Stuart Binny has said that few get the opportunity to play a match-saving innings on Test debut, and that he was pleased to have done so for India at Trent Bridge

ESPNcricinfo staff14-Jul-2014Stuart Binny has said that few get the opportunity to play a match-saving innings on Test debut, and that he was pleased to have done so for India at Trent Bridge. Binny came in when India were struggling at 184 for 6 in their second innings on the final day and batted for nearly three hours to make 78 and help his side draw the match.Binny had gone for 1 in the first innings playing an airy drive and was eager to make up for it. “I was a bit disappointed with the way it went in the first innings,” Binny told . “I did the hard work for the first 10-15 minutes – which is the most crucial phase for a batsman – and then played a loose shot to get out. So I just wanted to go in there and spend as much time in the middle as I could. The ball was reversing and the wicket started doing a bit especially with the new ball.”There are not many players who get a chance to save the Test for their country on their debut. I did and I am really happy that I took it.”In an England first innings that stretched for 144.5 overs, Binny bowled just ten wicketless overs. He said he was determined to make an impact in the match thereafter. “The wicket didn’t suit my style of bowling and I had to understand and accept that quickly. I was told that a Test match lasts five days so I will be required to play a part at some point.”So, I went in to bat with a very positive mindset. I knew that if I survived the first 30 minutes, the wicket would ease out. I went with the mindset of playing out balls instead of scoring runs. When you get to 25, that’s when you realize, okay, a Test fifty is here for the taking.”England were generating some reverse swing but Binny said he was used to tackling such movement when he plays for Karnataka. “I normally bat at No. 6 for Karnataka and so I tend to play a lot of reverse swing. I just used all my experience of batting for my state when we were under the pump, and in India the reverse swing comes into picture all the time. I tried to do what I do there – clearing the left leg and looking to hit a lot straighter.”Binny’s selection was talked about leading into the Test but India found little use for his medium pace on the placid Trent Bridge pitch. While he called it a “funny wicket” Binny did not think India had misread the surface. “It was a hard wicket but there wasn’t much bounce. Even the English guys were surprised at how it played out. When we were batting, it felt like we were batting in India. It was a funny wicket.”Binny said he was not aware that he had fallen five short of his father Roger Binny’s highest Test score of 83. “I didn’t know about it. When I went back to the change room, it was pointed out to me. Hopefully, there are many more Test matches to go for me and I will be able to overhaul his score.”

Big picture

Things couldn’t be tighter in Group 1, where the big four sides have cancelled each other out in a neat little cycle: New Zealand beat England beat Sri Lanka beat South Africa beat New Zealand. With little to separate the sides, net run-rate could become exceedingly important. But before that can happen, two more teams have to get past Netherlands.Sri Lanka cleared that hurdle with ridiculous ease; South Africa nearly tripped themselves up. Which Netherlands are New Zealand going to draw? The Netherlands who froze in the glare of Sri Lanka’s headlights or the Netherlands who, according to their captain Peter Borren, should have beaten South Africa “pretty comfortably” if they had played “anywhere near 100 per cent”?”The way the Dutch are playing, I think it’s incredibly courageous, rocks or diamonds, so to speak,” New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum said. “They’re either going to come off or they’re not. It takes balls to play like that, and it’s why they’re a dangerous team to play against.Kane Williamson has been in sparkling form for New Zealand•AFP

“They don’t fear the losing side of things or if it doesn’t work out, playing that style, so we’ve prepared well today and we’ll see what we come up with tomorrow. Hopefully, if we play well, we should be strong enough for them.”On Thursday, South Africa played some casual shots, promoted an allrounder who has been in and out of the team ahead of their most in-form batsman, lost their way in the middle and late overs, and put themselves in a position where defeat seemed imminent.In short, they showed New Zealand how not to approach this match. New Zealand will want to win, win big, and raise their net run-rate, but they won’t want to start the match with that outcome foremost in their minds. To use a couple of clichés, they will need to focus on the processes and play it one ball at a time.

Watch out for

After Thursday’s game, New Zealand are likely to view Netherlands with vigilance, and look to iron out any casualness from their play. In the other two formats, this should be enough for the gulf in quality and experience between the two sides to shine through. In T20, even one player can have a disproportionate influence on the result. For Netherlands, that player is Stephan Myburgh. Their batting fortunes could well revolve around how long he stays at the crease.One of New Zealand’s interesting strategies at this tournament has been their choice of Kane Williamson as opener. Williamson isn’t the first name that will spring to mind when you’re asked to name a dangerous Twenty20 player, but he’s shown great form so far, scoring an important quickfire 24 in the rain-interrupted chase against England and a career-best 35-ball 51 that set his team up nicely to go after a big target against South Africa.

Team news

New Zealand will go into the game having enjoyed a four-day break. There is no news of any fitness concerns in their camp, but they might want to think of a couple of names that haven’t featured on their team-sheets so far. Their bowling attack is heavily seam-oriented, and while that makes sense considering the likelihood of dew in case they field second, they lose out on variety if they need to change things around. With this in mind, they might think of including left-arm spinner Ronnie Hira or spin-bowling allrounder Anton Devcich. Jimmy Neesham is another option, if they want another seam-bowling allrounder in place of a specialist batsman in Colin Munro.New Zealand: (likely) 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Kane Williamson, 3 Brendon McCullum (capt), 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Colin Munro/Jimmy Neesham, 6 Corey Anderson, 7 Luke Ronchi (wk), 8 Nathan McCullum, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Kyle Mills, 11 Mitchell McClenaghanNetherlands have been unchanged throughout the tournament, and it’s unlikely they’ll make a change now, after their performance against South Africa.
Netherlands: (likely) 1 Stephan Myburgh, 2 Michael Swart, 3 Wesley Barresi (wkt), 4 Tom Cooper, 5 Peter Borren (capt), 6 Ben Cooper, 7 Mudassar Bukhari, 8 Logan van Beek, 9 Pieter Seelaar, 10 Timm van der Gugten, 11 Ahsan Malik

Stats and trivia

• Brendon McCullum needs 21 runs to become the first batsman to score 2000 runs in T20 internationals.
• Ahsan Malik is the highest wicket-taker in T20Is in 2013-14. He has 18 wickets at an average of 11.05, and has an impressive economy rate of 6.45 this season.

Quotes

“We had our chances and we didn’t take them, so philosophically, so be it, we can’t be too upset about it. We got ourselves in a very strong position to win that game, and the percentages were firmly in our favour and we coughed up that opportunity, so that’s disappointing, but we can’t do anything about it now, so we’ve got to focus on what’s in front of us, that’s Netherlands tomorrow and Sri Lanka a few days after.”
“We just really want to get a win or an upset at this tournament. We had a really good opportunity today [against South Africa], we’ve got two more opportunities and I really hope we can take one of those.”

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsLendl Simmons’ 42 helped Guyana Amazon Warriors reach a competitive total•Getty Images

A disciplined bowling performance by the Guyana Amazon Warriors, led by left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul’s 3 for 32, helped them win their opening match of the inaugural Caribbean Premier League against Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel by 19 runs in Providence.T&T won the toss and put Guyana in to bat, but they couldn’t contain the Guyanese openers Lendl Simmons and Martin Guptill who added 74 runs for the first wicket. The partnership was eventually broken by Samuel Badree when he got Guptill leg before for 32.With the score at 102 for 2, Simmons had helped Guyana set a platform for a big finish. T&T captain Dwayne Bravo, however, thwarted those plans with two wickets in the 16th over, accounting for Simmons (42) and Christopher Barnwell, who fell for a second ball-duck. Narsingh Deonarine was dismissed in the next over to leave Guyana at 106 for 5. Late fireworks from Ramnaresh Sarwan, who struck 21 off 12 balls, and James Franklin, who scored a 20-ball 26, ensured Guyana reached a competitive total of 155 for 5.T&T’s innings started steadily, as the openers had added 28 runs before Hafeez fell in the sixth over. Justin Guillen (22) and Darren Bravo (23) got starts, but were unable to guide the chase. Permaul, who came in to bowl in the ninth over, had immediate success, dismissing Davy Jacobs off the sixth ball of his first over. Ross Taylor’s dismissal in Permaul’s next over had T&T struggling at 50 for 3, with 106 needed off 57 balls.Wicketkeeper Nicolas Pooran, blitzed a 24-ball 54, which included six sixes, to keep T&T’s chase alive. But the wickets of Darren and Dwayne Bravo increased the pressure on Pooran and he perished in the 18th over, holing out to Mohammad Hafeez near long-off. T&T finished their innings at 136 for 9, 19 runs short of the target.

Glenn Querl, the Unicorns’ fast bowler, and Gloucestershire spinner Jack Taylor have been suspended from bowling by the ECB with suspected illegal actions.Both were reported on two separate occasions within a 12-month period and underwent independent analysis on May 20. The reports from the analysis were received by the ECB on May 28 and identified the bowling actions of each player as displaying elbow extension in excess of the permitted 15 degrees.As such, both players have been suspended from bowling immediately and must undergo remedial work on their actions and fresh independent analysis.Querl, 24, is a right-arm seam bowler from Zimbabwe who has played 14 first-class matches for Matabeleland and, having played one-day cricket in England for the Unicorns since 2010, was taken on trial at Hampshire.Querl was called for throwing in January by umpire Russell Tiffin playing for Matabeleland against Mashonaland. But Zimbabwe Cricket does not have the equipment available to test bowlers’ actions and Querl was allowed to play the two remaining Logan Cup matches.But in the first of those, the MidWest opening batsman initially refused to face Querl in the second innings and an anonymous source from the club said: “He should not be allowed to bowl, his action is suspect and his short ball endangers the lives of the batsmen. Our umpires do not have the courage to call him, only one umpire has done so.”Taylor is a 21-year-old offspinner who has come through the Gloucestershire academy and made his first team debut in August 2010. He began the 2013 season as Gloucestershire’s No. 1 slow-bolwer in the County Championship, taking six wickets in four matches.Both bowlers were subject to analysis of their actions that follows the same procedures used by the ICC. This marks a change for ECB testing whose previous analysis, conducted by the school of Sport, Exercise and Health Science at Loughborough University, was not recognised by the ICC.Dr Mark King, a senior lecturer at Loughborough, had previously used a different methodology to the ICC-approved testing at the University of Western Australia. Dr King, in research published in Issue 30 of The Journal of Sports Science, claimed the UWA testing was not as accurate and they had not published a validation of their procedure.

A vitória do Vasco sobre o Fluminense neste sábado, em Brasília, indica uma tendência dos últimos anos: o Cruz-Maltino possui uma grande vantagem em jogos contra o Tricolor. Nos últimos 20 jogos entre os dois, a equipe de São Januário saiu vitoriosa em 12 oportunidades (60% de aproveitamento). O time das Laranjeiras, por sua vez, venceu três partidas, além de cinco empates.

Nesse período, a relação indica que o Vasco, apesar de conviver com muitos problemas internos nos últimos anos, se sobressai nas partidas diante do Fluminense. Dentro do futebol carioca, esse duelo é o que possui uma maior disparidade na balança entre ganhador e perdedor nos últimos anos. Atualmente, a equipe alvinegra carrega uma invencibilidade de sete partidas contra o rival das Laranjeiras.

Dentro do próprio Campeonato Estadual, o Vasco mostrou ser a ‘pedra no sapato’ do Fluminense em duas oportunidades nesse período. Em 2014 e 2018, o Cruz-Maltino eliminou o Tricolor nas semifinais da competição, apesar de ter perdido as duas finais posteriormente. O clube das Laranjeiras, por sua vez, eliminou o rival na semifinal do Estadual de 2017, com um triunfo por 3 a 0.

Apesar da disparidade de números, o Fluminense conquistou uma vitória que, provavelmente, não sai da cabeça dos torcedores. No Campeonato Brasileiro de 2015, o Fluminense venceu o Vasco pelo placar mínimo, graças a um gol de Gerson, atualmente na Fiorentina-ITA, e praticamente acabou com as chances do Cruz-Maltino de permanecer na elite do futebol brasileiro – de fato, o clube seria rebaixado à segunda divisão algumas semanas depois.

South Africa Under-19s held their nerve in another close finish to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series

ESPNcricinfo staff16-Feb-2013
ScorecardSouth Africa Under-19s held their nerve in another close finish to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. England again fell marginally short in their chase, despite a 48-run partnership in less than five overs for the ninth wicket that threatened to snatch them an unlikely victory.Josh Shaw, England’s No. 9, hit a 46-ball 52 but England needed 18 to win off the final over and Shaw was run out trying to get back on strike. The 17-year-old, who also took three wickets during the South Africa innings, helped Jonathan Tattersall lift England from 154 for 7 in the 37th over and continued to carry the fight when Tattersall fell for 83.Early strikes had left England floundering at 51 for 4 in pursuit of 270 and South Africa captain Yaseen Valli took 3 for 33 with his offspin to make further dents in the chase.South Africa had recovered from a tricky position themselves, adding 115 from the last 12 overs, a burst which was to prove crucial. Both scorecards had a very similar shape to them, as Greg Oldfield’s 82 from No. 5 provided the base after they had been 48 for 3 and Jason Smith made a run-a-ball 49 to help trampoline the hosts to an imposing total.

Start time 1530 local (1000 GMT)Will Shahid Afridi stay up the order for Pakistan?•AFPBig Picture
One poor showing, against India no less, has suddenly thrown Pakistan’s World Twenty20 campaign onto far less certain ground than it had occupied solidly since day one of the tournament. Another loss to Australia, the competition’s most assured and dominant team so far, and the Pakistanis will be highly unlikely to make the semi-finals. It is a harsh scenario, but a reflection of the competition’s format, calling for consistent results. The hesitance and doubt evident against India must quickly be shed from the minds and limbs of Pakistan’s cricketers, but the looming possibility of elimination may not aid the return of a state of focus.By contrast, Australia know they do not even need to win to progress, for they will qualify for the semi-finals unless Pakistan can inflict the sort of thrashing George Bailey’s men have commonly dealt out so for, and a similar margin unfolds in India’s match against South Africa. So far led with exceptional poise and power by the irrepressible Shane Watson, the Australians have not had their depth of batting tested. Nevertheless, the likes of Michael Hussey and Cameron White have shown decent touch in their brief stays at the crease, and the confidence of all players has benefited from Watson’s show of strength.These two sides are very familiar with one another, having contested T20 and ODI series in the UAE as a prelude to this event. Australia began that T20 series floundering, and ended it with growing confidence. They have gone up another notch or three since, while Pakistan have been shaken by the India defeat. Mohammad Hafeez’s team will hope to regain the confidence they showed in Dubai, or risk elimination from an event they looked in with a chance to win a few days ago.Form guide(completed matches, most recent first)
Australia WWWWW
Pakistan LWWWLWatch out for The outstanding display by Xavier Doherty on his recall to the team has placed some pressure on Brad Hogg for his spot in the XI, should Australia wish to revert back to a one spinner policy against teams better versed at slow bowling than South Africa. Hogg has bowled tidily enough during the tournament, and offered plenty of energy in the field. But he has only two victims at a cost of 53.50 so far, and will need to provide a greater impact on the wickets column as the tournament reaches its pointy end.

Plenty of chatter has surrounded Mohammad Hafeez’s surprisingly halting display with the bat and in the field against India. While there is some understanding at the occasion getting the better of Hafeez and his team, Pakistan’s captain must show greater steel against Australia in order to push his team to the next phase. Hafeez should be helped by a return to the top of the bowling attack, for his spin has troubled David Warner in the past.Team news Pakistan can either make changes in reaction to the heavy defeat against India or keep faith with the XI that had previously looked so poised at this event.Pakistan (probable): 1 Mohammad Hafeez (capt), 2 Imran Nazir, 3 Nasir Jamshed, 4 Kamran Akmal (wk), 5 Shoaib Malik, 6 Umar Akmal, 7 Shahid Afridi, 8 Umar Gul, 9 Yasir Arafat, 10 Saeed Ajmal, 11 Raza HasanXavier Doherty will be very difficult to drop from Australia’s XI following his exceptional 3 for 20 against South Africa.Australia (probable): 1 David Warner, 2 Shane Watson, 3 Mike Hussey, 4 Cameron White, 5 George Bailey (capt), 6 Glenn Maxwell, 7 Matthew Wade (wk), 8 Brad Hogg, 9 Pat Cummins, 10 Mitchell Starc, 11 Xavier DohertyPitch and conditions As expected, the Premadasa Stadium surface is growing more sluggish and spin friendly with each passing match.
