In a ruling that has widespread repercussions for cricket administration inIndia, the Supreme Court has upheld a Kerala High Court decision that theofficials of the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) are public servants

Tariq Engineer01-Feb-2011

In a ruling that is likely to have widespread repercussions for cricket administration inIndia, the Supreme Court has upheld a Kerala High Court decision that theofficials of the Kerala Cricket Association (KCA) are public servants. Thecourt’s decision means that officials who are part of a private body, butperform what can be considered a public function, can now be tried under thePrevention of Corruption Act, 1988, which applies only to public servants.It is the first time the courts have taken such a view of sportsadministrators in India.A two-justice bench comprising Justice VS Sirpurkar and TS Thakur dismissedan appeal filed by the KCA president, TR Balakrishanan, and secretary, TCMatthew, who had challenged the High Court’s decision allowing them to beprosecuted under the act. The judges first heard the case on January 3,before adjourning it for three weeks as the association wanted more time tofile additional documents. The case was finally dismissed yesterday, withthe judges calling the High Court’s decision a ‘beautifully craftedjudgement’.Justice M Shashidharan Nambiar, who passed the High Court order, sought toestablish whether the officials fall under the definition of public servantas laid out in the act. The KCA had argued that it was a private bodysimilar to a club, and therefore did not come under the purview of the act.In its order, the High Court observed that the KCA had a monopoly on cricketin the state and performed a public duty and a public service, and so wasliable to be prosecuted under the act.”It [the decision] has far reaching consequences,” Matthew toldESPNcricinfo. “In sports associations, people may fight, and those who aredefeated may go to court. It opens a Pandora’s Box. People can takevengeance in vigilance courts. Nothing will progress. Honest people will notcome to work for associations like this.”One such association is the BCCI, of which the KCA is a member. The Indianboard has consistently held it is a private organisation and not accountableto the public, but the ruling opens the door for anyone to challenge itsofficials and those of other cricket associations around the country.The complainant, Balaji Iyengar , a chartered accountant and former Keralajunior cricketer, had filed the original complaint against the KCA in theVigilance Court two years ago. The court ruled in favour of the KCA, sayingits officials were not public servants, but Iyengar challenged the rulingin the High Court.”So far sports associations in India have had responsibility withoutaccountability,” Iyengar said. “Hopefully this will usher in an era ofresponsibility with accountability.”

Depois de 11 horas viajando, o São Paulo está em Rosário. A delegação do Tricolor chegou na noite desta terça-feira à cidade onde estreia pela Copa Sul-Americana, nesta quinta-feira, contra o Rosario Central, no estádio Gigante de Arroyito. A delegação desembarcou no hotel demonstrando cansaço, mas evitando reclamações para o último treino, nesta quarta-feira.

– É cansativo passar o dia fora. É muito ruim, mas é a logística e tem que respeitar. Não é como a gente quer, é o tempo que dá. É sempre ruim viajar para lugares muito distantes, mas vamos dormir bastante porque amanhã tem que treinar. Dá para descansar bem para estar 100% para a partida – disse Valdívia.

A viagem tricolor começou às 7h30, horário em que a delegação deixou o CT da Barra Funda. O elenco embarcou para Buenos Aires, a cerca de 300 km de Rosario, e iniciou um trajeto de cerca de três horas. Ainda no Aeroporto Internacional de Guarulhos, a delegação encontrou o técnico de vôlei José Roberto Guimarães, são-paulino e tricampeão olímpico, e o elencodo Bahia, que seguia para a Bolívia – o goleiro Jean, ex-jogador do time nordestino, falou com amigos, e o lateral-esquerdo Mena e o meia Régis, com passagem pelo time do Morumbi, também se confraternizou com o Tricolor paulista.

Já em terras argentinas, o São Paulo almoçou em uma churrascaria na capital argentina e, na sequência, viajou para a cidade que abrigará a partida desta quinta-feira. A segunda parte durou cerca de 40 minutos e, às 18h30, os atletas já estavam no hotel que abrigará o elenco. O hotel deixou uma mensagem dando boas-vindas ao Tricolor em seu painel.

Por conta da viagem, o São Paulo não treinou nesta terça-feira. A última atividade ocorrerá às 16h desta quarta-feira, no centro de treinamento do Newell’s Old Boys, arquirrival do Rosario Central. A imprensa terá acesso somente ao aquecimento, e o técnico Diego Aguirre definirá a equipe em treinamento sem a presença dos jornalistas.

Aguirre deve escalar três zagueiros, mas a escalação ainda não está definida. A escalação mais provável tem: Sidão; Militão, Rodrigo Caio e Arboleda; Régis, Jucilei, Petros (Valdívia), Liziero e Reinaldo; Nenê e Tréllez. A partida está marcada para as 21h30 e é válida pela primeira fase da Copa Sul-Americana.

علق محمد عبد الكريم المدرب العام لنادي فيوتشر، علي التعادل مع الأهلي في مباراة اليوم الجمعة التي جمعتهما في بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز.

وانتهت مباراة الأهلي وفيوتشر بالتعادل الإيجابي بهدف لكل منهما، في الجولة السابعة من عمر المسابقة المحلية.

وقال عبد الكريم خلال تصريحات عبر إذاعة “الشباب والرياضة”: “درسنا الأهلي بشكل جيد جدًا، وأغلقنا مفاتيح لعبه وكنا متوقعين هذه التبديلات، وأن نحصد نقطة من الأهلي في ظل النقصى العددي لنا، لا بد أن أشكر اللاعبين على ذلك”.

وأضاف: “تغييراتنا كانت هجومية وإذا كان مدرب آخر، كان سيقوم بتبديل دفاعي وليس هجوميًا، أبلغنا اللاعبين بين الشوطين أن لا يتعجلوا وستأتي لنا فرصة وعندما تأتي نستغلها وهذا ما حدث، حتى بعد ضربة الجزاء ذهبنا بانفراد، وفي النهاية هي نقطة غالية جدًا من فريق كبير”.

وأردف: “أحمد رفعت لاعب كبير وإضافة لأي فريق، لعبنا من غيره وفزنا، ونفس الأمر على سعد سمير وناصر ماهر، لدينا غيابات كثيرة جدًا، لكن نجهز باق اللاعبين ونعلم أن الدوري مضغوط”.

وأكمل: “لا أريد الحديث عن التحكيم، أحترم أمين عمر ومنظومة التحكيم ولكنه كان (معصبنا)”.

وأتم: “شاهدت كرة ضربة الجزاء، حيث كانت الكرة تسير تجاه أحمد عبد القادر ناحية الجانب الأيسر، وهناك شد للاعب الأهلي بالفعل، ولكن ليس تجاه الكرة”.

Cricket South Africa president Dr Mtutuzeli Nyoka has been asked to quit after a written notice was sent to him, on Wednesday, of a motion of no confidence against him

Firdose Moonda19-Jan-2011

Cricket South Africa president Dr Mtutuzeli Nyoka has been asked to quit after a written notice was sent to him, on Wednesday, of a motion of no confidence against him. “He has been asked to step down, that’s all I am willing to say,” a source close to CSA told ESPNcricinfo.The letter given to Nyoka serves as notice of a special general meeting that will take place in 21 days. “The only order of business on the agenda is a motion of no confidence in the President,” Gerald Majola, CSA chief executive said.Nyoka was verbally informed of the motion of no confidence on Monday but said he wanted to see it in writing before making any decisions.He is expected to accept his fate and may not even wait for the general meeting to do so. He told the that if he received written notice of a vote of no confidence, he would step down in a “dignified manner” so as not to tarnish CSA’s reputation so close to the World Cup.The notice sent to Nyoka, which is signed by the presidents of all CSA’s 11 affiliates, ends weeks of speculation that Nyoka would be given his marching orders following the bonus scandal, which Majola was at the centre of.Nyoka was in favour of an external inquiry into the bonuses received by Majola and 39 other CSA staff members after the Champions Trophy and IPL, but CSA opted to have an internal inquiry in order to exhaust all its own procedures first. Majola was cleared of all charges of wrongdoing by the commission and Nyoka said he accepted the findings.That spat was believed to have caused a “general breakdown” in the relationship between Nyoka and Majola, according to another insider, who also said that it became apparent that there was “only room for one of them” in CSA.The two have appeared to be at loggerheads since Nyoka was chairman of the Gauteng Cricket Board (GCB) at the turn of the millennium. In 2002, Nyoka resigned from his post at the GCB after unsuccessfully challenging then United Cricket Board (UCB) president Percy Sonn for his position.Nyoka returned to cricket in 2005, as chair of a 22-man steering committee that was set up to run the GCB and assist in mediating between warring clubs who were up in arms over the lack of transformation in the province.If Nyoka vacates his post, vice-president AK Khan will step in as acting president until the next election. That vote is scheduled for CSA’s Annual General Body Meeting in July next year but may be brought forward.Nyoka, who has been in office since 2008, will be the second successive president to leave office in this fashion. Norman Arendse, his predecessor, also had a motion of no confidence tabled against him before he resigned.

Sourav Ganguly has said he wasn’t bought in the IPL auction for reasons that have nothing to do with cricket, and that he doesn’t see a role for himself with the Kolkata Knight Riders

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Feb-2011

Sourav Ganguly, who failed to attract bids from any of the 10 IPL franchises during the auction on January 8 and 9, has said he wasn’t bought for reasons that have nothing to do with cricket, and that he doesn’t see a place for himself in the Kolkata Knight Riders set-up.Kolkata, a team Ganguly led in the first and third seasons of the tournament, had offered him a role within the organisation. “Shah Rukh Khan spoke to me about a possible role as mentor. I don’t think Kolkata Knight Riders needs a mentor. I see no role there,” Ganguly told . The team already has enough expertise in [Dav] Whatmore and [Wasim] Akram. I wanted to play and not mentor the team. I didn’t see myself in the sort of a role [Anil] Kumble has chosen [with Royal Challengers Bangalore].”The franchise struggled to produce consistent results on the field, and Ganguly said that was because the team suffered from a “confidence problem”. “I felt there was panic every time we lost. There was panic among the owners, panic among the players. But you need continuity in a team to deliver, like Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.”When we don’t win three seasons in a row, there’s an opportunity to rebuild. I understand Kolkata felt they deserved better and when they got an opportunity to rebuild the team, they wanted to bring in some fresh faces.”He also expressed disbelief that none of the franchises thought he was worth a place based on his cricketing ability. “I had the runs. Players of my age, [Adam] Gilchrist, [Rahul] Dravid and [VVS] Laxman are still actively involved. I haven’t been able to put the finger on the button why I was left out. Cricketing logic and past form suggests I should have been picked. There are several reasons I could have been dropped, but not for cricket.”At the same time, Ganguly rubbished the perception that he comes with baggage and plays politics. “I have played cricket, five years as captain and eight years under different skippers. I have helped in building what the Indian team is today. And this doesn’t come by playing politics.”The Kochi franchise did write to the BCCI after the auction to ask if they could sign Ganguly, but some of the other franchises objected to the proposal, and it was shelved, to Ganguly’s dismay. “I was very disappointed when the franchises stalled the repurchase. The rules of the IPL have been changed in the past. Every rule in sport should give an opportunity to play, not keep them out. Whether it’s Sourav Ganguly today or some other player sometime.”When he is finally done playing the game, Ganguly plans to turn his attention to running it. “I am mentally preparing myself for an administrator’s role at some stage. I would love to be part of the Cricket Association of Bengal at some point of my life. I also would love to coach the Indian cricket team as well.”

England are back in the knock-outs for the first time in four World Cups, and given the excitement they have served up in the past month, their Colombo encounter once again has the makings of a humdinger

The Preview by Andrew Miller25-Mar-2011Match FactsMarch 26, Colombo
Start time 2.30pm (0900 GMT)Graeme Swann’s expertise will be invaluable for England as they seek to stifle a talented Sri Lankan batting order•Getty Images

The Big PictureFifteen years ago this month, England and Sri Lanka met at the same quarter-final stage of the 1996 World Cup, only for an epoch-changing contest to pan out in front of an astounded crowd in Faisalabad. With his remarkable 82 from 44 balls, Sanath Jayasuriya not only ignited Sri Lanka’s charge towards their maiden global title, he signalled the end of England as a force in one-day cricket, as they failed to reach the last four of the World Cup for the first time in the tournament’s history.Since that match, the fortunes and expectations associated with the two teams have been flipped on their head. Sri Lanka went on to crush Australia in the 1996 final in Lahore, and have since contested a semi-final in 2003 and another final four years later in Barbados. England, on the other hand, have found a range of ignominious means to bomb out at the earliest opportunity – a trait they came perilously close to emulating this time around as well, following their embarrassments at the hands of Ireland and Bangladesh.But regardless of their numerous scares along the way, England are back in the knockouts for the first time in four World Cups, and given the excitement they have served up in the past month, their Colombo encounter once again has the makings of a humdinger. It is doubtless being greedy to expect their seventh consecutive contest to go down to the wire, but the one and only constant in England’s skittish campaign has been their ability to raise their game against more fancied opposition. And make no mistake, Sri Lanka on home soil present a formidable challenge – arguably the toughest assignment that any of the quarter-finalists could have landed.Four years ago in the Caribbean, the Sri Lankans were by some distance the best of the rest – the only team worthy of facing Ricky Ponting’s invincible Australians in the final. That they failed to bring home the spoils was no disgrace whatsoever, but while Ponting and his colleagues have since been vanquished at long last, Sri Lanka are arguably a stronger outfit than ever before. Eight of the 11 men who played in that final remain in their squad today, but crucially, sentiment has played next to no part in that fact. Two legends in Jayasuriya and Chaminda Vaas have been put out to pasture, leaving the stage clear for the likes of Ajantha Mendis and Angelo Mathews to bid for their own indelible mark on the tournament’s history.To judge by the narrative of their campaign to date, England will relish their underdog status – for it is a peculiar fact that of the eight quarter-finalists, they are the only side to boast an unbeaten record in matches against their fellow qualifiers. They salvaged a tie against India before out-muscling South Africa and West Indies in a pair of Chennai thrillers, and their never-say-die spirit will doubtless prove invaluable at some stage of a high-octane encounter.But can sheer tenacity prevail against a team so brimful with talented campaigners? Sri Lanka’s top-order triumvirate of Tillakaratne Dilshan, Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara is second only to India in terms of scorecard menace, while the breadth and variety of their attack is hard to rival – Lasith Malinga’s slingers and Muttiah Muralitharan’s enduring class epitomise the two extremes of a line-up that has men for all seasons and conditions. “It’s going to be a significant challenge for us,” remarked Andrew Strauss, never a man to cares to overstate the case.At least England have had a chance to put down some roots in the course of an itinerant campaign. They’ve had nine days of down-time since their decisive victory in Chennai, and the past week has been spent in the pleasant environs of Colombo, where they will remain in the event of progressing to the semi-final. Nevertheless, the sad news of Michael Yardy’s early departure to the UK once again speaks of a squad that is clinging on at the end of a draining winter, rather than clicking through its gears as the grandest prize draws closer. How many more “last big efforts” have they got in them?Form guide(completed matches, most recent first)

Sri Lanka WWWLW
England WLWLTWatch out for…It was on England’s tour of Sri Lanka in 2007-08 that Graeme Swann first showcased the skills and mindset that have since propelled him to the upper echelons of the international game. It was his first England tour since his ill-fated debut in South Africa seven years earlier, and with seven wickets at 22.28 in his four games, his determination to grasp his second chance was tangible. That refusal to surrender has driven England’s sketchy challenge throughout this World Cup, even in Chittagong when a dew-sodden ball drove him to distraction. He was immense in both Chennai victories, and his touch of class will be invaluable against such potent opposition.After 492 international appearances, 1343 wickets and almost 63,000 deliveries in a 19-year career, Muttiah Muralitharan is now a maximum of three matches and 180 balls from bidding farewell to the global stage. And in the event of an England win on Saturday, it will all end precisely where it began against Australia in August 1992, at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Murali, however, will not care a jot for such elegant symmetry – even as he approaches his 40th year, he remains as fiercely competitive and enthusiastic as ever. And, as his four-wicket haul against New Zealand last week demonstrated, his wiles cannot be trifled with, least of all by an England team whose collective performance against spin has been leaden-footed in the tournament to date.Team newsAfter a difficult tournament, Yardy was never likely to feature in this showdown, though his departure has been an understandable disruption to England’s preparations, with Adil Rashid – his nominated replacement – still finding his way to Sri Lanka from the Caribbean. Tim Bresnan’s troublesome calf has flared up once again, though he came through a fitness test without any visible concerns and has been passed fit for selection. Jade Dernbach, the surprise replacement for Ajmal Shahzad, has been preparing all week as if he is going to play, although James Anderson’s big-match experience ought to earn him a recall following a fortnight out of the firing line. The identity of Strauss’s opening partner has been confirmed within the squad, with Ian Bell believed to be the chosen man.England (possible) 1 Andrew Strauss (capt), 2 Ian Bell, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Ravi Bopara, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Matt Prior (wk), 7 Luke Wright, 8 Tim Bresnan, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 James Tredwell, 11 James Anderson.Fewer dilemmas for Sri Lanka to consider, especially now that Murali has been declared “100% fit” by his captain Kumar Sangakkara after struggling through the New Zealand victory with a hamstring strain. Sangakkara also acknowledged the potential weakness of Sri Lanka’s untested middle order, but backed Thilan Samaraweera, Chamara Silva, angelo Mathews and Chamara Kapugedera as “the best players we have to do that job”. One of the Chamaras – Silva and Kapu – seems set to miss out.Sri Lanka (possible) 1 Upul Tharanga, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt & wk), 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Angelo Mathews, 6 Thilan Samaraweera, 7 Chamara Kapugedera, 8 Nuwan Kulasekara, 9 Lasith Malinga, 10 Muttiah Muralitharan, 11 Ajantha Mendis..The pitch is flat, as they generally tend to be at the Premadasa, although the threat of thunderstorms adds an extra factor to the team’s preparations. Afternoon showers on the eve of the game caused the entire outfield to be covered in tarpaulins, which may just sweat a bit more moisture to the surface for the seamers.Stats and trivia England and Sri Lanka have faced each other on eight previous occasions in World Cup history, and though England eased to victory in each of the first five of those encounters from 1979 to 1992, they have lost two of the last three – including a thrilling two-run margin in Antigua four years ago. The overall head-to-head for the two teams could scarcely be tighter. In 44 contests, England have won 23 and Sri Lanka 21. However, Sri Lanka have won eight of their last 12 encounters, dating back to 2006. England did, however, achieve a notable success on their last one-day tour of Sri Lanka in October 2007 – Swann’s aforementioned comeback tour. Despite losing the first game of a five-match series, they bounced back to win each of the next three for a well-deserved 3-2 victory.Quotes”It’s not difficult for us to focus our minds on this game of cricket. It is a massive game. If we lose we’re on the plane home; if we win we’re in the semi-finals.”
Andrew Strauss believes England’s off-field distractions will be of no consequence.“It’s do-or-die for all the teams when you get to the quarter-finals. That incentive is going to be there, and both sides will feel that intensity and that pressure equally.”Kumar Sangakkara prepares for his team’s biggest match of the tournament to date.
