Why Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies are in one group!!!

Why Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies are in one group
ICC World Twenty20 2009

How did Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies get pooled together for the preliminary stage of the ICC World Twenty20 2009? And why is India in the tournament's easiest group, relatively speaking? Did luck have anything to do with it? Partly. Read on to find out.

How the groups were made

The 12 teams competing in this year's World Twenty20 are the nine Full-Member countries and three Associates who made it to England through the qualifying tournament, which was held in Belfast. They have been divided into four groups of three each based on their seeding, which depended on their standings in the inaugural World Twenty20 in 2007 (for the teams that took part in it). Since India were champions they were seeded first, their opponents in the final, Pakistan, were ranked second, while the losing semi-finalists Australia and New Zealand were seeded third and fourth. The top four seeds were then put in four different groups for this year's tournament.

The best among the rest, South Africa, were seeded fifth and put in the same group, D, as the team seeded fourth -New Zealand - while Sri Lanka and England, the 6th and 7th seed, were placed in groups C and B. Had West Indies at least finished eighth in 2007, there would not have been a 'group of death' this year. But they did not even win a single game, losing to Bangladesh because of an inspired innings from Mohammad Ashraful, and were seeded 11 and placed in Group C. Bangladesh, who qualified for the Super Eights in 2007 but didn't win a game in that round, were eighth and put in India's group.

Group A - India (1), Bangladesh (8), Ireland (9) Group B - Pakistan (2), England (7). Netherlands (10) Group C - Australia (3), Sri Lanka (6) West Indies (11) Group D - New Zealand (4), South Africa (5), Scotland (12)

Each team will play the other in its group during the preliminary round and the top two will qualify for the Super Eights. What this means is that either Bangladesh or Ireland, or both, are assured of a place in the second stage, while one of Australia, Sri Lanka and West Indies will crash out after round one, leading to the possibility of another group of death in the next World Twenty20, in the Caribbean in 2010.

If two teams in a group have equal points at the end of the first round, the one with more wins will be placed higher. If they have equal points and the same number of wins, a likely scenario, then the team with the higher net run-rate will be ranked higher. Should net run-rate also fail to separate the sides, then the one with the higher number of wickets taken per balls bowled in the group stage in which results were achieved, will be preferred. And if the teams remain in a deadlock, then the winner of the group match between the sides will prevail. If all of the aforementioned tie-breakers fail, the teams will be separated by drawing lots.

And should the weather in England wreck all the three matches of a particular group, the top two seeded teams in the group will progress. No points, however, will be carried forward from the group stage into the Super Eights.

The Super Eights

The teams in the Super Eight will be designated as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 C2, D1, D2 depending on which group they qualified from. If the top two seeds from a group qualify, they will be seeded 1 and 2 respectively for the Super Eight regardless of which team actually finished first and second in a group during the first round. For example, if Bangladesh are first and India are second in Group A, Bangladesh will still be A2 while India will remain A1 for the Super Eight because India were seeded 1 while Bangladesh were 8. However, if the third seeded team in the group knocks out a higher seed, it will take the place of the knocked-out opponent. For example, if Bangladesh and Ireland qualify from Group A, then Ireland will be A1 for the Super Eight stage. If India and Ireland qualify, then Ireland will be A2.

During the Super Eight, the teams will be split into two groups of four - A1, B2, C1 and D2 are in the first group, while A2, B1, C2 and D1 are in the second. Each team will play the others in its pool with the top two from each group qualifying for the semi-finals. If teams are tied on points in a Super Eight group then the same parameters which were used to break a tie in the preliminary stage will be used, the difference being that only the Super Eight matches will be taken into consideration for most wins, net run-rate etc.

If all of the matches of a Super Eight group are ruined by rain, the teams will be ranked on basis of most points, most wins, net run-rate during the group stage and the top two will go through. If the teams still cannot be separated the semi-finalists will be picked based on the original seeding for the tournament.

A one-over eliminator, or Super Over, will be used to break a tie in a semi-final, if one should occur. However, if weather prevents the Super Over from taking place after a tie, the team which progresses to the final will be determined by looking at who has the most wins, better net run-rate, higher number of wickets per balls, the only difference being that this time both group and Super Eight matches will be taken into consideration.

The final, however, has no such provisions. If the final is tied, the match will be decided by a one-over eliminator. If the eliminator cannot take place because of bad weather, then the two finalists will be declared joint winners.

Knight Rider 2008 series in Danger ! Season 2 : Going to Cancel ???

Knight Rider 2008 series in Danger ,(Not a Joke)

Go to the site and sign the petition to save Knight Rider !

With the economy slowing business across the land, not even Knight Rider is safe. Recently in an effort to reduce budgets, Knight Rider's episode order was cut from 23 to 17. Next year, Jay Leno moves into the prime time slot on NBC, meaning that there is 5 less hours of television for shows like ours.

It is because of this reduction that we believe it is important to start now to show those in charge at NBC that we are passionate about Knight Rider and that it should be renewed for a second season.

There are three ways below to help show your support. Please check out our campaign forum for more ideas!

* Information !

* Sign the Petition

With thousands of signatures and continuing to grow strong, this online petition started by Anthony Pizighelli is something that even cast members of the series have signed!

Sign it now and add your voices to the total ranks!

Although The Nielsen system is outdated, and does not fairly represent the amount of people watching. We understand it is the industry standard for obtaining viewer interest in a particular television show. It is our sincerest hope that this petition will represent to you the commitment of the public in support of Knight Rider as a series.
NBC obviously believed in Knight Rider enough to order all 22 episodes. The series can be a viable resource for NBC if you allow the series to reboot and follow the path set in the 2008 movie. It is our belief that NBC has invested a considerable amount of capitol into producing the show, set cost, prop costs, salaries. Knight Rider is a viable product, if produced, marketed and delivered properly. We ask NBC to not allow a slow start and a poor economy cause a hasty decision that in the end will cost NBC money and viewers.

Another great way to contact NBC is via email. Through their contact form at NBC.com (select "Other" from the drop down), you can instantly send your thoughts on Knight Rider. To help you do this daily, may we suggest some of the following constructive lines:

Thank you NBC for bringing back Knight Rider, with Turbo Boost and KARR--what more could a fan ask for?...Well, come to think of it, a SECOND SEASON OF KNIGHT RIDER!
The reboot of Knight is the best thing to happen since.....the original series! We are looking forward to season two!
Gary Scott Thompson and the cast of Knight Rider are amazing! We just have one request for season two - can you resurrect Goliath?
All I have to say is that Knight Rider is truly "K.I.T.T.": Kool, Innovative, and Totally Turboboost!
All "KITT-ing" aside, Knight Rider keeps getting better every week--love that Ford!
Knight Rider is missing just one thing: MORE EPISODES! Looking forward to season two!
Cars are cool, but Knight Rider has taken that Ford Mustang to a whole new level. When can we start buying the mock-up's of KITT?
My family and I are thrilled that Knight Rider landed back on N.B.C.! Thanks for the great ride thus far!

Dambulla loses D/N ODI due to neglect

Dambulla loses D/N ODI due to neglect

The Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium which was to host the first two of the five match ODI series against India next week will host a single match due to the existing technical issues with floodlights, sources close to Sri Lanka Cricket said.
The venue which was built within a record 167 days has largely been overlooked over the years by the cricket administrations and sources said at least 12 lights need to be replaced if Sri Lanka wants to have day-night matches at the picturesque venue.
The venue was built in 2000 to provide Sri Lanka a chance to host one-day matches throughout the year as it is located in the central dry zone.
The Sri Lanka cricket authorities erected permanent floodlights at the venue in 2003 in time for the England tour of Sri Lanka with an estimated cost of US$ 250,000 with a view to increase the value of television rights.
Sources said that if the pervious SLC regimes had paid more attention to the venue, Dambulla would have hosted at least two day night matches during the Indian tour which would have not only given SLC a hefty financial benefit but benefited the people around the area.
“It has been neglected continuously and we are now paying the price for it,” an official who wished to remain anonymous said.
“We need to spend another three to four lakhs to replace those bulbs. If we did that the SLC would get an increased sum for television rights,” he added.
Dambulla, which was due to hold the first two matches of the five-match one-day series, will now host only the opening game on January 28.
The remaining four matches and a Twenty20 international will be played in Colombo during the brief tour, which ends on February 10.
The first and fifth one-dayers will be day games, while the other matches will be played under lights.

The revised schedule:******************************

* January 28 (Wed): First ODI (Dambulla)
*January 31 (Sat): Second ODI (Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, day/ night)
* February 3 (Tue): Third ODI (Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, d/ n).
* February 5 (Thu): Fourth ODI (Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, d/ n)
* February 8 (Sun): Fifth ODI (Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo).
* February 10 (Tue): Twenty20 international (Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, d/n).

Mendis, Kulasekara bowl Lanka to win

Mendis, Kulasekara bowl Lanka to win

Ajantha Mendis became the fastest bowler to complete 50 wickets in one-day internationals as Sri Lanka crushed Zimbabwe by 130 runs in a triangular series match here Monday.

The unorthodox spinner finished with 3-15 off 5.2 disciplined overs as Sri Lanka dismissed Zimbabwe for a paltry 80 after scoring 210-6.

Mendis, playing his 19th one-day international, broke Indian fast bowler Ajit Agarkar’s record of 50 wickets in 23 matches.

Extras were the highest contributor in a dismal Zimbabwean batting performance with 16. Stuart Matsikenyeri (15) was the lone batsman to reach double-figures. It was Zimbabwe’s fourth-lowest total against Sri Lanka in 43 one-day internationals.

Fast bowler Nuwan Kulasekara set up the victory when he grabbed three wickets in his lively opening spell to send Zimbabwe reeling at 27-3 before Mendis and off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan (2-4) completed the job.

Mendis, who was two wickets short of the record before this game, removed Matsikenyeri and Raymond Price before finishing the match with the dismissal of last-man Tawanda Mupariwa. Man-of-the-match Angelo Mathews earlier cracked an unbeaten 52 for his maiden half-century to help Sri Lanka post a competitive total.

Sri Lanka were struggling at 97-5 following paceman Edward Rainsford’s three-wicket burst, but the young middle-order batsman came to his team’s rescue in only his third one-day international.

Mathews, 21, added 69 for the sixth wicket with Jehan Mubarak (31) and 44 for the unfinished seventh wicket with Thilan Thushara (28 not out) to steady the innings.

Sri Lanka made a brisk start after being put in to bat as veteran Sanath Jayasuriya (22) and Upul Tharanga (42) added 51 in just 8.4 overs, but were pegged back by Rainsford’s triple-strike. Rainsford trapped both Kumar Sangakkara (four) and Chamara Kapugedera (four) leg-before and also had skipper Mahela Jayawardene caught by diving wicket-keeper Tatenda Taibu for no score.

It was the Sri Lankan captain’s third successive duck against Zimbabwe, including two in Harare in November 2008.

Ajantha Mendis to miss Bangladesh Tests

2008-12-13T08:06:00.000+05:30

Mendis to miss Bangladesh Tests

Mendis won the ICC Emerging Player award in September

Spin bowler Ajantha Mendis has been ruled out of Sri Lanka's forthcoming Test series in Bangladesh because of an ankle injury.

The 23-year-old, recently named world cricket's Emerging Player of the Year, suffered the injury in a club match.

Mendis will be replaced by Rangana Herath for the two-match series, which starts in Mirpur on 26 December.

But he hopes to play in the triangular one-day series, also involving Zimbabwe, which follows in January.

Mendis was an instant success when he made his Test debut against India earlier this year.

He took 26 wickets at a cost of only 18 runs each, breaking former England seam bowler Alec Bedser's 62-year-old record for the most victims in a three-match series.

Sri Lanka have won all 10 previous Test meetings with Bangladesh and, despite Mendis's absence, will be confident of extending that run.

Match scorecard

Sri Lanka won despite batting poorly in Sunday's final one-dayer

Sri Lanka wrapped up a 5-0 series whitewash with victory over Zimbabwe in the final one-day match in Harare.

The tourists had posted their lowest total in the series as Zimbabwe rattled them out for 152 with Ed Rainsford returning figures of 3-22 in Harare.

But Zimbabwe could not take advantage and lost their first six wickets for only 58 runs to lose by 19 runs.

Muttiah Muralitharan did the most damage, capturing 5-29, while Keith Dabengwa top-scored with 39 runs.

Despite some modest performances by Sri Lanka in the series, skipper Mahela Jayawardene insisted he was pleased enough.

"When we came here we set ourselves goals. We needed to win 5-0. We did that," he said after finishing the series with two ducks.

If the top-order doesn't click, the middle order must come to the party. We need to complement each other

Zimbabwe captain Prosper Utseya

"Yes, it wasn't convincing, but considering the conditions and that the oppositions played well in the last three games, especially with the ball, we have to take that as an achievement.

"We knew it was going to be difficult to get 250 runs on this kind of wicket and we knew we could not afford to play bad shots. We made some mistakes.

"But the most important thing is that the guys rose up under pressure and came back strongly. We never said it was going to be a walk in the park. We needed to play consistently."

Simbabwe skipper Prosper Utseya said: "If the top-order doesn't click, the middle order must come to the party. We need to complement each other. Guys are working hard, to be honest with you, we are just failing to get the results."

Malinga to finally get full contract

Malinga to finally get full contract
TV blackout in the offing?

By S.R. Pathiravithana
Sundaytimes.lk

Lasith Malinga -- one of Sri Lanka’s genuine fast bowlers who had been out of cricket and out of peer favour is to finally get his lost contract for 2008.

The Lankan contingent were to get their contracts renewed on March 1, 2008 but, owing to various reasons and bad handling of the issue, it was delayed.

Finally when the contracts were handed over at the end of the Asia Cup, the names of Sanath Jayasuriya (who had retired from Test cricket) and Lasith Malinga who had suffered a foot injury were missing. However Farveez Maharoof who had a similar injury to Malinga was given the full contract.

Subsequently, Jayasuriya was also included in the grade ‘A’ category (for ODIs only) at 40% of the full amount.

Thereafter with the intervention of the Sri Lanka Cricket Players Association on behalf of the beleaguered twenty-five year old fast bowler, a sum of Rs. 1.5 million was provided as compensation by Sri Lanka Cricket.

At a recent Interim Committee meeting however it was decided to back date the contract and take Malinga into the fold with the grade II contract to the value of $60,000/-.

Explaining the issue to The Sunday Times an IC member said “The decision to give Malinga a contract was a unanimous one and we would deduct the Rs.1.5 million already paid to him as compensation and give the balance with immediate effect”.

So far Malinga has played 28 Tests, taken 91 wickets at an average of 33.80, appeared in 53 ODIs and taken 79 wickets, at an average of 25.58.

The pinnacle of his career was his four wickets in a single over against South Africa which brought Sri Lanka a very unlikely victory in a World Cup tie in the West Indies last year.

Originally Malinga was overlooked for the full contract as a result of a SLC heavyweight being against him being included in the list.

TV blackout?

Meanwhile the existing TV deal with Taj TV is due expire on December 31, 2008 after the ministry of sports cancelled the deal that was due to run till 2012.

According to insiders it is remote that there would be any meaningful offers for TV rights for the ensuing term as there will not be any engagements against India in the foreseeable future. Sri Lanka is due to take on New Zealand and Pakistan at home next year.

The insider added “at present the situation is very grave. With the latest stance of India regarding the SLC over the IPL issue things are looking very bleak.

Now India has cancelled the two impending Indian tours of Sri Lanka and as a result we are not even in position to open a bid document calling for fresh TV rights... if we can not get that on time we will be in for a rough time in the very near future”.

Lankans ready to retain title

Lankans ready to retain title

CHRIS DHAMBARAGE-Dailynews

A staggering amount of US dollars 300,000 will be on offer as prize money for this years annual Hong Kong six a side cricket tournament which will be worked off on November 8 and 9 at the Kowloon Cricket Club grounds in Hong Kong.

The tournament is organised and promoted by the Hong Kong Cricket Association’s commercial arm, China Cricket International Limited. First played in 1992, the tournament is fully sanctioned by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and backed by the boards of the test playing nations.

England, Pakistan, West Indies, Sri Lanka, India and South Africa - all have triumphed at the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes. In fact Sri Lanka will be hoping to retain the title for the second successive year after having defeated the All Stars team by 16 runs in last year’s final encounter.

Four of the players who helped Sri Lanka to their maiden Hong Kong Cricket Sixes triumph last year have been included in the team that will defend the title next week.

The three newcomers include talented all-rounder Gayan Wijekoon, who has played for his country at test level and in last year’s Twenty20 World Championship in South Africa.

Sri Lanka went on to win by 16 runs for their first Sixes success in 11 attempts. In fact Sri Lanka have been drawn in the Sobers Group together with the 2008 All-Stars, Australia and Hong Kong.

The tournament has been further boosted with the inclusion of living legend Sanath Jayasuriya who will showcase his devastating batting skills for the All Stars team.

The Sri Lankan ace - one of the most lethal hitters in the game will join an awesome All-Stars team that already contains test greats Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Justin Langer, Stephen Fleming and Matthew Hoggard.

The All-Stars have been pooled with defending champions Sri Lanka in the Sobers Group, meaning Jayasuriya will face a meeting with his countrymen on day one of the tournament.

The Bradman Group contains India, Pakistan, England and South Africa.

Hosts Hong Kong have included in their squad five of the players who helped them win the ACC Trophy in Kuala Lumpur in August.

Hong Kong will once again be captained by Manoj Cheruparambil while the squad is rounded out by Phil Pemberton. Cheruparambil, Pemberton and Dar all played in last year’s Sixes.

The past winners of the Hong Kong Sixes: 1992 (Pakistan), 1993 (England), 1994 (England), 1995 (South Africa), 1996 (West Indies), 1997 (Pakistan), 1998, 1999, 2000 (not held) 2001 (Pakistan), 2002 (Pakistan), 2003 (England), 2004 (England), 2005 (India), 2006 (South Africa), 2007 (Sri Lanka).

Tendulkar spoke to the media after play in Mohali

India's Sachin Tendulkar has set a new record for the most runs scored by a batsman in Test cricket, overtaking the mark set by West Indies' Brian Lara.

Tendulkar, 35, scored the 15 extra runs he needed to overtake Lara's aggregate of 11,953 on day one of the second Test against Australia in Mohali.

Already the holder of a record 39 centuries in 151 Tests, Tendulkar hit the landmark runs off Peter Siddle.

A rapturous but sparse crowd in the Punjabi city stood to applaud him.

Afterwards, having been dismissed for 88 - and becoming the first man to 12,000 runs - he said: "It's definitely the biggest milestone because it's taken me 19 years to get - it's not something that can happen overnight.

"The journey has been fantastic. There have been ups and downs. So many times there have been stones thrown and you have to turn them into milestones.

"I knew I was 14 runs short [when Friday's innings started]. I have just been trying to focus on the game but whoever I see in front of me they have an opportunity to remind me.

"I decided to keep it simple and keep watching the ball."

Tendulkar insisted he had no plans to end his career in the immediate future.

"As long as I'm enjoying it I will play. I don't need X, Y or Z to tell me when I should stop or continue. When I started playing nobody told me that. So nobody need to tell me now either," he added.

He spent the tea interval on 13 not out, just one run away from Lara's record. But after the 20-minute break he hit his first ball for three down to third man and saluted the crowd before the Australian fielders went to shake his hand.

Tendulkar celebrates record achievement

Fireworks were set off around the ground.

India's President Pratibha Patil later said Tendulkar had "given joy to millions of Indians", while the country's Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh, described the batsman as a genius.

"I congratulate Sachin Tendulkar on becoming the highest run-scorer in Test cricket," said Singh.

"Sachin is truly worthy of the mantle of the greatest run-scorer in Tests. I have been following his cricket and there is no doubt that he is a genius."

Former India captain Kapil Dev says his compatriot is a hero to a cricket-loving nation and admire the way he has dealt with the adoration.

"I think he is one of the finest batsmen the world has ever seen," said Dev, who was once the world's leading wicket-taker.

"Millions of people in this country love him. Every kid wants to be come Sachin Tendulkar.

"He has set a standard for those young people to follow him. The country needs heroes like him.

"It is not easy to play for 19 years with the pressure he has had throughout his career. People love him. He can't go out, do the things he wants to do.

"Every simple thing he does in his life, people notice. Hats off to him for still coming forward to play cricket."

It was fitting that Tendulkar established the new mark against Australia, the overwhelmingly dominant team of his era - and a side against whom he has achieved distinguished success.

A prodigy as a youth, his century as a 19-year old on an ultra-fast wicket in Perth is often regarded one of the best innings ever to have been played in Australia.

He was only 16 when he made his Test debut, in 1989 and scored his first Test hundred, a match-saving one against England at Old Trafford, a year later.

Tendulkar was regarded by the late Sir Don Bradman as the one batsman of the modern era who most reminded him of himself.

A tremendous performer in the one-day arena, Tendulkar is also the highest scorer and century-maker in that format.

Former England batsman Geoff Boycott, who became the first Englishman to score more than 8,000 Test runs, breaking West Indies all-rounder Sir Garry Sobers' batting record in the process, told BBC Radio 5 Live that Tendulkar will hold the record for years to come.

But the 67-year-old still regards Bradman as the greatest batsman the game has seen, saying: "There's none of us who have come near him."

606: DEBATE

Where does Tendulkar rank among the greatest batsmen of all time?

"Tendulkar's handled publicity very well. In India where they're mad on cricket it'd be easy to get sucked into it, but he's managed to keep a private life and kept that at arms length from his public life and it's nice for him," said Boycott.

"There'll always be people who break records because nowadays they play more Test matches than ever, more one-day internationals.

"It was inevitable that people like Lara and Tendulkar - two of the great players of the last few years - would break records of some distinction almost every other year or two.

"I broke Garry Sobers' record and I said at the time that if you play enough Test matches and you're pretty good at what you do then you'll break records.

"But it didn't make me a better player than Garry Sobers and it won't make Tendulkar a better player than Bradman, a genius - the best batsmen of the lot."

Former England batsman Allan Lamb paid tribute to Tendulkar's feat, telling BBC Radio 5 Live: "He's very classical. He's a batter who keeps very still at the wicket. That's something that every youngster is told to do.

"He's got all the shots in the book. He can play all round the wicket and he's got a lot of time to play his shots, and that's what makes him such a great player.

"Lara got his runs in 131 Test matches, so you've got to say that's an incredible achievement.

"Tendulkar's probably not the player he was two or three years ago, so he will probably hang up his boots in a year or so. But then you've got Ricky Ponting steaming up from the back so I don't know how long the Indians will hold that record."

Third World Twenty20 set for 2010

2008-10-18T23:54:00.000+05:30

Third World Twenty20 set for 2010

India won the ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa in September 2007

The ICC multi-nation tournament scheduled for the West Indies in 2010 has been shortened from a Champions Trophy to be another World Twenty20.

It will be the third such tournament since the very successful first event in South Africa in September 2007.

The decision has been taken because this year's 50-over-a-side Champions Trophy has been postponed by 12 months due to security worries in Pakistan.

The second ICC World Twenty20 takes place in England next June.

ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said: "Although the World Twenty20 is to be held every second year, we decided to hold two on the trot to set the calendar right and ensure a better spread of tournaments."

FUTURE ICC TOURNAMENTS

June 2009: World Twenty20, England

September-October 2009: Champions Trophy, Pakistan

April-May 2010: World Twenty20, West Indies

2011: World Cup, South Asia

The event, scheduled to be held from 23 April 23 to 9 May, will be staged at three venues to be chosen by the ICC in January 2009 following nominations from the West Indies Cricket Board.

"With the ICC Champions Trophy being the final major ICC event of 2009, and the ICC Cricket World Cup being the 50-over event in 2011, it makes perfect sense to have a tournament of a different format in between," Lorgat said.

Twenty20 tournament final, King City:
Sri Lanka 133-5 (19 overs) bt Pakistan 132-7 (20 overs) by 5 wickets

Match scorecard

Jayasuriya hit two sixes and three fours at the top of the order

An opening stand of 66 set Sri Lanka on the way to victory as they beat Pakistan in the quadrangular Twenty20 tournament final in Canada.

Spinner Ajantha Mendis took 3-23 as Sri Lanka restricted Pakistan to 132-7 from their 20 overs after winning the toss.

Veteran opener Sanath Jayasuriya (40) and Mahela Udawatte (25) then laid the platform for Sri Lanka's victory.

Despite a flurry of wickets, Chamara Kapugedera (17 not out) saw them home by five wickets with an over to spare.

After Pakistan were put in, opener Shoaib Khan junior - who made his international debut earlier in the four-team tournament - fell early for a duck when he gave a return catch to Dilhara Fernando.

His opening partner Salman Butt anchored the innings with 44 before becoming one of Mendis's three victims, but Misbah-ul-Haq (23 not out) was the only other Pakistan player to pass 20.

Mendis had been rested when the sides met at the round-robin stage on Saturday, when Pakistan won by three wickets - but the emerging spinner made the difference with three wickets in mid-innings, including the dangerous Butt and captain Shoaib Malik, and his 11 wickets from three games earned him the player of the series award.

Sri Lanka got off to a superb start, with man-of-the-match Jayasuriya smashing pace bowler Shoaib Akhtar for two consecutive sixes while Udawatte plundered 14 from an Umar Gul over.

The rapid scoring meant Pakistan were always up against it, and although Malik took a tidy 2-17 with his off-spin, the hapless Akhtar's three wicketless overs cost 40 runs.

Jayasuriya won the man-of-the-match award, while Mendis was named as player of the series for his 11 wickets in three matches.

Meanwhile, in the third-place play-off, Zimbabwe posted 184-5 against Canada before bowling the hosts out for 75 to claim a 109-run victory.

After Canada chose to field first, Zimbabwe opener Hamilton Masakadza's 79 off 52 balls was more than the hosts' entire team managed.

He added 89 for the second wicket with Justice Chibhabha (40), while Elton Chigumbura (25 off 10 balls) and Keith Dabengwa (16 off six balls) pitched in with some big hitting in the final stages.

Canada never really got going as skipper Prosper Utseya took 3-26, Tatenda Taibu picked up three stumpings and only Abdool Samad's 29 saved the hosts from total humiliation.

Match scorecard

Alam's bold hitting in partnership with Malik inspired a superb Pakistan win

An unbroken 50 partnership in four overs led Pakistan to a three-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the quadrangular Twenty20 event in Canada's King City.

Jehan Mubarak hit six fours in 39 and Kaushalya Weeraratne added 20 from 13 balls as Sri Lanka posted 137-9.

Pakistan lost two wickets in the third over and were 92-7 after the 16th.

But Fawad Alam hit three sixes in his 23 off eight balls and successive fours from skipper Shoaib Malik, who made 42, sealed victory with one ball remaining.

Mubarak was at the crease in the first over of the match as Sanath Jayasuriya, after hitting Shoaib Akhtar for consecutive fours, top-edged to fine-leg.

His fellow left-hander Mubarak gave the Sri Lankans an excellent platform, striking three fours in one Shoaib over, and adding two more in the next from Sohail Tanvir.

Kaushalya Weeraratne hit a mammoth six onto the adjacent moto-cross track, but that proved to be the final boundary for Sri Lanka, as the final four overs produced only 18 runs.

After the two-wicket burst from Farveez Maharoof early in the Pakistan reply there was a brief flurry of runs, Misbah-ul-Haq hitting Dilhara Fernando for four and six in successive deliveries.

But a promising stand of 48 was ended by Weeraratne, who dismissed both Misbah and Younus Khan in the space of three balls.

In his next over Weeraratne had dangerman Shahid Afridi caught on the boundary second ball.

Alam swiped his third ball over the VIP stand at mid-wicket and when he just cleared long-on for six more in the next over from Fernando it left 13 needed from the final six balls.

They were bowled by Nuwan Kulasekara, who was also deposited into the VIP stand by Alam, and then it was left to the captain to hit the winning runs with his fifth boundary.

Canada Coach Looking For A Win In T20 Quadrangular

On the eve of the quadrangular Twenty20 series involving Canada, Zimbabwe, Pakistan and
Sri Lanka, Aaron Kumar spoke to the Canadian national coach, Pubudu Dassanayake.

Dassanayake talks to Cricket World® about Canada’s good performance in the recently concluded triangular tournament, their prospects in the quadrangular series, his hopes for the future and his thoughts on club cricket in Canada.

Canada recently reached the finals of the triangular series, involving Bermuda and the
West Indies, what impressed you the most about your teams performance in that competition and what can you take from that tournament?

At the beginning of the year, we had a few problems, as there were too many injuries and then some people were not available for different tournaments, too many players went in and out. But in the tri-nations series we had our best combination. The main reason that we did well in that tournament was that the team was together and they gelled, and they played as a good team.

I would like to give a special mention to Rizwan Cheema, he was playing international cricket for the first time in the tri-nation series and he performed really well, he scored two quick 50s and when an opener scores a quick 50 it gives a real boost to the whole team.

What are your thoughts ahead of the forthcoming quadrangular series at the weekend?

Since the start of the year, our main target was to play Twenty20 cricket because of the Twenty20 World Cup qualifier. We are really ready because we know the areas where we went wrong in the World Cup Qualifier. The preparation for this tournament has been very good, we are really playing together, tomorrow we play Pakistan. We are just going to play to our strengths, and hopefully we can pull of an upset in this tournament.

You mention pulling off an upset, what would you consider to be a good performance for Canada in this tournament in terms of results?

We want to beat Zimbabwe, to win one game in this series for sure, and then against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, if everything goes according to plan then we might be able to beat one of those teams. If not we want to pull off a good score and play a good game.

In Twenty20 cricket one or two overs is enough to change the whole game. At the same time if you make one big mistake then it is not easy to recover so it is anybody’s game and we are the host team we know how the wicket is behaving, we know the King City Cricket ground, the weather is a bit cold and our players are used to it, so there is a slight advantage to our side but it just a matter of us being able to do things right.

What are your long term goals for this Canadian team?

The main aim is that we need to prepare the team for the World Cup Qualifier next April - we want to play in the World Cup, that is the main goal for us.

Right now our team's average age is around 30, I am planning to bring that down slightly to 27 and we have a few plans to get a few players contracted to play full time.

But we are not looking at big changes until April. We want to go with the same team, keep that team together and do well in the qualifier, once we qualify for the World Cup we plan to build a young team for the 2011 World Cup.

What do you think of club cricket in Canada but in particular the Toronto and District league?

The Toronto District league is the best league in Canada, it is the only league that has turf - the other leagues play on a matting.

It is a really tough tournament, when I came over for the first time in 2000 I was thinking ‘this league is going to be easy’ but when you play, it is very competitive. All the teams are playing really hard and it is not easy to win a championship in that league, it is a real high standard tournament. 90% of the Canadian team play in the league.

Cricket World recently did a feature on club cricket in Canada where we focused on Civics CC. What is your take on this club?

They really work hard at their training. I know this because the team that I used to play for, we all practised at the same place. They were always reaching the play offs, every year , they have a good bunch of players. They are very unfortunate, they have just missed out a few times on winning the championship, they reached the finals and they have reached finals and semi -finals many times.

Civics is one of the teams that practises really well, and practice is well organised. They have lots of youngsters coming in and they are one of the clubs that are not scared to put youngsters into the team. They are a club that help the system a lot.

Sri Lanka's England tour at risk

Muralitharan (centre) will not feature in the Test series in England

The decision to let Sri Lanka players compete in the Indian Premier League may threaten the 2009 tour to England, says the country's sports minister.

The Test series in May clashes with the IPL campaign, which will feature key players Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara and Muttiah Muralitharan.

"Any problems should be discussed and sorted," minister Gamini Lokuge said.

"I told the board to talk to England to find a way out early if they find it difficult to play the team we send."

A total of 13 Sri Lanka players are contracted to the IPL.

The sports minister told Sri Lanka Cricket that the players involved should be allowed to miss the Tests in England to compete in India.

"I told Sri Lanka Cricket to release the IPL-contracted Sri Lanka players to play the IPL tournament and select a team with the remaining group of players, who are also equally talented, for the England tour.

"But I understand that (the England and Wales Cricket Board's) television rights and income for the proposed tournament could be jeopardised if you do not send the star players."

The one-day international series between England and Sri Lanka may not be affected, as it begins on 27 May, two days after the six-week IPL finishes.

Tendulkar could miss Aussie Tests

2008-09-23T01:49:00.000+05:30

Tendulkar could miss Aussie Tests

Tendulkar has scored more than 11,800 runs in 150 Tests

India batting star Sachin Tendulkar could miss at least part of the forthcoming Test series against Australia because of an elbow injury.

The 35-year-old will miss a domestic game next week after suffering the injury on a recent tour to Sri Lanka.

"He is not playing the Irani Trophy and has been advised a week of rehabilitation," said Board of Control spokesman Ratnakar Shetty.

The four-match series against Australia starts in Bangalore on 9 October.

And although Tendulkar was well below his best in Sri Lanka, where he managed a highest score of only 31 in three Tests, his absence would be a major blow to India's chances of avenging their 2-1 home defeat by Australia.

He holds the record for the most centuries in Tests, with 39 in 150 matches, and is only 77 short of beating Brian Lara's record for the most runs in Test cricket, the former West Indies captain having retired with a total of 11,953.

Tendulkar has had a number of injury problems in recent years and missed the first two matches against Australia four years ago because he was suffering from tennis elbow.

He underwent corrective surgery on his left elbow in May 2005, but jarred the joint while attempting to take a catch during the third Test against Sri Lanka in August.

Although he was ruled out of the one-day series which followed, team officials insisted the injury would only put him out of action for two to three weeks.

His recovery has proved slower than expected and merely adds to the dilemma facing India's selectors as they consider their batting line-up to face Australia.

With Tendulkar, former captains Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly, and VVS Laxman all in their mid-30s, there have been calls for the introduction of some younger talent.

But with Australia having named two uncapped spin bowlers, Bryce McGain and Jason Krejza, in their squad for the tour, the expectation was that India would name their strongest possible top six in order to try and capitalise on that potential weakness.

Speaking on Thursday, Tendulkar said Tests against Australia were now even bigger than those against regional rivals Pakistan for the Indian team.

"All the series we have played in the recent past, from 2001, have all been close ones," he commented.

"As we all know, (Australia) is the number one team in the world. They will come here with serious force. They still have a lot of experienced players in the team. It is not that it is a completely transformed side with no senior players in the team."

Sprint queen Susie
to call it quits

By Samiddha Rathnayake
Local sprint queen Susanthika Jayasinghe is finally calling it a day. The Nation reliably learns that Jayasinghe, 33 is quitting to start a family.
She is expected to make her plans for retirement public very shortly ending a glorious 17-year athletics career the highlights of which were her winning an Olympic medal and also a medal in the IAAF World championships.

In 2000 at the Sydney Olympics, Jayasinghe became only the second Sri Lankan athlete and the first female athlete to win an Olympic medal. She also won two World Championship medals – silver at Athens in 1997 and a bronze at Osaka ten years later. All her medals were won at her pet event the women’s 200 metres where her personal best timing is 22.28 secs. In the 100 metres her personal best is 11.04 secs. She also won several gold medals in the Asian Athletics circuit.

Susanthika’s last hurrah was at the Beijing Olympics where she managed seventh place in the 200 metres semifinals.
Along with athletes Damayanthi Dharsha and Sugath Tillakaratne, Susanthika lifted Sri Lanka athletics to international competitive level.

According to a source close to her family, Susanthika has taken this decision on advice from her doctors. “Most probably there will be a function in the coming month to announce her retirement,” Sunil Jayaweera, her one time coach said.
Jayaweera further stated that Susanthika has not yet decided whether to start a second phase of her life as a coach, but said that at the moment she would concentrate on her family life.
