India’s cricketers are hopeful that a compromise can be reached that will allow them to meet the sponsorship requirements for the World Cup starting next month.Contract issues had not previously been referred to on the tour but at today’s pre-match press conference before tomorrow’s sixth National Bank Series one-day match against New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland, India’s captain Sourav Ganguly said the side had been in touch with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the matter.”We are in contact with the BCCI, they’ve told ICC what is our problem and given our terms and conditions in certain areas.”We all feel at the end of the day there has to be an adjustment from both sides. It can never be one-sided, whether it is the players or the ICC,” Ganguly said.”We’ve made our statement clear to them that this is what we can do and this is what we can’t do. Now the rest is up to them.”He didn’t think there was any potential for conflict so close to the World Cup because a similar thing happened when they were in England last year before the ICC Champions Trophy and the players had decided to co-operate fully.They did so thinking that there would be time after the Champions Trophy to sort it out.”But the situations have been the same. There are certain restrictions on us because we have our existing contracts which are illegal to break so we’ve let them know that.”So now it depends on them to come to a solution. But I feel there has got to be a bit of adjustment from both the sides which we are ready to do and which I hope ICC are ready to do,” he said.

Herschelle Gibbs totally destroyed any chance that Kenya might have thought they had as the right-handed opener stroked South Africa to a ten-wicket victory at the North West Stadium in Potchefstroom.Gibbs took his score from 21 off 22 balls before the lunch break to a magnificent, undefeated 87 off 66 balls as South Africa cruised past the 141 they required for victory in the 22nd over.Gibbs was merciless on the three spinners employed by Steve Tikolo, all brought on inside the first 15 overs, helping himself to four cleanly-struck sixes and 12 fours, driven, pulled and cut past standing fielders.Not to be outdone, Gary Kirsten helped himself to an undefeated 52 from 63balls with nine fours. But for most of the 83 minutes of the innings he was content to let Gibbs do the bulk of the scoring as he punished anything lose.The Kenyan innings started poorly, with three wickets lost in the first nineovers as Shaun Pollock again caused trouble for the batsmen. His first and only spell rewarded him with 2/15 in six overs, while Makahaya Ntini backed up his captain with 1/14 in his seven-over opening spell.Lance Klusener was made Man of the Match after taking 4/16 in eight overs by continually mixing up his pace. He was involved in the run out of Ravindu Shah, who had been the sole contributor to the Kenyan innings.The two run-outs were totally unnecessary, and some poor shot selection was theother cause of Kenya’s downfall. Seven wickets went to catches, and a more conservative approach might have seen them post a more competitive total.For South Africa it was a clinical performance, and one they can build on as they progress in the tournament.

Keith Parsons, who has played such a major part in Somerset’s successful run in the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy over the past two years is now back in full training at the County Ground and looking forward to the new season.When I caught up with him during a break from his practice he told me: "Things are going really well for me at the moment which is very pleasing. After struggling with my knee for much of last season and then having my operation in the autumn it feels good to be back in full training.""I’m working hard on my batting in the nets and trying to improve my footwork to give myself a little more time. I start bowling again in the next few days and I am hoping that the orthotic insoles that I have started to wear will help me," he told me.The popular all rounder who will be thirty in May has been a vital part of the Cidermen’s success in the premier one day competition, which saw them lift the C and G Trophy in 2001 to break the eighteen year trophy famine.Last season, despite being relegated in both the County Championship and the National League Parsons was the leading run scorer at the club in one day cricket and his contributions with both bat and ball helped to get the side through to the C and G final at Lord’s again, where on the day they were disappointingly beaten by Yorkshire.What was he hoping for in 2003 I asked. " Obviously for the team we have got to be looking to get promotion and there is no reason why we shouldn’t be able to achieve that. Promotion is a new challenge for many of us and on paper we should be good enough to achieve it in both competitions."He continued: "For myself, in one day cricket I want to continue in the way that I have over the last few seasons where I have done pretty well to help us to win matches. If I look back there haven’t been many games where I haven’t scored at least 30 or 40 runs and taken wickets. If we win games and I have contributed then I will be happy."What about the championship I asked. "I suppose last season that I averaged a few less than I would have liked but I still feel confident that I can do a job for Somerset batting at number five, bowling and taking wickets and getting my catches in the slips. Last season I scored most runs in one day cricket so this season I’d like to be the leading run scorer in the four day game," he told me

The Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) is set to lose another two days of gate receipts.That’s because the island’s champion cricketers are on the verge of completing a fifth comprehensive victory well inside the distance after Sherwin Campbell’s second century of the season and two exceptional catches late in the day.After the second day of their final round preliminary Carib Beer Series match against West Indies "B", very few expect this no-contest to go past lunch today.With that in mind, hardly anyone will come to Kensington Oval today. Even if they do, the BCA might very well decide not to charge admission in light of the limited play expected.Bottom-of-the-table West Indies "B", facing a big first innings deficit of 238 against the newly-crowned Cup champs, closed the second day on 181 for six, a position that was beefed up by an enterprising sixth wicket partnership of 82 between their two leading batsmen this season, Aneil Kanhai and Carlton Baugh.These two responded to a collapse with a series of bold strokes, but the buzz around the ground in the evening session was generated mainly by sensational one-handed catches in the gully by Dwayne Smith and Sulieman Benn, respectively, in the space of five minutes.In both cases, the ball was travelling and both fielders stretched out their left hands to haul in the catches.There was an equally, stupendous catch by wicket-keeper Courtney Browne, but after Barbados claimed four wickets for 36, Kanhai and Baugh played freely, especially against Tino Best.After Best delivered a shoulder-high full toss to Denzil James, he responded by despatching Narsingh Deonarine in the same over with the help of Browne’s catch, but was then roughed up by Kanhai and Baugh to the extent that his eight overs cost him 66.Baugh made a run-a-ball 47, while the left-handed Kanhai fell just before the close for the same score off 68 balls when he edged Ryan Hurley to slip.While Campbell kept Barbados’ innings together in the morning session with his 25th first-class hundred and ninth at the regional level, there was an equally impressive five-wicket performance from hometown fast bowler Jason Bennett.Campbell’s 135 off 238 balls was solid and was also punctuated by some powerful strokes through the off-side that were responsible for most of his 18 fours.His contribution was all the more important after Bennett made inroads into Barbados’ batting.In ten successive overs from the Joel Garner End, the bustling Bennett adhered to a line a trifle outside off stump and bowled a decent three-quarter length that made it difficult to get after him.After removing Philo Wallace and Ryan Hinds in another impressive ten-over spell the previous evening, Bennett added the scalps of Floyd Reifer, Dwayne Smith and Ryan Hurley in the first hour-and-a-half of the day.The left-handed Reifer had not yet added to his overnight 57 when Bennett bowled him off the glove in the second over of the morning.Smith never looked comfortable against Bennett and it was no surprise when he nibbled a ball outside the off stump and edged a catch that was taken low down by little wicket-keeper Carlton Baugh.After his crucial half-century against Leeward Islands last weekend, Ryan Hurley earned a promotion coming in ahead of captain Courtney Browne at No. 6, two notches higher than the position he occupied for the last four matches.He promptly lifted his first ball from fast bowler Andrew Richardson for four and added another boundary when he whipped Bennett through backward square.Another exciting innings seemed to be in the making from the busy Hurley, but it never materialised.Rapped low down with a ball of fullish length from Bennett, he was given out lbw, but many fans behind the bowler’s arm were certain the ball would have missed leg stump.Those first three wickets were taken within the first 40 minutes and would have given encouragement to West Indies "B" after Barbados resumed on 155 for two in response to the youngsters’ 115.Barbados consolidated by way of a fifth-wicket partnership of 59 between Campbell and Browne that ended on the stroke of lunch when Browne, in trying to repeat a hook for six off Rayon Thomas, holed out to deep square-leg for 25.By then, Campbell raced to his century with a neat dab to the backward point boundary and continued after lunch in the same rich form before being caught at slip attempting to cut Kanhai’s off-spin.After his dismissal at 292 for seven, the total was helped by a half-century stand between Sulieman Benn (37 not out) and Corey Collymore (20).SCOREBOARD:WEST INDIES "B" 1st Innings 115BARBADOS 1st Innings(overnight 155-2)P.

The former Pakistan Test player MEZ Ghazali died in Karachion April 26. He was 79, and had been ill for some time.

“Ebbu” Ghazali was an offspinning allrounder who played two Tests on Pakistan’s first full tour of England, in 1954. He made 18 and 14 at Trent Bridge, but at Old Trafford bagged a pair inside two hours – the fastest in Test history. In all hescored 601 runs (28.61) and took 17 wickets (39.64) on that tour.He was also a member of the strong Pakistan Eaglets side which toured England theyear before. His highest first-class score was 160, for Services at Karachi in 1953-54, and his best bowling (5 for 28) came the following season against Punjab at Lahore.Mohammad Ebrahim Zainuddin Ghazali was born in Gujarat, played for Maharashtra before Partition from India, and served as an administrator after his retirement. He was manager of the Pakistan tour of Australia in 1972-73, by which time he was a wing commander in the Pakistan Air Force.

Yesterday’s Championship reviewNational League Division One
Division One table Gloucestershire v Surrey, Bristol
Scorecard
Match abandoned. Worcestershire 271 for 4 beat Kent 132 by 139 runs
Scorecard
Kent crashed to their fourth defeat in five National League games, thanks to a pounding from Graeme Hick, who made a run-a-ball 108, his 13th century in the competition. Worcestershire’s total of 271 for 4 proved to be well out of Kent’s range. They lost theiropeners in a tight spell by Matt Mason, and David Leatherdalefinished with 5 for 36 with his medium-pacers. The only resistance came from Greg Blewett (25) and Matthew Walker (23) as Kent folded for 132 in 31.5 overs. Yorkshire 153 for 7 lost to Glamorgan 165 for 6
Scorecard
Glamorgan overcame the confusions of a rain-affected run-chase to keep up their 100% record with a fourth-successive victory in the National League. Yorkshire batted first and edged to 153 for 7 in 32 overs, thanks in part to an aggressive 37 from Chris Silverwood, sent in for quick runs at the top of the order. The specialist batsmen found the going rather tougher, with Yuvraj Singh making 34 from 53 deliveries. Glamorgan’s adjusted target seemed a long way off when Silverwood ripped out both openers with six runs on the board, but Michael Powell and Matthew Maynard kept them on course with a 76-run stand for the third wicket, Silverwood finished with 4 for 45, but Mark Wallace and Mike Kasprowicz sealed the match with a volley of boundaries.National League Division Two
Division Two table Scotland 192 for 8 beat Lancashire 151 by 41 runs
Scorecard
Scotland continued their astonishing run of form in their debut season in the National League, as Lancashire became the third county side – after Durham and Somerset – to suffer an upset. Lancashire were missing the likes of James Anderson and Andrew Flintoff, but still started firm favourites with Stuart Law and Carl Hooper in their ranks. That feeling had been strengthened by the time Scotland had grafted to 192 for 8, thanks to a pair of 60s from Greig Williamson and Colin Smith. In reply, Lancashire had been cruising at 61 for 1, but when Mal Loye fell for 38, the innings went badly awry. Hooper was run out for 2, and Law and Glenn Chapple were dismissed in the same over by Craig Wright, as Lancashire floundered to 92 for 6. Peter Martin hoofed an unbeaten 29, but he ran out of support as Scotland pulled into second place behind Northamptonshire. Durham v Derbyshire, Chester-le-Street
Scorecard
Match abandoned. Hampshire 248 for 3 beat Somerset 149 by 99 runs
Scorecard
Hampshire gained swift revenge for their four-wicket defeat in the Championship on Saturday when they cruised to a 99-run victory at the Rose Bowl, Somerset’s fourth defeat in five National League matches. Derek Kenway led the rout with 115, to add to his 94 on Friday, and he was given excellent support by John Crawley (66) and Simon Katich (51 not out off 49 balls.) Somerset were never in the hunt, as Allan Mullally opened with a miserly spell and Dmitri Mascarenhas picked up four wickets. Jamie Cox and Rob Turner top-scored with 27, as Somerset crumbled to 149. Middlesex 200 for 7 lost to Northamptonshire 204 for 2 by eight wickets
Scorecard
Northamptonshire put their poor first-class form behind them and reinforced their position at the top of the National League Division Two. Middlesex had also been unbeaten going into the match, but they were always up against it after struggling to 200 for 7 in their 45 overs. Middlesex floundered at the start and finish of their innings, but a pair of half-centuries from Ed Joyce and David Nash, and a quickfire 38 from Simon Cook gave them hope after Mike Cawdron’s tight spell of bowling (9-3-22-2). But David Sales and Mike Hussey devoured the target with an unbeaten 142-run partnership for the fourth wicket, cracking eight fours each to win with three balls to spare. Sussex 258 for 6 beat Nottinghamshire 150 by 97 runs
Scorecard
Sussex continued their barren run, as Usman Afzaal and Chris Cairns carried Nottinghamshire to an impregnable 258 for 6 in a rain-affected match. Afzaal cracked seven fours and a six in his 83, but it was Cairns – on his return from international duty – who really caught the eye, cracking 53 not out from just 36 balls, with six fours and two sixes. Rain caused a recalculation of Sussex’s target, but it was academic as they slumped to 80 for 7, with Gareth Clough picking up 4 for 32

A thoroughly proficient performance from the Hampshire Academy ended in victory over Portsmouth by the healthy margin of 130 runs at the Rose Bowl; earning the young Hawks maximum points, consolidating fifth position in the table and pleasing both Manager Tony Middleton and Captain Giles White.Still unbeaten for the season at the toss, the Academy took first use of the pitch on the Rose Bowl’s debut in Southern League “time” cricket. The Academy started off at a good tempo but lost some unnecessary wickets, being in some trouble at 100-5 forty five minutes before lunch. However, sensible batting from the immaculate Jimmy Adams (a chanceless 111 in 166 balls, 2 sixes, 10 fours) and the prudent Ian Hilsum (78 not out in 119 balls, 11 fours) rescued the situation as the former Hampshire colts put on 157 for the sixth wicket. 92 came in the last 12 overs, enabling Giles White to declare. Portsmouth tried eight bowlers in an attempt to stem the run flow and their over-rate was tremendous.Chasing a target of 276 to win in a minimum of 58 overs, Portsmouth were never in the hunt, struggling to 69-5 against the bowling of David Griffiths, Luke Merry, the unlucky Matt Metcalfe and Hilsum. However, a stubborn sixth wicket stand of 63 between Hampshire old boy Lee Savident (44) and Hampshire Under 19 all-rounder Naqeeb Ali Mohamed raised hopes of Portsmouth securing a losing draw. But a collapse which saw the last five wickets fall for 13 runs in 5.2 overs against the off spin of Mitchell Stokes and the left arm in-swing of the returning Luke Merry put paid to any ideas Portsmouth may have had in that direction; Hampshire securing outright victory with 10.1 overs to spare.

All Today’s Yesterdays – July 18 down the yearsJuly 17| July 191848
Birth of the most famous cricketer of them all. WG Grace – better known as “The Doctor”, “The Champion” or just “WG” – was a pioneer of the game. He was a magnificent allrounder: a dashing batsman, a cunning, round-arm slow-medium bowler, and owner of the most famous beard in sport. Grace was a walking first: first two triple-centuries in first-class cricket, in 1876, first to make 2000 first-class runs in a season (2739 in 1871), first to 1000 runs in May (1895), first (and probably only) man to replace the bails after being bowled and carry on his innings, first to 50,000 first-class runs, first to 100 hundreds, first Test century in England, and first Englishman to make a century on debut. Those last two were at The Oval in 1880, when he slammed 152 against Australia. His other Test century came against the Aussies at The Oval too, 170 in 1886. Grace captained England in the last 13 of his 22 Tests. He also made 400 for United South against Grimsby on the day his second child was born. He died in 1915, after suffering a heart attack during an air raid in Kent.1949
Dennis Keith Lillee is born. After recovering from back problems so bad that many expected him not to play again, he became one of the greatest bowlers in history, with a magnificently athletic action and an attitude Dirty Harry would have approved of. Lillee loved to get rough – he had an unedifying stand-off with Javed Miandad at Perth in 1981-82 after aiming a kick. He and Jeff Thomson were the nastiest pair of gangsters ever to take the new ball, and they left horses’ heads in many an English bed during a torrid Ashes series in 1974-75. And Lillee was an example to all bowlers of how to cope with advancing years. For him there was no midlife crisis; after Packer, he simply substituted craft for pace, brain for brawn, and offered batsmen a different but every bit as fearsome an examination. Oddly, he took more Test ten-fors (7) than he did wickets outside England and Australasia (6). Lillee could bat too – he rolled up his sleeves and almost saw Australia over the line at Headingley in 1981, when he and Rod Marsh infamously bet on England at 500-1 – although his attempt to use an aluminium bat in a Test wasn’t his brightest idea. He was the leading Test wicket-taker when he retired, with 355, and now runs a fast-bowling clinic in Madras.1981
The traditional Saturday-night mid-Headingley Test barbecue at Ian Botham’s house in Yorkshire, but never had the mood of the two teams been so contrasting. Australia were all over England at Headingley and set to go 2-0 up in the series. Botham said England “were about as low as you could get”, while Bob Willis described the mood as one of “black comedy”. England, having been forced to follow on 227 behind Australia, were 6 for 1 in their second innings, the odds on them winning lengthening all the time …1972
Only ten men have ever scored a hundred and taken a hat-trick in afirst-class match, and Mike Procter is the only man to have to done it twice. He did it for the first time taking 8 for 73 in the match and cracking 51 and 102 for Gloucestershire against Essex at Westcliff-on-Sea. It was an all-lbw hat-trick, too, and all from around the wicket.1893
It’s a slightly odd stat that only three men have ever made a century at Lord’s on their Test debut: Sourav Ganguly, John Hampshire … and Harry Graham, who did so for Australia on this day. Having come to the crease at 75 for 5, “The Little Dasher” cracked 107 to help Australia to a draw. He was also the only Aussie to make a century on Test debut in England until Dirk Wellham in 1981.1927
Chris Harris’s dad is born. Zin Harris, a right-hander, unlike his son, played nine Tests over a period of nine years, making his only century against South Africa at Cape Town in 1961-62. He died in his native Christchurch in December 1991, a few months before his son starred in the World Cup.Other birthdays

In my 29 years with Hampshire, I still cannot understand the vagaries of this game of cricket. Yesterday at the end of the second day the doldrums had set in at the Rose Bowl. Today after a delayed start due to overnight rain, Hampshire Cricket lifted its head and set about recovering this match that sees them with a chance of a win despite having to follow on. Memories of 1922 perhaps?Still requiring 138 more runs to avoid an innings defeat with 6 wickets remaining it was Nic Pothas who rallied, despite having to have a runner for much of his innings having pulled a hamstring just after lunch, he recorded his second century of the season and his 9th overall in a sparkling display of stroke play and sound defence.He had an ally before lunch in John Francis and together they shared an 80 run partnership. When Francis fell edging Alex Wharf to the wicket-keeper, Dimitri Mascarenhas took up the mantle. Mascarenhas had already made a century against the Welsh county at the start of the season, and he in turn splayed the tiring bowlers to all parts. That partnership of 149 took Hampshire into the lead. Pothas finally went for 121.Richard Hindley the 28 year old, Havant all-rounder playing in his first first-class match also joined in the fun, he put on a half century stand with Dimmi, and recorded an important 68 not out, showing much bravery to the hands of Michael Kasprowicz.Finally all out for 449, Robert Croft bowled a long spell taking 5 for 117, and Kasprowicz finished with three wickets for his toil.Set a surprising 198 for victory, and 12 overs left of the third day, Glamorgan lost both openers caught in the gully by skipper John Crawley off the bowling of Chris Tremlett, then James Bruce uprooted wicket-keeper Mark Wallace’s stumps in the last over of the day, to set up an intriguing last day.

Makhaya Ntini has climbed four places to 6th in the PwC Ratings, after demolishing England at Lord’s with match figures of 10 for 220, while his captain, Graeme Smith, has leapt seven places to 12th in the batting stakes. Smith, who has yet to qualify for a full rating because he is a relative newcomer to Test cricket, has every chance of breaking into the top ten before the end of the series, after picking up 621 runs in his first three innings alone.It is the highest rating yet achieved by both Ntini and Smith, although not all the South Africans have been upwardly mobile this week. Shaun Pollock has slipped back to second spot in the bowling, after his mauling from Andrew Flintoff on the final day, although he is a single point behind the new leader, Muttiah Muralitharan.Flintoff himself has jumped 18 places after his brutal 142 from 146 balls, although he is way down the list at No. 61. England, however, still have six batsmen in the top 30, including Michael Vaughan at No. 3, and Graham Thorpe – who may be back in the side by the time the third Test starts at Trent Bridge next week.England’s bowlers have all slipped in the ratings. The most significant mover is Darren Gough, who is now out of the top 20 and at his lowest rating for six years.
