Marcus Trescothick blasted eight sixes in a whirlwind 87 to lead Somerset to an emphatic eight-wicket win over Unicorns in a one-sided game at Taunton.

05-May-2013Somerset 184 for 2 (Trescothick 87, Trego 75*) beat Unicorns 183 for 8 (Elstone 75*, Meschede 2-15) by 8 wickets
ScorecardMarcus Trescothick blasted eight sixes in a whirlwind 87 to lead Somerset to an emphatic eight-wicket win over Unicorns in a one-sided game at Taunton.The hosts needed only 15.3 overs to chase down a target of 184, with Trescothick making his runs off just 49 balls and opening partner Peter Trego smashing 75 not out off 38 deliveries, with 10 fours and four sixes.Scott Elstone’s 75 not out was the backbone of a Unicorns total of 183 for 8 after losing the toss. Tom Lancefield hit 38, while Craig Meschede was the pick of the Somerset bowlers with two for 15 from his eight overs.The result was never in doubt once Trescothick and Trego cut loose with a brutal attack on the Unicorns bowlers. Trescothick hit four sixes off consecutive balls from Josh Poysden and three in succession off Garry Park. He was finally caught at long-off and the successful bowler Paul Hindmarch had Jos Buttler taken at backward square-leg off his next ball.But by then the outcome had been settled. Trescothick ended with seven fours to go with his abundance of sixes, at times appearing to flick to ball over the ropes with nonchalant ease.Despite the best efforts of Lancefield and Elstone, Unicorns were never able to gain the necessary momentum to their innings in excellent batting conditions.Former Surrey batsman Lancefield impressed at the top of the order, finding the boundary four times in his 42-ball innings. But Trego struck twice in the first seven overs, sending back Lewis Hill and Michael O’Shea with only 32 on the board.Lancefield departed with the score on 65, caught behind to give Meschede the first of his two wickets. The second was former Somerset favourite Keith Parsons, also taken by wicketkeeper Buttler, for a third-ball duck, having received a rousing ovation from home fans.In between Meschede’s wickets, leg-spinner Max Waller had Park caught at deep square off a slog sweep for 22 and it was left to Elstone to boost a modest total with some quality shots, including a six over long-on off Lewis Gregory.

Matt Coles, who started the season with a maiden championship hundred, stood out with the ball with three wickets against Gloucestershire

Alex Winter at Canterbury19-Apr-2012
ScorecardCanterbury didn’t seem quite prepared for the start of a new season. As play began a digger was still rumbling away at the new club offices, workmen aboard ladders hammered up hoardings and supporters hoping to use the overflow car park were turned away because of a flood.At least on the field, Kent were into the swing of a new campaign. Matt Coles, who started the season with a maiden championship hundred, this time stood out with the ball with three wickets as Gloucestershire declined to 131 for 6 by the close of an abbreviated day.But swing was not the primary factor of Kent’s success with the ball. Movement off the seam from the Nackington Road End produced wickets for Coles and Mark Davies to leave Kent, who won the toss, firmly on top.Those glancing at the scorecard may have pulled a seems-fair-enough face given the conditions around the country but the ball did not swing excessively and the pitch was fine; it was slow, like the sluggish outfield, but perfectly agreeable for batsman with the correct technique. But such necessities were lacking in Richard Coughtrie, defying the cold in short sleeves, and Hamish Marshall. Both were caught on the crease to deliveries where they had to be forward.Likewise Chris Dent – a talented player who scored a first-innings century against Hampshire last week. He cut his second ball without moving his feet and got an inside edge low to Geraint Jones. Alex Gidman went the other way, following a ball outside off to edge behind; his dropping by Ben Harmison at third slip only costing Kent four runs.It did not take batting genius to succeed as Benny Howell underlined with a very comfortable 44. Howell was released from Hampshire last season after only one Championship appearance in which he made a second-innings 71 against Lancashire. But one 2nd XI game for Gloucestershire on Monday was enough demonstration of talent to be picked here: his retirement on 207 against Surrey at Bristol a successful trial.He certainly looked in good nick, timing the ball well and thumping six boundaries – his power was evident. Lunch checked his momentum and he was lbw in the second over after the interval to one that nipped back.”It was a bit unfortunate in the end at Hampshire,” Howell said. “I did alright; I played all the one-day games but was just disappointed at the lack of opportunities in four-day cricket. So I was looking to move on and luckily I’ve got this opportunity pretty early. I felt in good nick. The pitch was a bit slow and it took time to get used to the slope – it just keeps going with the angle.”It was the slope which had claimed two of Howell’s colleagues. But he adjusted well and showed a technique that bettered many in the order: the main factor in the visitors’ predicament. The bowling was not good enough to put Gloucestershire in the trouble in which they find themselves.The point was proved as Ian Cockbain and Will Gidman concentrated long enough for a stand of 58 for the sixth wicket – a desperately needed partnership. Both are functional players and neither got into any rhythm. Gidman drove with a lack of timing and his cut for four to bring up the half-century stand was his best stroke.But rhythm was difficult to find with the looming weather. The floodlights came on and off and on again; sunshine teased in among heavy showers – the second burst forced tea at 3.15pm. A third series brought the close at 5.45pm with the loss of 42 overs during the day.Rain-filled days often produce an impossible situation for batsman and, sure enough, to the penultimate ball of the three-over evening session, Davies angled one into Cockbain who got an inside edge onto his front pad and was caught in the gully: a dismissal which rounded off Gloucestershire’s sloppiness.

ESPNcricinfo previews the game between Chennai Super Kings and Pune Warriors

Match facts

Monday, April 25, Chennai
Start time 2000 (1430 GMT)The two will be on opposite sides on Monday, trying to arrest their respective IPL team’s slides•AFP

Big picture

How many times must a team fall before it is considered to be in freefall? Two? Maybe not. Chennai Super Kings and Pune Warriors, both on two-match losing streaks after good starts to their competition, are not yet in freefall, but by midnight on Monday one of them will have lost three in a row, and will have a lot of worrying to do.

Chennai will be more desperate to stop the slide having lost three out of their five matches. A loss on Monday will leave them needing at least five wins out of their last eight. Pune, who have lost two out of four, are one defeat short of moving into the situation Chennai find themselves in. They’ll want to avoid it.

Team talk

Chennai have two choices to make. The first one is simpler, picking one out of Tim Southee and Suraj Randiv. The other choice is difficult: both Shadab Jakati and Joginder Sharma have struggled so far. Will they make a choice between the two or pick a new bowler, perhaps Sudeep Tyagi or Yo Mahesh?
Pune will need to tweak their line-up as Manish Pandey is now available after serving his four-match ban. Pandey could come in for Graeme Smith, who is struggling for form and fitness. It will be interesting to see if they persist with Tim Paine if Smith can’t make it. Paine made 2 off 9 balls against Mumbai Indians on his IPL debut.Predict the playing XIs for this match.

In the spotlight

None of the Pune bowlers features in the top 12 wicket-takers in the tournament so far. Yuvraj Singh is their leading wicket-taker with four strikes. They will be looking for a bigger effort from the specialist bowlers.

South Africa’s national team doesn’t want him, but MS Dhoni finds enough work for Albie Morkel, who bowls ahead of Doug Bollinger and has delivered Chennai’s only maiden of the tournament.

Prime numbers

• With five catches and a stumping, Robin Uthappa has statistically been the second-most successful wicketkeeper, behind Kumar Sangakkara with eight dismissals
• S Anirudha has taken six catches this season, the most for a fielder other than a wicketkeeper

The chatter

“We have won two home games, so if we win the rest of the home games, we are going to be close to the play-offs. We have to keep winning matches and not worry about the run-rate. If you have one good week, you find yourself at the top of the table.”

A calmly paced century from Ramnaresh Sarwan helped West Indies overcome a spirited Ireland in a rain-affected encounter in Jamaica, as they eased to their target with six wickets and six deliveries to spare

Cricinfo staff15-Apr-2010West Indies 213 for 4 (Sarwan 100*, Deonarine 57) beat Ireland 219 (K O’Brien 54, Stirling 51, Bernard 3-32) by six wickets (D/L)
ScorecardRamnaresh Sarwan struck 11 fours in a 119-ball innings to overcome his team’s anxieties•DigicelCricket.com

A calmly paced century from Ramnaresh Sarwan helped West Indies overcome a spirited Ireland in a rain-affected encounter in Jamaica, as they eased to their target with six wickets and six deliveries to spare.Chasing a revised target of 213 in 45 overs after their innings had been interrupted in the sixth over, Sarwan finished the match with 100 not out from 119 balls, having broken the back of the run-chase in a 111-run stand for the fourth wicket with Narsingh Deonarine.Having recently lost to Zimbabwe in humiliating fashion, West Indies were looking on course for another embarrassment when they lost Andre Fletcher and Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the first ten deliveries of their innings to creep to 1 for 2. Wavell Hinds was then caught and bowled for 20 by George Dockrell (56 for 3), but Sarwan struck 11 fours in a 119-ball innings to overcome his team’s anxieties.Earlier, Ireland won the toss and batted first, and their total of 219 was built on the efforts of Paul Stirling, who made 51 from 83 deliveries, and the O’Brien brothers – Niall, who made 49 from 76 balls, and Kevin, whose hard-hitting 54 from 51 balls included three fours and the only two sixes of the innings. Kevin brought up his fifty with a fierce pull to midwicket but was bowled shortly after by Ravi Rampaul.None of the three men could go on to produce the big innings that would have anchored the innings, however, and West Indies were able to peg Ireland back to an obtainable total, thanks in particular to the efforts of David Bernard, who starred with 3 for 32 in 10 overs, and Sulieman Benn, who claimed for 2 for 29 in eight.West Indies coach Ottis Gibson was all praise for Sarwan and Deonarine. “We lost a few wickets early on, but Sarwan played well to get a brilliant hundred to win us the game,” said Gibson. “It was good to see Deonarine coming in and once again getting among the runs, he is obviously a player in form and he is showing that.”We also bowled well this morning, Bernard Jr. did very well, but all in all it was a very good performance from my boys.”Ireland’s captain, William Porterfield picked on the positives from defeat. “We played pretty well but there are a few areas that we can improve on,” said Porterfield. “But I thought the way we came out and fought with the ball was a good sign. We started very well but Sarwan’s knock was a pretty good one and it basically took the game away from us.”

In tough conditions, Cox – with the help of Sam Curran – marshalled the chase against top-spot rivals Southern Brave

ECB Media08-Aug-2024Oval Invincibles claimed the most significant scalp of their title defence so far with a six-wicket over Southern Brave in their top-of-the-table clash at The Kia Oval.Tom Curran claimed four wickets, his younger brother Sam chipping in with two, to restrict Brave to 118 for eight before a curious chase that saw Dawid Malan face 10 consecutive dot balls and Chris Jordan not concede a run from his first 11 deliveries.Jordan Cox, England’s latest call-up to the Test squad, and Sam Curran eventually broke the shackles in a 58-run stand from 27 balls to usher the hosts over the line with 15 balls to spare.James Vince was the only Brave batter who came to grips with the home attack, scoring 52 from 39 balls, as Invincibles moved a step closer to booking their place in the knockout stages.Skipper Sam Curran has been central to a run of five wins in six games, and while he would claim a third successive Meerkat Match Hero award again tonight, it was his older brother Tom who took the limelight with the ball taking 4 for 24 in front of a crowd of 23,948. The visitors slipped to 31 for four as wicket fell too regularly around Vince.Sam Curran was unfurling his airplane celebration early when he bowled Alex Davies before Tom found a regulation edge from Andre Fletcher through to Sam Billings. Will Jacks bowled Leus du Plooy and Laurie Evans top-edged Adam Zampa to leave Brave immediately behind the game.
Captain Vince set about hauling his side back into the contest, sharing a 58-run stand with Kieron Pollard, who edged Sam Curran to give Billings his third catch after managing 18 from 15 balls.Tom Curran was on a hat-trick from the final ball of the innings, removing Jofra Archer and Akeal Hossein from successive balls, before Craig Overton just about avoided the field and saw the ball run away to the rope.Jacks thumped the first ball of the reply for six, only to get a leading edge to Overton two balls later, before the chase lost all momentum.
Malan did manage a heaved six before he simply could not locate the ball, eventually being well held by Archer at mid-on to depart for 14 from 31 balls.But the in-form Sam Curran joined Cox and immediately set about putting the game to bed, the pair taking 23 from four Hosein deliveries to settle any nerves. Hosein did get Sam Curran, but not before he added 35 from 18 balls, as Cox finished unbeaten on 46 from 29 balls.Meerkat Match Hero, Sam Curran, said: “Huge win. The two form teams at the moment and a top of the table clash. We knew we had to win this to give us the best chance of going straight through to Lord’s (and reach the final).”We have complemented each other really well with the ball this season. Towards the end we just had a swing and hope and it worked out.”I’m really confident and enjoying the environment. I feel this team has got it right and hopefully we can do that for the rest of the tournament.”

Hampshire captain makes 95 to extend prolific run at Ageas Bowl

ECB Reporters Network18-May-2023Hampshire 331 for 6 (Vince 95, Dawson 56*, Brown 44, Middleton 40) vs NorthamptonshireJames Vince was finally dismissed at the Ageas Bowl after again dominating Northamptonshire with an expert 95 in the LV=Insurance County Championship.Hampshire captain Vince had clocked up 232 runs in 514 minutes since he was last dismissed at the Ageas Bowl, while he has now passed fifty in four of his last five Championship innings.The batter, who had dismayed Northamptonshire with 186 at Wantage Road last month, mixed grit with his typically stylish stroke play to help his side to 331 for six at close.Around Vince, Fletcha Middleton impressed with 40 and Ben Brown with 44 before Liam Dawson chalked up 56 not out. With the ball, James Sales was the pick with two for 32, while Jack White claimed two for 65.Northamptonshire are sick of the sight of Vince after his mammoth knock in an innings victory at Wantage Road last month. That bile would have swelled in their mouths after he won the toss and chose to bat, with all conditions assisting run-making.Vince was the least of Northamptonshire’s worries in the first half an hour as Middleton and Joe Weatherley enjoyed an explosive start against an attack lacking the injured Ben Sanderson.The pair scored 12 in the first over and were up to 22 after the second as the first 31 minutes saw the half-century stand arrive in only 46 balls.But Jordan Buckingham brilliantly angled in and seamed away to bowl Weatherley to halt and swing the momentum.Northamptonshire had by no means disgraced themselves in that avalanche of runs but slightly tighter lines and a slightly softer ball stemmed the runs and built pressure.The remaining 90 minutes of the session saw just 45 more runs with Middleton playing across the line to be bowled by Sales and the bogged-down Nick Gubbins leg before to Jack White.Vince had arrived and was joined by Brown; the two experienced pros refused to allow a collapse similar to that which turned their last home fixture with Warwickshire into a catastrophe.Vince’s England Test days are almost certainly behind him now, he wasn’t named in the squad to face Ireland next month – not that anyone had suggested him – and hasn’t featured since the last of his 13 Tests in 2018.Quietly though, he has been finding the form an often-fragile Hampshire batting line-up needs from him. His 186 at Northampton was followed by twin-unbeaten fifties in the Warwickshire defeat. Only James Rew and Tom Westley have more than his 477 Division One runs this season.Here he was patient, especially against the nagging accuracy of Sales and Tom Taylor but still had time to play his greatest hits – his 50 in 100 balls came with a cover drive.Brown was equally sedate in the 106-run stand, although earned a life when he was dropped at second slip before he was eventually bowled chopping on Sales.Vince quickly moved on to partnering up with Dawson and another fruitful stand; this time worth 75.But hopes of a 29th first-class century were thwarted in the over before the second new ball as an innocuous forward defence to Rob Keogh was tickled behind. Ian Holland followed when he was lbw to White with the new cherry.Dawson continued from his 84 against Kent last week to end the day’s landmark curse with his fifty coming in 79 balls, during an unbeaten 50 stand with Keith Barker.On first-class debut, leg-spinner Alex Russell, 21, showed high promise with a number of challenging deliveries despite going wicketless.

ESPNcricinfo understands an increased demand for tickets led to the association seeking government approval to throw open the entire stadium

Shashank Kishore10-Mar-2022The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has been thrown open to 100% crowd capacity for the second India-Sri Lanka Test, which will be played under lights, starting Saturday. This is a change from the earlier approved 50% capacity. The decision comes following approval from the state government to the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA).ESPNcricinfo understands an increased demand for tickets led to the association seeking government’s approval. Nearly 10,000 tickets thrown open to the general public have been sold out for the first two days, according to KSCA treasurer Vinay Mrithyunjaya.Related

The KSCA has also opened additional tickets from Friday to cope with the surge in demand, following their decision to throw open the entire stadium to spectators.”Considering the high volume of response and since there are no further restrictions for spectators, KSCA will be opening up sale of tickets for full capacity of the stadium,” stated an official release from the association.Bengaluru is hosting a Test for the first time since Afghanistan played their inaugural game in the city in June 2018. It last hosted an international fixture in January 2020, when Australia toured for a short ODI series, with Rohit Sharma’s century sealing a series win for India.Overall, this is India’s third day-night pink-ball Test at home, following matches in Kolkata against Bangladesh (November 2019) and Ahmedabad against England (February 2021). India won both those Tests inside three days.The city was initially slated to host the first Test, Virat Kohli’s 100th, but was later slotted in to host the tour ender as it would help facilitate a direct flight back home to Colombo for the visiting Sri Lankans.

Gloucestershire, Lancashire refuse to blame conditions and accept they were beaten by better teams

Matt Roller04-Oct-2020Beaten T20 Blast semi-finalists Gloucestershire and Lancashire held their hands up and offered no excuses after 11-over defeats, refusing to blame conditions for their exits and instead accepting that they were beaten by better teams.Both sides were defeated convincingly batting first after a day and a half of persistent rain in Birmingham, Gloucestershire losing to Surrey with eight balls to spare after posting a below-par 73 for 7, before Lancashire’s 94 for 4 proved to be too few against Nottinghamshire, who chased that target with 16 balls left.Instead, both teams’ captains pointed to their missing overseas players and hoped that the addition of international stars next season would propel them into the final.Gloucestershire had signed Afghanistan legspinner Qais Ahmed and Australian seamer AJ Tye for the Blast, but cancelled their contracts due to the impact of the pandemic on both club finances and international travel. In previous seasons, they have been led by the talismanic Michael Klinger, who has been the linchpin at the top of their batting order.”We’ve used our squad and guys have stepped up and chipped in at different times,” said Jack Taylor. “We’ve got such a competitive squad, and we’re having to leave guys out who want places in the team and that’s without having overseas players.””I’ve no doubt we’ll come back next year and put in another strong showing like we have done in the group stages in the past four or five years. I don’t think there are any excuses: we all wanted to play and prepared to play and were very excited to get out there but we weren’t quite good enough. We didn’t quite sum up the conditions – I reckon we only needed 15 more runs.”Lancashire, meanwhile, had planned to add Glenn Maxwell and James Faulkner to their squad for the second year in a row, but again had to cancel their contracts. As a result, they lacked power in the middle order with the bat, and added only 20 runs in the final 2.5 overs of their innings.For Nottinghamshire, Imad Wasim bowled his three overs for just 20, while Dan Christian finished the game with four sixes in as many balls off Liam Livingstone after bowling a tight final over.”Tonight wasn’t our night,” Lancashire captain Dane Vilas said. “Their overseas stepped up and did the business, with overseas players maybe being the difference tonight.”I think momentum was with us: we were pretty confident at the halfway stage getting near that competitive 100 mark and then we squeezed with our spinners. But unfortunately, in any game Dan Christian hitting those sixes takes it away from you.”For the second year in a row, Vilas was left to rue his decision to bowl Livingstone at a crucial time. In last year’s quarter-final, he bowled the 19th over against Essex and disappeared for three sixes; this evening, Christian managed one more off the eighth to effectively end the game as a contest.”Credit to Livi,” Vilas said. “He stuck his hand up and he wants to be that sort of guy who does well for us and has done it in the past. I was confident, and I was backing him tonight. I thought we had a chance when he was going with the bat, but it wasn’t to be.”

Committee of Administrators takes decision as 31 out of 38 state associations technically agree to implement Lodha recommendations

Nagraj Gollapudi21-May-2019Finally, after nearly 30 months of being supervised by a court-appointed authority, the BCCI members are on track to regain control of board with their elections scheduled for October 22. The decision was taken by the three-member Committee of Administrators (CoA) in Delhi today, nearly two-and-a-half years after it was appointed by the Supreme Court to oversee the BCCI’s implementation of the Lodha Committee’s recommendations.The development came close on the heels of the negotiations between the BCCI members – state associations – and senior Supreme Court advocate PS Narasimha, the amicus curiae appointed earlier this year. Having heard the BCCI members individually, Narasimha submitted a report to the court, which will sign off on the matter when it reopens in July after the summer recess.It is understood that 31 out of the 38 state associations have technically agreed to comply with the Lodha recommendations subject to all the concessions discussed and approved by Narasimha. Of the seven other members, a few wanted to take a final call after consulting their own members.One important recommendation that Narasimha agreed to modify, in step with the state associations, was regarding the strength of the Apex Council, a key authorising body under the reforms. Narasimha agreed to expand it from nine members to 19. Under the CoA-approved BCCI constitution, the Apex Council will comprise nine members both at the board and the state level, something the board members have objected to.During the negotiations, Narasimha also provided clarity on the disputed recommendation concerning the tenure of the office bearers. The Lodha Committee had recommended that an office bearer could preside for nine years separately at the state and the BCCI level, as long as a cooling-off period was in place. But the new BCCI constitution registered last year was not clear on this point. Narasimha confirmed that an office bearer could work for 18 years as long as the cooling-off period of three years, which comes into play after two consecutive terms of three years each, was exercised.CoA chairman Vinod Rai, at the time of his appointment, had said the interim panel’s role would be akin to that of the nightwatchman in cricket. But the role turned out to be significantly more elaborate as virtually every state association was against readily implementing the Lodha reforms that were approved by the court in 2016.As the state associations became more dogged in their resistance, the CoA’s vigil extended and so did its authority. Gradually, as the CoA wielded its control beyond the reforms, it even became the final authority on cricketing decisions. Consequently, a parallel conflict erupted with the state associations and the three BCCI office bearers contesting the CoA’s powers and approaching the court on several occasions.With the state associations adopting a confrontational stance, the CoA submitted ten status reports to the court listing out the difficulties it was facing in helping the BCCI implement the reforms. The court intervened intermittently, including amending a few of the original Lodha recommendations. Last October, BCCI chief executive officer Rahul Johri, at the behest of the CoA, registered a new BCCI constitution mandating the reforms.Several states refused to budge though, even with the CoA asking the court to bar the voting rights of all BCCI members that declined to be compliant. A total of 80-odd interlocutory applications – pleas – were filed by various state associations contesting the reforms.However, Narasimha’s mediation role seems to have worked, allowing the CoA to now put out a roadmap for the elections. Rai said the CoA was “exceedingly happy” that the BCCI members had decided to comply.
“It was a nightwatchman who came to stay,” Rai told ESPNcricinfo. “However, I feel very happy that the state associations have cooperated and all the recommendations have been accepted, which means now there is a general consensus that cricket administration should be streamlined and run [in an] objective and transparent manner. The CoA is exceedingly happy to entrust the administration of the BCCI back to the democratic body.”According to Rai, till the elections are held, the CoA will continue to monitor and authorise cricketing operations, including matters related to the appointment or renewal of coaching staff. Incidentally, the tenure of the coaching staff of the Indian men’s team is up to the end of World Cup on July 14.The BCCI elections will usher in a new era in Indian cricket administration, which has historically been run by a group of individuals that has wielded power and exercised control for decades.* To contest these elections, both at the state level and the BCCI, an administrator/office bearer would need to fulfil the following criteria: he/she should be an Indian citizen, not over 70, not insolvent or of unsound mind, not a government servant or a minister, not part of any other sports federation, and most importantly not held office at state or BCCI level for a cumulative period of nine years.It remains to be seen whether the three current BCCI office bearers – CK Khanna (acting president), Amitabh Choudhury (acting secretary) and Anirudh Chaudhry (treasurer) – are eligible to contest the elections. All three have reportedly served for more than the permissible nine years at their respective state associations. At the BCCI level, all three have served for varied periods and might need to serve the mandatory three-year cooling-off period before being eligible to contest board elections.Key dates
June 30: Deadline for the BCCI to appoint an electoral officer, and the preparing of the electoral protocol by the said electoral officer in consultation with the CoA, which should be communicated to all the state associations
