Tony Cozier, the veteran Caribbean journalist and broadcaster, has launched a scathing attack on the way the ICC funds global cricket outside the Test-playing countries.Writing in his column which is syndicated throughout the Caribbean, Cozier was angry at the way that established regions, such as West Indies, were not allocated more money instead of so much being spent by the ICC on Associate competitions.”Certainly there is no ICC venture more illogical or costly than the one dubbed the Intercontinental Cup,” he wrote. “It is an annual tournament, described by the ICC as its ‘flagship first-class competition’, comprising round-robin, four-day matches between its second tier members, those one below Test status. These are countries where the game has always been based on amateur, weekend, one-day club cricket. They play no four-day domestic matches and almost certainly never will.”Yet the ICC doles out heaven knows how much cash every year to fly them, and their own entourage of officials, across the world and to house and feed them at venues as scattered as Aberdeen, Dublin, Namibia, Toronto, Sharjah and Windhoek.”Canada were unable to raise their strongest team for the African tour because many of their best players simply could not get time off from their jobs. The same problem affects others, rendering the tournament even less relevant.”The ICC maintains that the competition enables players from Associate countries to gain more experience in the longer form of the game.

Ian Bell made his fourth half-century in nine innings this series, but once again failed to go on to a hundred, as England were made to struggle for their runs on the first day of the fifth Test at Sydney. He fell for 71 to Glenn McGrath, as England reached 4 for 234 on a weather-shortened day.”It has been a little bit frustrating,” admitted Bell afterwards, “but today I got a pretty decent delivery so I can’t grumble. McGrath and [Stuart] Clark bowled exceptionally today, and generally as a unit they put the ball in really good areas. It was really difficult out there.”On a pitch kept lively by early-morning rain and an overcast evening, run-scoring was no easy task. “The wicket had enough in it all day, and as a batter there was always a delivery that just beat the bat,” added Bell. “[Andrew Flintoff and Paul Collingwood] did well to bat through the last hour and get us into a decent position.”For Bell, it was another mini-milestone on the road to becoming a fully-fledged international cricketer, and he felt afterwards that he had improved “unbelievably” from the wide-eyed rookie who had made seven single-figure scores in ten innings in 2005, saying: “I can’t really compare myself to what I was last time.”Even so, it was McGrath once again who accounted for him, for the fifth time in eight Tests. “It’s just a matter of patience really,” said Bell. “I know what he’s trying to do to me. The ball that got me out was his delivery, the one he wants to bowl to me the majority of the time. He’s always trying to get my outside-edge or [bowl me] through the gate.”There was not a lot to hit out there,” he added. “It’s easy to say we weren’t scoring at a great rate, but unless the ball was right under your nose you couldn’t drive a lot. There was more bounce here than at Melbourne so leaving is easier, and a lot of balls you had to let go.” Though he was tempted to adopt Kevin Pietersen’s approach of disrupting the bowlers’ lengths, he added: “That’s not in my game as much as KP’s.”Nor does Bell enjoy the verbals quite as much either. “I don’t try and say anything to Warne at all,” he admitted. “He’s always going to have the last word in the way that bowlers do, by getting you out. But I enjoyed it out there, and I can take some positives from it. At times it wasn’t too pretty but sometimes you’re going to get runs when they don’t look great.”This is an important game for England,” Bell added. “We don’t want to go down 5-0. We are taking every game very seriously in the run-up to the next Ashes.”

Bangladesh maintained their 100% record in the triangular tournament with a crushing 102-run win against Sri Lanka. The captain, Mushfiqur Rahim, lead from the front with a powerful 75 before the Bangladesh attack made short work of Sri Lanka.After winning the toss Bangladesh were given a sound base with an opening stand of 63 between Tamim Iqbal and Raqibul Hasan. Rajeeva Weerasinghe brought Sri Lanka back into contention by removing both players in two balls and when Saqibul Hasan fell for 1, Bangladesh were struggling on 64 for 3.Shamshur Rahman launched the recovery with a measured half-century and although his 59 was on the slow side it was just the innings Bangladesh needed. When he fell in the 42nd over Rahim was already into his stride and carried the innings forward.Rahim, who made a positive impression when he toured England in May and June, making his Test debut at Lord’s, hit five fours and six in his 69-ball innings and received solid support from lower order. Weerasinghe remained the pick of the attack, but he lacked sufficient back-up from the other bowlers.Bangladesh’s total took on menacing proportions when Dimuth Karunaratne fell in the third over (9 for 1) and a terminal decline soon set in. By the 24th over Sri Lanka had slumped to 84 for 6 and there was no way back. Sameera de Zoysa provided the only meaningful resistance with 46 until he was run out by Saqibul Hasan. Kamrul Islam finished with three wickets, while four other bowlers chipped in.Sri Lanka’s defeat leaves the door open for England, who still have an outside chance of reaching the final if they can win their last two matches with bonus points.

At his best Glenn McGrath looks like he’s jogging to the crease. He trotted in the second innings and captured the second-best figures by an Australian. Only after he’d reached seven victims, and thoughts turned to a perfect ten, did he start to charge. Michael Kasprowicz’s two wickets helped him decide eight was enough.There have been some great fast bowling performances at the WACA and this, statistically, was the finest. It was stunning and special, but in McGrath’s list of 472 Test wickets these were some of the easiest. Curtly Ambrose blitzed Australia with 7 for 25, including a spell of 7 for 1, to win a series in 1992-93, and Merv Hughes and Craig McDermott crashed eight through West Indies and England sides boasting star line-ups. McGrath swept through a disappointing rabble.Sensing weaknesses has always been one of his specialties. All he had to do today was look towards the opposition’s dressing-room. The batting was simply awful; McGrath simply too good. Starting the morning with 1 for 6, he had added six wickets by his ninth over and found edges as easily as a rock climber. The eighth took longer – by then Kasprowicz had knocked over Mohammad Sami – and came with a Shoaib Akhtar bunt to Darren Lehmann, McGrath’s only dismissal in front of the wicket.Nothing about his bowling had changed significantly, although there was a touch of outswing. The pace was still in the low 130kmph bracket, the line was annoyingly around off stump and the bounce was uncomfortable. Pakistan were trapped, and responded with open blades. The worst thing about their performance was the lack of improvement.Some tours are over in less than the three weeks they have stayed in Perth. Visiting teams will always struggle with the WACA’s bounce, but they usually develop some method of resistance. This was Pakistan’s seventh bat in Western Australia: they had learned nothing.

They were still trying to play forward (Salman Butt and Younis Khan); they were hanging their bats out waiting for the edge (Abdul Razzaq, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Kamran Akmal); and they religiously prodded without purpose. Had Justin Langer been Australia’s only batsman, they would have won by 37 runs. It was a horrible display from a side ranked fourth in the world. There wasn’t even time for a dreadful run out.Playing the first Test at Perth had been a risk for Australia. While their bowlers would always dominate, Shoaib and Sami could – and did – spark a demolition. Once their danger had passed Australia were heading to the MCG with a 1-0 lead. Ricky Ponting made sure the match went into a fourth day, and Glenn McGrath made it memorable.Strangely, McGrath had never taken a Test five-wicket haul at Perth. Now the figures of 8 for 24, 14 runs fewer than his previous best at Lord’s in 1997, stand only behind Arthur Mailey’s 9 for 121 against England in 1920-21. It is a fitting milestone for a bowler destined to remain in Australia’s top three alongside Dennis Lillee and Shane Warne unless another country kid spectacularly caravans his way towards 500 dismissals.

Age is only a number, as Steve Waugh and Alec Stewart have been telling us all for several years now. But when Graeme Smith was appointed as South Africa’s new captain at the age of 22, several eyebrows were instantly raised. Smith, though, has answered his critics in the manner he knows best, and today at Edgbaston he became the youngest captain to score a Test century.The following captains have scored Test centuries before the age of 24:

Age Name Score Match22 173 GC Smith 178* SA v Eng Birmingham 200322 273 Javed Miandad 106* Pak v Aus Faisalabad 1979-8023 39 Nawab of Pataudi jr 203* Ind v Eng Delhi 1963-6423 255 SR Tendulkar 169 Ind v SA Cape Town 1996-9723 273 Nawab of Pataudi jr 128* Ind v Aus Madras 1964-65

If that wasn’t enough, Smith has secured another record, in conjunction with Herschelle Gibbs. That pair added 368 for the first wicket in the Test against Pakistan at Cape Town earlier this year, and today, with their stand of 338, Gibbs and Smith became the first opening pair to make two triple-century Test partnerships. They are only the second pair to have achieved that feat for any wicket, after Bill Ponsford and Don Bradman, who added 388 for Australia’s fourth wicket and 451 for the second, in successive Tests against England at Leeds and The Oval in 1934.Gibbs also shared an unbeaten partnership of 315 for the second wicket with Jacques Kallis against New Zealand at Christchurch in 1998-99. He thus joins Javed Miandad in having shared in three triple-century Test partnerships. Only Don Bradman (5) has had a share in more.

Sachin Tendulkar to serve a suspended sentence? Can it be true? Sachin Tendulkar and ball tampering? Can the two go together? Such are the disbelieving reactions from Indian cricket fans who have, for years, accepted the 28-year-old as the epitome of fair play on the field and impeccable behaviour off it. Predictably enough, the action taken against six Indian players, including Tendulkar, by match referee Mike Denness has stirred a hornets’ nest in this country. And not without good reason.Tendulkar attended a hearing with Denness following allegations of ball tampering during the ongoing second Test between South Africa and India in Port Elizabeth. Four other players – Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Shiv Sunder Das and Deep Dasgupta – also appeared before Denness on charges of showing dissent and excessive appealing, while captain Sourav Ganguly was charged with failing to control his players. Tendulkar was summoned after television broadcasts of the third day’s play showed him allegedly using his fingernails to tamper with the seam of the ball. Denness requested videotaped copies of the incident from television producers. Significantly, the matter was not reported by the umpires.Cleaning dirt from the ball and tampering with it are two very different things. Television footage – including a couple of close-ups -­ would seem to indicate that Tendulkar is cleaning the seam of the ball. As is well known, dirt is bound to accumulate on the ball, especially in the damp weather conditions prevalent during the Port Elizabeth Test. It is common practice, then, for fielders and bowlers to remove the dirt with the nails. Of course, they also have the habit of shining one side of the ball in an attempt to swing it by making it dirt-free. There is certainly nothing in the television images to indicate that Tendulkar is trying to lift the seam or tamper with it, which of course is against the law. There was no bottle-cap or any of the sharp instruments that were alleged to have been used by Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis on the Pakistan tour of England in 1992.In 1994 came the infamous incident involving England captain Michael Atherton, who attempted to rub dirt taken from his pocket on to the ball. Match Referee Peter Burge pulled up Atherton, who was fined 2000 pounds by England’s chairman of selectors. Atherton weathered the subsequent media storm, resisting immense pressure to resign. Interestingly, even on that occasion, the umpires had not reported any malpractice.”After having played international cricket for 12 years, I do know what is right and what is wrong,” said Tendulkar. That is a strong argument in his favour; another is his reputation. So well has he carried himself on the field that he has never even been reprimanded. The available evidence too is favourable to Tendulkar. The sooner justice prevails, the better.This unhappy episode, however, brings us to the larger perspective of world cricket and the following all-important question. If umpires and match referees can pull up players, who can pull up the umpires and match referees?The increasingly boorish behaviour of players led to the International Cricket Council appointing match referees and giving greater powers to umpires. But then again, the officials too can be guilty of mistakes or poor and biased judgement. What happens then? Should they be allowed to get away scot-free? Should not the ICC take action against such incompetent officials? After all, their decisions, sometimes even blatantly wrong, can affect a player’s future and reputation. Have the officials got the right to tinker so casually with a player’s career?Of late, these queries have become more vociferous. Television replays have shown the umpires in poor light, and some of the penalties announced by match referees have been so inconsistent that they have been difficult to digest. One increasingly comes to the conclusion that there are ulterior motives behind such decisions. It is very difficult to accept some of the judgments made by match referees like Cammie Smith and Mike Denness, and Monday’s ruling by the latter is one such case.How are ICC match referees selected? What are their qualifications and credentials? Do they receive a proper brief regarding the job? The last question is asked because there is so much inconsistency in their approach. There is no penalty for one particular player, but there is a severe penalty for another player who is similarly errant. Where is the justice, one may well ask. Is there no single yardstick? The ICC should tackle this issue head-on, sooner rather than later, before it becomes a problem that gets outrageously out of hand.

Karunaratne provides SL solid platform

An unbeaten century from Dimuth Karunaratne ensured Sri Lanka negotiated the opening day of the series with a sense of calm and lost only two wickets on a slow Galle pitch. Sri Lanka grew increasingly dominant as the day progressed. The final session produced over 43% of the runs they scored on the day, and ended with a punchy Karunaratne straight drive that took the score from 246 to 250.West Indies did themselves no good by dropping two catches in the middle session. The first spill didn’t cost them – Lahiru Thirimanne, the reprieved batsman, was disimissed soon after – but the other – a backtracking Jerome Taylor failing to grasp Dinesh Chandimal at mid-on when he miscued an attempted pull off Devendra Bishoo – certainly did. Chandimal, who was on 11 at that point, went on to end the day unbeaten on 72, having added 149 with Karunaratne.Karunaratne’s innings was a triumph of restraint and adherence to a simple plan. In the morning session, he left resolutely when the ball was angled across him, and didn’t get lured into indiscretion outside off even when the quicks went around the wicket. He read the lengths well, picking up most of his runs with checked drives through cover – he rarely went hard at the ball while playing this stroke, mindful of the slowness of the pitch – and glides and cuts behind point. Against the legspinner Bishoo, he used his feet well, coming down the track to either whip him with the turn or to get close enough to the pitch of the ball to smother any potential misbehaviour out of the rough.In the first two sessions, accurate bowling and a slow pitch ensured Sri Lanka never ran too far ahead of their opponents. But they took control in the period immediately after tea, when West Indies began proceedings with Bishoo and Marlon Samuels and kept them going in tandem for 16 overs. It was a strange tactic, given that West Indies’ attack contained four frontline quicks – it was, perhaps, an admission that they had got the selection wrong – and those 16 overs went for 53 runs – the run rate of 3.31 comfortably above the rate of 2.56 that Sri Lanka had scored at until tea.Both batsmen milked the spinners, using their feet comfortably to get down the track, hit a six each over cow corner – Karunaratne reached his hundred in that manner – and grew increasingly entrenched. It wasn’t until West Indies took the second new ball that Chandimal faced Roach or Taylor – West Indies’ two most experienced bowlers, and their biggest threats on the day. By that time, he had moved to 54 off 120 balls.The new ball did a bit, but not so much as to trouble a two well-set batsmen, and Sri Lanka saw out the last 10 overs of the day without too much discomfort. The one dicey moment they endured was a result of uncertain calling when Karunaratne tucked Taylor into the leg side. Jermaine Blackwood reacted quickly to the mix-up at short midwicket, but his underarm flick missed the stumps at the bowler’s end with Karunaratne a long way short of the crease.In the morning session, Taylor and Roach asked questions of the openers, but they survived their new-ball spells without too much alarm. Both bowlers beat Silva’s edge, but he played close to his body and didn’t follow Taylor’s swing or Roach’s seam movement with his hands.The runs came slowly, but the initial nerves seemed to calm against Jason Holder and Shannon Gabriel, who didn’t move the ball as much as the new-ball pair. Gabriel offered a few loose balls – including a full-toss that Silva square-drove for his first boundary, off his 44th ball – but bowled with pace and pinged Silva on the helmet when a bouncer didn’t rise as much as expected.The 50 partnership – the first for a Sri Lanka opening pair since Karunaratne and Silva put on 85 in Christchurch back in December 2014 – came up in the 16th over, and West Indies were looking just a touch short on inspiration and just a touch flustered by the number of quick singles they were conceding. But they didn’t have to wait too long for the wicket, which came when Roach came back on for his second spell.All through his first, he had troubled Silva by going wide of the crease and straightening the ball past his outside edge. Now he repeated the same line of attack, and Silva, now well set, was good enough to nick him.Thirimanne’s 62-ball stay was a struggle all through, characterised by an utter inability to find the gaps. He survived a couple of close shaves too. First, soon after lunch, he shouldered arms to a ball from Holder that snaked in sharply from around the wicket and narrowly missed his off stump. Then he aimed an ill-advised drive at a good-length ball from Taylor and nicked to slip, where Darren Bravo got both hands to the ball but failed to hold on.But having got past those alarms, and having experienced a small release of pressure following Bishoo’s introduction – he picked up two doubles, a single and a boundary off the first five balls he faced from the legspinner as he searched for rhythm – Thirimanne threw his wicket away. Looking to boss Bishoo, he ran down the track and went hard at the ball, looking perhaps to hit over mid-on. Extra turn, though, caused him to hit the ball to short midwicket off the inside half of his bat.

Shane Harwood’s five wickets helped Victoria seal their second win in a week against South Australia in Adelaide. While the Pura Cup victory was emphatic, this match was tighter, with South Australia showing some fight before losing their way at the end.The home side was boosted by the return of Shaun Tait, who showed what it had been missing with three wickets on return from a long lay-off. On a perfect spring day, he sprang back from elbow surgery, pursuing a typically full, and prosperous, line.He was the pick, even though Ryan Harris added his first five-wicket haul, including three in an over, while Dan Cullen offered a tight mid-innings spell. “He stood out,” the captain Nathan Adcock said of Tait, who he used in several one-over bursts. “A class above. I reckon he’s still got a bit more up his sleeve.”Tait may reveal just what next week in Hobart, where South Australia will head encouraged by their showing here. Concerns remain over a brittle top order, not least with Cameron Borgas, who made three ducks in a week to forget.Batting first, Victoria managed 263 on a turning pitch, thanks largely to Aiden Blizzard’s first one-day fifty and Cameron White’s slick 76. Blizzard cut and pulled his way to 72 and hit nine fours before he was trapped by one which skidded through off Dan Cullen, although replays suggested a thin edge.Despite a strong start in the second innings, the Bushrangers had to stave off the challenge from Mark Cosgrove, who made 92. He was beginning to threaten with Adcock (49) before the captain played a full toss too late from the excellent Harwood, who once again showed his one-day class, finding swing and fully deserving his 5 for 45. Bryce McGain, who was on debut aged 35, also bowled tidily, cleaning up the fellow first-gamer Andy Delmont (13) and profiting from Ryan Harris’ headrush on 19.Cosgrove, who fell to the mischevious tweak of White, and Adcock added 121 from 124 balls, and while they were together the momentum was firmly with South Australia, who finally looked to have discovered a sliver of the confidence badly lacking earlier this week. But their chase fell away in the face of some excellent bowling.

Following the sudden retirement of Nicky Boje, South Africa have included left-arm spinner Paul Harris in their squad for the remaining two Tests against India. He is the only newcomer in the 15-member squad and the second spinner, alongwith Paul Adams.Haroon Lorgat made the announcement in Johannesburg today shortly after South Africa suffered a 123-run defeat in the first Test at the Wanderers. He added that Morne Morkel, the fast bowler who impressed in the tour game against the Indians at Potchefstroom, had been kept on standy as both Dale Steyn and Andrew Hall have fitness concerns.”We did announce the squad for all three Test matches, but Nicky Boje announced his retirement and we were looking for a replacement,” Lorgat told reporters. “We’vedecided on Paul Harris to join the squad. We’ll probably ask Morkel to join the squad in Durban. This time of year, it’s always better to have people with you than allowing them to besomewhere on the beach.”Harris represented English county Warwickshire this year as a “Kolpak” player. Lorgat said he had considered another left-arm spinner, Claude Henderson, who played seven Tests for South Africa. Henderson is currently with English county Leicestershire as their overseas player.”With Paul [Adams] in the squad, and what’s happened with Nicky [Boje], I then went to Claude Henderson, who I thought would be a serious contender,” he added. “But unfortunately, myconversation with Claude indicated that he was not available. So the next best for us was Paul Harris.”Lorgat said the batting order would be discussed ahead of the Durban Test starting December 26, after the top three – Graeme Smith, Herschelle Gibbs and Hashim Amla – failed to get going in both innings at the Wanderers.When asked about Boje’s recent comments slamming the selection policies, Lorgat replied that it was rather unfortunate and his comments on South African spinners were misinterpreted.”It saddens me,” he added. “It’s not in my character to make statements that get people to react in that fashion. I thought I was speaking fact, that we don’t have a spinner who has really changed the course of a Test match for us. I spoke to Nicky for a long time before those remarks were made. But I haven’t been able to talk to him since then.”Squad Graeme Smith (capt), Jacques Kallis, Paul Adams, Hashim Amla, Mark Boucher, AB de Villiers, Herschelle Gibbs, Andrew Hall, Paul Harris, Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini, Shaun Pollock, Ashwell Prince, Jacques Rudolph, Dale Steyn

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has attempted to restructure its domestic league to make it more competitive. Each of the six participating divisional teams will now have its own selection panel and coach.When the Seventh National Cricket League kicks off on November 19 across the country, Rajshahi Division, one-day victors, are expected to play five home matches in a row. While Rajshahi enjoy the benefit of being based at home for the first half of the tournament, defending first-class champions Dhaka Division too start off their first four games at home, hosting Sylhet to begin with.Shahriar Nafees, the Bangladesh opener, will make his National League debut as captain of a young Barisal side. Barisal, seen by many as the weakest side in the competition, will be hoping to rebuild after losing bowlers Mohammed Sharif and Mosharraf Hossain to Dhaka. Shahriar Hossain, the former national cricketer, will return to the southern division after the gap of a year.Like Barisal, Dhaka will also have a new captain in Mohammad Ashraful, Bangladesh’s talented middle order batsman who struck a fantastic hundred to defeat Australia in this summer’s Natwest Series in England. Ashraful was chosen by Khaled Mahmud, the former allrounder and current selector, as Dkaha opted for a change in leadership. For Sylhet, Alok Kapali will become vice-captain under Rajin Saleh, the newly appointed captain.Teams
