A round-up of the Ford Trophy matches that took place on March 23, 2014

ESPNcricinfo staff23-Mar-2014

Northern Districts defended 241 against Canterbury to move to the top of the points table. The two teams had begun the match tied on 18 points, and Canterbury looked set to move ahead when they were 208 for 4 with about eight overs to go in the chase. However, the run-out of Henry Nicholls for 45 sparked a collapse, with medium pacers Scott Kuggeleijn and Graeme Aldridge proceeding to bowl them out for 226 in the 49th, ensuring Dean Brownlie’s competent 84 went in vain.Canterbury had suffered a blow when Rob Nicol had left the field earlier, hurt, without opening his account. It was Nicol who had dented Northern Districts in their innings with his part-timers, picking up three middle-order wickets in quick succession to stem the flow of runs at the death and keep Canterbury’s target to a manageable 242. But it proved to be out of their reach in the end.Auckland coined together an efficient bowling performance after Donovan Grobbelaar’s half-century afforded them enough cushion to beat Otago by 73 runs. A profitable opening partnership helped allay nerves after Auckland were asked to bat, but after the 62 runs added by Tim McKintosh and Anaru Kitchen, the stutter began. Three wickets for 12 runs, two of which were via run-outs, stole the momentum. Grobbelaar (51) was struggling for partners until No.8 Michael Bates (30) showed fortitude during a partnership of 76 runs in 87 balls. Neil Wagner accounted for both of them in the 47th over as Auckland finished at 238.The chase shouldn’t have bothered a batting line-up with Hamish Rutherford, Jesse Ryder and Ryan ten Doeschate, but none of them could convert their starts. Seamer Tipene Friday took 3 for 49, his best List A figures, and instigated a wobble as Otago lost three wickets in four overs. Ryder was sixth man out and the equation turned into a difficult 135 off 148. Bates also took three wickets and Grobbelaar chipped in with two as well, as the tail could not muster even half the necessary runs.Wellington’s top order was enough to overhaul Central Districts’ modest total as half-centuries from Michael Papps and Tom Blundell set up a seven-wicket victory with 10 overs to spare. Kruger van Wyk (70) and captain Kieran Noema-Barnett (52) were the only, and much needed, sources of stability for Central Districts recovered from 91 for 5. Both batsmen fell in quick succession though and Wellington were given a simple target of 201. Seamer Brent Arnel was the most successful bowler on the day, with 4 for 26. There was hardly any trouble in the chase with the second- and third-wicket partnerships yielding 87 and 93 runs respectively. James Franklin sealed it by smashing 18 off five balls, including two sixes.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsTim Southee was the pick of the bowlers in the first innings with four wickets•Getty Images

Smart stats

• Shivnarine Chanderpaul became the seventh batsman in Test cricket, and the second West Indies batsman after Brian Lara, to score 11000 runs. His 76 in the first innings was his 90th fifty-plus score in Tests, pushing him to joint-sixth place on the list of batsmen with most fifty-plus scores in Test cricket.

• New Zealand enforced a follow-on for the 16th time in Test cricket and for the second time against West Indies. The last time they asked West Indies to follow on was in Wellington in 1999.

• The Dunedin Test is the 29th time that West Indies are following-on in Test matches. They have managed to save six of these 29 Tests. The last time West Indies saved a Test after following-on was against India in St. Lucia in 2006.

• The 396-run lead over West Indies in the first innings was New Zealand’s second-highest first-innings lead in Tests. For West Indies, the lead was the seventh-highest ever conceded by them in the first innings of a Test, and the fifth highest conceded in the first innings after bowling first.

• For West Indies, the 117-run partnership between Kirk Edwards and Darren Bravo in the second innings was only the third century-partnership for the second wicket in 48 Test innings since 2011. The last time West Indies batsmen added 100 or more for the second wicket against a major Test team was against Australia in Bridgetown in 2012.

The only other time this millennium New Zealand asked a side other than Zimbabwe or Bangladesh to follow on, the game ended in a draw after their bowlers could only dismiss four batsmen in 180 overs. The chances of a repeat, New Zealand would believe, were extremely low against a West Indies batting line-up low on confidence in the longer format despite the loss of only two wickets in 49 second-innings overs in Dunedin. West Indies still trail by 228 runs after their first innings folded for 213, with Tim Southee and Trent Boult sharing seven wickets between them.The pitch at the University Oval had lost its greenish tinge and with the sun out, the conditions seemed best for batting. West Indies, trailing by 542 at the start of the day, couldn’t have asked for more.The New Zealand bowlers, however, showed yet again where West Indies had gone wrong in the first two days, bowling predominantly fuller lengths and using the bouncer sparingly. With Marlon Samuels and Darren Bravo staying rooted to the crease against swinging deliveries, a wicket never seemed too far away.Southee extracted an outside edge off Samuels’ bat in the second over of the day only to see it fall short of first slip. In the next over, Samuels had another reprieve after Nigel Llong had ruled him out lbw as he played outside the line to a Boult delivery that came in. The replays showed the ball just missing off stump and the decision was overturned.New Zealand’s search for a wicket ended in the fourth over of the day as Bravo drove at a full delivery from Southee and got a thick outside edge which was snaffled by Brendon McCullum at gully. Fifteen balls later, Southee took advantage of Samuels’ reluctance to come forward and had him caught at first slip off an outswinger delivered from a wider angle as the batsman was sucked in to a loose drive to be dismissed for 14.Deonarine added 33 for the fifth wicket with Shivnarine Chanderpaul, pushing at fuller deliveries with hard hands. The technique earned him two boundaries, but an attempted wild drive – without moving his feet – off an angled delivery in Southee’s seventh over of his spell went straight to first slip where Ross Taylor completed the catch after a brief fumble.Unfazed by the indiscretion shown by other batsmen, Chanderpaul batted confidently, driving at the full deliveries, pulling the short ones and using his feet to Ish Sodhi. A powerful pull off Neil Wagner took him past 11,000 runs in Test cricket and three fours in the next over bowled by Sodhi brought him his 62nd half-century in Tests.Ramdin gave Chanderpaul useful support in a 68-run stand but in the third over after lunch, he couldn’t get out of the way off a short delivery from Boult and edged it to the keeper. Boult struck in the next over with the big wicket of Chanderpaul, whose indecision proved fatal as he shouldered arms to an incoming delivery and was adjudged lbw after an 87-ball 76.West Indies could only add 30 more runs as Sodhi, expensive in his spell, picked up two of the last three wickets to fall. Darren Sammy, who was hampered by the hamstring niggle, and was turning down singles, inexplicably called Tino Best for a second, but the latter’s late response meant he was caught well short at non-striker’s end by a throw from long on.It seemed West Indies’ second innings was headed the same way as the first when Kieran Powell drove at a length delivery outside off from Boult and edged it to second slip, but Kirk Edwards and Bravo curtailed the urge to be flamboyant and showed improved application in the second innings.That Boult and Southee needed an extended breather after their first spells worked in the batsmen’s favour as Neil Wagner and Sodhi failed to exert similar pressure after tea. While Wagner couldn’t extract the same movement as the two lead seamers, Sodhi dished out a regular dose of long-hops and full-tosses which allowed the two batsmen to settle into the innings.By the time Southee came back for his second spell, Bravo had put on the cape of confidence and he moved to 40 with a hat-trick of boundaries through covers. In the next over, though, it seemed as if Bravo had fallen short after yet another start. He took the eyes off a short delivery from Wagner and the ball ballooned to first slip after hitting his forearm. Umpire Llong adjudged it not out, and the replays suggested the ball could have only flicked the glove-straps. The third umpire, however, went with the on-field umpire’s call after New Zealand asked for a review. Bravo survived, he rubbed his forearm and wrist immediately after getting hit and that may have worked in his favour.Bravo did get to his half-century – his ninth in Tests and first in 2013 – and along with Edwards helped West Indies resist New Zealand’s charge with a century stand. Edwards, who collected 28 of his 59 runs against Sodhi, was eventually trapped lbw playing back to a slider from the legspinner. Sodhi bowled a much-improved second spell with tighter lines, while slipping in a deceptive googly from time to time that had Samuels in trouble more than once.With eight West Indies wickets remaining, New Zealand would hope to finish off the match on the fourth day.

R Prasanna (left) kept Tamil Nadu afloat with his fourth first-class ton•ESPNcricinfo Ltd/ Siddarth Ravindran

Beside one of the sightscreens at the Bhamashah stadium, there is a large billboard titled ‘The pride of Meerut’ with pictures of Praveen Kumar and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Uttar Pradesh were without those two bowlers, who can be devastating with the new ball, but their absence was hardly felt as RP Singh and debutant Amit Mishra combined to reduce the big-name Tamil Nadu batting to 20 for 4. That too, after Tamil Nadu chose to bat.A century from the visitors’ least-heralded specialist batsman, R Prasanna, and a half-century from their most promising youngster, B Aparajith, helped inject some competitiveness to the total.The curator, Ravindra Chauhan, suggested the early assistance could have been due to an easterly wind this morning, which helps retain the moisture in the track, unlike the westerly which prevailed over the past week. Whatever the reason, the several hundred schoolchildren who filled the stands early on had plenty to shout about in the first hour.Right off the first ball of the match, RP had Abhinav Mukund lbw. S Badrinath fell on the first ball of RP’s second over, as Mohammad Kaif offered a reminder of his fielding abilities with a sharp low catch in the slips. Another athletic take, this time by Arish Alam at gully, sent back Dinesh Karthik. The other Tamil Nadu batsman who has won an India cap, M Vijay, fared no better, done in by an incutter during debutant seamer Mishra’s first over. All three of UP’s frontline quicks – RP, Mishra and Imtiaz Ahmed – worked up decent pace, and weren’t shy of slipping in the odd bouncer.They posed a stiff challenge to the upcoming Aparajith. The hype around Aparajith has increased this season, as he has reeled off two doubles and two other hundreds in his previous five first-class matches. With all the other heavyweights of the Tamil Nadu batting dismissed, this was a test as much of Aparajith’s temperament as his technique.He responded with an innings which is unlikely to go down as his most fluent, but showcased his composure in a difficult situation. Though there were plenty of plays-and-misses, and a caught-and-bowled reprieve from Piyush Chawla, he soldiered on to 60 and put on a century stand with Tamil Nadu’s hero of the day, Prasanna.Prasanna has been around on the domestic circuit for nearly a decade without quite making a big name for himself. This was only his second century since December 2006, but like his previous one in the 2011-12 semi-final against Mumbai, it came when his team desperately needed it. He was cautious early on against the quicks, leaving plenty of deliveries, and only opened out when Chawla bowled some erratic legspin.There were doubts about whether he would he would get to his century as Aparajith was dismissed with him still some way away from three figures. The tail stuck around though, and after a few nervy moments, he poked the ball towards point and yelled for the single to bring up his fourth first-class hundred.Still, Tamil Nadu looked set to be bowled out for a score around 200 till teenager Aswin Crist swung his bat around against the second new ball to pick up a bunch of boundaries on a sluggish outfield. They were 216 for 7 when the new ball was taken, as soon as it was available, and then hit 42 off the final 10 overs. Crist got to half-century, and his 79-run unbroken partnership for the eighth wicket with Prasanna took some of the sheen off what was still UP’s day.

Coube ao Palmeiras honrar o epíteto de “imponente”, constante de seu hino, para garantir sua vaga às semifinais do Paulistão. Contando com qualidade na bola aérea e uma etapa final na qual a troca de passes se sobressaiu, o Verdão atropelou o Tigre por 5 a 0, nesta terça-feira, em jogo de volta pelas quartas do Paulistão. Felipe Melo, Ricardo Goulart, Gustavo Scarpa (2) e Dudu asseguraram a vaga palmeirense no Pacaembu.

Com esta goleada e a eliminação do Red Bull Brasil, os alviverdes são a equipe com melhor campanha na competição. Diante disto, o Palmeiras terá como adversário o time com quarto melhor desempenho entre os semifinalistas, eliminando a possibilidade de Dérbi contra o Corinthians nessa fase. O rival será São Paulo, Ituano e Ferroviária, a depender de combinações nos dois outros confrontos desta quarta-feira.

Pela via aérea!
Bastaram nove minutos para o Palmeiras comprovar que estava de cabeça boa no Pacaembu. Com toque de bola preciso, o alviverde abriu o placar logo em sua primeira oportunidade. Dudu cobrou escanteio e Felipe Melo subiu entre os zagueiros para abrir o placar. E em nova bola alçada pelo camisa 7, o Verdão ampliou: Deyverson deu desvio traiçoeiro e Ricardo Goulart, com o gol vazio, mandou para a rede.

Que tranquilidade…
Em vantagem, o Verdão manteve seu domínio e assustou em finalizações de Deyverson e Bruno Henrique. Mesmo diminuindo seu ritmo contra um Novorizontino que ensaiou uma reação com Jean Patrick e Lucas Ramon, a equipe de Luiz Felipe Scolari manteve-se segura.

VAR entra em cena
A polêmica não demorou a entrar em campo na volta do intervalo. Gustavo Scarpa avançou pela esquerda e a bola tocou no braço de Everton Sena dentro da área. Com a ajuda do VAR, o árbitro Vinicius Gonçalves Dias de Araújo sinalizou pênalti, em meio a reclamações de atletas do Tigre. Com calma, Scarpa cobrou no alto, deslocando Oliveira.

De mão cheia!
Embora tenha cadenciado seu ritmo e até visto Fernando Prass se desdobrar para espalmar chance de Murilo Henrique, o Palmeiras sobrou em campo. Após tabela com Scarpa, Deyverson foi derrubado na área. Dudu, que pediu para cobrar o pênalti, converteu com precisão. Mas ainda cabia mais diante de um Novorizontino prostrado. Após cobrança de lateral, Bruno Henrique esticou a Gustavo Scarpa, que bateu rasteiro e sacramentou uma goleada de mão cheia e honrou a imponência do Verdão.

Pakistan legspinner Danish Kaneria’s father Parbha Shankar Kaneria died on Tuesday.The loss comes at a difficult time for Kaneria, who, last week, lost his ECB disciplinary appeal against two corruption convictions. He was found guilty last year of inducing his former Essex team-mate Mervyn Westfield to take part in spot-fixing and bringing the game into disrepute. Kaneria, however, could still have the length of his life ban from cricket reduced.”I am devastated,” Kaneria told AFP from London. “He was suffering from esophageal cancer which was diagnosed in January and his last rites will be held when I return home.”The PCB condoled the death of Kaneria’s father. “The entire PCB family expresses their deepest sympathies to Mr. Danish Kaneria on this sad occasion,” a board release said. “May the soul of the departed rest in eternal peace. May Allah Almighty give him and his family strength to bear this huge loss.”

Pant lasted only two balls amid a batting collapse from LSG that saw them slide from 110 for 3 to 161 all out

Rapid Fire: Can MI finish in top 2?

Mumbai Indians (MI) sealed their fifth consecutive win in comfortable fashion this season to climb to 12 points in ten games. It was a near-perfect day for the hosts in front of 19,000 kids as they defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for the first time in a league-stage fixture.Half-centuries from Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav – who also became the third-fastest to 4000 IPL runs – helped them set 215 before Jasprit Bumrah’s four-for and Trent Boult’s three-for sealed a 54-run win.Mayank Yadav was back in LSG colours for the first time this season. His pace had dropped but his slower ones were effective and took 2 for 40 in his four overs. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran got starts but LSG’s middle order, including an out-of-sorts Rishabh Pant, crumbled again. The chase fizzled out with the their last six wickets falling for 26 runs.

Mayank strikes on return

The day began with Mayank being announced as Shardul Thakur’s replacement. He took the new ball and bowled in the mid 130-kph to early 140-kph range. The bumper he tried in the first over got spongy bounce and went above Rickelton’s head. But an overpitched ball next up was thumped down the ground.In his next over, Mayank tested the middle of the pitch. Rohit Sharma hit two sixes with the pull, one in front of square and one behind. The response was a change in line, length and pace. It worked as Rohit reached out and sliced a slower length ball to short third.

Rickelton takes MI off to a flier

Rickelton could’ve been run-out in the second over but Aiden Markram missed a direct hit from point. Rickelton showed his trust in the pitch as he slogged and pulled balls off a length. He drove a full toss down to take 15 off Prince Yadav’s first over. There were no other chances created in the 66-run powerplay.Digvesh Rathi came in having not conceded a single six in the powerplay, but Rickelton slog swept him twice for two sixes over midwicket before reaching a 25-ball fifty. Rathi changed ends and bowled quicker and straighter on return. Rickelton’s tried to capitalise on the googly when it was tossed up outside off, but ended up slicing straight to point in the ninth over. He made 58.2:18

Jaffer: Suryakumar more dangerous when he scores all around

SKY, finishers take LSG down

Mayank was brought back with Suryakumar new at the crease. That didn’t work as Suryakumar launched him over his head. Jacks then got a couple of boundaries behind square both sides of the wicket. The slower balls, though, did keep the batters down and MI moved to 105 for 2 in 10 overs.Prince’s reverse-swinging yorker then knocked Jacks over for 29. Suryakumar kept MI’s tempo going by hitting Bishnoi for a four and two sixes in the 13th over, but the 16-run over also saw the dismissal of Tilak Varma.Suryakumar brought up his 4000th run in the IPL with a ramp off Avesh Khan and got another six off Prince over fine leg again. At 157 for 5 in 15 overs, MI were ready to launch but Mayank set them back when he dislodged Hardik’s leg stump and gave away just five runs in the 16th over. Suryakumar was then dismissed for 54 off 28 balls, but MI kept finding the boundaries.Rathi’s off-day continued at the death as LSG continued with just five bowlers. The over started with an edged reverse sweep that went for four. It finished with 19 runs as Naman Dhir and Corbin Bosch got under the ball and launched sixes over the leg side. MI soared past 200 with an over to go. Four full tosses from Avesh in the 20th over helped MI post 215.

Marsh, Pooran start well

Aiden Markram was able to slash Boult, who started from around the wicket, through the off side for a couple of fours. Marsh then launched a flick over square leg off Deepak Chahar that nearly went out of the ground.Bumrah was slightly lucky to get Markram as hi middled flick went straight into the hands of deep-backward square. Pooran got hold of Chahar in his third powerplay over, scything two wide yorkers for six before pulling a short ball for one more as LSG posted to 60 for 1 in six.

Jacks does it again

With Mitchell Santner out due to a finger niggle and a left-hander on the tear, Jacks was brought on ahead of Karn Sharma and he struck twice. The first ball was lobbed up in the slot but Pooran mistimed a lofted drive to long-off, where Suryakumar took a good catch.Pant was back at No. 4 but endured another short stay at the crease. He edged a cut for four through third before miscuing a premeditated reverse sweep to Karn at short third. The wicket led to the two overs following the powerplay going for just 13 runs.Trent Boult got two wickets in the middle overs•Associated Press

Boult and co. keep set batters in check

Ayush Badoni got off to a watchful start. He was on seven off seven balls before making room and and slashing Karn for two fours and a six. Marsh hit two fours off Hardik Pandya’s sole over but slowed down from 31 off 17 to 34 off 24. Hardik rang in the changes as five different bowlers were used between the eighth and 13th overs.The asking rate rose close to 12 when Boult, on return, got Marsh with a slower ball and reduce LSG to 110 for 4. Badoni and David Miller continued the trend of the earlier partnership with Miller, the new batter, getting off to a quick start (21 off 13) while the set batter slowed down.Badoni got away with an undetected edge in the 14th over but fell to a slower ball from Boult to end with 35 off 22 after being 30 off 15.

Bumrah brings the chase crashing down

Bumrah returned with LSG needing 76 off 30 balls and got three wickets, starting with Miller’s. Bumrah followed Miller with a low full toss that was flicked to Bosch at deep midwicket. A dipping slower yorker had Abdul Samad early into the shot and knocked middle stump back. A pace-on yorker smashed Avesh’s off stump. At 142 for 8, the game was effectively done.Bishnoi was able to launch a couple of sixes, the second of which was off Bumrah and brought out smiles and fist-pumps, but Bosch and Boult cleaned up the tail and completed MI’s 150th IPL win comprehensively.

O Santos venceu o Sergipe em sua estreia na edição 2019 da Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. A goleada por 5 a 1, em jogo realizado na cidade de Mogi das Cruzes, no estádio Nogueirão, teve como destaque a atuação de Lucas Lourenço, promessa da base santista que já mostrou a que veio na competição, apesar do pênalti desperdiçado. Além dele, a chuva foi outro personagem no duelo desta sexta-feira, paralisando a partida por quase uma hora.

A vitória começou a ser construída com um minuto de jogo, quando Alexandre marcou após assistência de Rhuan, que cruzou da esquerda na cabeça do companheiro. Foi o início do domínio do time da Baixada durante quase todo o primeiro tempo, e que foi confirmado com um belo gol de Thailson, aos 24 minutos, em jogada individual.

No segundo tempo, repetindo o que houve na primeira etapa, o Peixe não esperou o relógio completar um minuto para marcar outra vez. Após lindo lance de Lucas Lourenço, o meia cruzou para Thailson, que tocou para Wesley Pinheiro desviar para a rede e ampliar o placar, pouco antes de chuva apertar, um temporal das as caras e o jogo ser paralisado aos oito minutos da metade final.

Aproximadamente 50 minutos depois, a partida foi retomada pela arbitragem, no entanto as condições do gramado, por conta da quantidade de chuva, ainda não eram as ideais para a prática do esporte, o que favoreceu, em alguns momentos, a equipe menos técnica: a do Sergipe, que descontou com um gol contra de Rhuan. E quase anotou o segundo, em seguida, com Carlos Henrique, que parou no goleiro Thiago.

Ainda houve tempo para Lucas Lourenço sofrer e desperdiçar um pênalti, defendido pelo goleiro Rodrigo, do Sergipe, para Felipe Torres marcar o quarto gol do time santista, após escanteio, e para Mikael anotar o quinto tento em cobrança de falta, fechando a goleada no Nogueirão.

Com o espetáculo prejudicado pelo temporal e o bom desempenho de Lucas Lourenço, o Santos garantiu a goleada e termina a primeira rodada na liderança do Grupo 25. Na próxima segunda-feira, às 20h, o time da Baixada enfrenta o São Caetano, também em Mogi das Cruzes.
