Twenty20 World Cup 2012 cricketTournament will start on Sep 18, 2012 in Sri Lanka. The last match of the tournament will be held on Oct 7, 2012.

Cricket now is mostly about the fascinating short version of the game called T20 cricket. With the T20 World Cup knocking at the door which is to start from the September 18, 2012 in Sri Lanka, the expectations from participating nations from all across the World are humongous. The T20 World Cup schedule has been declared by the ICC which will host 27 matches in the period of September-October this year. There has been much discussion about the Twenty20 World Cup schedule where team managements are in continuous discussion with the ICC to ensure a fair T20 schedule in order to avoid fatigue. The Future Cricket Tour Programs (FTP) is the operational body and developer of the World Twenty20 fixtures for the World Cup this year.

The first match is going to be played between Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka on September 18 as the inaugural match of the Cup. Critics have already started the blame game complaining too much of cricket especially Twenty20 cricket is the root for fatigue among players and the T20 World Cup time table should be reviewed in order to save cricket. The 20 odd day long tournament will be concluded with the final match played at the Premdasa Stadium on October 7. The T20 World Cup fixtures include participating nations like Sri Lanka (the host), Zimbabwe, Australia, Ireland, Afghanistan, India, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, West Indies, Pakistan and England. Despite the T20 fever of IPL donning the cricket World at present, the T20 World Cup is expected to throw a lot of surprises off the shore.

Dilshan Thilakarathne is the New Cricket Captain for Sri Lanka

2011-04-19T03:37:00.000+05:30

Dilshan Thilakarathne is the New Cricket Captain for Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's cricket authorities yesterday named all-rounder Tillakaratne Dilshan as captain for the upcoming tour of England, Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) said in a statement.

“Dilshan will lead the side in all three formats of the game -- Tests, one-day internationals and Twenty20s -- on the tour,” SLC said.

The 34-year-old Dilshan, replaces Kumar Sangakkara, who stepped down after Sri Lanka lost the World Cup final to India earlier this month.

Fitness worries meant the five-member national selection panel headed by Duleep Mendis, a former Sri Lanka skipper, did not name a vice-captain.

“The prospective candidates are nursing injuries, and their availability for the forthcoming tour is still in question,” the statement said.

Dilshan to be next captain

Dilshan to be next captain

Island.lk

by Rex Clementine

Explosive opening batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan is set to succeed Kumar Sangakkara as the next Sri Lankan cricket captain, an authoritative source at Sri Lanka Cricket told Sunday Island yesterday. The 34-year-old right-handed batsman is currently playing in the Indian Premier League and is expected to come down to Colombo during the week to meet the selectors and pick the squad for Sri Lanka’s tour of England that gets underway on the 14th of May.

"Right now, Dilshan is the only eligible candidate," the source told Sunday Island. "If you take Kumar (Sangakkara), he has quit. Mahela (Jayawardene) doesn’t want to lead the side anymore. Thilan (Samaraweera) is not too sure of a place in all three forms of the game and so is Upul (Tharanga). So the only choice is Dilshan," the source said.

The source also said that Dilshan will be only a short term captain as there were concerns whether he would be at the peak of his form by the time the next World Cup comes in 2015.

He will become the 11th full time Sri Lanka Test captain following Bandula Warnapura (1982-1983), Duleep Mendis (1983-1987), Ranjan Madugalle (1987-1989), Arjuna Ranatunga (1989-1991 and 1992-1999), Aravinda de Silva (1991-1992), Sanath Jayasuriya (1999-2003), Hashan Tillakaratne (2003-2004, Marvan Atapattu (2004-2006), Mahela Jayawardene (2006-2009) and Kumar Sangakkara (2009-2011).

Dilshan, the son of a police officer, is a product of Kalutara Vidyalaya and caught the selectors’ eye during Sri Lanka ‘A’ tour of England in 1999. The mass sackings aftermath of the 1999 World Cup saw him being promoted to the national side the same year and he caught the attention of everyone with an unbeaten 163 in just his second Test Match in Harare against Zimbabwe.

He was in and out of the side earlier on in his career and was a surprise omission for the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.

In 2009, Dilshan volunteered to open in Pakistan and his career changed completely from thereon.

He hit a century in his third game as an opener and a few months later was asked to open batting in Test cricket as well and responded scoring 92 and an unbeaten 123 in his first Test against New Zealand in Galle.

That year (2009) turned out to be an excellent year for him as he hit five hundreds in ODIs and six hundreds in Tests. Into the bargain, he was named as the Player of the Tournament in the T-20 World Cup in England, where he finished as the highest run getter of the competition with 317 runs in seven games at 52.83.

He was named vice captain to Sangakkara in 2009, but was removed last year with Sri Lanka Cricket providing no reasons.

Dilshan also had an excellent tournament in the just concluded World Cup where he was the highest run getter with 500 runs.

Sunday Island also learns that whether Angelo Mathews will recover in time for the England series remains in doubt and, in that case, the vice captaincy for the Test series in England would go to Samaraweera.

Murali slams SLC for recalling players from IPL

Murali slams SLC for recalling players from IPL

New Delhi: Retired spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan slammed Sri Lankan Cricket Board for asking its players to return home midway through the Indian Premier League for a tour to England, saying the No Objection Certificate had permitted them to play till May 20.

Muttiah Muralitharan

"I think the Board (SLC) has given them permission till May 20. I don’t know what happened suddenly. The players were told to come on May 5. It is the fault of SLC because they signed the NOC till May 20 so if they change it to May 5 it is something wrong," Muralitharan, who quit international cricket after Sri Lanka’s defeat to India in the World Cup final early this month, said.

"Players will get demoralised because if they go back on May 5 they play half of the IPL and they are going to miss a lot. SLC should have informed the players earlier, then the IPL franchises would understand and everyone would understand," he said.Muralitharan said that the incident could spark "friction" between cricket boards of the two countries and SLC would lose a lot financially if it antagonises the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI).

"There’ll be a little bit of friction between the board (SLC) and the players and even the Indian Cricket Board. If the SLC is not going to support they are going to miss a lot from India, because when India tours Sri Lanka it is very important and if we are not playing in the Champions League Twenty20 we are going to lose some money. Friendship between India and Sri Lanka will be negative," he said.

"We have 25 million dollars of debt after World Cup. You don’t have to antagonise India because when India comes only we make money and survive, so I don’t know what’s going to happen.

"It might get sorted. These things happen between countries but in the end financially we depend on India, whatever said and done. SLC will have to be careful," said Muralitharan. Courtesy PTI

IPL taking over the world of cricket

2011-04-17T15:16:00.002+05:30

IPL taking over the world of cricket

The cricket World Cup or the spectacle of cricket is now done and dusted. The world watched with great interest and expectation the unfolding of events and held their breath when the Indians were crowned the Champions of the world, which mantle they will hold for another four years.

With this title India which is cricket crazy, has already witnessed that frenzy reaching an unprecedented stage with every street, nook and corner having the cutout or the image of a Dhoni, Yuvraj or a Tendulkar if not some Indian star. It has also prompted them to claim that “Cricket was first invented in India and then exported under cover to the UK”.

I am sure most people felt that the IPL which kicked off on the 8th April wasn’t going to draw such large crowds or great interest levels but watching from the side lines one cannot digest the hunger the Indian crowds have for cricket in the country. Though whilst the fans seem to be keen and very animated, watching the game on Television I got the feeling that the Indian players in particular despite their efforts to conjure some interest appear to be tired and struggling to carry on. Considering the terrific returns the players are assured of and judging by the levels the brand IPL has achieved making it absolutely attractive to sponsors, the players who are the main actors of the show have to go on and got to stay loyal to it. looking back in history I wonder whether the former England captain and now the renown commentator Tony Greig gets enough credit for his role in the revolutionizing of the game in 1977.

Suraj Randiv and M.S. Dhoni in IPL action.

Readers old enough will recall the Kerry Packer circus which endured numerous court cases and other obstacles which became a reality creating the new evolution of cricket. It was the Packer Circus as it was called which introduced coloured clothing, night cricket, drop in pitches, the increased frequency of the usage of helmets and more importantly the enhancement of the player’s wage! The epoch where television played a huge role, and with it the money the game needed making the players more protected and established and transforming cricket in to a meaningful career began then. We could term it the first revolution of cricket!Also as the power wielded by the BCCI in global cricketing matters is high, I wonder despite the temptation of other boards notably England and Australia to emulate the IPL, whether there will ever be another league of that magnitude else where. In fact I can’t see the BCCI ever tolerating another competitive league! In the event such league is born the only action required will be to prevent the leading stars of Indian cricket participating and with it the mega bucks is bound to dry with the interest levels being low.

The fact of cricket today is, there is no money if there is no India. I mean the real India and the top players. It may come to a stage that with the high demand for finances to sustain the game most cricket boards are bound to play ball with the Indians to ensure visits to their countries to guarantee the cash flows are maintained and the finances are balanced. That is how powerful India is and the impact it has created in the game both on and off the field. I won’t be surprised if the cricket world sees an invasion of Indian cricket such as coaches, trainers, physio’s in other countries on the lines of Australia where every country wanted an Australian somewhere in their DMU’s. This is the reality of today and a fact one has to live with.

In that context the IPL becomes both important and critical to all cricket nations and we in Sri Lanka have already started to feel the heat with the call for the cricketers selected to tour England to return by the 5th May. I am a firm believer that the country is always first and can not be compromised and money is never an issue. There is no question about it. But having said that it is also important to be aware of the pros and cons and the long term repercussions when making important decisions and also how the decisions should be made and most importantly conveyed.

It is imperative to be able to achieve middle ground and come to a working arrangement and arrive at a compromise that is acceptable to all and close to the best rather than standing one’s ground! Definitely the tour of England by Sri Lanka is the priority and nothing can come close to that and that has to be remembered. However unless this seemingly volatile situation is handled carefully the winner will not be Sri Lanka or Sri Lanka cricket. I am sure about it!

Cricket World Cup: Bangladesh rally to shock England defeated !

Cricket World Cup: Bangladesh rally to shock England

ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 Group B, Chittagong:
Bangladesh 227-8 (49 overs) beat England 225 (49.4 overs)
Match scorecard

By Oliver Brett

Bangladesh celebrate their crucial victory

Bangladesh weathered a batting collapse to pull off a shock World Cup win, inflicting a second defeat on England.

England hit a modest 225 in Chittagong but looked on course to defend it after taking five wickets for 14 runs between the 30th and 40th over.

But a heroic ninth-wicket stand between Shafiul Islam and Mahmudullah turned the tables on Andrew Strauss's men.

The pair put on 58 from 56 balls for a remarkable two-wicket win that was sealed with six deliveries remaining.

The result keeps Bangladesh alive in the tournament and means that - even if England beat West Indies in Chennai next Thursday - they will have to rely on other results going in their favour to progress into the quarter-finals.

For that game, England will surely play more than the one spinner they did in this match against Bangladesh. If so, James Tredwell could make his World Cup debut under huge pressure.

Bangladesh, their startling batting collapse notwithstanding, were good value for a victory that helps to ease their memories of being bowled out for only 58 by West Indies in their previous match in Mirpur.

Shakib Al Hasan's Bangladesh were good value in the field

The job for England's bowlers was made tougher by the dew which descended as soon as the floodlights came on at the start of the Bangladesh chase.

The first ball was replaced before the mandatory 34-over change and only when England were on to their third ball had they discovered a way to keep it dry enough to establish some control.

However one constant disappointment was James Anderson, whose nine wicketless overs cost 54 runs and he was the worst culprit as collectively England conceded a shocking 23 runs in wides.

At one point Graeme Swann, the only spinner selected by England, visibly lost his cool, pleading for some assistance from Darryl Harper when appeals and various pleas for replacement balls were rejected.

Unlike in their defeat by Ireland, England did not lose the match because one player on the opposition took a difficult chase by the scruff of the neck.

This time - save for the period in which they were rattling their way through the Bangladesh middle and lower order - they looked an unfocused rabble for the majority of the match.

Things started badly with the bat after they had been inserted by the Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan.

Matt Prior's already chequered one-day international career hit a new low when, having been called on to open the batting, he was stumped in bizarre and avoidable circumstances by Mushfiqur Rahim.

As Prior absent-mindedly dragged his foot out of his crease, the Bangladesh wicketkeeper gleefully whipped off the bails, only for Prior to leave his crease once again - whereupon Rahim removed the stump and held a ball to it to make absolutely certain.

Matt Prior's dismissal was a low point for England

Prior's repeated failures make the selectors' removal of Steve Davies from the side after only one match of the series in Australia look ever more curious.

Strauss joined Prior back in the pavilion when cutting the off-spinner Naeem Islam to slip, and Ian Bell showed his shortcomings in such conditions on slow, low wickets. Having been rendered virtually runless, he tamely chipped a catch to midwicket.

With England a depressing 53-3 in the 17th over, it was left to Eoin Morgan (63 from 72 balls) to make his team competitive.

Morgan had barely had time to acclimatise to conditions, having been flown in from London to replace the injured Kevin Pietersen.

But he had enjoyed himself in the 2010 series in Bangladesh, hitting a century in Mirpur, and again showed himself adept at getting to the pitch against the spinners and hitting drives into space for the boundaries, which were badly needed.

With Jonathan Trott, who scored four more runs than his partner but faced an extra 27 balls, dinking the ball about for singles and adding the occasional reverse-sweep, the two batsmen took England to the 39th over without further loss.

Crucially for Bangladesh, however, when they did strike again it was Morgan who was dismissed, thanks to a wonderful effort from Kayes, who charged in from deep square-leg and dived forward to claim the catch.

That left Trott and Ravi Bopara to negotiate the five-over batting powerplay, and by the end of it both had departed to poorly executed attacking shots and England had only added 33 runs.

Swann supplied two desperately needed boundaries, but England reached only a bare minimum score when Paul Collingwood, recalled to the side but batting way down at eight, and Anderson ran some quick ones and twos in the final couple of overs.

Tamim Iqbal began the Bangladesh chase well with a controlled, though positive, 38 from 26 balls.

England's bowlers briefly found their range after Iqbal had been bowled by Bresnan, with two more wickets falling cheaply. However an 82-run stand from 104 balls between Kayes and Shakib put Bangladesh in an excellent position.

Frustrated Strauss still hopeful of qualification

Then Kayes was needlessly run out as he was beaten by a fine throw from Ajmal Shahzad and Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan was bowled as a bottom-edge off an attempted sweep against Swann crashed into his stumps.

Shahzad, by some distance England's most impressive bowler, moved two balls nicely off the seam to dismiss Mushfiqur and Naeem as England moved in for the kill.

Some Bangladesh fans, so buoyant for much of the contest, were already heading for the exits when Swann then supplied the eighth wicket as Abdur Razzak swung across the line and was caught by a diving Tim Bresnan at long-on.

But out of nowhere, Mahmudullah and Shafiul Islam took 16 runs from Swann's final over, and the ninth-wicket pair coolly took the requirement down to 33 from the last five overs.

Anderson had been the weak link throughout and he was unable to control his inswinger, presenting the batsmen with three more wides, one costing an extra four runs as it eluded Prior's gloves en route to the boundary.

Shafiul, the number 10, skewed a boundary off Bresnan from a thick outside edge in the next over and then drove the wilting Anderson past mid-off for four more.

The winning runs came when Mahmudullah hit Bresnan through the covers and the home fans celebrated wildly.

While England are no longer in complete control of their own destiny, the co-hosts know that wins against Netherlands and South Africa in their final group matches will seal a last-eight berth.

Cricket World Cup: Tillakaratne Dilshan column

Dilshan took 4-4 in three overs to add to his 144 in Sri Lanka's victory

By Sri Lanka batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan
BBC exclusive

On Wednesday, there were reports that I had failed a dope test.

It is not the first time these kind of allegations have surfaced - they have done so after every recent tournament I have played in.

I feel like there is an attempt to distract my game but I am not worried. I try to ignore the reports and concentrate on my game instead.

What actually happened is the International Cricket Council randomly selected Ajantha Mendis and Chamara Silva to give blood samples after our game against Australia.

They did not even take my blood sample so I simply don't know where these reports have come from.

But I was not trying to reply my critics, or to those reports, in Thursday's performance against Zimbabwe. I was not under any pressure, nor was I angry, but it is not pleasant when attempts are being made to distract you, especially when you are playing in a World Cup.

But what a great day Thursday was. It was my best performance in my one-day international career. It makes it more special that it came during the World Cup.

Upul Tharanga
Tharanga contributed 133 to the record first-wicket partnership

And full credit to Upul Tharanga; it was his support and determination that kept me going as we put on a record 282 for the first wicket.

I am really happy that together we got two World Cup records - the first time both openers recorded centuries and beating the 194 set by Pakistan's Saeed Anwar and Wajahatullah Wasti in 1999 - but our focus was winning the game not the record.

The pitch in Muttiah Muralitharan stadium in Pallekele, Kandy, suited the batsmen. It was a superb wicket for one-day internationals. Both captains were worried about the dew if they were to bat second.

Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura's decision to bowl after winning the toss was the correct decision, Sri Lanka would have done the same.

Our middle order batsmen went out while trying to score quick runs after myself and Tharanga steadied the innings. I don't think we should worry about the middle order. It was not a batting collapse. They had 20-25 balls left and they tried to get the maximum runs within a short period of time.

Then, as we were playing one specialist spinner in Muttiah Muralitharan, I had a role to play as a part-time spinner and I performed well but it would have been better had I managed to get five wickets in addition to the 144 runs I scored.

Tillakaratne Dilshan was speaking to Saroj Pathirana of the BBC Sinhala Service.

2011 Cricket World Cup Opening Ceremony in Bangladesh

Cricket is a great sport and the Cricket World Cup is the highlight of every cricket lover’s year. This time the event, which is held every four years, will be even more memorable for cricket lovers living in Bangladesh.

On February 18, 2009, Haroon Lorgat, the Chief Executive of the International Cricket Council, announced that the opening ceremony of the 2011 Cricket World Cup will be held in Bangladesh. The event will take place almost exactly two years from now on February 19, 2011, and proceedings will coincide with the opening game which will also take place in Bangladesh on the same day. That is exciting news for both cricket lovers in Bangladesh and the people of the country in general as the move will no doubt generate a lot of tourism and cast a spotlight on the country, hopefully helping to further improve its image and economy.

Haroon Lorgat also said that the number of matches to be played at the fifteen different selected venues had been discussed. It is obvious that the event should be used to bolster local tourism efforts and every endeavor must be made to ensure that it is a massive success. If you would like to combine sport with leisure, you’ll be happy to know that the World Cup will be making its way to either Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka, Narayanganj Osmani Stadium in Fatullah or the Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium in Dhaka. The final decision as to which stadium will be used for the event is yet to be made.

No doubt, this means that Bandladesh will experience a lot of tourist-related development as city officials try to ensure that it is completely ready to receive this prestigious event and the many tourists that travel with it. Though it is still some time before the 2011 Cricket World Cup takes place, fans would definitely do well to book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Visitors from other countries would also do well to take advantage of their trip and explore the country between matches so that they can learn a little bit more about the rich beauty that is to be found in Bangladesh.

Murali to be Australia spin coach

Murali to be Australia spin coach

Muttiah Muralidaran - once an outcast spurned by Australian cricket fans - will sign on as a guest spin coach to help mould the country's next generation of young spinners into champions.

In a stunning coup for Australian cricket, Sri Lanka's controversial spin genius will spend several weeks at the Brisbane-based Centre of Excellence in June for intensive training with rising Australian spinners, according to a report in the Australian newspaper Daily Telegraph.

Test cricket's greatest wicket-taker will not only impart the secrets of his spin wizardry but also record a spin coaching tutorial so his extraordinary knowhow will be passed on to future generations of Australian spinners.

It is a sign of how far the wheel has turned that Murali - who has been repeatedly heckled, taunted and even had fruit thrown at him by unruly fans here since being no-balled by Darrell Hair in the 1995 Boxing Day Test - will become Australia's potential spin saviour. Australian great Greg Chappell, one-time Indian coach and Australia's only full-time selector, masterminded Murali's visit by using his extensive network of contacts in the subcontinent.

"This is a wonderful opportunity ... Murali has probably forgotten more about spin bowling than most people will ever know in a lifetime," Chappell told The Daily Telegraph yesterday.

"Murali is one of the greatest spin bowlers of all time, we are very, very lucky.

"It is not just Murali's obvious physical skill that will be a huge benefit for our young spinners.

"It is also his mental toughness, his cleverness, his cunning and his ability to be able to set a batsman up and bowl 10-15 overs to a plan."

The Murali news is a shot in the arm for Australian cricket at a time when it conducts a major review into a devastating Ashes loss and tries to plot a fresh course into the future.

The nation's depleted spin stocks are one of the most pressing issues with 10 frontline spinners deployed at Test level since Shane Warne walked off into the sunset at the end of the 2006-07 home Ashes series.

Xavier Doherty and Michael Beer were both plucked from obscurity to wear baggy green caps this summer after Nathan Hauritz was sacked before the first Ashes Test.

Australian spinners have long struggled to unlock the secrets of the doosra and Murali was the man who made this mysterious delivery his own - even though the bona fides of his action were often questioned.

Murali's visit will also be invaluable for Australia's batsmen as his action will be recorded live and downloaded on the Academy's pro-batter video machine so batsmen can face a "virtual Murali" on the video-wall machine which mimics any bowler in the world.

Warne and former Pakistani off-spinner Saqlain Mustaq both had brief guest stints at the Centre of Excellence but Murali's visit - not long after he farewells international cricket at the 50-over World Cup starting this month - is positive news that Australian cricket desperately needs.

Chappell said Murali's coaching role would be confirmed once details were finalised in the next few weeks.

Mickelson eyes a big year with focus back to golf

http://www.island.lk

By DOUG FERGUSON

SAN DIEGO (AP) - One of the more compelling images from Torrey Pines apparently won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Phil Mickelson, in the middle of a five-week stretch of tournaments, took time off to rest Tuesday. That allowed his caddie a chance to sneak over to play golf at Whisper Rock before getting back to work at the Phoenix Open. Jim "Bones" Mackay wasn’t on the phone very long when it was time for him to play a shot, so he handed the phone off to someone in his group. That turned out to be Geoff Ogilvy, who provided details of the round. "We’re actually having Bones run up from the fairway to tend the flag for us," Ogilvy said. He was only kidding, and Mackay can expect plenty of that.

In yet another case of Mickelson’s entertainment value, he needed an eagle on the par-5 18th hole at Torrey Pines to force a playoff with Bubba Watson. The odds weren’t very good, and Mickelson knew that. But leaving nothing to chance, he had Mackay tend the flag as he stood over his third shot from 72 yards out in the fairway.

Having a caddie tend the flag for a full shot from the fairway is unusual, but not unprecedented. Then again, it was only nine months ago when Mickelson told his caddie NOT to tend the flag when he had a birdie putt on the green.

That happened in the third round at Quail Hollow last year, when Mickelson was trying to make a point about the severe greens. From 60 feet away, he felt his only chance at par was to putt well right of the cup. He ended up getting his par.

Few players are more unpredictable than Mickelson.

Yes, he is Phil the Thrill.

Phil also has a plan.

He came into this season with a pointed message that he delivered first in Abu Dhabi, then repeated last week at the Farmers Insurance Open, where he shot four rounds in the 60s and had to settle for second place.

Mickelson wants 2011 to be the kind of year he hoped 2010 would be.

He won the Masters last year, a moment made even more special when his wife, Amy, was on the 18th green for the first time since being diagnosed with breast cancer. His chief nemesis, Tiger Woods, was out of the picture with his personal life and golf game in a free fall. It appeared to be only a matter of time before Mickelson replaced him at No. 1 in the world ranking.

A dozen tournaments came and went, and the baton instead was passed to Lee Westwood.

It was only late in the season, before the PGA Championship, that Mickelson revealed he had been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. He never said just now much it held him back. Even now, he says only that he was lucky to have caught it early before it did any permanent damage to his joints, and that medication has allowed him to resume his normal work.

"We thought 2010 was going to be a phenomenal year," swing coach Butch Harmon said Tuesday. "He was in the best physical shape. Amy was on the road to recovery. And then along comes June, and the arthritic thing hit him. The mental side was the toughest. Phil hid this very well, but he thought his career could have been over with. That was playing on his mind."

Mickelson brought his entire family and Harmon to Abu Dhabi, where he tied for 37th. Harmon said they worked on his game in Abu Dhabi, and that Lefty’s short game showed plenty of rust from not having competed in two months.

Beyond the swing, they talked about course management.

"One of the things I told him at Abu Dhabi was his process of thinking wasn’t very good," Harmon said. "We not only worked on his game, but we worked on the mental side of how he plays. I told him, ‘I never want to take away your aggressiveness. I’m not trying to make you conservative. I’m trying to make you smart."’

That showed itself throughout the week at Torrey Pines, and even on the final hole.

His mistake was a tee shot that he popped up slightly and pushed to the right, although he appeared to have a decent lie, and the tees were moved up so much that Mickelson had only 228 yards left.

"We saw his ball and thought, ‘This is awesome.’ And when we got within 10 feet of it, going for the green wasn’t even an option," Mackay said. "He would have had to curve it a tremendous amount, and it had all this grass around it." The only choice was to lay up, and that’s when Mickelson sent his caddie to the green. Mackay didn’t think anything of that, either. Mickelson said a dozen or so times a year, the flag gets in the way of a wedge shot.

One of those occasions was at the Deutsche Bank Championship in 2009 on the 15th hole. A year later, Mickelson hit the pin on the same hole and watched it ricochet off the green. At least the second time, he chipped in for birdie.

Pin or no pin, he had to settle for birdie at Torrey Pines and a runner-up finish. Regardless, it was his best start to a PGA Tour season since he won the Bob Hope Classic in 2004.

Next up is the Phoenix Open, followed by Pebble Beach and Riviera. He has won each of those events at least twice.

Harmon began working with Mickelson in 2007, right before Lefty captured The Players Championship. Then came a wrist injury that summer. His wife and mother were diagnosed with breast cancer weeks apart in 2009. The arthritis arrived in 2010.

"It’s the first time in the last three years there hasn’t been any turmoil Phil’s his life," Harmon said. "We haven’t had one year where everything falls into place."

Murali speak about all time Sri Lankan destroyers , JVP

Murali speak about all time Sri Lankan destroyers , JVP

Muttiah Muralitharan has made a confusing claim about the recent Sri Lankan political history, when he told an Australian newspaper that a lot of Sinhalese were killed when “Communist Party came”.

Murali who is currently touring Australia had made this statement during an interview with renowned cricket writer Peter Roebuck. It was published in the leading Australian newspaper Sydney Morning Herald.

“Do you think that these troubles and growing up in a mixed community helped to give you strength of character? The Tamils had a hard time” Roebuck had asked Murali.

“The Sinhalese as well. They had hard times when the Communist party came, they were targeted and a lot of people were killed” had been Murali’s reply.

Murali has also recalled how his house and his father’s biscuit factory was burned down during violence in 1977, and has said that they have forgiven things because they are not “politicians”.

“Our factory and our house were burnt down in 1977 and that was painful for a time. We were saved by Sinhalese. They came and stopped the crazy people before they killed us. We never forgot that. We rebuilt them and moved on. That was our family way. We are businessmen, not politicians. My father kept things as simple as possible.”

Mural has also recalled the 1983 violence during the interview “There were riots but after 1983, it became normal. Remember I was staying at hostel in school for seven years and living with many Sinhalese and Tamils in the same dormitories so it was not that difficult.”

Murali also claimed that he was never interested in the captaincy of the team.

“Did you ever want to captain?” asked Roebuck and Murali replied “No! I thought it was a burden”

Muralitharan has also detailed his plans to build a village with all facilities in the Tamil areas of the country

“ After the [2005] tsunami we did something because the infrastructure was down. We provided free medicine and nurses, empowered women and built a village with 1000 houses and facilities like cricket fields, schools. I want to build the same in the Tamil area in the north next. [The] President has given us 50 acres of land to build 300 houses and nurseries and the rest. We expect 15,000 people to benefit for this project” Murali said.

He means about JVP avtivities. They are the only Communist Party active in those days. Then, there isn't any confusing parts in the Murali's speech as Dailymirror news said.

Sri Lanka Beat Ausis and comeback stuns Australia in Melbourne

2010-11-04T00:12:00.000+05:30

Sri Lanka comeback stuns Australia in Melbourne

First one-day international, Melbourne:
Sri Lanka 243-9 (44.2 ovs) beat Australia 239-8 (50 ovs) by one wicket
Match scorecard

Malinga and Mathews set a new one-day international record for the ninth wicket

A record ninth-wicket partnership between Angelo Mathews and Lasith Malinga took Sri Lanka from the brink of defeat to victory against Australia.

Australia made 239-8 and had Sri Lanka rattled at 107-8, with Xavier Doherty taking four wickets and a run-out.

But then Mathews (77 not out) and Malinga (56) put on 132 before Muttiah Muralitharan hit the winning run.

Australia will play Sri Lanka in two more one-dayers before taking on England in the five-Test Ashes series.

Mathews and Malinga's ninth-wicket stand was a record in one-day international cricket, beating the previous mark of 126 set by India pair Kapil Dev and Syed Kirmani in the 1983 World Cup against Zimbabwe at Tunbridge Wells.

"It was a dramatic finish and the way Lasith batted was excellent," said man-of-the-match Mathews, whose unbeaten 77 came from 84 deliveries.

606: DEBATE

Have the Aussies forgotten how to win?

Dilbert

"I gave the spinners to Lasith to deal with while I took on the pace. I'm still catching my breath and to do this against Australia is a great achievement."

Until tail-ender Malinga joined 23-year-old Mathews at the crease, it seemed like the headlines would be stolen by debutant Doherty, who finished with figures of 4-46.

His left-arm spin clean bowled captain Kumar Sangakkara for 49, before Mahela Jayawardene, Chamara Silva and Nuwan Kulasekara - for a duck - also fell to the slow left-armer.

The 27-year-old had earlier removed Upul Tharanga with a superb flicked throw from mid-off.

Sri Lanka had collapsed to 107-8 and an early finish was on the cards, but Malinga had other ideas.

The pace bowler became a potent striker of the ball, smashing 56 from 48 balls and hitting six fours and two sixes.

HIGHEST ODI NINTH-WICKET STANDS

132 - AD Mathews & SL Malinga, SL v Aus, Nov 2010

126* - Kapil Dev & SMH Kirmani, Ind v Zim, Jun 1983

118 - JP Yadav & IK Pathan, Ind v NZ, Aug 2005

103 - SM Pollock & TM Odoyo, Africa XI v Asia XI, Jun 2007

101 - MS Dhoni & RP Singh, Ind v WI, Jun 2009

Unfortunately for the sprightly paceman, with the scores level and more than six overs to spare, Steve Smith made him pay for a dicey run with a direct hit, with one run needed for victory and one wicket remaining.

Mathews saw out the rest of the over to leave last man Muralitharan on strike.

One of the greatest bowlers of all time then became his country's saviour with the bat, hitting Shane Watson for four with the second ball of the 45th over.

Earlier, Michael Hussey scored an unbeaten 71 although the home side were restricted to 239-8 thanks to a brilliant performance from 21-year-old Thisara Perera, who took 5-46 from eight overs.

Australia stand-in captain Michael Clarke paid tribute to Sri Lanka but admitted his side were finding it hard to buy a win - having now six consecutive matches in all formats of the game.

"We probably could have been better with bat, and with Sri Lanka at 107-8 we should have won the game," said the skipper.

"All the boys are disappointed. We can't seem to turn the corner and get over the winning line.

"Sri Lanka are a great example - you can always win the game from whatever position you are in."

Clarke was deputising for skipper Ricky Ponting, who was on compassionate leave to attend the funeral of his grandmother in Launceston.

Sri Lankan U-19s tie one-day 2010

2010-08-15T15:33:00.001+05:30

Lankan U-19s tie one-day series

CANTERBURY: England Under-19s prevailed over Sri Lanka Under-19s by 51 runs (D/L method) in the rain-affected fifth game in Canterbury as the visitors succumbed for 125, chasing 177 in 41 overs.
England had struggled batting first and only managed 184 before being bowled out in 48.2 overs, but it proved sufficient to level the five-match series two-all. The teams share the spoils with the third game having been abandoned due to rain.

The hosts elected to bat and got off to a confident start, the openers adding 40 in 7.2 overs before Bhanuka Rajapaksa dismissed Joe Root. Lewis Gregory supported the set opener Jack Manuel, taking the score to 74 in 14.2 overs before wickets began to tumble.
Lahiru Jayaratne was the main tormentor, dismissing Gregory and Luke Wells within the space of three balls. Ateeq Javid did not last long and was run out for 9 as the innings began to lose steam. When Manuel fell for a fluent 63 off 74 balls with the score on 117, Sri Lanka sensed a chance to skittle out the opposition under 150. However, captain Paul Best, coming in at eight, put paid to those hopes with a responsible unbeaten 28. The rest of the tail held on to lift England to 184.

Sri Lanka’s top order found the pair of Matt Dunn and David Payne too hot to handle. Ramith Rambukwella scored 16 runs as the opening batsmen added 21 in the first five overs. Things changed quickly after that, and 21 for 0 soon became 28 for 4. When Dhanushka Gunathilleke was dismissed for 5, Sri Lanka had lost half their side for 43. Rain intervened at this juncture and having lost five top-order wickets Sri Lanka came back facing a steeper target. Though three lower-order batsmen managed 20s, it was a task too steep for them and they were bowled out in the 35th over, Dunn and Payne sharing seven wickets in all.

Best was delighted with the result, saying after the match: “It was great to win the final match and level the one day series. The result was a fair reflection of the strength of the two teams and it was fantastic for England players ending their U19s career to finish on a high.”
Scores: England Under-19s 184 (48.2) (J Manuel 63, P Best 28 n.o., Lahiru Jayaratne 3/22)
Sri Lanka Under-19s 125 (34.1) (Denuwan Rajakaruna 28, Akshu Fernando 23, Chatura Peiris 26, M Dunn 3/15, D Payne 4/40).

Sri Lankan World cup venues to be used for West Windies tour 2010

World cup venues to be used for Windies tour

By Sa’adi Thawfeeq
Sri Lanka Cricket is planning to play all the matches during the West Indies tour here in November-December at the three World Cup venues – R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sooriyawewa in Hambantota and Pallakele in Kandy.

West Indies are due to play a series of three Tests and five One-Day Internationals during their tour of Sri Lanka. Presently, the venues allocated for the Tests are Dambulla, SSC and P Sara Oval and for the five ODIs – Hambantota, Galle, SSC and R Premadasa Stadium.
Sri Lanka Cricket secretary Nishantha Ranatunga told The Nation, that the venues decided are provisional and that there is every possibility that the eight matches (3 Tests and 5 ODIs) could be played at the three World Cup venues.

“We want to give our national players the maximum opportunity of playing at these three venues ahead of the World Cup matches,” said Ranatunga.
“The playing areas at Hambantota, Pallakele and R Premadasa Stadium are ready our only concern is the construction of the stadium around it. We will review the work in progress by end of September and then decide whether the matches can be played there,” he said.
Ranatunga also stated that every opportunity is being given to the national selectors to pick the best side for the World Cup.

“We already have India and New Zealand playing in a tri-series. There is also South Africa ‘A’ playing concurrently with Sri Lanka ‘A’. Pakistan ‘A’ is also due shortly to play in two unofficial tests and take part in a one-day tri-series. There is enough opportunity on offer for the players to perform and compete for places before the final selection,” said Ranatunga.
Pallakele hosted the first unofficial 4-day test between Sri Lanka ‘A’ and South ‘A’ which ended on Friday. Hambantota is slotted to host the first unofficial 4-day test between Sri Lanka ‘A’ and Pakistan ‘A’ from September 9-12.

The 14th edition of Cricket World Cup is scheduled to be held from February 17 to April 2 with Sri Lanka due to host 12 of the 49 matches which includes five of their six group matches at R. Premadasa Stadium (3 matches) Hambantota (1) and Pallakele (1) plus the second quarter-final and the first semi-final (both at R Premadasa Stadium). Sri Lanka will also host all the group matches played by Pakistan at all three venues.

West Indies tour of Sri Lanka (provisional itinerary)
Nov 16-20: 1st Test: Sri Lanka v West Indies at Dambulla
Nov 24-28: 2nd Test: Sri Lanka v West Indies at SSC

Murali admired in South America too!

By Rossana Favero-Karunaratna

While we celebrate the outstanding record of Muttiah Muralitharan ,it is fantastic to get to know that his achievement will reach Latin America too, the land of soccer. Why? Because cricket is starting to become really popular in that region, although the first international cricket match was registered in the XIX century!!

The oldest international cricket match, registered in South America was played in 1868. It was the first international match of the MVCC-Montevideo Cricket Club from Uruguay against the Buenos Aires Cricket Club from Argentina. It took place at the MVCCground called La Blanqueada.

The Montevideo Cricket Club (MVCC) is a multisport club founded in 1861 by English immigrants. Its predecessor was the Victoria Cricket Club, which was founded in 1842. Later rugby was played as well.

Argentine cricket claims to be really old. too. They celebrated their 200th anniversary on 21 October 2006. Cricket Argentina reports that "An event was held at San Antonio College, where the first recorded match was played back in 1806 by British Soldiers. The history of cricket in Argentina can roughly be divided into various phases. From 1806 to 1900 cricket was established in Argentina, with the first international matches played, the major clubs founded, and the great North v South contest beginning. The Buenos Aires Cricket Club in Palermo was inaugurated in 1864, and is the historical reference for cricket in the country. Now known as the Buenos Aires Cricket & Rugby Club, a project is in place where cricket will once again hopefully become a practiced sport at this famous club".

While Argentina first played international cricket in 1868 against Uruguay as mentioned above, their international competition against Brazil date back to 1888, and against Chile to 1893, this encounter is known for the Argentine team taking three and a half days to reach Santiago in Chile, crossing the Andes by mule! In 1891 the famous annual three-day North v South fixture was played for the very first time, and is still today a highlight of the domestic calendar. The first league competition was held in 1897.

The Argentine Cricket Association was founded in 1913, and will celebrate their centenary in 2013.The Association reports that the years from 1900 to 1939 are considered the golden years where cricket reached a high standard with many players reaching English county level. Argentina played first class matches between 1911 and 1938. Unfortunately the sport went into decline after World War II, until Argentina became an Associate member of the ICC in 1974, and took part in its first ICC Trophy in 1979.

Brazil became an ICC member in the year 2002. Their international debut came in 2006 after their membership , when they took part in Division Three of the ICC Americas Championship in Suriname.

Brazil won the 2009 ICC Americas Championship Division Three, winning all of its matches against Belize, Chile and Peru. This victory enabled Brazil to qualify for the 2010 ICC Americas Championship Division Two. However, they struggled in this higher grade. They lost all of their four matches and were relegated back to Division Three.

Cricket has been played in Peru for 150 years, at the really splendid Lima Cricket & Football Club. The Lima Cricket and Football Club is the oldest Cricket Club in South America created 151 years ago

Cricket in Peru is undergoing resurgence as a recently-admitted Affiliate Member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and a founder member of Cricket South America, along with Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Peru gained affiliate membership of the ICC on 29th June 2007. They have played in every edition of the South American Championships from 1997 onwards, hosting in 1999 and 2007. They have competed in the ICC Americas Championship since 2008.

Cricket has been played in Panama for almost one hundred years . It was introduced to the country by West Indians and South Asians who settled during the canal construction days. The game is most popular today among the descendants of these workers.

Their first recorded match was against Trinidad and Tobago in 1964 and in recent years a friendly series played against Venezuela in the year 2000 which they won 1-0. The team was invited to play in the Fourth South American Championships later that year. The team performed well in its first international tournament, finishing fourth of seven teams.

In Chile, cricket was first played in the country in 1829 in the coastal city of Valparaíso between the officers and men of two Royal Navy vessels and the first club, the Valparaiso Cricket Club was formed in 1860.Cricket Chile informs that " The game’s heyday in Chile was in the 1920s when Pelham ‘Plum’ Warner captained a touring side against a Valparaíso XI- regular matches were played between Valparaíso Cricket Club, the Prince of Wales Country Club as well as the Concepción Country Club, whilst the game was also played by St. Peter’s and The Grange School as fiercely as any school in England. The standard of cricket in this era is highlighted by the success of one former St. Peter’s student, Frederick ‘Freddie’ Brown, who went on to successfully captain both Surrey and England in the 1950’s".

The World War II affected the development of cricket in South America. In recent years, the ICC has played a pivotal role to promote cricket in this region. Now, for example in Chile there are now over 2,000 children involved in all levels of junior cricket with a competitive national team at U13, U15 and U19 levels.

The ICC Americas Championship is a one- day cricket tournament organized by the Americas Cricket Association for non- Test national cricket teams in the Americas. As well as providing opportunity for national teams to play international matches against teams of a similar standard, it also provides qualification into the ICC World Cricket League.

There are currently four divisions taking place biannually with promotion and relegation taking place between divisions. In 2010 Division One, for the first time, a Twenty20 tournament took place following the traditional 50 overs competition.

Although cricket remains a hugely minority sport within the sporting and primarily football culture of the countries, soon competitive records at international level will be achieved and will earn respect for all these national teams from the rest of the cricket world. The fantastic performance of Muttiah Muralitharan will be kept in the hearts of cricket lovers all over the world as a role model for all.

Bravo Murali!!

New anti-doping rules for cricket

New anti-doping rules for cricket


	The 'whereabouts' rule was first introduced by The World Anti-Doping Agency in athletics

The governing body of international cricket has set the date when new anti-doping rules for the sport come into effect.

The International Cricket Council says that, from August the first, players must give three months' notice of where they'll be, to allow for random drug tests.

This 'whereabouts' rule as it is known, was first introduced by The World Anti-Doping Agency in athletics.

The ICC became a signatory in 2006 but players from India had initially rejected it, saying they were concerned about their security and privacy.

Players from all other major cricketing nations had already signed up.

Muttiah Muralitharan targets record 800-wicket haul - BBC Reports

2010-07-16T22:44:00.000+05:30

Muttiah Muralitharan targets record 800-wicket haul - BBC Reports

Sri Lanka spinner Muttiah Muraliatharan wants to take his world record haul of wickets to 800 before he retires from international Test cricket.

As revealed by the BBC Sinhala Service last week, Muraliatharan will quit Test cricket after the first Test of the home series against India this month.

And the 38-year-old, currently on 792 wickets, told BBC Sport: "I always thought I'd reach the 800 mark.

"I can still reach it as I have one last Test. It would be magical ending."

Muralitharan, regarded as the greatest bowler Sri Lanka has ever produced and one of the finest players to grace the game, would need eight wickets in Galle to reach 800.

His Test-wicket haul has come from 132 Test appearances, while he has also played 337 one-day internationals, taking 515 wickets.
However, he has decided to focus on playing one-day cricket until the 2011 World Cup and, thereafter, exclusively on Twenty20 cricket, explaining: "I have achieved most of the things I wanted to in cricket.

"There is nothing left to achieve so I can't be selfish and play on."

Still, the off-spinner admits he hopes his sensational Test-wicket haul is never surpassed.

"I think records are meant to be broken," he said. "Someone will come and break it one day.

"But I don't have to lie. Every person that achieves something special doesn't want that achievement to be broken. I am no different. That is the way it should be. I want it to always be there but I think it will be broken. That's the way records work.

"It will happen but I'm selfish and I want it to be my record forever."

For the full interview with Muttiah Muralitharan, listen to Sport on Five on BBC Five Live from 2100 BST.
