The Surfer: Patience the key for New Zealand

On New Zealand’s previous tours of Australia, the strategy of being aggressive has produced mixed results. Now with Australia fielding a weakened attack, minus Pat Cummins, it’s important that New Zealand don’t go on an all-out attack and instead be patient, writes Mark Richardson in the New Zealand Herald. Good things will come to those Black Caps batsmen who wait. This is because they won’t have to wait too long. The feeling is that, when you bat against Australia, you have to be aggressive and take it to them. That…

Windies bowl England out for 243

CHENNAI: West Indies bowled England out for 243 in 48.4 overs in a World Cup Group B match here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday. Fast bowler Andre Russell bagged four wickets for 49 runs and leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo claimed three for 34 on his one-day international debut while pacer Kemar Roach took two wickets. Luke Wright kept England’’s World Cup hopes alive by hitting 44 runs against the West Indies on his tournament debut Wright, in at 134 for five, made a key contribution to England’’s 243 all out. Jonathan Trott (47) was the only other batsman who managed more than 40 after Andrew Strauss won the toss and batted. Wright and fellow World Cup debutant James Tredwell shared a seventh-wicket stand of 41 after England had slumped to 151 for six. Trott, belying his reputation as a steady accumulator, made a blistering start after Russell bowled Matt Prior. Strauss fell for 31 when he top-edged a pull off Russell and the fit-again Chris Gayle, running around from midwicket, held a fine catch. Bishoo, only at the World Cup as an injury replacement for all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, dismissed Trott when he closed the face too early and chipped a simple catch to Gayle at mid-wicket. England then saw their fourth and fifth wickets fall on 134. Fast bowler Kemar Roach knocked back Ian Bell’’s off-stump and Bishoo had left-hander Eoin Morgan gloving an attempted reverse-sweep to wicketkeeper Devon Thomas. Wright, after Tredwell was run out, exited when he holed out off Bishoo. England have to win this match in order to have a shot at reaching the quarter-finals — and even then other results would have to go their way. Defeat would spell the end of their World Cup and ensure the West Indies and co-hosts India and Bangladesh join South Africa in the knockout stages.

England win toss, bat against West Indies

CHENNAI: England captain Andrew Strauss has won the toss and elected to bat in their crucial match against the West Indies in the World Cup Group B here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday. Weary England could see their exhausting five-month global road trip end today in a do-or-die World Cup showdown against the Windies. Victory will keep England’’s hopes of making the quarter-finals alive but defeat will send their opponents, as well as India and Bangladesh, into the last eight. England have endured a rollercoaster campaign. They defeated the Netherlands and South Africa, lost to Bangladesh and Ireland and tied with India. They know that even a win on Thursday may not be enough if other results on Saturday and Sunday work conspire against them. Their problems have been compounded by illness suffered by Strauss, key spinner Graeme Swann and fast bowler Ajmal Shahzad. The form of Ashes spearhead Jimmy Anderson, whose four wickets have cost 282 runs at an average of more than 70 apiece, is another distraction. Strauss said he hoped the make-or-break nature of Thursday’’s contest would see England raise their game. West Indies captain Darren Sammy hopes to make the most of coach Ottis Gibson’’s inside knowledge of England. Gibson spent more than two years as England’’s bowling coach before taking charge of the West Indies in January 2010. West Indies have been bolstered for this match by the return of dynamic opening batsman Chris Gayle, who missed their 44-run win against Ireland last time out with an abdominal strain. Unlike Group B, where only South Africa have so far assured qualification, all four qualifying spots in Group have been wrapped up by Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and New Zealand.

Cricket WC: Now or never for Eng Cup dream

NEW DELHI: Weary England could see their exhausting five-month global road trip end on Thursday when they tackle a resurgent West Indies in a do-or-die World Cup showdown. Victory will keep England’’s hopes of making the quarter-finals alive but defeat will send their opponents, as well as India and Bangladesh, into the last eight. England captain Andrew Strauss dismissed the effects of fatigue on a squad which has been on the road virtually non-stop since October’’s departure for their successful Ashes campaign. “Fatigue is the last thing on our minds,” Strauss insisted ahead of the match in Chennai. “We know what the prize is and we are determined to make the most of our opportunity.” England have endured a rollercoaster campaign. They defeated the Netherlands and South Africa, lost to Bangladesh and Ireland and tied with India. They know that even a win on Thursday may not be enough if other results on Saturday and Sunday work conspire against them. Their problems have been compounded by illness suffered by Strauss, key spinner Graeme Swann and fast bowler Ajmal Shahzad. The form of Ashes spearhead Jimmy Anderson, whose four wickets have cost 282 runs at an average of more than 70 apiece, is another distraction. Strauss said he hoped the make-or-break nature of Thursday’’s contest would see England raise their game. “We have done well in big matches over the last couple of years. The equation is very simple and this isn”t a time to go into our shells — we have to go out there and take the West Indies on.” West Indies captain Darren Sammy hopes to make the most of coach Ottis Gibson’’s inside knowledge of England. Gibson spent more than two years as England’’s bowling coach before taking charge of the West Indies in January 2010. “He has a lot of information and has worked in a successful English team,” said Sammy. “Obviously we”ve been analysing the opposition. We”ll be looking to go out and exploit the weaknesses. “It’’s a good time to play England,” added Sammy. “They”ve been on the road for a long time. Apparently, they”ve been home for four days in five months. In order for them to stay, they”ve got to win or maybe some of them will want to go home to their families.” West Indies have been bolstered for this match by the return of dynamic opening batsman Chris Gayle, who missed their 44-run win against Ireland last time out with an abdominal strain. Unlike Group B, where only South Africa have so far assured qualification, all four qualifying spots in Group have been wrapped up by Australia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Australia captain Ricky Ponting said he was looking forward to the champions being tested by Pakistan in their final group match in Colombo on Saturday. Australia, bidding for a fourth straight title, made it 34 games unbeaten at the World Cup with a seven-wicket thrashing of Canada in Bangalore on Wednesday.(AFP)
