI middle order after eight years of being a guaranteed starter. And it left Yuvraj in the peculiar situation of being in the Test side and out of the one-day team.Ahead of the Test series against Sri Lanka, he spoke of the tough training his father put him through as part of a bid to regain full fitness. It seemed to have paid off as Yuvraj, more streamlined than the butt-of-all-jokes who turned up in the IPL, started with a flawless century in the tour game against Sri Lanka Board President’s XI and followed it up with a brisk 52 under pressure in the first Test.It started to unravel again when flu forced him to miss the second Test. Raina grabbed his chance to make a debut hundred that ensured the match was a draw and elbow out Yuvraj, bringing an end to his first extended run as a Test starter in a decade of trying. And, to make things worse, he responded to taunts from visibly drunk fans provoking a flurry of unflattering headlines which reinforced the impression of Yuvraj the brat.The tri-series is his first chance to steer the focus back to his cricket, away from the fitness issues, away from Page 3. It is his first chance to remind us of the man whom MS Dhoni calls “the main strength of our middle order”. It is his first chance to add to that highlight reel.As the most experienced player in the line-up, Yuvraj remains the proven performer India need in a middle order in which several players still have the learner’s wheels. It’s a middle order that looks particularly shaky if there is an injury to Dhoni, who has managed to so far steer clear of fitness troubles despite playing the triple role of wicketkeeper, key batsman and captain. It’s a trick Yuvraj will love to learn after an injury-filled year.

Dileep Premachandran comes up with the plays of the fifth day of the Lord’s Test between England and India

Show Pony Dhoni?: That’s what some have taken to calling India’swicketkeeper in these parts. As much as the Fab Four who are no longerfab, Mahendra Singh Dhoni had a whole lot to prove when he walked to the crease thismorning. His first-innings dismissal had been a shocker, his keepingpatchy, and his technique remains among the most ungainly you’ll see atthis level. But what Dhoni has is heart, and an ability to adapt, and heshowed that with an innings that spanned 159 balls. There was plenty offlirtation with Dame Fortune, as edges evaded fielders, but he stuckaround for the denouement, rotating the strike and thumping the oddboundary. India’s hero.Sledge of the day: Gamesmanship standards have undoubtedlydeclined, with coarseness and crudity almost completely replacing humour.Matt Prior came up with a gem though soon after Dhoni had arrived in themiddle on a filthy, grey morning. “Yuvraj is looking brilliant in thenets, isn’t he Dhoni?” he piped up. Not quite in the Eddo Brandes-GlennMcGrath- biscuit category, but well worth a chuckle.The big trees also fall: After a calamitous start, India werestarting to dream of a miracle when VVS Laxman and Dhoni stepped up thescoring after lunch. On came Chris Tremlett, who had looked both incisiveand innocuous on Test debut. A magnificent full delivery that cut backappreciably crept through Laxman’s defence and pegged back the stumps.Laxman’s pose was a familiar depressing one, keeling over like a treeattacked by a chainsaw.So near, and yet so very far: Just before the players went off forbad light, Monty Panesar had a huge appeal against Sreesanth. SteveBucknor, who doesn’t get too many Christmas cards from Indian fans,pondered long and hard, as he’s prone to, but the finger never went up.Replays showed that it might have clipped the top of middle stump. Afortuitous escape for India, though they would argue that there were insuch a mess mainly because Rahul Dravid didn’t get any benefit of doubt.Timing, timing: Unlike the Australians, the English have seldomseen the best of Laxman. But in one Tremlett over, there were twosignature strokes, little more than wafts of the bat that sentback-of-length deliveries through point. The fielders gave chase, but evenwith the ball going up the slope, it was futile.The forgotten man: One of those watching his former team-matesstrive to save the Test was Aakash Chopra, the Delhi opener who onceforged such an effective combination with Virender Sehwag. Not even acontender despite his experience of English league cricket, Chopra couldonly watch anxiously and hope for rain. Like this Indian team, he had seenbetter days, most notably in Australia and Pakistan in the 2003-04 season.Omens and all that: India’s record at the ground some callheadquarters is pitiful, but they can take encouragement from their greatescape here. In 1986, when they won the series, Dilip Vengsarkar’s 126 andKapil Dev’s relentlessly accurate swing bowling set up a five-wicket win.And going back even further to 1971, the defiance of Eknath Solkar stavedoff defeat, with India finishing on 145 for 8 in pursuit of 183. A monthlater they went to the Oval and clinched the series, with Chandrasekhar’sMill-Reef deliveries wreaking havoc.

Sri Lanka now dependent on other results, as hopes of direct entry to World Cup are hit further

Madushka Balasuriya28-Mar-2023

Unrelenting rain in Christchurch meant that the second ODI between New Zealand and Sri Lanka was washed out without even the toss taking place. While rain had been forecast for much of the day, there had nevertheless been hope of a shortened match getting underway at some point.But as the day wore on and the rain persisted at the Hagley Oval, that prospect looked less and less likely. The cut-off time for a 20-over game, the minimum allowed for rain-curtailed ODI, had been marked for 7.02pm local time, but with the rains persisting, the umpires called the game off following the final inspection at 4.25pm.As a result, the teams split points, with Sri Lanka’s hopes of automatic World Cup qualification being hit further. The top eight teams from the Super League table get direct entry in the World Cup, but Sri Lanka are currently placed ninth after 82 points, and have just one more match remaining in the cycle – the third ODI against New Zealand in three days’ time.While a win will take them above West Indies and thus up to eighth, Sri Lanka will hope that tenth-placed South Africa win at most one out of their two upcoming ODIs against Netherlands. That will leave South Africa stuck at 88 points, and allow Sri Lanka, who will finish on 92 should they beat New Zealand, to scrape through to the World Cup.However, New Zealand are set to end the Super League as table toppers despite the washout in Christchurch, and even if they lose to Sri Lanka in the third ODI in Hamilton. They have 165 points at the moment – ten clear of England, who are second – but will have hoped that their fringe players get enough practice ahead of the World Cup.Also, the washout has meant they can’t lose the ongoing series against Sri Lanka, as they had thumped them by 198 runs in the first ODI in Auckland on Saturday. In fact, they will finish the Super League having lost just one ODI series.
