Right now, he’s half a world away from Grace Road. But, for Daniel Marsh, physical separation doesn’t necessarily equate to emotional separation from the Leicestershire Foxes’ bid to claim their first National League title in 24 seasons this Sunday.Back at home in Tasmania after a three-month stint as a county import, Marsh is enjoying life as he recovers from the cheekbone injury that shattered his English season.But, with nigh-on just 24 hours remaining before Leicestershire’s crowning match of the summer, he can’t help feeling a few pangs of frustration. That he is not still in England for the conclusion of an impressive one-day campaign that he helped to kick-start nearly five months ago is a cruel blow.”I’m still following their fortunes really closely,” says Marsh of the players he now knows as teammates after taking over from Anil Kumble as the team’s overseas professional this year.”I look on the Internet every day and see how they’re going. Obviously, I’ve got some really good mates there now so I stay in touch regularly.””I’d love still to be there and be a part of what they’re aiming at, especially because I was there for three months of day-to-day cricket. To be taken away from that was very hard. If the team wins on Sunday, it’ll be a good reward for everyone involved at the club. Hopefully, they can do it.”Leicestershire’s progress in the National League this season has proved a classical rollercoaster ride. Matters didn’t start propitiously: the side found itself at a scoreline of 5/14 in its very first match against Gloucestershire before it somehow climbed off the canvas to win. Alongside an equally impressive run which took the club all the way to the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy Final, five victories from the next six games then followed to leave the side on the brink of claiming only its second-ever League crown.But the tide has turned dramatically again in the last month with only two wins coming from the last five fixtures. It all ensures that the Foxes now need either to win at Nottingham on Sunday – or hope that Kent loses to Warwickshire – to be confirmed as champions.”It seems like the guys haven’t been playing their best cricket over the past two or three weeks and that’s obviously to do with the pressure of trying to win this competition,” adds Marsh. “But, if they can play anywhere near their ability, they should hopefully beat Nottinghamshire and win the title.”When it became clear back in December that coach Jack Birkenshaw’s quest for a new import had netted the club the son of former Australian wicketkeeping icon Rodney, the revelation was greeted with surprise in some quarters. By contrast, those who knew Marsh’s game well realised it was a heady selection. Although he still remains underestimated in Australia, the 28-year old was Tasmania’s Player of the Year in 1999-2000 and has offered the state consistently impressive contributions ever since crossing from South Australia in 1996-97.After a nervous start with scores of 0 and 5 in the team’s final warmup match, he was duly a tower of strength in the nine first-class and 11 limited-overs appearances that represented his first foray into county competition. He found a formula for success quickly, tailoring his powerful batting and accurate left arm spin bowling to suit pitches which almost universally played lower and slower than those to which he is accustomed at home. His performance against Nottinghamshire – in which he hammered out an unbeaten 67, claimed 4/44, and held two catches – might even be remembered as one of the most complete individual efforts produced by any county player this season.Moreover, he was very much at the heart of the county’s inspired start to the National League season. It was no mere coincidence that Leicestershire won all five of the games in which he participated. Only with the advent of his freak injury – while fielding at second slip in a Championship match against Surrey in early July – was the gloss removed from the tale.”We’d just taken the second new ball … Ian Salisbury was batting, went to let one go, but it just hit the face of his bat and landed about a metre in front of me. I went down to try and stop it but it just took off and came straight into the side of my face.””Ultimately, I realised something wasn’t quite right, went and had it checked out, and sure enough it was broken. The doctor basically said I wasn’t going to be able to play for eight weeks.”Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi nevertheless helped the team to more League wins upon his appointment as a hurriedly organised replacement, and what looked a near-impregnable lead was duly maintained until deep into the summer. General reversals in confidence and form have threatened to undo all the hard work but the club still remains in the box seat to emerge as the competition’s Division One winner.In short, it’s now a case of attempting to add the final touch to a memorable campaign. And one thing’s for sure if the result does go the Foxes’ way on Sunday: the excitement will spread far beyond those at Grace Road. Half a world away, in fact.

Andrew Symonds led Queensland to another victory over Western Australia today in the ING Cup one-day match at the Gabba.After his unbeaten 75 helped the Bulls win yesterday’s four-day Pura Cup match, Symonds scored 91 from 57 balls as Queensland cruised to a seven-wicket win.In reply to Western Australia’s disappointing total of 7-189 from 50 overs, the Bulls were 3-191 after 29.5 overs, securing a bonus point for winning inside 40overs.Symonds and Jimmy Maher (71 from 81 balls) helped the Bulls recover from 2-10 after Matthew Hayden (zero) and Martin Love (two) fell in the opening threeovers.Hayden was run out with a direct hit from Simon Katich before Love edged Brad Williams to wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist.But Symonds took over, passing 50 for only the second time in a domestic one-day match for Queensland.He hit 13 fours and two sixes, following his match-winning knock of 75 not out from 43 balls yesterday.Symonds and Maher combined for a 129-run partnership in 106 balls before Symonds fell to a catch by Williams at third man from the bowling of Kade Harvey.Earlier, young off-spinner Nathan Hauritz (3-23 from eight overs) starred for the Bulls after he was only called into the team this morning to replace injured swing bowler Adam Dale (shoulder).

Damian Shirazi, whose 626 runs and 15 wickets helped BAT Sports win the championship, was named as the Southern Electric ECB Premier League Young Cricketer of the Year.

Damian Shirazi in action

Shirazi, 18, who is spending the winter playing for the University of New South Wales in the demanding Sydney Grade competition, hit six half-centuries and averaged 44.71 last season.”Damian is an ultra-competitive all-rounder who matured a lot as a player during the summer,” praised BAT vice-captain Richard Dibden.”He works very hard at his game and is very keen to learn, which is why he’s spending the winter in Sydney.”I think he has the fundamentals to do very well and, because he wants to listen and develop his game, he has the chance to go further.”Shirazi, who previously captained England at Schools and Under-17 level, has led various Hampshire YC teams, but seems to have missed out on a contract next season.”He’ll come back in March an improved and even more determined young player,” Dibden forecast.Shirazi saw off challenges from five other promising young cricketers to win the prestigious award, named in memory of Waterlooville’s John Millett, who died 20 years ago.He was pressed hard by Bournemouth teenager Chris Park, who notched 423 runs and snapped up 30 victims in his debut Premier League season at Chapel Gate.Park, 18, joins Northants on an Academy contract next summer.Ben Craft, with 760 runs and 14 catches for Lymington, Hampshire-bound left-armer James Tomlinson, with 21 wickets for South Wilts, Rowledge all-rounder Chris Yates (406 runs and 29 wickets) and promising New Milton all-rounder David Wheeler, with 582 runs and 22 wickets, were also in the frame. **** —- **** Your votes here on www.spcl.cricinfo.com did not match those of the committee. Cove’s Chris Benham, who has been awarded a summer contract with Hampshire topped the poll with 27%, with New Milton’s 16-year-old starlet David Wheeler taking 17%.Shirazi came a lowly fifth from the 11 names with 13%.HOW THEY POLLEDChris Benham (Cove) 27%, David Wheeler (New Milton) 17%, Neil Randall (Cove) 14%, Chris Yates (Rowledge) 14%, Damian Shirazi (B.A.T.Sports) 13%, James Tomlinson (South Wilts) 5%, James Hibberd (Calmore Sports) 3%, Chris Park (Bournemouth) 3%, Ben Craft (Lymington) 2%, Matthew Hooper (Andover) (2) 2%, Lee Beck (New Milton) (1) 1%.

The Sri Lankan cricket board (BCCSL) advertised on Sunday for a full-timecricket team manager and umpires manager in the national newspapers.Traditionally, the team manager’s post has been a part-time position withappointments made on a tour-by-tour basis by the executive committee withouta formal recruitment process.The decision to recruit a dedicated full-time manager is overdue recognitionof the need for greater off-field support for the players, both during andin-between tours.The current contract with Air Commodore Ajit Jayasekera expires after theZimbabwe Test series, but he may still apply for the post starting inFebruary.The appointment will be for a three-year period and the advert states thatthe candidates must have held a management position, have an aptitude forpublic speaking, be computer literate and aged below 55. Cricket experience,it adds, would be an advantage.The BCCSL are also looking to replace the current director of umpires, K.T.Francis, who has held the post for three years and is keen to continue, buthas been asked to retire.A younger man, under 55 years old, with first-class umpiring and corporatemanagement experience, computer literacy and workshop management skills, isbeing sought.But the post, which requires highly specialized skills, will be extremelyhard to fill if the BCCSL sticks rigidly to the credentials advertised.Interested candidates for both posts are requested to submit applications tothe cricket board headquarters by 31 December.

Hardly anybody would have wagered on England losing all three Tests in a series against India, but the 1992-93 side under Graham Gooch had to endure this humiliation. This at a time when the Indian team itself was not doing very well. The captain, Mohammed Azharuddin, was under terrific pressure, as the team had returned in January 1993 after losing yet another away series, this time to South Africa. But in a contest in which everything went right for the home team and nothing did for the visitors, India won the series with ridiculous ease, even managing to square the six-match one-day international contest after winning the last two games.

To an extent, the England team was not helped by off-field events. Communal violence in the wake of the destruction of the mosque at Ayodhya had not yet simmered down, and the visitors’ fears were heightened when the first one-day international at Ahmedabad was cancelled because the safety of the players could not be guaranteed.

On the face of it, there was nothing to indicate that the Test series would be so lopsided. For one thing, as already mentioned, the Indian team was going through a tough time, even if they had won four of the last five Tests played at home in the 1988-1990 period. Secondly, the England team had players of proven ability in Gooch, vice-captain Alec Stewart, Mike Gatting, John Emburey, Graeme Hick, Michael Atherton, Robin Smith, Philip DeFreitas, Devon Malcolm, Chis Lewis and Phil Tufnell. There was not even the remotest suggestion that such a formidable side would go down so tamely.To an extent, the England team was not helped by off-field events. Communal violence in the wake of the destruction of the mosque at Ayodhya had not yet simmered down, and the visitors’ fears were heightened when the first one-day international at Ahmedabad was cancelled because the safety of the players could not be guaranteed. For the second first-class fixture of the tour, against the Board President’s XI, the venue, Lucknow, was only 80 miles from Ayodhya. The players were advised not to leave their hotel without a police escort, and among the crowd of 20,000 each day were 5000 armed guards.Also, England were almost never at full strength in any of the Tests in the series. An indisposed Atherton had to miss the first Test at Calcutta, was inexplicably not chosen for the second Test at Madras, and played only the final game of the series at Bombay. Gooch himself was unwell throughout the first game, his 100th Test. He had to miss the second Test through an upset stomach, courtesy a plate of prawns consumed during dinner on the eve of the game. Many members of the team in fact had stomach problems at some stage or the other, and they also suffered from a flu virus.That said, it must be admitted that England played badly and were outplayed by a side that had suddenly discovered a winning formula. The batting was a major problem; in six innings the highest total was 347. None of the batsmen could play the new Indian spin trio – Rajesh Chauhan, Venkatapathy Raju and Anil Kumble – confidence. Hick got a mighty 178 in the final Test at Bombay, but in the five remaining innings, his tally was 137. The only other player to get a hundred was Lewis, whose 117 at Madras was a courageous knock. Gatting, with his vast experience and skill at negotiating the turning ball, could get no more than 219 runs at an average of 36.50. The failures of Stewart and Smith, as well as the dismal form of Gooch ­ 47 runs at 11.75 ­ meant that only the greatest of bowling attacks could cover for the deficiencies with the bat.But England had problems aplenty in this department too. That India ran up totals of 371, 560/6 declared and 591 illustrates this best. The bowlers captured only 28 wickets in all, and Hick with eight finished at the top of the list, another tell-tale sign of how bare the visitors’ bowling cupboard was.India, scarcely believing their good fortune, had a whale of a time. Two of the Tests were won by an innings and the other by eight wickets. The batsmen made a packet of runs and got them handsomely. Vinod Kambli, who made his debut in the first Test, did not take much time in proving that he was a prodigiously gifted young cricketer. Starting off with 16 and 18 not out on debut, the dashing left-hander improved to 59 in the next Test.Then, before an adoring home crowd, Kambli smashed 224 at Bombay, coming very close to overhauling Sunil Gavaskar’s 236 not out, then the highest score by an Indian in Tests. Bringing back memories of their school days, he and Sachin Tendulkar (78) added 194 runs for the third wicket. Kambli batted 10 hours, faced 411 balls, and hit 23 fours. Only 11 batsmen had scored more in notching up their maiden Test hundred. Kambli headed the Test figures with 317 runs at an average of 105.66, marginally ahead of Tendulkar’s 100.66.Tendulkar himself got his customary hundred, and his six-hour 165 at Madras, which included 24 fours and a six, was a commanding knock. Azharuddin’s reaction to being under pressure at the start of the series was to get a handsome 182 at his favourite venue, the Eden Gardens. Navjot Singh Sidhu was another century maker, making 106 at Madras.The Indian bowling centered around the spin trio, and Kumble (21 wickets), Raju (16) and Chauhan (9) did their job admirably. Kapil Dev had to play a secondary role, but he still headed the Test averages with seven wickets at 19.00 apiece. He also crossed an important personal landmark at Madras; playing in his 122nd Test, he became the first cricketer to score 5000 runs and take 400 wickets.

The overnight rain may have tried to play spoilsport to start with atthe Green Park Oval in Kanpur, but it did not completely succeed. Whenthe overs are cut short in a limited-overs game, all the planning doneon the eve of the match comes to little fruition, and what mattersmost is how well the teams adapt to the conditions on the day.The pitch at the Green Park Oval was one factor that remained thesame, helping the captains in some measure in their decision-making.The surface has not really changed since my playing days, and, onMonday, it played true to its nature, keeping low and makingstrokeplay a difficult proposition.

It is about time that the selectors gave some thought to playingfive specialist bowlers in the side. It makes no sense to me when Isee the part-time bowlers going for more than 60 runs. It putspressure on the specialist bowlers who generally do a good job ofcontainment and taking wickets.

But when England batted first, Marcus Trescothick and Nick Knightseemed to have few problems with the bounce, finding the gaps in thefield regularly and ensuring a brisk scoring rate. Knight inparticular played a good hand to keep things going for England. Onceagain, however, indiscreet shots played by the top order pushedEngland into an abyss.I felt that England could easily have scored around 245 runs in their39 overs, especially given the magnificent start that their openersprovided them. The Indian bowling was yet again found wanting underpressure, giving away runs at almost 5.34 per over. Keeping an eye onthe 2003 World Cup, the efforts in the field are also simply not goodenough. The Indian fielding may sport an improved look, but that is oflittle consequence when one looks at the runs given away.It is about time that the selectors gave some thought to playing fivespecialist bowlers in the side. It makes no sense to me when I see thepart-time bowlers going for more than 60 runs. It puts pressure on thespecialist bowlers who generally do a good job of containment andtaking wickets. Conceding runs in the middle overs also putstremendous pressure on those bowling in the death.Ajay Ratra, in my view, was disappointing behind the stumps, and thisis one of many areas that needs to be looked at closely by theselectors. We have tried and tested too many wicket-keepers in therecent past, and it is quite frustrating not to see a genuine stumpercome through. The next World Cup is barely one year away, and urgentaction needs to be taken to build a fighting unit that will be astrong contender to win the trophy.England, on their part, were taken aback by the events transpiring inthe Indian innings. There were a couple of decisions initially thatshould have gone in their favour. Getting Sachin Tendulkar out withthe very first delivery of an innings would have made a bigdifference. The brilliance of the strokeplay that ensued was there tobe seen, and I hope that these two will continue to open the inningsfor India in one-day internationals.Having said that, though, there is little excuse for the way theEnglish bowled at Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. Instead of puttingthose initial disappointments behind them, they let their shoulderdroop and bowled without any purpose. They simply gave up, and thisallowed Tendulkar and Sehwag to simply annihilate the bowling. Bydoing so, England have almost ceded their chances of squaring theseries, and they do not have anyone to blame but themselves forthrowing the advantage away by batting badly after winning the toss.

It had to be the shortest game of the tournament.Canada were all out for 41 when dismissed in the 29th over in their match with South Africa at North Harbour Stadium today.Left-arm fast bowler Ryan McLaren had a field day taking the first four wickets to fall at a cost of nine runs from his 10 overs. Rory Kleinveldt took two for 10 from seven overs while Ian Postman took two for four in his 1.4 overs.It took South Africa’s openers Stephen Cook (16) and Chad Baxter (20) only 8.2 overs to knock the total off to take a 10-wicket win.

Indian under-19 team consultant Dilip Vengsarkar had nothing but good words for the performance of his wards in the junior World Cup in New Zealand, despite India’s semi-final loss to South Africa.The defending champions, India, were beaten by a convincing 112 runs in Auckland, losing their last six wickets for just 31 runs during the chase of a target of 269.”It was one of those bad days when nothing went right for the team,” said Vengsarkar to reporters after the squad returned from New Zealand.”Though we lost in the semi-finals, our boys’ overall performance was good,” he continued. “Our strong point was our bowling, but our fielders did not give good support. We played on a very bad wicket against Bangladesh and lost during the league stage, but against Pakistan we fought hard before going down by two wickets.””I only wish our batters had done better than what they did,” Vengsarkar added. “However, we have unearthed some very fine youngsters who have a bright future, like opening batsman Maninder Bisla, Chandan Madan, Abhishek Sharma, Chandrashekar Atram and Irfan Pathan.”Vengsakar, himself a Test player of considerable note and the only non-English cricketer to score three centuries at Lord’s, is also the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) appointee to spot young talent. He also runs the Elf Cricket Academy in Mumbai, a private coaching clinic for young talent.
