Wellington and Canterbury traded probing jabs and shivering upper cuts on the second day of their State Championship match at the Basin Reserve today and both quit the ring, to return for another round tomorrow, bloodied but defiant.No quarter was given as this prize-match, crucial to both teams, lurched towards a knockout decision.Canterbury had gained an ascendancy at times today, led on all scorecards, but Wellington had then picked itself up to score points of its own and to dispute the outcome. Before the bell rang finally at 6.07pm last night, Canterbury had landed another flurry of telling blows and Wellington was buckling.Canterbury replied with 193 to Wellington’s first innings of 182 to post an 11-run first innings lead but their superiority at that pivotal point should have been much greater. They had been 151/3 as Gary Stead and Michael Papps joined in a partnership of 107 for the fourth wicket and they were poised to take complete control of the match.But Wellington fought back as they have so often this season and particularly in recent games through their strong and varied bowling attack. Stead was out for 52 at 151, Papps for 68 at 178 and Canterbury’s last seven wickets toppled in 25.3 overs for only 42 runs.The partnership of Stead and Papps had been potentially match-winning. They came together when Canterbury was 44/3, when the bowlers held the moral upper hand, and carried Canterbury, at first gingerly then with growing authority, to 151.Stead’s stay at the crease measured the duration of the partnership. He scored his 52 in 125 minutes, from 96 balls and with five fours. Papps batted almost four hours for his 68 runs and lifted on his ample shoulders a Canterbury innings which had begun to sag under Wellington’s accurate bombardment.The separation of the pair, when Stead was out for 52 in the 64th over, was crucial to Wellington and hugely damaging to Canterbury. Peter Fulton followed without scoring, then Papps was out to the last ball of the 80th over and Canterbury was 178/6. Gareth Hopkins fell to the first ball of the 81st over and Canterbury, then 178/7, was staggering.Matthew Walker battered the Canterbury middle order and started the slide, taking four for 15 from 20 overs including the wickets of Papps, lbw, and Stead, caught by wicket-keeper Glynn Howell. Andrew Penn chimed in with the second new ball and took four late wickets to finish with four for 24 from 18.3 overs.Wellington had rescued itself again and the match was almost perfectly balanced.But Canterbury rejoined before stumps and claimed three Wellington wickets in 24 overs before the eventual conclusion.They delivered a crucial and potentially staggering blow to Wellington when they removed its captain Matthew Bell for six, taking the wickets of both openers for 17 runs.Luke Woodcok was out when the total was five and Bell, superbly caught and bowled by Stephen Cunis, for six when Wellington was 17.The attrition of the day was not yet at an end and Canterbury delivered another finally judged punch when they had Selwyn Blackmore’s wicket for 21 when Wellington was 47. Wellington couldn’t easily afford the loss of a third wicket before stumps.Wellington was 49/3 when stumps were drawn and led by only 38 runs overall with seven wickets in hand.But they are not yet out of this match. They have shown the ability in their most recent games to take outright wins from improbable positions in low scoring matches. If they set Canterbury even a moderate total their bowlers might yet rise to the occasion.Canterbury, on a difficult wicket, can also win this match if they continue to rifle Wellington’s second innings as they have today. The pitch is a wearing one, slow and offering both seam and spin.Batting, particularly stroke-making is not easy. The judgment of pace and bounce is as difficult as the judgement of line. The match is likely to continue as brutal and unyielding as it has been today.

Pakistan skipper Waqar Younis looked happier in the knowledge that he has been asked by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to continue his reign as the leader of his country’s team in the forthcoming World Cup.”I am honoured and feel very proud that the PCB has confidence in me. To lead my country in the World Cup is certainly a big honour for me,” a delighted Waqar said on Sunday.”The event is big and the demand on us will be even bigger. I am looking forward to it and I am confident that if we play well to our full potential and do not have injuries then we could do well.”There have been few setbacks but overall I think we have done well as a team and I obviously expected that I shall retain the captaincy.”Waqar, who led Pakistan for the first time in 1993 in a Test against Zimababwe at Karachi in absence of an injured Wasim Akram, was given the reins after Moin Khan was sacked in April 2001.Meanwhile, rain forced Pakistan’s only Test warm-up, a three-dayer against South Africa to end in a draw on Monday. Resuming the day on 91 for two, Pakistan struggled to 174 for eight in their second innings with Robin Peterson, the slow left-arm spinner, extending his match haul to 10 wickets by picking up four for 61.Opener Taufiq Umar saved the day for the visitors with an unbeaten 89 in over five hours. The left-hander’s 193-ball innings was laced with 15 fours.ScoreboardPAKISTAN (1st Innings) 174 (R.J. Peterson 6-72).SOUTH AFRICA ‘A’ 206 (J.A.

Former Sri Lankan cricket board President Thilanga Sumathipala was clearedto stand for his third term in charge on Thursday as the ColomboDistrict Court dismissed a longstanding interim injunction.The injunction, obtained in 1999 after an application by long-time foeClifford Ratwatte following a controversial cricket board election marred byphysical intimidation and accusations of vote buying, had preventedSumithipala and seven other former board members from holding office.When Sumathipala successfully stood for the BCCSL presidency in 2000, havingbeing cleared to do so by the sports ministry appointed director of sports,Milton Amarasinghe, who was charged with the responsibility of overseeingthe election, his opponents rushed back into the Sri Lankan courts to file a’contempt of court’ case.Nevertheless, Sumathipala’s committee led the BCCSL until the board wassuddenly cancelled in March 2001 by sports minister Lakshman Kiriellafollowing unproven accusations of financial irregularities. 21 months on,the affairs of the cricket board are still managed by an interim committeeThe original injunction and the subsequent contempt of court case had been apotential stumbling block for Sumathipala’s team when the sports ministrycalls for elections expected shortly after the World Cup.Sumathipala, speaking at a hastily arranged press conference at his Colomboresidence, was delighted with the result: “We knew that we had neverviolated the constitution of the BCCSL. We have proved that there was nocontempt of court and that we were eligible to hold office in 2000.”He confirmed a desire to once again run for office: “Legally, they (hisopponents) cannot stop us from contesting. We shall decide, as a committee,on our next step once an election is called. It is up to the BCCSLmembership to decide whether they want me to stand.”The exact date of that election is still unclear as former Sri Lanka captainArjuna Ranatunga, an expected frontline opponent, fights his own legalbattle against a proposed government law preventing politicians from holdingoffice in official sports bodies.Once Ranatunga’s case is cleared from the court then the election cancommence and for the confident Sumathipala that will not be a moment toosoon.”This is a crucial juncture in Sri Lanka cricket,” he said. “Interimcommittees mean ad hoc decisions. There has been no direction and noleadership. This is not acceptable to the membership of the BCCSL – thefaster we have a democratically elected board the better for Sri Lankacricket.”He lay the blame for Sri Lanka’s dismal recent performance squarely at thefeet of the interim administrators: “Players are very sensitive – a smallproblem can become a very big extremely quickly. There has been nomanagement, no unity, no single voice.”Sumathipala, a successful businessman and the current chairman of telecomgiant Sri Lanka Telecom, can draw on strong support in the cricket clubs andis widely expected to sweep back into power once an election is called.

POTCHEFSTROOM, South Africa, Feb 2 AAP – Can bowl, can’t throw.Shane Warne has made a remarkably rapid recovery from his dislocated shoulder but he remains unable to safely throw the ball overarm more than about 15 metres.Australia’s great leg spinner, embroiled in the “Can’t Bowl, Can’t Throw” controversy involving Scott Muller in 1999, will have to be carried in the field during the early stages of the World Cup, remaining inside the 30-metre circle when he’s finished at first slip.Warne under-armed and cautiously side-armed his throws during Australia’s boisterous, enthusiastic fielding session today, occasionally lobbing Courtney Walsh-style returns into the gloves of wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist.The 33-year-old is able to bowl without discomfort from the shoulder he damaged on December 15 but attempting to launch powerful throws from the outfield is too risky. The shoulder might pop back out.”I think it’s just going to be sort of side-arm stuff from ten or 15 metres from Warney, that’s about the maximum we’re going to get out of him for a little while,” said Australian captain Ricky Ponting.”Hopefully he can get us a run out and a few catches in the circle.”When Australia’s World Cup squad was announced on December 31, coach John Buchanan revealed a plan to save at least 15 runs per innings through razor-sharp fielding. Fringe players like Andrew Symonds were selected because they were better fielders than their rivals.”If they’re an outstanding batsman or outstanding bowler, in other words they’ve got big numbers, possibly you can give some leniency to that argument,” Buchanan said at the time.”Generally we look at players who have batting and bowling skills but they need to have something else, particularly fielding.”Warne’s big numbers are of 291 wickets from 193 matches at an average of 25.82, strike rate of 36.4 and economy rate of 4.25.He was accused of muttering “can’t bowl, can’t throw” during a Test between Australia and Pakistan in Hobart in ’99 after a return from Muller sailed over Gilchrist’s head.Warne was at the bowler’s end and it was thought stump microphones had picked up a comment from him. But Warne denied it, Joe The Cameraman confessed and Warne was off the hook.

FANTASTIC!I withhold my right of reply to the reaction to the question I posed for a couple of weeks. It was fantastic to see Zim make the Super Sixes, and I think talk of anything else would detract from that.Assuming the reasonable happens, and Aus and India win their next three games, and Zim beat Kenya, then all (sic) we have to do is beat either SL or NZ for a crack, probably at India, in the semis. Form goes out of the window in knockouts, and Zim have a real chance to make history. How I wish we had Campbell (I’ll eat humble pie) and Evans there!Phil Garland (Australia)TRAVIS FRIENDI’ve been watching the World Cup, and cannot work out why Travis Friend hasn’t been playing for Zimbabwe – he really impressed me after breaking into the side at a young age.What has happened to him?Rod Ward (Australia)Reply: I haven’t been able to ask about this but my feeling is that his bowling is not accurate enough and better bowlers are fit (at present!)CONGRATULATIONSIt’s my pleasure to congratulate your lads on your job well done. Even though I live in the United Kingdom you make me proud to walk around London streets with our flag as a proud Zimbabwean. It’s a shame about our match with England because I was looking forward to that match. Anyway it’s part of politics which I am not part of, but my message to you is to keep the good work going, don’t let politics let you down and prove to the world that we are still the best country to live in.Mandie Mudavanhu (England)GOOD LUCKGood luck to the boys. Contrary to what most people think I still believe we will make it into the Super Sixes. We can beat both Kenya and Sri Lanka and if other results go as expected then we will make it.I am also just sick and tired of reading and watching English reporters report about how England were robbed of a place in the Super Sixes by not coming to Zim. In truth they didn’t come for political reasons, whilst the other five teams in the group had enough sense to leave politics out. Even though they forfeited, if they really were that good then they should have still qualified by beating all the other teams, but no they didn’t because they are just a mediocre team. Nothing special at all. We have stars like Heath Streak and Andy Flower, but who do England have? Nobody, everybody they had is past their prime.So to all those English fans and journalists moaning, just face the fact that we are in and you are OUT.Sibusiso Nkomani (Belgium)ENGLAND v ZIMBABWEWhen people talk about England not making the Super Six they say it’s because we didn’t play in Harare and therefore sacrificed four points.It may not be very patriotic of me to say so but I’m not convinced that England beating Zimbabwe was a foregone conclusion. England never seems to play consistently. Namibia gave them a scare but then they played well against Australia.It only needed Trescothick, Knight and Vaughan to be out cheaply, which did happen in some matches and then Andy and/or Grant Flower to have a good innings, backed up with reasonable scores from others, and Zimbabwe could easily have won.I agree you are not the force you were in ’99 but your appearance in the Super Six is not all down to fortuitous circumstances.And what a revelation Kenya have been!Beverly Treml (England)ZIMBABWE v KENYAI am gutted after Zimbabwe’s performance last night. They seemed disinterested and had not half the enthusiasm that Kenya had. I thought they had a real chance to get to the semis but that dream is no longer.I think the team needs an overhaul for future matches. I would like to think that Zimbabwe will improve in the future but I think the talent is a bit thin on the ground at the moment. The conditions they face daily in their homeland are obviously having an effect on the players and I can’t blame them. I would love to see my team getting back to playing with enthusiasm and having fun out there but, sadly, I think that is lacking at the minute.Michael Shepherd (Australia)HEATH STREAK – GENTLEMAN OF THE WORLD CUPMy wife and I are ardent supporters of cricket, and even more so of Kenya.We’d like to offer our condolences to the Zim team after yesterday’s game which saw Zimbabwe exit the World Cup. It’s always sad that someone has to come second in such games.However, we’d also like to say a warm thank you to Heath Streak for his comments at the awards ceremony after the game. He accepted defeat with grace and took the time to congratulate Kenya on their win. He came across as a good sportsman and a gentleman.This was in stark contrast to the mutterings of certain other captains either defeated or almost defeated recently by Kenya! In both cases the captains said that they’d played the worst cricket in their lives (in one case) and that they’d played brilliantly to recover from a precarious situation (in the other case). Not a word about the fact that Kenya played an excellent game in both cases.We will be supporting Zimbabwe in their upcoming match against Sri Lanka. Our thoughts are also with the Zimbabwe team and its members as they face such an uncertain future back home after the CWC.Rob Mousley (South Africa)

Hampshire v Glamorgan, Rose BowlGlamorgan have been shorn of half their seam attack for their second matchof the championship, and with Michael Kasprowicz ruled out, they have optedfor two spinners. Dean Cosker comes in to join Robert Croft, who bowled morethan 80 overs in the first game of the season. Hampshire are boosted by thereturn of Chris Tremlett, after the shin problems which kept him out of thedraw with Worcestershire.Northamptonshire v Gloucestershire, Wantage RoadDavid Paynter and Ricky Anderson have been added to the Northamptonshiresquad for their home match against Gloucestershire. Rob White and CarlGreenidge make way after last week’s innings-and-343-run defeat byYorkshire. Gloucestershire’s James Averis comes in for Jon Lewis, whosustained a groin injury in their narrow victory over Somerset, and MartynBall may return as a second spinner alongside Ian Fisher.Somerset v Durham, TauntonSomerset’s allrounder Ian Blackwell faces a fortnight on the sidelines aftersplitting the webbing on a hand, with Keith Dutch and Keith Parsons added tothe squad that slumped to an eight-run defeat against Gloucestershire lastweek. Durham are missing Paul Collingwood (shoulder), Mark Davies (lung) andtheir overseas player, Dewald Pretorius, who is on international duty.Kent v Leicestershire, CanterburyAfter a fraught winter of discontent, Leicestershire get their seasonunderway with a new-look team, led by Phil DeFreitas. Paul Nixon, a Kentplayer last season, will have much to prove on his return to his old club,while Jeremy Snape, David Masters and Rupesh Amin are set to feature afterjoining from Gloucestershire. David Fulton and Min Patel, who have recentlyundergone eye and back surgery respectively, are the most notable absenteesfrom the Kent squad.Lancashire v Nottinghamshire, Old TraffordLancashire welcome back Peter Martin after a family bereavement kept him outof the drawn match against Surrey. He is expected to return at the expenseof Kyle Hogg, while Andrew Flintoff will feature after receiving permissionto play by the England and Wales CricketBoard. Nottinghamshire are likely to keep faith with the side that beatWarwickshire by three wickets.Middlesex v Sussex, Lord’sMiddlesex coach John Emburey has named an unchanged squad for the visit ofSussex, with Tim Bloomfield again likely to be named 12th man. Ed Joyce’scentury staved off defeat against Essex last week, and Middlesex will hopeto build on that moral victory. Sussex have their entire first-choice squadto choose from, with James Kirtley back after turning out for the second XIlast week.Warwickshire v Essex, EdgbastonWarwickshire will be without their Australian left-arm seamer, MichaelClark, who sustained a groin injury in the defeat against Nottinghamshire.Essex’s Andrew McGarry has a side strain, and is replaced by Graham Napier,while John Stephenson is also included in the 12-man squad.

Persistant rain throughout the day, meant Hampshire and Durham had to sit out the 3rd day of the Frizzell County Championship match at the Rose Bowl.Umpires Graham Burgess and David Constant called an end to proceedings just after the tea interval.With just one day remaining, Hampshire chances of recording their first Championship win of the season have dropped considerably.

Yesterday’s Championship reviewFrizzell County Championship Division OneMiddlesex 370 and 74 for 0 v Surrey 568 at Lord’s
Scorecard
Mark Ramprakash made history today, becoming the first man to score centuries against all the 18 first-class counties. Fittingly, his 110 against his old club Middlesex came at the ground where it all began for him – Lord’s. It was a typically classy ton from Ramprakash, which only added salt to Middlesex’s wounds, who spent most of the day chasing leather as Surrey amassed yet another Championship total of over 500. Even Saqlain Mushtaq, the nightwatchman, filled his boots with 69 before the returning duo of Alec Stewart (87) and Alex Tudor (30) further frustrated Middlesex. Andy Strauss (42*) and Sven Koenig (29*) then played out till the end, but they will have to show some more of the same fight to prevent a third consecutive win for Surrey tomorrow.Essex 514 v Kent 381 and 278 for 5 at Chelmsford
Scorecard
Mark Ealham (85*) and Matthew Walker (65) kept Kent in the hunt atChelmsford with a healthy stand of 127 just when Kent needed it. NasserHussain had earlier crashed 206, one short of his career-best, against Australia in 1997, as Essex stamped their authority with an imposing514, and a lead of 133. James Middlebrook put Kent further on the backfoot when he removed both openers, both caught at slip by Andy Flower,while in between the unfortunate Ed Smith departed for a pair. However,Andrew Symonds put some spark back in the innings with 39 from 47 balls, before Ealham and Walker dug in to haul the game back into the balance.Leicestershire 243 for 5 for 1 v Nottinghamshire 326 and 318 for 6dec at Leicester
Scorecard
Nottinghamshire put in an efficient team performance to end the dayfirmly on top of their midlands rivals Leicestershire. Virender Sehwagadded 17 to his overnight score, and when he was caught, Leicestershirelost their way. Greg Smith (4 for 40) and Stuart MacGill (3 for 44) blew away the middle order as Leicestershire collapsed from 188 for 3 to 243 all out. Kevin Pietersen then crashed 95 from 89 while Guy Welton dropped anchor with 86 as Notts stretched their lead to over 400. David Masters was trapped lbw at the end of play, to leave Leicestershire deep in trouble.Sussex 545 beat Warwickshire 201 and 285 by an innings and 59 runsat Hove
Scorecard
At the end of last season, Chris Adams said that all his Sussex side now needed was a match-winning spinner, and boy have they got one. Mushtaq Ahmed is streets ahead at the top of the Championship wicket-takers, and another bagful of wickets in Sussex’s crushing win over Warwickshire has put him even further ahead. Mushtaq took 7 for 85 in Warwickshire’s meek follow-on, which crumbled from 135 for 1 to 285 all out. Mike Powell (80) and Nick Knight (64) put on 135, but once they were both one of Mushtaq’s magnificent seven, wickets continued to tumble regularly as Sussex cruised home.

Frizzell County Championship Division Two
Northamptonshire 203 and 243 beat Derbyshire 160 and 106 by 180 runsat Northampton
Scorecard
An early finish at Northampton as Graeme Swann glid through theDerbyshire second innings with a career-best 7 for 33. Northants won by180 runs, but their victory was tainted by the controversial state ofthe pitch, which Adrian Pierson, the Derbyshire coach, called a complete joke. The tracks at the County Ground are renown for being turners, but this one would have been more suited to the Wankede Stadium rather than Wantage Road. However, Northants escaped any punishment from the ECB. Chasing 287, Michael Di Venuto and Andrew Gait made a steady start with 57 for the first wicket. But once they both fell for 29 to Jason Brown, Derbyshire, like the pitch, began to fall apart. Swann ran riot as Derbyshire lost their last nine wickets for only 48 runs. Swann’s seven wickets came in a hurry in one spell of 15.1 overs, six of which were caught as Derbyshire crashed to 106 all out.
