Smith injures knee ahead of semi-final clash
2007-04-22 15:28:00 Graeme Smith : down but not out South Africa received an injury scare ahead of their big semi-final against Australia, with their captain Graeme Smith suffering a minor knee injury ahead of the St Lucia clash on Wednesday. Smith hurt his knee while fielding in the match against England that enabled South Africa to qualify for the semi-final. According to a team spokesman, Smith did not play a full part in Saturday's training session. "He has a niggle and thus didn't train as intensively," the team spokesperson told Reuters, adding that Smith was advised by team physio Shane Jabbar to manage the problem through rest. The South African captain has scored 441 runs in the tournament so far at a strike rate of over a hundred. His five fifties include a 91 off only 65 deliveries against Scotland. Smith has also struck the second highest number of fours in this World Cup to date, second only to Australia's Matthew Hayden. South Africa, ousted by Australia in t...

Bob Woolmer investigation round-up
2007-04-22 02:14:00 April 20"New and significant developments" in the investigation delay the inquest that was due to start on Monday. A statement from the Jamaican justice ministry says the hearing will be postponed following advice from the coroner. "The coroner wishes that these new and significant developments be pursued with the utmost urgency." April 19Ireland's players end their World Cup adventure by giving statements, fingerprints and DNA samples to Jamaican police. "These tests were carried out with a view to eliminating the Ireland squad from their enquiries," a team spokesman says. On the night Woolmer was murdered none of the Ireland squad was in the Pegasus Hotel in Jamaica. The players were celebrating St Patrick's Day and the victory over Pakistan in Ocho Rios, which is "some 50 miles away".

'CCTV footage reveals likely suspect' - Report
2007-04-22 02:12:00 Enhanced footage from the hotel surveillance camera may have given the investigation a vital breakthrough The investigations into the murder of Bob Woolmer, the late Pakistan coach, are reported to have reached a significant breakthrough with a likely suspect being identified through footage from the hotel security camera. According to a report in the UK-based The Independent, detectives from Scotland Yard and a team of 30 officers studied the digitally-enhanced footage and the suspect was understood to be a male, though police were unable to confirm his identity. "The cleaned-up images from London show at least one individual of considerable interest to the inquiry," a source close to the investigation told the paper. "The time of the footage and its location mean that this individual must be considered a suspect. Further work is being done on statements given by individuals to look at any inconsistencies. It is good progress." Woolmer was found dead in his hotel... More About: Report , Repo , Like , Foot , Suspect
Woolmer case suspect identified
2007-04-21 19:10:00 The Jamaica Police claim that there has been a breakthrough in the murder of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer . At least one suspect in Woolmer murder case has been identified from security camera footage in his hotel, amid growing evidence that he was poisoned. After nearly a month of little progress, investigators in Jamaica announced on Friday that there were "significant developments" in the hunt for Woolmer's killer or killers. The opening of an inquest into Woolmer's death, due to take place on Monday, was postponed after a series of breakthroughs by the team of 30 officers working on the inquiry, including detectives from Scotland Yard. Reports published in a British daily The Independent claim that digital enhancement by the Scotland Yard of CCTV footage from cameras on the 12th floor of the Pegasus Hotel in Kingston, where Woolmer was staying, has identified at least one suspect in the killing. Police, however, have declined to comment on the identit... More About: Case , Suspect
Khurasiya set to retire from cricket
2007-04-21 19:09:00 Amay Khurasiya, a flamboyant batsman who was a treat to watch in domestic matches but could not excel at the international level for more reasons than one, is set to announce his retirement in Indore on Sunday. The 34-year-old left hander decided to make way for youngsters after an impressive 17-year first-class career during which he represented Madhya Pradesh and Central Zone with pride. Khurasiya was a scourge for bowlers and even big names like Kapil Dev and Manoj Prabhakar had been in the unenviable position of seeing the Indore batsman on the rampage when they represented North Zone in the early 1990s. Khurasiya made a smashing debut for India when he clobbered 57 off 45 balls with four fours and two sixes against Sri Lanka in Pune in 1999, but could not justify his talent in his remaining 11 One Day Internationals. But contrary to the general image of a man who sparkled and fizzled out fast, Khurasiya came up the ladder the hard way and despite handica... More About: Cricket , Retire , Tire

A Western view to the World Cup debacle
2007-04-21 19:04:00 As the cricket World Cup was to be held in the Caribbean this time around, I and many other cricket lovers residing in the Americas were extremely happy and hopeful. For the first time in World Cup history, the time zone suited us. This meant no more sleepless nights, no more reading about the post mortem of matches but savoring live, real, hard fought cricket. The scene was similar all over the Americas. We were gearing up for the biggest tournament in our own way. Professionals were checking the cricket schedule and planning holidays in advance. Some even trying to predict the teams in the Super-Eight stage and banking leaves in accordance. Students were putting in more hours in their part-time jobs at university cafés to earn that extra cash and take the liberty of buying online web cast of live games without burdening themselves with the guilt of spending the invaluable rupee-converted-dollars sent by their parents from home.

Coach's job does not attract Indians
2007-04-21 19:03:00 It is most amusing to hear former Test players say that they are as good as any in the business to coach the India team to greater heights. Their reason is that they only understand the psyche of Indian players, not a foreigner. Rhetorically, they see a foreigner being engaged as colonial hangover. It is as ridiculous as Mulayam Singh's son challenging Rahul Gandhi to name all the districts in Uttar Pradesh!! Another argument we often hear is that if the Indian coaches are paid as much as John Wright or Greg Chappell, the superstars of yesteryears will only be too happy to take up the job. And when the best in the land are offered a carte blanche, they say it is not the money but they have irresistible commitments elsewhere that are more satisfying. The greatest of them all is believed to have come up with a gem, that coaching is a young man's job! Surely, he is not older than Greg Chappell, the man selected by a committee of which he himself was a membe... More About: Indians , Coach , Dian , Trac

Playing for more than pride
2007-04-21 15:32:00 'He was a genuis, a person who could hit the same ball to any area of the ground' West Indies lost four of their five Super Eights matches and with it the chance for a semi-finals berth. But their last game in this World Cup on Saturday assumed importance not only for the sake of pride but also due to the impending tour of England in May. "We have got a tour of England coming up, and it's important that we play well against them on home soil, on a track that suits our bowlers. We are looking for a competitive performance, and hoping to come away with a win," coach Bennett King was quoted by AFP. Asked what his plans were after captain Brian Lara announced his retirement from international cricket, and Duncan Fletcher stepped down as England coach, King said he was constantly considering his options. "With coaching, you are never quite sure what the bosses are looking for, you are never sure when they have a different vision of taking the team forward and y... More About: More , Pride
Hogg gives Australia edge over South Africa
More articles from this author:2007-04-21 15:30:00 Brad Hogg has taken 19 wickets during an impressive World Cup Ricky Ponting believes Brad Hogg will play a key role when Australia take on South Africa in Wednesday's semi-final in St Lucia. Hogg, the left-arm wrist spinner, took 4 for 29 as Australia thrashed New Zealand by 215 runs in Grenada and only Glenn McGrath (22) is ahead of Hogg's 19 wickets in the tournament. "South Africa probably won't play a spinner in their side," Ponting said. "Those conditions and the way our spin bowlers are going, probably give us a bit of an edge." Ponting also said New Zealand were fooling nobody but themselves in their attempts to downplay the defeat. Stephen Fleming tried to minimise the impact of the largest loss inflicted upon a Test nation at the World Cup, saying his side would just "wipe it off". "I'd rather be in our dressing room than theirs," Ponting said. "I'm sure they will be having all sorts of meetings over the next few days to talk about today's ga...
