Pakistan, having got into a winning frame of mind were unstoppable. In a clinical batting display, followed by some inspired bowling, the Pakistanis won the Coca Cola Cup 2000 in Sharjah on Friday by 16 runs. Pakistan led off with a score of 263 for six in 50 overs. They then bowled out South Africa for 247 in 49 overs. The tried and tested opening pair of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis began brilliantly for the Pakistanis. Akram used all the variations in his armoury and troubled the batsmen no end. Herschelle Gibbs has enjoyed some good form in the recent times and his confidence was up. Stroking the ball firmly, Gibbs brought up the first boundary of the innings driving Waqar on the up through the off side. Akram finally got his man when Gibbs played loosely at a delivery that left him. The ball flew off the edge to the slips where Inzamam's safe hands clasped the ball quickly. Jacques Kallis, the man whose contribution was crucial in South Africa's path to the final, was beaten all ends up by Mohammed Akram. In his very first over, he got the ball to bounce a little more than the batsman expected. Kallis was late on the shot, the ball slid off the face to Moin Khan who snapped the catch up. The South Africans had no choice but to consolidate after they had lost two early wickets. The going was predictably slow. Captain Hansie Cronje and newcomer Neil McKenzie did not attempt to do anything fancy. In the face of some disciplined Pakistani bowling they nudged the ball into the gaps and picked up ones and twos. Cronje's captain's knock came to an end when he attempted one big shot too many against Pakistani off spinner. Arshad Khan gave the ball good loop, tempting the South African captain to go for his shots. After hitting one clean six over mid wicket, Cronje attempted to repeat the stroke with bad results. The ball stopped on Cronje and he went through with the stroke anyway. The ball headed straight towards the fielder mid wicket. Younis Khan took his time and completed the catch comfortably. Cronje's innings of 79 in 73 balls ended just when things were going well for the South Africans. McKenzie who had struggled on for seemingly endless amounts of time, misread an arm ball from Arshad Khan and presented Mohammed Akram with a catch at short cover. His 58 runs took all of 107 balls. Waqar Younis returned at the end of the innings to destroy all South Africa's hopes. While Mark Boucher fought spectacularly at one end, the wickets tumbled around him and South Africa's hopes diminished with every passing over. With successive deliveries, Waqar had Nicky Boje caught behind and Lance Klusener bowled. South Africa hoped for a lot from Klusener. In the past there have been many occasions when the aggressive all rounder has been called upon to hit South Africa out of a hole. On this occasion Klusener was dealt with swiftly by Waqar. Coming around the wicket to the left hander, he let slip a quick delivery that came in with the arm and pegged the off stump back. After that it was simply too much of an uphill task for the South Africans. Mark Boucher played a gem of an innings, picking up crucial boundaries. Improvising well, Boucher used the width of the crease superbly, making room for himself and smashing the ball through the on side with regularity. However, Waqar got sweet revenge for all the times he was hit away by Boucher when he bowled the South African stumper with the last ball of his spell. The match was all over at that stage. Abdur Razzaq bowled a well directed yorker to clean up Nantie Hayward and Pakistan had emerged triumphant. http://www-usa.cricket.org/link_to_database/NEW/LIVE/PAK_RSA_CCC_ODI-FINAL_31MAR2000.html ====================================================================== TAMIL NADU REGAIN CONTROL WITH LATE WICKETS By Partab Ramchand Just as Punjab were putting up a gallant fightback in their second innings, Tamil Nadu grabbed two wickets late in the day to place themselves in a commanding position at stumps on the third day of their Ranji Trophy quarter-final at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai on Saturday. In arrears by 203 runs on the first innings, Punjab's openers Vikram Rathour and Reetinder Singh Sodhi put on 126 runs off 40.5 overs. Just when it looked like the two would come in unbeaten at stumps, Sodhi was caught behind by Reuben Paul off Mahesh for 89. Sodhi, the more aggressive of the two, faced 146 balls and hit ten fours. Wicketkeeper H Jagnu, sent in as a night watchman, was run out in the following over for zero. By that time however the light was bad and play was called off with 11.4 overs still to be bowled. Punjab, at 127 for two, still have a lot of work ahead. Early morning showers meant that play started 75 minutes late. Then further rain saw to it that 12 minutes play was lost shortly before lunch. Tamil Nadu, 346 for five overnight, were all out about an hour after the break. Sridharan Sriram was finally out for 165, caught by Mongia off Harbhajan Singh. He batted 509 minutes, faced 278 balls and hit 12 fours. The off spinner then dismissed Sadagopan Mahesh first ball. But the Tamil Nadu tail wagged. First Rajath Bhatia (24) and Reuben Paul (32) added 27 runs for the ninth wicket. This was followed by a last wicket partnership of 47 runs off 13 overs between Paul and J Gokulakrishnan (21 not out). Harbhajan Singh who bowled very well was rewarded with five wickets for 106 runs. Rathour and RS Sodhi brought Punjab back into the game with their century first wicket partnership. But the fall of two quick wickets late in the day saw Tamil Nadu regain the whiphand. Rathour by close however was unbeaten with a defiant 37 off 101 balls with four hits to the ropes. Play was extended by more than a hour and a half to make up the loss due to the rain. But bad light ultimately halted play at 6.10 pm.

UP, 206 for three overnight in reply to Hyderabad's first innings total of 291, were all out for 362. Hyderabad in their second innings had just about wiped off the first innings deficit by scoring 72 for one by close of play. The in form NP Singh struck an early vital blow when he bowled Md Kaif. The India batsman was out without adding to his overnight score of 66. The other overnight batsman skipper Gyanendra Pandey went on to make 47 before he was bowled by Kanwaljit Singh. Pandey faced 98 balls and hit seven fours. The innings was kept going by a seventh wicket partnership of 46 runs off 22 overs between wicketkeeper Pradip Yadav (20) and Ashish Winston Zaidi (52). But the persistent Kanwaljit Singh then took three wickets late in the innings to keep the UP lead down to manageable proportions. Zaidi faced 96 balls and hit six fours before he was also one of Kanwaljit's victims. He finished with six for 97 off 48.2 overs. When Hyderabad batted a second time, they lost Manohar (14) at 29. But A Nandakishore (35) and VVS Laxman (20) by watchful batting added 43 runs off 18.3 overs and were unbeaten at stumps with the match tantalisingly poised.

This quote by Marcus Tullius Cicero is apt for Sridharan Sriram who completed 1000 runs this Ranji Trophy season on Friday. In the process of compiling 165 against Punjab in the quarterfinal at Chennai, he has also hit five centuries in a season to complete a rare double. From a bowler-batsman to an opening batsman, Sriram has grown in stature. During the course of his innings, the elegant left hander, who combines talent and temparament joined the two others who have also scored 1000 runs and hit five hundreds in a season - Rusi Modi in 1944-45 and Ajay Sharma in 1996-97. Sriram achieved this in his 7th match and 9th innings. His tally at the end of his innings, which came to an end on Saturday morning, remains at 1050 at an average of 116. Sriram missed the first three Ranji Trophy games as he was away with the India 'A' team in the West Indies early in the season. Since his return to the state side, he has had an amazing run of scores which could not escape the eyes of the Indian selectors, who picked him to play the last two one-dayers against South Africa. He also made the trip for the just concluded tri-nation Coca Cola tournament in Sharjah, but did not get a game. The 24-year-old Sriram, who started his career as a left arm spinner has turned into a fine batsman who judiciously mixes caution with aggression. When he first represented the Indian under-19 side, he was successful with the ball, claiming 29 wickets on the tour to South Africa in 1992-93 and ending up as the highest wicket taker. He was the captain of the Indian u-19 team against Australia in 1994-95. It has been quite an amazing transformation for Sriram. From a bowler who could bat a bit, he has now opened the innings for Tamil Nadu and India 'A' this season with success and played at No 4 for India against South Africa in the only one-day international he has played so far. One only hopes that he comes good and fills the vacant all-rounder's slot in the Indian side for he does seem a worthy candidate. Sriram's scores this season are: South Zone League : 121 against Hyderabad and 147 against Goa. Super League: 98 against Saurashtra, 23 and 31 against Orissa, 177 against Haryana, 288 & 0 retired against Uttar Pradesh. Knock-out: Quarter finals: 165 against Punjab. The others who have scored five hundreds in a season are: Rusi Modi (Bombay) in 1944-45, Brijesh Patel (Karnataka) in 1978-79, Amarjeet Kaypee (Haryana) in 1990-91, Woorkheri Raman (Tamil Nadu) in 1991-92, Sachin Tendulkar (Bombay) in 1994-95, MV Sridhar (Hyderabad) in 1995-96, Ajay Sharma (Delhi) in 1996-97, Hrishikesh Kanitkar (Maharashtra) in 1996-97. Players who have completed 1000 runs in a season in the Ranji Trophy: Vijay Bharadwaj (Karnataka) 1280 in 1998-99, Jacob Martin (Baroda) 1037 in 1998-99, Raman Lamba (Delhi) 1034 in 1996-97, Ajay Sharma of Delhi 1033 in 1996-97, WV Raman of Tamil Nadu 1018 in 1988-89, Rusi Modi of Bombay 1008 in 1944-45. ''These little things are great to a little man." Oliver Goldsmith's quote, which is what this distinction is all about, clearly illustrates Sriram's tale. It's truly a proud achievement by this 'little in size' cricketer from Tamil Nadu.

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, the president of the organising unit Tamil Nadu Women's Cricket Association said the tournament features the cream of the Indian cricketing talent. ''The tournament is a challenge to the organisation capacity of the TNWCA especially as the competition will be played on turf wickets. Moreover, this year's tournament assumes added significance as the Indian team for the World Cup, to be held in New Zealand later this year, will be selected based on the performances during the week long event.'' About 30 probables will be chosen at the end of the tournament. The CricInfo Rani Jhansi tournament 2000 will have seven participating teams - South Zone, East Zone, North Zone, Central Zone, West Zone, Indian Railways and Air India. The tournament is played on a round robin format with each team playing 50 overs a side. There will be three matches every day and the games would be held at the CPT-IP, ICF, AC Tech, IIT, Southern Railway and Sree Ramachandra Medical grounds. On the last two days, matches will be played at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chepauk. This is the first time that the Rani Jhansi tournament has a corporate sponsor and Murari Venkatraman, CEO, CricInfo India, while speaking on the occasion, said ''women's cricket has come a long way and the Indian team ranks amongst the top four international teams. In spite of having players of international calibre, our team has come close but never won the World Cup yet. With support, encouragement and proper preparation, I am sure that the Indian women's team stands a very good chance of bringing home the World Cup.'' Incidentally, CricInfo had announced on February 15 this year that it would be sponsoring the Women's World Cup 2000. Sudha Shah, former Indian captain and coach of the Indian women's team for the 1997 World Cup said, ''it is a welcome move to conduct the Rani Jhansi tournament seven months in advance. This will provide enough time for the selected team to prepare for the CricInfo Women's World Cup to be played in New Zealand from Nov 28 to Dec 23. Indian Railways and Air India are favourites to win the tournament. Along with other teams, the two teams had played in the senior Women's championship held at Jorhat from March 20 to 27. Railways were the winners on that occasion when the teams battled it out for the CricInfo Trophy. ====================================================================== Purnima Rau: I dream of the innings De Silva played By S Jagadish In this second part of her interview to CricInfo, Purnima Rau talks about India in international cricket, how to improve the standard of women's cricket in this country, her idols and future plans. SJ: In the 1997 World Cup, what exactly happened? We lost out at the fag end of the competition? Can you explain why it happened. It would obviously be difficult to pinpoint something. PR: Even now, I get up at night and have cold sweat on the forehead. We should have won the World Cup in 1997. It wasn't just one reason. There were lots of reasons. I am probably the most controversial cricketer you speak to because I'm the only one who opens her mouth on this. We needed a more professional attitude. We knew our opposition. Today I am in a position to tell you what Australia and New Zealand do, not in 1993 or 1995. We always knew that Australia would take quick singles but we never worked on that. Cricket has changed now. You have to put in a little more than what is necessary. Assess everybody's strengths and experiences and work on your strengths and weaknesses. Our medium pace bowling was not very good. We used to get hammered in the first 10 overs. We needed more fitness. Things like these were crucial. We needed to have focussed more from the game point of view. I feel sorry for the whole thing because women's cricket is the kind of game where the girls just play for themselves, never for money or fame. Yes, a few of them get jobs at Railways or Air India but otherwise there is no serious grounding and they are pretty much on their own feet. There is a lot of sacrifice in women's cricket. Suddenly knowing that you could have done it and not doing it is a criminal thing. I would rather not play cricket if I wasn't giving 100%. So I think we've gone 20 steps behind after the good work we put in between 1994 and 1995 with the World Cup loss to Australia. We lost to a good side, no doubt. But we could have definitely won. SJ: Last year in the series in England, the Test series was a real thriller. It ended up with England needing two wickets for a win and India needing 20 odd runs for a win. Yet it was a draw. Can you just take us through the moments of that Test match? PR: Actually more than a one-dayer, my adrenalin flows in a Test match. It wasn't just this Test but in 1995 when they were here, we lost to them by two runs at Jamshedpur. In the third Test at Hyderabad, we needed the last wicket and they batted on for two hours after tea. Those two Test matches had taken so much out of us. Then to go back to England and find ourselves going through the mood swings of the game was a little too much. In the first innings they scored around 329 and we scored around 200. Then I bowled one of my best spells for five wickets and they were 56/6. The game changed again and it was India's game from there. Finally in the last stages of the game, we were on the backfoot again. I think that is the best part about cricket. Even that match we should have won. Chandrakanta and Anju Jain got 117 for the first wicket. That was something the last eight wickets should have carried on from. We should have won that Test. All the three Tests I've talked about, we should have made it. I think a little bit more of planning should go in to see that we work on the last half hour of the game, if we ever get to play a game like that in the near future. SJ: Then there were the one-dayers against England which India won 2-1 which is a pretty creditable thing given that England is a good side. Take us through the one-dayers. PR: I think India was on top in the one-dayers. We beat them hollow. Our batting really flowered. Anjum Chopra got a fifty at Old Trafford and a hundred at Northampton. The Northampton game was, for me as a senior cricketer, one of the best games I've ever played. We scored around 260 and England chased those runs. I didn't feel bad after losing because I felt that women's cricket is now here to stay. Now men are scoring 300 runs and chasing them. The one-dayers were very good for India. We won at Old Trafford and Trent Bridge. Northampton was a game I always dream of. I always don't believe in me being on the winning side but I always dream of women's cricket now. Teams chasing 260 is very good for the game. I think that was one of the best things. It was a pretty satisfying trip. SJ: Now onto non-cricketing matters. I understand you have also represented India at the Asian level in the softball championships. Softball is similar to cricket but what made you take it up. PR: I think this was in 1991 when there was no cricket for me. I had played baseball in school. I wanted to improve my midwicket shots, swing across the line and get my throwing right. I represented Andhra Pradesh. I play golf sometimes to help me with my lofted shots over the screen. I play a few games which help me with my cricket. It just happened. I was called for the Indian camp. I was in fact asked to lead India. It was destiny. I am a double international captain. For me 1991 was when I got to meet people from countries like China, Japan etc. It was an international exposure for me. I think that was the reason I did well in the 1993 World Cup. I was not awed by the international occasion. Probably if I had not played in the Asians, I would not have done as I did in 1993. SJ: This may sound like a pretty cliched question but what do you think can be done to improve the standard of women's cricket in terms of sponsorship, specifically in India. PR: Primarily, we have to win this World Cup 2000. The men got all their dues only after winning in 1983. We have to do something. The second thing is to create more jobs for the girls. It shouldn't be just Railways and Air India but banks and other public sector companies should come forward. I think if we start having pace academies like MRF for the girls we could improve on this area too. We should really market the game. Over the next one week or so, if you are a purist and you love the game you would sit through the day. But if you are a layman who just loves sixes, power, speed and strength you would not find it here. But I'm sure that if you really love the game technically, you'll find that it has enough potential to grasp your attention. If we really market it well, have publicity drives, I think sponsorship will easily come in. The media is there of course. Ever since we won in 1995 it has been with us. I can never pinpoint and say that the media haven't been with us. Recently we played at Jorhat and it has been all over the Internet. With CricInfo coming in now, I think things have changed. Its just that we need the catalyst now. I would only ask for it if we win the World Cup. I wouldn't ask for anything more now. Let things be the way they are. SJ: Over this long career, who have your idols been when it comes to Indian cricket or World Cricket for that matter. PR: As a kid I always liked Sunil Gavaskar. He had all the qualities I never had and still don't, his patience and concentration. I like Sachin a lot, the way he improvises with the full face of the bat and his attitude towards the game. Aravinda De Silva is one more person. If you are a real cricketer and a true batsman, you have to be able to get runs consistently which I find in De Silva and Ranatunga. They've taught me good lessons over the years. I also admire Wasim Akram for the killer instinct he provides. Among women cricketers, Shanta has been a guru. I haven't played much under her but she was my manageress during the Australian series. I learnt a lot from the way she handled the press. She taught me a lot of things. Women cricketers of yesteryear, the ones who've been playing since 1976, Diana, Shubangi and Sandhya Agarwal have sacrificed a lot. The foundation they have laid has made it very easy for us. Each one of them has placed a brick in the building. I admire each one of them. The minute I see any ex-cricketer, my eyes swell up with pride. I have learnt a lot from each one of them. It has been a long career but I would say I've lived 100% on the ground. I have no regrets. I've never felt bad scoring zeroes or dropping catches. It is part of the game. But I have always bounced back. I don't have regrets today about anything. SJ: What next for Purnima Rau? Continue playing cricket and then what else? PR: I think I will make this World Cup my swansong. They call me a dreamer and they say dreaming is not enough but I dream of the innings De Silva played: 107 runs, 3 wickets, 2 catches and a Cup for his country. I just pray to God that if I have put in the hard work for the game I've loved so much, I'm sure that the game is going to justify it for me. That is the faith I have in my game. Winning the World Cup is my top priority right now. I've been very lucky to have someone like my late coach Sampath Kumar. If I can give back to the game in any capacity, like an academy for pace bowlers, spinners etc. I will do it. I dream of a time when a girl, 10 or 15 years from now gets a 5 or 10 million dollar contract. I dream of the day. That day, I think my efforts would have paid off. I would die a peaceful death. SJ: Thank you Purnima, it has been a wonderful time talking to you. Wish you and Air India the best of luck for the Rani Jhansi Tournament and the Indian Team the best of luck for the Women's World Cup in New Zealand. PR: Thank you. ====================================================================== NEWS ROUND-UP Compiled by Natarajan Sriram * BCCI gives final clearance for National Academy The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given the final clearence for the setting up of the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
