George Bailey believes finding bowlers who can restrict runs at the death will be one of the keys for Australia as they prepare for the 2014 World Twenty20

Brydon Coverdale29-Jan-2013

George Bailey, Australia’s Twenty20 captain, believes finding bowlers who can restrict runs at the death will be one of the keys for his side over the next year as they prepare for the 2014 World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. The world tournament is just over a year away and with relatively few T20 matches coming up over the next 12 months, the Australians are already looking to build a squad as they aim to improve in last year’s semi-final appearance.One of the problems that was evident over the past two games against Sri Lanka was the leaking of runs in the final overs, despite the fact that the selectors had picked men who had specialised in death bowling during the Big Bash League. Ben Laughlin was especially expensive, leaking 20 runs in the final over at the MCG and 19 from his last five balls in the first match in Sydney as Sri Lanka chased down the target with seven deliveries to spare.Laughlin was not the only culprit, though. In Melbourne on Monday, the final five overs of Sri Lanka’s innings cost Australia 60 runs and that period was the difference between the two sides. It was a stark contrast to the first match in Sydney, where the Australians were batting first and managed only 36 runs from their final five overs as they struggled to find the boundary against Lasith Malinga and his colleagues.”That’s probably the gap between the best T20 team in the world and the seventh best,” Bailey said after the Melbourne loss. “Hopefully we’ll learn a lot about that. I think we’ve got some bowlers in our side who can be world-class at T20. There’s great foundations there. I thought James Faulkner was really good tonight. Mitchell Starc has been outstanding, Glenn Maxwell’s two back-to-back games have been really good with the ball. There’s some good stuff there.”There’s a huge opportunity there for a bowler to step up, and not just for T20. I think if a bowler can step up and nail their death stuff they’re almost walking into our one-day side as well. If I was a bowler it would have to be a huge source of excitement, something certainly to be working towards.”Bailey said it was disappointing that his Hobart Hurricanes team-mate Laughlin had not been able to translate his BBL form to the international stage over the past few days, but that he would be better for the experience. However, whether or not Laughlin retains his place for the one-off T20 against West Indies next month remains to be seen.”That’s what he’s in the side for,” Bailey said. “He’s in the side to do what Lasith Malinga does for them, to be able to nail his death stuff, to be hard to hit through the middle with his change-ups. He’s got a great amount of variation but Lasith will tell you the same thing, if you’re not putting the ball where you want then at this level you will be made to pay.”I still think Benny has the skills to do it, so it’s nice that he’s had a look at international level and knows exactly what he has to go away and work on or how he has to find a way to relax so he can execute as well as he did during the domestic summer.”The coach Mickey Arthur said the two matches against Sri Lanka, last year’s World T20 runners-up, had been an eye-opener for those players who had stepped up from BBL level. He said while Mitchell Starc had been a consistently good death bowler for the Australians over the past year they needed to find others who could also do the job.”It is a problem for us and it’s something we’re looking to solve pretty quick and we need to get some answers,” Arthur said. “We work fairly hard on it and we’ve just got to identify guys who can do it consistently for us, that’s the key. We thought we had picked some really good death bowlers and the domestic BBL shows that they were the best, if you looked at the stats. They still are.”I spoke to the guys the other night after the game in Sydney and the guys have actually seen what the level is. We had pretty much a BBL all-stars side playing. We took the best of the BBL and gave them an opportunity here. I think they’ve seen what the difference is between playing and being successful at a domestic level and then trying to do it at international level. We’ve been short in that department.”

The EPP suffered a batting collapse on the second day of their match against the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy as they fell from 153 for 1 to close on 235 for 7

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Dec-2012
ScorecardEngland’s Performance Programme squad won their tour match against Dr DY Patil Sport Academy, racing past a target of 228 in just 30.1 overs. Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes provided the power, hitting 13 sixes between them, after two declarations on day three set up the chance of a result.The EPP halted their first innings on their overnight score of 235 for 7, still trailing by 42 runs, before Stokes, Toby Roland-Jones and Stuart Meaker helped reduce the Academy to 47 for 4 and then 85 for 5. Prashant Naik and Pankaj Jaiswal put on 100 for the sixth wicket, the declaration coming when Naik fell to Varun Chopra’s occasional offspin for 70.After Chopra and James Taylor opened the first innings, Craig Kieswetter and Gary Ballance strode out second time around. They fell in pursuit of quick runs but Stokes and Buttler cracked on, adding 91 in eight overs.Taylor then joined Buttler in another 50 partnership and although Vishal Dabholkar returned to claim his second and third wickets, the EPP overhauled their target with almost four overs to spare. The win was their second on tour, after an innings victory against the same opponents last week.

30-Aug-2012Worcestershire 323 and 44 for 3 (Roland-Jones 2-18) lead Middlesex 306 (Dexter 90, Robson 72, Richardson 4-62) by 61 runs
ScorecardNeil Dexter continued his recent good form but fell ten runs short of a century•Getty ImagesHalf-centuries by Neil Dexter and Sam Robson helped lift Middlesex to 306 in reply to Worcestershire’s 323 in the weather-hit Championship Division One match. Dexter led the way with 90 and figured in a century stand for the fourth wicket with Robson, who made 72.Relegation-battling Worcestershire were again being well served by paceman Alan Richardson, who took 4 for 62, and by the close the hosts led by 61, having lost first-innings century-maker Daryl Mitchell, Phil Hughes and Moeen Ali.Dexter, who scored 101 against Warwickshire at Edgbaston last week, and Robson produced key performances for Middlesex after Richardson had wasted little time in unsettling his former club when they resumed on 49 without loss off 13 overs.He launched a burst of three wickets in successive overs, costing just four runs, by having left hander Chris Rogers caught by young wicketkeeper Ben Cox for 22, leaving him 15 short of completing 1,000 Championship runs for the season.Joe Denly soon followed, bowled off stump, before Richardson picked up his 50th Championship scalp of the campaign by removing Dawid Malan. Richardson’s impressive treble left Middlesex on 61 for 3 and in need of a steadying influence which Robson provided after resuming on 27 not out.Accompanied by Dexter, he completed his half century off 108 balls with nine fours and by lunch they had steered Middlesex to 140 for 3 off 44 overs. Both batsmen continued to prosper after the break and completed a well earned century stand in 32 overs.Robson, dropped the previous evening on 21, finally fell after hitting 11 fours off 157 balls in his highest Championship score so far this season. He put on 106 in 34 overs with Dexter, whose 50 came off 106 deliveries with eight fours. Robson, whose father Jim played for Worcestershire’s second XI in 1979, perished when he dollied up a catch to Matt Pardoe at forward short leg off spinner Moeen.Adam Rossington was trapped lbw by paceman Gareth Andrew before Dexter and Gareth Berg pushed Middlesex past the 200 mark in the 63rd over. By tea, taken one ball early because of a brief shower, they had completed a half-century stand with Middlesex on 241 for 5.The first ball after the interval, however, ended the 60-run partnership when a loose drive outside the off stump by Berg led to him being caught at first slip by Moeen off Chris Russell. Dexter finally departed to an inside edge on to his middle stump against Joe Leach after hitting 12 fours off 190 balls.Worcestershire continued to pep their fortunes when Richardson ousted Toby Roland-Jones before Russell saw off Steven Crook and Tim Murtagh after the last two Middlesex wickets had yielded 41.

Derbyshire have appointed Simon Storey as their new chief executive. He replaces Keith Loring, who remains with the club in a consultancy role but has stepped down from day-to-day duties.Storey, 42, has a marketing background with 20 year’s commercial experience. He comes from a management role with a pharmaceutical company in Switzerland.”It is an exciting time to join the club,” Storey said. “I am relishing the opportunity to help lead Derbyshire towards future success. I do not underestimate the challenge ahead but I have confidence in the long-term direction of the club and I am committed to bringing all my leadership abilities, commercial experience and sporting passion to help the club achieve our goals on and off the field in the coming years.”Storey will inherit a county in reasonable financial shape, Derbyshire having made a profit in five of the last six years. But the main challenge is to bring back success on the field. Derbyshire have not finished above fifth in Division Two of the County Championship since their only season in the first division – in 2000 – where they finished bottom.Last season had long-standing chairman Don Amott leave the county after a boardroom dispute and coach John Morris left two months into the new season.But Derbyshire have begun 2012 strongly, with victories over Northamptonshire and Glamorgan and a draw against Leicestershire.

As India seek a reversal of fortune in the final Test of the summer at the Adelaide Oval, Michael Clarke’s Australia have prepared for a reversal of method in their pursuit of a 4-0 series sweep over the visitors.Reverse swing has been seldom glimpsed all summer on a succession of well-grassed pitches that allowed Australia’s fast men to gain conventional movement through the air and off the track for most of each match. However in Adelaide, beyond the rewards to be gained in the first hour or so of play, Clarke expects a return to the subtle art of swinging the old ball, in the absence of any other assistance on what appears a typically hard, dry surface.While India will appreciate the chance to revert to some of the skills that have served the visitors faithfully on home turf for many years, Australia are also happy to be reminded of the need for such measures – their next Test matches are in the West Indies, on pitches likely to be slower and lower than anything seen at home in this series.”I think reverse swing will play a huge part in this Test, it always does,” Clarke said. “The ground is in great nick, so the outfield will keep the ball newer than I have seen it in the past but I think as the day goes on, especially in this heat, you will see a lot of reverse swing.”And that is why I say it’s probably as close to Indian conditions as you’re going to get in Australia. So as a batting unit, we have been working on that in the nets, we have faced a bit of reverse swing and a fair bit of spin, so I think our preparation has been spot on.”In recalling Nathan Lyon at the expense of the young left-armer Mitchell Starc, Clarke kept the experienced pace trio of Peter Siddle, Ben Hilfenhaus and Ryan Harris in harness, judging all had recovered sufficiently from their Perth exertions for the possible rigours of a match that invariably sees a fifth day.All had questions of sorts to answer in the lead-up: Harris has struggled wit the physical demands of consecutive Tests, Siddle showed signs of exhaustion in Perth, and Hilfenhaus has seldom proven to be at his best in Adelaide, where the new ball movement of his stock delivery can be more fleeting than elsewhere. However Clarke pointed out that Hilfenhaus had an even more modest record in Melbourne before he scooped seven wickets for the match in a 122-run victory.”I’ll bet you it’s better than his record at the MCG, where he had a horrible record, and we picked him there and he got five-for [in the first innings],” Clarke said. “I’m really confident Hilfy’s at the top of his game, bowling really well and can adjust to whatever conditions he faces. He’s a very good bowler with the new ball but he’s also very good at bowling straight if the wicket is slow and low, and he’s got great control with reverse swing as well. He’ll play a big part in this Test.”Generally the Test match on the Adelaide Oval does go five days. So we have to have the discipline to hang in there until you get the opportunity to grab hold of some momentum. The boys are flying high on confidence but it’s going to be a tough challenge. I’m certain India will be very keen to finish the series on a high. It’s a great test for us as a team in what are going to be tough conditions to take 20 wickets.”Well as Australia have played at home this summer, it is a fact that the majority of conditions Clarke and his team will face overseas in years to come will be closer in character to Adelaide than elsewhere. Gautam Gambhir’s talk about the preparation of “rank turners” were striking, but nothing new. To that end, the bowling coach Craig McDermott and his pace battery will, alongside Nathan Lyon, find out more about their prospects for future tours in this match than the preceding three.”The pitches have been the same in Australia for the last two years, I think they were exactly the same against England, they were pretty similar in South Africa as well,” Clarke said. “That is part of being an international sportsman, you travel the world and play in completely different conditions.”I have played a number of times in India when the ball has spun so that will be no different next time we go there I’m sure. In my opinion, it’s very hard to doctor the wicket when you’re playing against very good opposition. It’s about preparing a pitch and then both teams playing on it so that will be no different when we go to India and I think it has been the same in Australia for a while now, the last couple of years I have seen a little bit more grass on the pitches.”

In the end just one run separated the two sides with Marcus North run out off the last ball to give Sydney Sixers the narrowest of victories over Perth Scorchers

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Mitchell Starc picked up 3 for 28 in Sixers’ thrilling win•Getty ImagesNeither side deserved to lose, but neither side really knew how to win. In the end just one run separated the two sides with Marcus North run out off the last ball to give Sydney Sixers the narrowest of victories over Perth Scorchers.There were so many plots, sub-plots, so much drama and chaos but it all came down to the last over. The Scorchers needed 13 runs. Brett Lee needed to keep them to a maximum 11. Lee used all of his 11 and then some to give his side victory.Nathan Coulter-Nile took a single off the first ball, before North went within inches of clearing the long-off rope with the next. The ball bounced just short and over for four. Had it travelled another foot the result of the match may have been different. North drove to long-on and wanted a second run off the third. Steve Smith pounced and fired a return, and had Coulter-Nile not sent his captain back in time, he would have been run out.The best was yet to come. Coulter-Nile swung and missed at Lee’s fourth ball. The equation became seven from two. The penultimate delivery produced exultation, exasperation, relief, and ultimately frustration in a chaotic 15 seconds. Lee bowled Coulter-Nile via the inside edge to send the home fans into raptures. Excitement became despair when they saw umpire Simon Fry signal a no-ball. Coulter-Nile’s relief was evident, having stepped off into the gallows only for the rope to snap. Then the frustration swept across the ground when replays showed Lee’s heal had landed behind the line only to slide over as he delivered. A legal delivery, incorrectly judged, had cost his team a wicket, a run, and a free-hit.Lee lost his nerve. His next was a wide. The equation had gone from seven off two, to five off two in the most extraordinary circumstances. Coulter-Nile swiped the next through midwicket with him and North scampering through for two. Coulter-Nile, having earlier claimed three wickets with the ball, needed three runs to win from the last having struggled to 10 from his previous 12 balls. He miscued Lee towards long-on, they ran one, North came back for two, but with 19.5 overs of running under his belt, his legs wilted. Smith’s throw was pure and Lee removed the bails to hand Sydney an incredible win.The irony was the result had no bearing on the standings for either team. North’s composed 59 had ensured Perth finished top of the table and gained a home semi-final. Had they failed to reach 151 they would not have had that luxury, and Sydney would have hosted a semi-final. Man-of-the-Match Mitchell Starc earlier made that result a possibility. The Scorchers had cruised to 0-32 from four overs, in pursuit of 177, before Starc turned the game on its head. Starc took three wickets in an over to put his name up for re-selection in Adelaide. He did his Test team-mate Shaun Marsh no favours. The left-hander missed a low full toss and was bowled for a run-a-ball 18. Starc bowled Mitchell Marsh with the next, swinging one back through the right-hander’s defence. Starc had sought council from one of world’s greatest left-arm quicks, Wasim Akram, during the week. Akram would have been proud of the third wicket. It was not a hat-trick but it was three in five balls, with Paul Collingwood trapped on the back leg by a searing, Akram-esque, in swinging yorker.North was ably supported by Simon Katich to resurrect the innings and stave off disaster. Katich had the unusual experience of being booed to the crease as a Scorchers player, on the same ground he only recently was cheered as New South Wales captain. He had company, with Perth team-mate Josh Lalor playing his first domestic limited-overs fixture since he represented NSW against Western Australia at the same ground in November.North and Katich combined for 36 before North was given a life. Brad Haddin dropped a diving chance to his left, having earlier been dismissed for a duck. The Scorchers handed back the momentum when Katich was needlessly run out. Luke Ronchi then played a gem of an innings. His 34 from 13 brought the Scorchers within striking distance only for North and Coulter-Nile to fall agonisingly short.The Sixers’ batting effort followed a similar pattern to the Scorchers chase. Haddin and Michael Lumb both fell early before Nic Maddinson and Moises Henriques steadied. Brad Hogg removed both men in another brilliant spell of left-arm wrist-spin. His spinning partner Michael Beer was again equally miserly with 1-28 from four, whilst Coulter-Nile and Ben Edmondson took five wickets between them.But both quicks were expensive, mainly at the hands of Steve Smith who clubbed 51 from 25 balls in an exceptional display of ball striking. He was very unlucky to be dismissed, with a ball ricocheting from bat, to pad, to stumps with the type of trickery a snooker player would be proud of. The Sixers made a hash of the final two overs of their innings, losing 5 for 8 to be bowled out with the last ball of the innings. But in the end they made enough runs to get the win. Just enough.

Scorecard
Naeem Islam’s unbeaten 101 wasn’t enough to chase down Bangladesh’s massive total•BCB

Half-centuries from their top four batsman powered the Bangladesh national side to a massive 311 which proved too much for the A team despite a century from Naeem Islam in a rain-shortened match in Mirpur.After being sent in, Bangladesh’s openers made contrasting fifties, with Tamim Iqbal scoring at nearly a run-a-ball while Shahriar Nafees contributed a more patient effort. Both were dismissed in the space of two overs by the offspin of Mahmudullah but the national side didn’t squander the base provided by the openers. Mohammad Ashraful and captain Mushfiqur Rahim both made quick half-centuries as they put on 130 in 18.2 overs. The partnership ensured that despite a glut of wickets towards the end of the innings, Bangladesh posted a total in excess of 300.Rain then curtailed the chase to a 39-over affair, with the target revised to 271. The A team’s reply was hampered by a couple of early strikes by medium-pacer Rubel Hossain. Opener Junaid Siddique (45) and Naeem then steadied the innings with a 66-run stand but their slow scoring pushed the required-rate beyond nine by the 20th over. Naeem continued to fight, and remained unbeaten on 101, but there was little support for him from those who followed and the national side won comfortably.

England and Sussex allrounder Luke Wright will play for the Melbourne Stars in this year’s Big Bash League

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Jul-2011England and Sussex allrounder Luke Wright will play for the Melbourne Stars in this year’s Big Bash League.Wright is the first overseas player to be added to the Stars squad and joins David Hussey, Cameron White and Adam Voges in the Melbourne ranks, while Victorian bowling trio James Pattinson, John Hastings and Clint McKay have also been signed.Wright, 26, part of England’s successful World Twenty20 team in the Caribbean last year and was also a member of their squad for the World Cup in the subcontinent. He also has plenty of Twenty20 experience with Sussex, having scored 1,139 runs – including one century – and taken 41 wickets for them.”Wright is an impressive young man who can open the batting or bowling,” said Melbourne coach Greg Shipperd. “He provides options for the team as he can play any role through the middle to finishing overs. We are extremely pleased to have him as one of our foundation players.”

Stumps
Scorecard
It took Surrey six games to record their first Championship victory last season. When Northamptonshire slid to 163 for 7 on the second day at The Oval, Surrey looked on the way to winning at the first attempt this time round but Andrew Hall and James Middlebrook fought back with an unbroken 120-run stand to leave the game intriguingly poised.After the first day rattled along, proceedings were more meandering on another heady afternoon of London sunshine. The patience on show from both sides was in stark contrast to the flamboyance of Surrey’s batsmen but Tim Linley’s four wickets and Northamptonshire’s eighth-wicket pair demonstrated all the merits that dour discipline can still have.Linley found the perfect rhythm early on with his unflashy wicket-to-wicket medium-pace, barely venturing from back-of-a-length on off stump, to ensure Surrey might yet come away with a first-innings lead.It was his morning spell that set the tone. Nine splice-jarring overs for 11 runs and the key scalp of Steven Peters, pinned on the crease lbw for 19. Though Yasir Arafat was below his best Stuart Meaker provided useful support and – but for overstepping – would have had Rob White, who eventually top-scored with 78, out for a duck. A ball that nipped back on a lowish-surface struck White plush in front only for the no-ball to be signalled. Having grimly resisted all morning, Mal Loye suddenly ran down on at Gareth Batty on the stroke of lunch, only for a quicker ball to slide past him onto middle stump.After lunch, White made use of his no-ball reprieve by picking off the few loose offerings and when he swung an Arafat half-tracker over deep square to bring up his half-century Northamptonshire were looking comfortable. Linley then returned, this time from the Vauxhall End, with another nip-backer which, thanks to Alex Wakely’s generous leave, uprooted off stump.That sparked a mini-collapse as Northamptonshire lost three further wickets for six runs in 15 balls. First Meaker found David Sales’ edge, to make it four ducks in five Championship innings against Surrey, then Niall O’Brien squeezed a full, wide Linley delivery low to Steve Davies to fall for a duck. O’Brien felt he had jammed into the ground though and was disgusted with the decision.Chaminda Vaas fell soon after, missing an ill-advised and ambitious sweep to give Batty a second wicket and leave Northants wobbling at 163 for 7.It needed captain Hall to shore his side up. Together with Middlebrook he scrapped in the lengthening shadows and made use of a tiring attack. Hall and his Surrey counterpart, Rory Hamilton-Brown, could hardly appear more contrasting but his rugged, sensible 55 not out was every bit as crucial to Northamptonshire’s innings as Hamilton-Brown’s polished 74 was to Surrey’s.Middlebrook, ending the day unbeaten on 49, was equally accomplished and the pair batted through the entire evening session to surpass Rob Bailey and Paul Taylor’s Northamptonshire record for the highest eighth-wicket stand against Surrey. With the pitch dusting anything around 300 will be difficult to chase on the final day which leaves the game resting on Surrey’s inconsistent batsmen on day three.
