Pakistan’s national selection committee have named 28 players for the two-day high-performance camp to be held in Karachi from January 12. The camp consists of players who have impressed during the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy this season and will allow selectors to gauge the level of backup they have ahead of a heavy season.The players chosen include Sohail Khan, the right-arm fast-medium bowler, who, while grabbing 65 wickets in his debut season, broke Fazal Mahmood’s record of the best bowling figures in a Pakistani first-class match with figures of 16 for 189 against Water and Power Development Authority. Wahab Riaz, Rauf Akbar and Junaid Zia, the other top wicket-takers of the season have also been invited to the camp.The camp also features the 17-year-old Umar Akmal, the younger brother of Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran. He has amassed 849 runs in eight matches in his debut season, including scores of 248 and an unbeaten 186. Khurram Manzoor, the only player to cross 1000-run mark this season, Naumanullah and Shoaib Khan, the other notable scorers of the season, will also get a chance to impress the selectors.The two-day camp precedes two tour matches against the visiting Zimbabwe side before the five-match ODI series.Camp attendees
Nasir Jamshed, Khurram Manzoor, Afaq Raheem, Shoaib Khan, Usman Tariq, Umar Akmal, Asad Shafiq, Shahdab Kabir, Naumanullah, Asif Zakir, Kamran Hussain, Yasir Shah, Rizwan Ahmed, Salman Ahmed, Zulfiqar Jan, Sohail Khan, Wahab Riaz, Juniad Zia, Rauf Akbar, Azharullah, Samiullah Niazi, Fahad Masood, Tanvir Ahmed, Azaz Cheema, Mohammad Aslam, Imad Wasim, Ahmed Shahzad, Umar Amin

The Indian team has landed in Dhaka under moderately heightened security following the death threat from an Islamic militant group. They arrived without fanfare or scares, but to a throng of curious locals who were waiting in the hundreds outside the Zia International Airport. They emerged first from the aircraft and were taken to a VIP room, where the necessary paperwork and formalities were completed. They then boarded a bus through a private exit, and, with police escort, were driven to their hotel.While the security arrangements were slightly more elaborate than those in India, it was not quite to the dramatic scale of India’s recent tour to Pakistan. There, the streets were cleared each time the team ventured from their hotel. In Pakistan the motorcade was an imposing one, with motorcycle outriders, police jeeps and army rangers with mounted submachine guns flanking the team bus. Here, a couple of simple escort vehicles sufficed, and at no point was the normal flow of traffic interrupted by the local police.Sourav Ganguly spent a quick few minutes on arrival, answering questions. “We have just landed and we have no idea about the security situation. We are here to play the game,” he said, when asked what he thought of the security situation.Ganguly also dismissed suggestions that this series would be merely preparation for India’s home series against Pakistan in the beginning of next year. “We have to play to our potential and take it series by series. [Pakistan’s visit] is still a long way off. We have a lot of time to think about it.” This is India’s first full series in Bangladesh, and he added that his team would have no trouble motivating itself even against a relatively weak team like Bangladesh. “Test cricket itself is a motivation for everybody.”

While India seem to have only the security situation to worry about,Bangladesh under no illusions that the Indians have arrived with plenty to achieve. Anil Kumble, equal with Kapil Dev at 434 Test wickets, is certain to make the record his own. Sachin Tendulkar is one century away from drawing level with Sunil Gavaskar, on 34 Test tons. But, as Habibul Bashar, the Bangladesh captain, said recently, Bangladesh have a few kinks to iron out. “[Our] batting is the main worry. The top order have not put up scores when they should have,” he said. “Also, Harbhajan [Singh] and [Anil] Kumble take plenty of wickets in every Test.”This left Bangladesh with a tricky dilemma when it came to the type of pitch they wanted. Mohammad Rafique and Manjural Islam, the two left-arm spinners, have been the most penetrative of Bangladesh’s bowlers. But, with Kumble and Harbhajan in such fine form in the recent past, the Bangladeshis were wary of preparing a track that would turn. To complicate matters further, their batting has struggled so much against swing and seam movement that it would be disastrous to prepare a strip that assisted the seamers. Hence, as local sources suggest, it seems inevitable that the pitch will be a flat, batting beauty.With the Indian team safely tucked away at its hotel, the Bangabandhu stadium wore a desolate look. Groundstaff pottered about attending to the pitch and outfield, and other officials sorted out advertising hoardings, facilities for players and the media, and similar last-minute details. There was no evidence of the massive security presence recently reported in sections of the media.The first Test is scheduled to start at Dhaka on Friday, a day behind the original date.

A belligerent knock of 139 by Humayun Farhat, who overshadowed Usman Tariq in the opening stand of 244, helped Allied Bank Limited (ABL) trounce Service Industries by 10 wickets in the Pool ‘C’ fixture of NBP One-day Patron’s Cup at Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday.Humayun faced just 63 deliveries and hammered 19 fours and as many as six sixes in taking ABl to victory in only 20 overs.

Scorecard

It took India just 12 balls on the final morning to put the lid on their historicmaiden Test win in Pakistan. If Rahul Dravid, leading the side in Sourav Ganguly’s absence, had sat down and written a script for his dream Test match, it would have been exactly as this one played out. Pakistan were bowled out for 216 after following on, and India won by an innings and 52 runs. After 52 years of India-Pakistan encounters, 49 years after India first toured Pakistan, they could finally savour the sweet taste of victory here.And it was sweet. For the team had come together spectacularly over four days and a bit. When the final wicket fell, every member of the team rushed towards the stumps at both ends. Within minutes only the two stumps that housed cameras were left standing. Instinctively the team gathered in a huddle and began to jump up and down, unable to contain their joy. The huddle, which has become a feature of Indian cricket in recent times, was on display again. Some consider it to be an ostentatious display of team spirit and unity, but at the moment it’s working for India.But, winning a Test is not merely about huddles. It’s about sticking to a plan over a period of time and delivering the goods. For India Anil Kumble and Irfan Pathan did just that over two innings on a wicket that had nothing in it for the bowlers. And it was fitting that this pair bowled the last two overs of the match.Kumble began the proceedings on the final day, and bowled from around the wicket in an attempt to exploit the rough created by the fast bowlers’ follow-throughs. Yousuf Youhana played out the over safely, and stole a single off the last ball to retain the strike. Pathan was given the ball to send down the second over and he continued to bend his back and put in maximum effort. Youhana struck one gorgeous boundary back down the pitch, and just for a moment it appeared as though he was prepared to go after the bowling.Pathan then banged the fifth ball in short and Youhana swayed out of the way. Pathan repeated the exercise with the last ball and this time Youhana (112) had to play a shot in order to try for a single to keep the strike. He miscued his pull shot, and Dravid called early to get under the catch that sealed India’s win .This win is all the more significant as it comes in the first Test of a series. India have won solitary Tests in Dhaka, Bulawayo, Kandy, Port of Spain, Leeds and Adelaide before this one in Multan, but none of those wins, barring the one-off Test against Bangladesh, have resulted in series victories. This triumph gives India an excellent chance of winning a series overseas.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suggested that Sri Lanka’s forthcoming tour of India be split into two parts to accommodate both the Super Series, as well as South Africa’s scheduled five-match one-day series in the country. Tryphon Mirando, a Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) official told AFP that the proposal was “being considered.”The Sri Lankan team was originally slated to visit India for three Tests and seven ODIs in October and November, for their first full tour of the country since 1997. However, with the Super Series having been scheduled for October, and the South Africans making plans to play their matches between November 17 and November 29, the BCCI was forced to propose a split tour.According to the BCCI proposal, Sri Lanka will play seven ODIs in November after the Super Series, and return again in December to play three Test matches. This would result in India playing a total of 12 ODIs at home, against Sri Lanka and South Africa.India are due to tour Sri Lanka for a triangular series from July 30 to August 9, and will tour Zimbabwe from the end of August.

Pakistan will be represented at next week’s women’s tournament in the Netherlands, despite the fact that the Pakistan Cricket Board’s team will not be taking part.One of the messiest situations in world cricket, albeit domestic, has not been resolved despite the best intentions of Pakistan’s judiciary, and cricket administrators on both sides of a bitter row that has broken out in Pakistan over who has the right to run the women’s game in that country. A team chosen by the PCB was refused entry into the Netherlands competition, and would not have been able to compete anyway because it was refused visas to the Netherlands.This was because the International Women’s Cricket Council continues to recognise the Pakistan Women’s Cricket Control Association as the body most representative of women’s cricket in that country and had sent the invitation to compete to them.IWCC president Christine Brierley, who will see her Council vote next week on whether they should be integrated into the International Cricket Council, said the PWCCA team was expected to participate as they, like the other competing countries, had paid their entry fee.”I have received no legal advice at this point of time that says that the legal action brought by the PWCCA against the PCB has been resolved,” Brierley said. “I also have received no official government statement that advises the IWCC that the PWCCA is no longer the recognised body to represent the interests of Pakistan women’s cricket. This is an essential requirement of IWCC membership.”Curiously, the PCB perceived an enquiry from Brierley to them regarding the outcome of legal consultation between the parties in the dispute as a signal that some sort of impasse had been overcome.But Brierley said that both the parties in Pakistan had been told that a report on the dispute was to be discussed at the IWCC’s next meeting on July 24.”We cannot cease or change membership of the IWCC unless it complies with the IWCC rules and the PWCCA membership is assessed according to the criteria of membership. Both the PCB and the PWCCA have a copy of the criteria of membership. It does not assist world cricket and the IWCC to be continually involved in what is essentially a domestic matter for Pakistan cricket,” she said.The Pakistan Cricket Board’s reaction to their side’s exclusion from the tournament has been to demand that the PWCCA side not be allowed to use the word Pakistan to describe themselves at the tournament.Trouble between the two parties has been ongoing since last year when the Pakistan High Court ruled that the PCB was the body best suited to run women’s cricket and asked that the two bodies get together to sort the matter out. However, when the PCB started arranging trial matches an approach to the Court by the PWCCA achieved agreement that the PCB had acted outside of its mandate.The situation flared again recently when the PCB claimed that a resolution had been achieved. However, the PWCCA claimed the PCB was guilty of contempt of court.One of the organisers of the PWCCA, Shaiza Khan, took the PCB to task for what she claimed were “totally wrong and absolutely baseless” comments. She accused the PCB of “intransigence” over its treatment of court orders and said it appeared “to be demonstrating a sense of utter irresponsibility.”A restraining order had been placed on the PCB by the High Court ofMr Sana Ateeq Khan. When the PCB appeared to break that order by claiming differences had been resolved the PWCCA then asked for a contempt of court to be considered.

There were not many people who believed that Hampshire could win the countychampionship at the start of the 1973 season. Sure, they had a powerfulopening batting pair in the South African Barry Richards and West IndianGordon Greenidge. And with the likes of David Turner and Trevor Jesty theyhad batsmen who could continue the good work at the crease. But it was aline-up better suited to limited-overs competition and their weaker bowlingattack had always hampered their success.

This did not deter Peter White, their new scorer, from taking a bet at 66-1on them winning the championship for the first time since 1961. Some say itwas more out of loyalty than good judgment. White collected his winningsafter Hampshire had won half and drawn the other half of their 20 matches toclinch the title with a game to spare.Their batsmen lived up to their reputations with both Greenidge and Richardsnotching more than 1,000 runs each. But it was the bowlers who surprisedeverybody – Bob Herman, Tom Mottram and Mike Taylor took more than 50wickets each and spinners Peter Sainsbury and New Zealander David O’Sullivanchipped in with 40-odd wickets apiece.”We had a wonderful team spirit too,” recalls Turner. “Our bowlers performedsuperbly. However, a lot of our success came because of our fielding.Greenidge and Richards took everything that flew to them in the slips, andwe had some good ground fielders.”

Richards remembers the success but, like many international players, wasmore focused on the Test arena. “I don’t want to demean the achievement ofwinning a county championship but I was young and wanted to play Testcricket,” he said. “I eventually found the challenge had gone out of playingcounty cricket and I left a lot of runs out there.” His greatest challengewas a healthy competition that developed between himself and Greenidge asthey attempted to out-perform each other. It was a contest that many abowler around the shires would grow to regret.

1 Richard LewisA right-handed batsman and occasional leg-break bowler who played in 13matches in the championship-winning season, he was with the county from 1967to 1976 but had the misfortune of being understudy to the best openingbatting pair in county cricket at the time. Played for Dorset until 1989 andnow coaches cricket at Charterhouse school.

2 David O’SullivanA fine slow left-arm bowler who thrived in dry conditions, the New Zealandergrabbed plenty of wickets late in the season as Hampshire’s title chasegathered momentum. Achieved career-best figures that summer when he took6-26 against Nottinghamshire. Hampshire had to choose between him and AndyRoberts, the West Indian fast bowler, the next season and reluctantlyreleased the Antipodean. He played in 11 Tests and lives in New Zealand,where he is successful in the insurance business.

3 Mike TaylorRejected by Nottinghamshire after eight years, in his first season for hisnew county, the right-arm medium-pace bowler took 63 wickets at an averageof 19.33. He repaid Hampshire for their faith with solid performances untilhe stopped playing in 1980. Became marketing manager at the club in 1984 andretired last year. He lives in Chandler’s Ford, near Southampton.

4 Tom MottramThis was Mottram’s finest season in four summers in first-class cricket,taking 57 wickets at an average of 22. Mottram played 35 matches and took111 wickets. He is an architect in Poole, Dorset.

5 Bob HermanA right-arm fast-medium bowler, Herman took 81 wickets at an average of21.66 in his first season at Hampshire in 1972, having moved from Middlesex,and followed that with 63 the next summer. Followed in his father’sfootsteps by playing for Middlesex then Hampshire. Turned out for Dorset fortwo seasons until 1979 before becoming an umpire. He was a prolific hitterin club cricket for Sarisbury Green, where he teaches at the local school.

6 Gordon GreenidgeThe Barbadian-born right-handed batsman moved to England at the age of 12and, although approached to play for England, waited for his chance with theWest Indies. When it came he never looked back, playing 108 Tests andscoring 7,558 runs at an average of 44.72. Stayed loyal to Hampshire, andhis partnership with Richards provided the platform for many successes.Retained his interest in the game after he retired, and was the battingcoach for Bangladesh in the World Cup in South Africa.

7 Andy MurtaghA lower-order batsman born in Dublin, Murtagh played in five games in thechampionship-winning season in which Hampshire used only 13 players butstruggled to win a regular place in the powerful batting line-up. He is ateacher and in charge of cricket at Malvern College near Worcester. Hissons, Tim and Chris, are on the books at Surrey.

8 Trevor JestyAn aggressive middle-order batsman who started with Hampshire in 1966, Jestydid not enjoy one of his best seasons with the bat in 1973. Had more successas a change bowler, taking 35 wickets at 20 runs apiece. Jesty played 340games for Hampshire until he moved to Surrey in the winter of 1985. Spenttwo and a bit seasons at The Oval and then played for Lancashire. He scored1,000 runs in a season 10 times and played in 10 one-day internationals forEngland. Now a respected first-class umpire.

9 David TurnerAfter Greenidge and Richards in the batting line-up came Turner, a solidleft-hander who piled on 19,005 first-class career runs at an average of30.55. Born in Wiltshire, he played for Hampshire from 1966 until 1989 andscored 1,000 runs in a season nine times. Returned to Chippenham where heruns a key cutting and shoe repair business that he took over from hisfather. When he has time he plays social cricket and enjoys a round of golf.

10 Peter SainsburyA slow left-arm bowler and lower-order batsman, this was his finest seasonand he was named one of Wisden’s five cricketers of the year. Sainsburychipped in with more than 700 runs, but it was his bowling that turned thetide Hampshire’s way as he took 49 wickets at an average of 17.73. The onlyplayer to win championships with the county in both 1961 and 1973, he waswith Hampshire from 1954 until 1976. Sainsbury hit 1,000 runs in a seasonsix times and took 100 wickets in a season twice. After hanging up hiswell-worn boots, he became Hampshire coach from 1977 until 1991, and has nowretired to the golf course.

11 Richard GilliatLike many good captains, Gilliat was slightly aloof but well respected. Hisstrongest ability was his tactical awareness and a penchant for getting thebest out of his players. Although he had a strong batting line-up, winningthe championship title required bowling teams out twice in three days, andGilliat’s use of his attack could not be faulted in 1973. He played forHampshire in 220 matches from 1966 until 1978 and captained the county from1971 until his retirement. Gilliat hit 1,000 runs in a season four times andcaptained Oxford University at cricket and football. He is deputy headmasterat Charterhouse school.

12 Barry RichardsHampshire followers would drool over a Richards century before lunch, andfor good reason. The South African was a stylish and technically correctbatsman whose brilliance at the crease was curtailed in the Test arena byapartheid. However, he showed that black and white could mix by forming aformidable opening partnership with Greenidge. Richards played in only fourTests for South Africa, but enjoyed a batting average of 72.57. He was chiefexecutive at Queensland and lives in Perth, Western Australia. He is atelevision commentator and writes a newspaper column.

13 Bob StephensonThe Hampshire wicketkeeper started his career at Derbyshire before moving toSouthampton in 1969. Played in 263 games for the county and was captain in1979, his penultimate season. He ran a sports shop specialising in shootingand fishing and is sports coach at Twyford school near Winchester.

India’s one-day batsman, Dinesh Mongia, has joined Lancashire on a short-term basis as a replacement for the injured Carl Hooper, and makes his debut against Warwickshire in today’s championship fixture at Stratford-upon-Avon.Mongia, 27, is regarded by India as a one-day specialist, and has yet to play Test cricket despite 48 ODI appearances, including the World Cup final against Australia in 2003. This season, he has been playing club cricket in England in an attempt to regain his place, and back in May, he actually played for Staffordshire against Lancashire in the C&G Trophy, scoring 31 and picking up two wickets with his left-arm spin.Hooper, who scored 66 in Lancashire’s defeat against Yorkshire on Tuesday, will be sidelined for at least three weeks after fracturing a thumb during that game.

Michael Vaughan does not feel his substitute-fielding method is against the rules, but Rudi Koertzen, who will umpire the fifth Test, has vowed to crackdown if anyone abuses the regulation. Vaughan said his players were drinking so much that they had to leave the field for toilet breaks, although Ricky Ponting believed the continual rearranging was against the spirit of the game.”It is a situation Australia are not happy with but we feel we are doing nothing against the laws,” Vaughan told . “I am certainly not telling my team to go and have an extra five minutes’ rest. If a player needs the toilet he has to go to the toilet. We are not a team that is going to try to bend the rules. We are quite an honest team.”Koertzen told England had not taken advantage of the situation while he umpired in the first two Tests, but he did not watch the third and fourth matches. “I always allow players to go off as they need to, so long as they don’t abuse the system and are not acting against the spirit of the game,” Koertzen said. “You can’t go overboard and do it all the time. If that’s the case, then I will put a stop to it.”Billy Bowden, who will also stand in the decider, told the paper he would meet with Ranjan Madugalle on Monday to discuss the issues. “Until then, it is hard for me to talk about [them].”Vaughan said the debate should not get in the way of a fantastic series. “I do not want to get into an argument about it,” he said. “There has been a lot of talk and I am sure there will be a little more.”
