India clinch first Test nail-biter to<br />
end 10-year win drought in Australia<br />
DR<br />
ADELAIDE: India won<br />
their first Test on<br />
Australian soil in a decade<br />
Monday, bowling out the<br />
home side in a nail-biting<br />
finale to clinch the opening<br />
match of the series at<br />
Adelaide Oval with<br />
Rishabh Pant equalling a<br />
world-record along the<br />
way.<br />
The hosts were set an<br />
improbable target of 323,<br />
which would have been a<br />
record run chase at the<br />
ground but gallantly battled<br />
to 291 before Josh<br />
Hazlewood became the last<br />
man to fall to<br />
Ravichandran Ashwin,<br />
who finished with 3-92.<br />
Shaun Marsh made 62 and<br />
Tim Paine 41.<br />
Wicketkeeper Pant<br />
made history by matching<br />
the record <strong>11</strong> catches in a<br />
Test currently held by<br />
ISLAMABAD: Skipper<br />
Mashrafe Mortaza and<br />
Mustafizur Rahman took<br />
three wickets each Sunday<br />
as Bangladesh restricted<br />
West Indies to 195-9 in the<br />
first one-day international<br />
in Dhaka.<br />
West Indies won the<br />
England´s Jack Russell and<br />
South Africa´s AB de<br />
Villiers.<br />
In doing so, he beat the<br />
record 10 catches in a<br />
game by an Indian that was<br />
previously held by<br />
Wriddhiman Saha.<br />
It was a huge breakthrough<br />
for Virat Kohli´s<br />
toss at the Sher-e-Bangla<br />
National Stadium and batted<br />
first on a slow pitch.<br />
The visitors were<br />
reduced to 127-6 after 40<br />
overs despite opener Shai<br />
Hope making 43 off 59<br />
balls.<br />
Roston Chase, who<br />
men, with Australia always<br />
proving a tough hunting<br />
ground.<br />
The last Test they won<br />
in Australia was at the<br />
WACA Ground in Perth in<br />
2008, and the last one in<br />
Adelaide was 2003, with<br />
just six victories now in<br />
more than 70 years -- and<br />
made 32, put on a partnership<br />
worth 51 runs with<br />
Keemo Paul for the seventh<br />
wicket to give West<br />
Indies some momentum.<br />
Paul made 36 off 28<br />
balls with two sixes and a<br />
four before he was dismissed<br />
by Mustafizur in<br />
never one in the first match<br />
of a series Down Under.<br />
Another blot on Indian<br />
cricket history is that they<br />
have never won a series in<br />
Australia.<br />
But with the home team<br />
missing the banned Steve<br />
Smith and David Warner,<br />
Kohli and his team sensed<br />

‘PCB constitution will be<br />
altered to create CEO post’<br />
KARACHI: Pakistan<br />
Cricket Board PCB) chairman<br />
Ehsan Mani said<br />
changes will be made to the<br />
board’s constitution to create<br />
a new chief executive<br />
position.<br />
Mani said the change,<br />
when formally made, will<br />
enable the incoming managing<br />
director Wasim Khan<br />
to become the CEO of the<br />
board.<br />
“The PCB is the only<br />
[cricket] board in the world<br />
which has no chief executive.<br />
We will bring changes<br />
in our constitution to create<br />
a new position and then the<br />
managing director will be<br />
called the chief executive<br />
officer, like it happens<br />
everywhere else,” Mani<br />
told reporters at the<br />
National Stadium.<br />
Wasim, currently serving<br />
as the Leicestershire<br />
County Cricket Club chief<br />
executive, was announced<br />
as the new managing director<br />
of the PCB on Thursday.<br />
“The responsibilities of<br />
a chairman are different<br />
from that of a CEO,” said<br />
Mani. “The managing<br />
director’s duty will be to<br />
run the day-to-day affairs<br />
of the board.”<br />
Constitutionally, Mani<br />
will retain significant powers<br />
within the PCB hierarchy,<br />
but Wasim is expected<br />
to take a leading role in the<br />
board’s corporate governance<br />
framework, working<br />
with the PCB’s board-ofgovernors<br />
committees and<br />
also work for the improvement<br />
of domestic cricket.<br />
Outgoing International<br />
Cricket Council head of<br />
media and communications<br />
Sami-ul-Hasan was also<br />
appointed at the same post<br />
by the PCB on Saturday.<br />
Mani said the appointment<br />
shows PCB’s intent to get<br />
more ‘professionalised’.<br />
“If two people who had<br />
been working in good positions<br />
abroad are willing to<br />
come to Pakistan, it’s a<br />
great sign and the PCB<br />
deserves credit for it,” said<br />
the PCB chief.<br />
the final over of the<br />
innings.<br />
Left-arm pacer<br />
Mustafizur finished with<br />
3-35 after fellow fast<br />
bowler Mashrafe grabbed<br />
3-30 playing his 200th<br />
ODI -- the first<br />
Bangladeshi to do so.<br />
Batsmen must<br />
take responsibility,<br />
says Sarfraz<br />
KARACHI: The embattled<br />
Pakistan captain Sarfraz<br />
Ahmed wants his batsmen to<br />
take responsibility during the<br />
upcoming tough tour of<br />
South Africa.<br />
Talking on the sidelines<br />
of a book launching of a senior<br />
sports journalist, Sarfraz<br />
said on Sunday: “We batted<br />
extremely poorly in the<br />
series against New Zealand<br />
and paid heavily for it. The<br />
batsmen have to take responsibility<br />
and play long innings<br />
in the South Africa series.<br />
This is one big issue that<br />
constantly troubled us in the<br />
10 Test matches Pakistan<br />
have played since the retirement<br />
of Younis [Khan] and<br />
Misbah [-ul-Haq].”<br />
The wicket-keeper/batsman<br />
said the tour of South<br />
Africa would be very<br />
demanding and that Pakistan<br />
have to improve their performance<br />
drastically to challenge<br />
the Proteas. “We did<br />
mistakes against New<br />
Zealand and they were lot of<br />
them. But on the upcoming<br />
tour we’ll try to avoid them<br />
and play positive cricket<br />
against South Africa.”<br />
Sarfraz lamented that<br />
whenever Pakistan lost, the<br />
captain was held responsible<br />
for it. When we win people<br />
usually say Pakistan played<br />
brilliantly but when the team<br />
loses the same people start<br />
blaming the captain.<br />

shifting the odds heavily in<br />
India´s favour.<br />
Marsh and Travis Head<br />
had started cautiously,<br />
grinding out <strong>11</strong> runs in the<br />
opening seven overs before<br />
seamer Ishant Sharma<br />
struck with the score on<br />

that caught Head´s bat as<br />
he tried to fend it off and<br />

catch at gully.<br />
Ozil breaks<br />
with Arsenal<br />
and flies to Inter<br />
NEW YORK: The<br />
adventure of Mesut Ozil at<br />
Arsenal has now reached<br />
the end credits. According<br />
to reports from The Sun, the<br />
London club is not satisfied<br />
with the performance of the<br />
player, who arrived in the<br />
summer of 2013 from Real<br />
Madrid, and would be ready<br />
to sell him in the January<br />
session for just under 28<br />
million euro.<br />
The German player, not<br />
convened in the last two<br />
challenges, would risk staying<br />
out for about two<br />
months because of a back<br />
problem due to the posture<br />
that assumes in front of<br />
video games. Another piece<br />
that would have convinced<br />
the leadership of the<br />
Gunners to get rid of him.<br />
According to the tabloid,<br />
among the pretenders to the<br />
German in the first row<br />
there would be Inter.<br />

The two sides have<br />

fashion. quite a few times<br />
While Green-Shirts<br />
sneaked in with only one<br />
point from the three pool<br />
games, edging out<br />
Malaysia on goal difference.<br />
The Red Lions were<br />
unlucky not to qualify for<br />
the quarter finals directly,<br />
missing out only on goal<br />
difference. Belgium had<br />
won two and drew one<br />
with India, who topped<br />
the pool because of the<br />
better goal difference.<br />
