Tendulkar is the professor of batting: Kirsten

2010-12-20T20:01:00.003+05:00

India coach Gary Kirsten on Sunday paid rich tribute to Sachin Tendulkar for scoring a historic 50th Test ton, describing him as professor of batting.

Terming Tendulkar's feat of scoring a half century of centuries as incredible, Kirsten credited his unmatched success to his sound technique, ability to play almost all the shots in the book and diligent preparedness.

"It is an incredible feat. It must be a special one and he deserves it. He has the techniques to play almost all the shots in the book. He is the professor of batting," Kirsten said, praising Tendulkar on becoming the first cricketer to score 50 Test tons.

"The key to his success is his approach to the game, his humility to learn and try to do better all the time. He diligently prepares for every match. For him, a Test match begins two days earlier, preparing for it. I am privileged to have associated with him for the last three years," Kirsten said.

"His success at the top level under the huge expectations in India is remarkable. It is quite different in India than other countries and the adulation he got there is amazing. At any time, Tendulkar will be surrounded by 300 people," he said.

Kirsten said despite the senior-most player in the team, Tendulkar was the one who spends most time at the nets and faces maximum number of balls.

"He wants to face the maximum number of balls at the nets. You will not see him play a loose shot at the nets. He is focused all the time, he wants to do better all the time," said Kirsten.

"He has been phenomenal this year. I think he is playing better than ever. He is enjoying his cricket at present," he said.

The former South African opening batsman said despite his personal achievements, Tendulkar was a perfect team-man who wants to do his best for the team's cause.

"He is a perfect team-man and he always gives his best every time he goes out to a cricket field. He has been a huge motivational factor in the side in the past three years I have been associated with the team," Kirsten said. About India staring defeat in the Test, Kirsten admitted South Africa are in a strong position.

"We have a lot to work tomorrow. South Africa are in a strong position. But let us see what happens tomorrow. May be there is help from rain also," he said.

Houllier: I have owner's backing

Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier has held "positive" talks with club owner Randy Lerner recently.

Houllier met with Lerner plus his group of backroom staff after the 3-0 defeat at Liverpool on Monday. That setback left Villa only two points above the Barclays Premier League relegation zone. Houllier even cancelled a scouting mission involving a Champions League clash in his native France in a bid to find a solution to Villa's disappointing sequence of results. He said: "We were supposed to go to France after the Liverpool game because I wanted to see a Champions League game on Tuesday night. "But I cancelled that and stayed with the team and stayed with the staff. "We had a lot of meetings because we are concerned with what is going on. "In one of those meetings there was an encounter with the chairman. It was extremely positive. "He knows we are going through a bad run. You've got to stick together and push up - as simple as that." Houllier has brushed off criticism from Lerner's

right-hand man, General Charles Krulak, over his behaviour at Anfield. He angered Villa fans by not acknowledging them after waving to Liverpool supporters. Houllier said: "I am not going to blame General Krulak, he has got the right to have an opinion and express it even if sometimes it doesn't help me. "I've got enough on my plate to bother about that." Houllier is taking no disciplinary action against defender James Collins over having a meal in Birmingham on Saturday evening less than 48 hours before the Liverpool game. He said: "I had a word with James about that. It was a Saturday night and we were playing on Monday. "He was in a restaurant with his wife, that is what he told me. His wife was there as well. "Apparently there was no drink, no problems. He said he was having a meal w

ith his wife. We believed him. No disciplinary action has been taken."

Stoke 0-1 Blackpool

The Blackpool bandwagon rolls on with DJ Campbell scoring a second-half winner against Stoke for a 1-0 win.

It means Ian Holloway's side have now collected six wins and 22 points from 16 games - a remarkable tally given they were widely tipped for relegation. Prior to kick-off a montage of the late Sir Stanley Matthews, who served both clubs and England with distinction, was well received by home and away supporters. Matthews would have been proud of the way Blackpool not only kept the ball but showed resilience when needed.

Stoke huffed and puffed but were left deflated as their five-match unbeaten run came to an end. Blackpool showed what they were about in the 15th minute when David Vaughan clipped a volley narrowly over the top after a cross from Stephen Crainey. Holloway's side were beginning to settle into the game and Campbell found himself in a good position, however, he found the wrong side of the post with his effort. Stoke almost took the lead in the 36th minute following a piece of inspiration from Ricardo Fuller. The Jamaican got on the end of pass from Matthew Etherington 25 yards out and sent in a superb shot that beat Richard Kingson but came back off the bar. Back came Blackpool and Charlie Adam delivered a delightful ball into the path of Elliot Grandin six yards out. But the midfielder seemed slow to react and goalkeeper Asmir Begovic got there ahead of him and made the clearance. Stoke were anxious to make the breakthrough before half time and twice came close to taking the lead. Jermaine Pennant, showing no ill-effects after his injury, delivered a cross into the path of Rory Delap but he headed into the arms of the goalkeeper. Then Delap found the net but his celebration was cut short with the effort was disallowed for Huth's challenge on Kingson. Stoke made a determined start to the second half and Dean Whitehead found space on the edge of the area but hoisted his shot over the bar. Two minutes later Blackpool launched a swift counter-attack and Campbell opened the scoring.

Adam and Luke Varney linked up, resulting in a deft finish by Campbell at the back post. It was the striker's third league goal of the campaign following his arrival from Leicester in August. Blackpool were growing in confidence at a ground where some of the top sides in league have found it a struggle in the past. Adam and Vaughan were pulling the strings in midfield and that meant Fuller and Jones were being deprived of good service. Fuller did break into the area in the 63rd minute only to scuff his shot wide of the post. Blackpool then came within a whisker of adding a second goal in the 66th minute. Gary Taylor-Fletcher came up on the blind side to get on the end of an inswinging free-kick from Adam only for his header to come back off the bar. Stoke came close to equalising in the 73rd minute when Etherington struck a free-kick firm and true only for it to rattle the woodwork. Two minutes later Kingson reacted instinctively to push up a goal-bound header from Huth and Crainey cleared off the line as the home side kept up the pressure. Etherington then cut in quickly from the right but his effort failed to test Kingson before Delap came close, hitting the post with his shot. But Blackpool saw the game out for another welcome three points.

Ferguson: Arsenal are stronger

2010-12-11T18:42:00.002+05:00

[source ESPNStar.com]

Sir Alex Ferguson has labelled Arsenal a more aggressive side than they were last year.

The Manchester United manager is preparing for another showdown with Arsene Wenger's men at Old Trafford on Monday night knowing a place at the top of the Barclays Premier League is the prize for the winner.

It promises to be a fascinating duel, not least because neither side has been on top form over a consistent period this term despite securing the top two places.

Arsenal have lost three times on home soil while United have been held to seven draws in an unbeaten 15-match start to the campaign.

Yet Monday should suit both sides as Ferguson's team have reserved their best performances for Old Trafford, while Arsenal head north on the back of five away wins on the trot, a record which, according to the United boss, has been achieved by mixing some steel to the finesse Wenger's teams are so renowned for.

The United manager still sees the same passing style. It is just that Wenger is trying to incorporate a more robust approach, as they used to do when Tony Adams was in his pomp.

"I think they'll still try to play the attractive football Arsene believes in, but there's definitely been a slight change" Ferguson told www.manutd.com.

"The general shape of the team has been far more mature and aggressive this year.

"They're top of the league - that's a sure indication that they are better than they were last year and they'll have a chance.

"They were very difficult to beat in the days of Emmanuel Petit and Patrick Vieira and the three at the back - Keown, Adams and Bould.

"That brought them great success and I think that this team is showing that kind of maturity now."

Ferguson does not believe the fixture with Arsenal has lost any of its gloss since the emergence of Chelsea as a title-winning force.

"The games, particularly four or five years ago, were so important because both of us were challenging for league titles," he said.

"Chelsea have now come in and it's been ourselves and Chelsea over the last five years.

"Nonetheless, it's Manchester United against Arsenal and the history of both teams always guarantees a match of intensity and a lot of the time, controversy.

"I think Monday night's game will be more or less the same because the pride and history of both clubs determine that."

Walcott makes plea for Arsenal starts

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has begged Arsene Wenger to give him more starts instead of making him a super-sub. The winger made another classy performance off the bench after putting Arsenal ahead with a great striker during their 3-1 win over Partizan Belgrade in the UEFA Champions League.

However, Walcott fears that he is turning into an impact

super-sub in the squad. "As a substitute you want to make an impact,' said Walcott in quotes by the Daily Mail.

"But I want to play now, I want to be starting games being 21. I wanted to show the boss what I could do and he probably has a headache now, for Monday's game against Manchester United. So fingers crossed.'

Pietersen selected for one-dayers

England predictably recalled Kevin Pietersen to their final one-day international and Twenty20 squads before next year's World Cup.

He was duly named among a 17-man party to take on Australia in two Twenty20s and seven ODIs next month.

Premier League Weekend Preview

Theo Walcott has urged his Arsenal team-mates to inflict a first Barclays Premier League defeat of the season on Manchester United.

The title rivals, who enter the weekend placed first and second in the table, cross swords at Old Trafford on Monday night. It is a mouthwatering showdown between two sides who have looked vulnerable this season despite occupying lofty positions in the table. United remain in the hunt despite the widespread belief they have performed only adequately but Walcott is concerned what might happen if they hit top form.

"United have not lost in the league yet, so hopefully we can be the first to do that," said the England winger.

"They are not playing the best, but these are the games where they will step up.

"Yet if they are not playing well and still are second in the league, then we don't want to catch them on a good day.

"But we have just got to go there and play with no fear, express ourselves and then the best performance will come out.

"We need to get something there and the way we are playing away from home, we can beat anyone."

United winger Nani views Arsenal as a bigger title threat than Chelsea and claims Monday represents the acid test of his side's trophy ambitions.

"Chelsea have lost a few games and drawn some and their confidence looks a bit low," said Nani.

"But Arsenal have been winning and being top of the league gives you great confidence."

Freefalling Chelsea travel to Tottenham on Sunday with Didier Drogba bracing the Premier League for the backlash from the Blues' dramatic slump. Two victories from the last eight matches in all competitions has plunged Stamford Bridge into crisis with the club facing Spurs, United and Arsenal in their next three games

"It's not getting any easier because we have Tottenham next," said Drogba.

"Maybe everyone will expect us to lose on Sunday, but it could be different.

"I see Tottenham as genuine title rivals now. They are having a good season and there is no reason why they can't challenge.

"Chelsea used to beat them regularly but things change, that's life, but it is up to us to make it happen again.

"Obviously these three games are not coming at the right time for us, but maybe these matches will change the situation we're in now if we win them.

"It's a difficult moment for us, but this is the kind of thing that can happen to many teams and it's rare for Chelsea to have a period like this."

Alan Pardew oversees his first match as Newcastle manager at home to Liverpool.

"The brief for me is to consolidate and stay in the division," said Pardew.

"We're in a great position for a team that's just been promoted, but we've got to kick on."

Aston Villa are hoping to halt their slide when they host midlands rivals West Brom while Everton and Wigan, both looking for form, meet at Goodison Park. Fulham desperately need a win against Sunderland to ease their relegation fears while mid-table Stoke and Blackpool clash. Manchester City will be hoping to capitalise on any slip up by their titles rivals when they travel to West Ham. Completing the fixtures, Bolton host Blackburn and Birmingham travel to Wolves.

Two London giants are set to clash in the Barclays Premier League this Sunday. Tottenham vs Chelsea. Can't get any bigger!

Three seasons ago, this fixture would never have been considered to be a clash of the titans but in the last two seasons, Tottenham have inched their way back to the top steps of the European ladder while Chelsea continue to dominate domestically yet struggle on the European front.

Sunday's London Derby will showcase some of Europe's best midfielders and potentially one of the future stars in Welsh wing wizard, Gareth Bale.

Chelsea need a victory to instill some much needed confidence back into the team as they stutter towards the Christmas period while the strong legion of home fans at White Hart Lane will be urging the boys in white to continue their barnstorming charge towards the top of the table.

Football.co.uk's Joe Strange looks back over the weekend's Premier League action to pick his team of the week.

Goalkeeper - Ben Foster, Birmingham City
After a mistake-filled stint at Manchester United, Foster continues to defy his critics at new club Birmingham. The England man put in another superb performance at home to Chelsea on Saturday, denying the likes of Didier Drogba and Alex to help his side to a much-needed 1-0 win.

Right-back - Glen Johnson, Liverpool
Despite rumours of a fall-out with manager Roy Hodgson, Johnson was back in Liverpool's starting XI after returning to full fitness. He didn't disappoint, scoring the winning goal in his side's 3-0 win and putting in a confident defensive performance against his former club West Ham.

Central defence - William Gallas, Tottenham Hotspur
After being snubbed by former team-mate Samir Nasri during the pre-match handshake and seeing his side go 2-0 down, it would've been easy for Gallas' head to have gone down. But the Spurs skipper helped rally his team-mates as they came back to record a magnificent 3-2 away win over Arsenal.

Central defence - Kolo Toure, Manchester City
City have been strong defensively so far this season and it was no different at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon. Kolo Toure expertly dealt with Fulham's limited threat, providing his side with a solid base from which to build on. His partnership with Vincent Kompany will be vital to Roberto Mancini this season.

Left-back - Patrice Evra, Manchester United
With Wayne Rooney only just returning from injury and Dimitar Berbatov out of form, united have had to rely on others to get their goals over the last month. Evra popped up with the winner against Wigan on Saturday, an unstoppable diving header past Ali Al Habsi.

Right-midfield - Morten Gamst Pedersen, Blackburn Rovers
Pedersen has found his goalscoring touch in recent weeks and he was on the score-sheet again with two goals against Aston Villa on Sunday. The Norwegian winger swung in a trademark free-kick which deceived Brad Friedel to open the scoring and secure all three points, then cleverly stuck out a leg to divert Ryan Nelson's wayward shot into the net.

Central-midfield - Yaya Toure, Manchester City
Normally regarded as a defensive midfielder, Toure has taken on a more attacking role in recent weeks. This was on full display against Fulham as the former Barcelona man continually burst forward, scoring his side's first goal in a convincing 4-1 win.

Central-midfield - Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal
Fabregas was at his best during the first-half of Arsenal's 3-2 defeat to bitter rivals Tottenham. The Gunners captain set up Samir Nasri's opening goal and was at the centre of everything good that Arsene Wenger's men did.

Left-midfield - Gareth Bale, Tottenham Hotspur
After a quiet first-half which saw his side 2-0 down at the break, Bale burst into life during the second period. His delightful finish got Tottenham back into the game and then he grew in confidence as the game went on. A driving run led to the free-kick for Younnes Kaboul's winning goal.

Striker - Carlos Tevez, Manchester City
City talisman Tevez was back to his best yesterday, helping his side to a 4-1 romp away at Fulham. The Argentine led from the front, scoring twice and setting up Yaya Toure's first-half strike.

Striker - Johan Elmander, Bolton Wanderers
After a fantastic goalscoring record away from home this season, Elmander finally found the net at the Reebok as Bolton thrahsed Newcastle United 5-1. The Swede scored two goals and provided a constant threat to the opposition defence.

Tevez eyeing crucial first trophy

Carlos Tevez is convinced one trophy will lead to many more for Manchester City. The Europa League would appear to represent the club's best bet for a first piece of silverware since the 1976 League Cup, having secured a place in the last 32 with a match to spare. But City also have the FA Cup to aim for, as well as the Premier League give n they are only three points adrift of new leaders Arsenal.

Drogba looks forward

Didier Drogba will make an emotional return to the Stade Velodrome on Wednesday night determined to fire Chelsea out of their current mid-season slump. Chelsea face Marseille in their final Group F game knowing they have already finished top. Marseille have also secured second place and although there is little to play for, Drogba maintains it is important that he and the team begin to improve. "I think it is important for me and the team to play better than what we are doing now," said Drogba. "I have been sick for a few weeks. It is difficult to come back to full fitness very quickly." He added: "But I am really happy with the way I have recovered. I am trying to help the team. I know that I can do better and I have to do better. It is not really about the goals, it is the way I am playing. "We've created a lot of hances but we score from set-pieces and penalties and this is something that will have to change. We just need one game to change this" Drogba, now 32, spent just a year at Marseille, scoring 18 Ligue One goals plus another 11 in Europe in 2003-04 after arriving from EA Guingamp. His goal record made him a cult hero among the Marseille fans and the Chelsea ace has often spoken of finishing his career back at Stade Velodrome. The Ivory Coast striker admits that a return to Marseille is a tempting prospect but insists he can also see himself ending his career at Stamford Bridge. "All I can say is that I have been at Chelsea for six years now and I am happy there," said Drogba. "My family is also happy there. Of course Marseille is tempting. But there are so many parameters that come into play. I can see myself ending my career at Chelsea."
