West Indies boosted by Taylor, Sarwan return

ST JOHN”S: West Indies” hopes of lifting the World Twenty20 title on home soil were boosted on Thursday when pace bowler Jerome Taylor and batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan were both named in the 15-man squad.

Taylor and Sarwan missed the recent one-day series win over Zimbabwe through injuries picked up on the tour of Australia.

The team, which is captained by Chris Gayle, are in Group D in the first stage of the April 30-May 16 tournament, along with England and Ireland.

“We are confident our players will deliver on the home stage. If we play as a unit we have a very good chance of winning the tournament,” said chairman of selectors Clyde Butts.

“We have Chris Gayle at the top of the order and he can be a match-winner. It is also good to have our experienced players in the middle-order – Shiv Chanderpaul and Ramnaresh Sarwan – and this gives us strength in the batting.

“Wavell Hinds has been recalled and he brings a wealth of experience. He is a knowledgeable cricketer and we believe can make a good contribution in the middle-order as well.

“Dwayne Bravo is one of the leading all-rounders in world cricket and he is the key man with bat and ball. We are happy to have Jerome Taylor back in the bowling department and this is a big plus. I also believe Sulieman Benn will play a major role with the ball.”

West Indies squad:

Chris Gayle (capt), Sulieman Benn, Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Andre Fletcher, Wavell Hinds, Nikita Miller, Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Darren Sammy, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Jerome Taylor

Australia Beat West Indies In T20

Australia completed a memorable unbeaten home series of internationals against Pakistan and West Indies with another consummate victory on Tuesday.
Openers David Warner (67 from 29 balls) and Shane Watson (62 not out off 33) easily reached their target of 139 in their final Twenty20 international. West Indies were restricted to 138-7 in Sydney, and Australia needed just 11.4 overs to secure an eight-wicket win. All-rounder Daniel Christian, 26, took 2-29 on his senior Australia debut.
The right-arm seamer, who is the second player of Aboriginal heritage to play for Australia in the modern era after Jason Gillespie, also had the honour of hitting the winning boundary.
Australia’s bowling attack, featuring five seamers plus the spin option of Steve Smith, looked set to bowl the tourists out for barely 100 when Denesh Ramdin was caught behind off Shaun Tait in the 17th over to make it 98-7.
Narsingh Deonarine (36 not out) and Darren Sammy (26 not out) injected some much-needed acceleration over the last three overs, but the target was not nearly enough to cause the confident home team any headaches at all.
Openers Chris Gayle (12) and Travis Dowlin (31) were the only other Windies players to reach double figures. But in Australia’s reply, Warner hit seven sixes in a brutal display of hitting as he and Watson put on 99 in the first 7.4 overs of the run chase – from which there could be only one result. Paceman Kemar Roach endured a particularly bruising experience, with his two overs costing 33 runs.
Constantly on the go since 26 November, Australia have recorded 17 wins, a draw and a no-result in their 19 matches against West Indies and Pakistan as their post-Ashes renaissance continues to show no signs of ceasing. But Twenty20 captain Michael Clarke warned they would not be overdoing the celebrations.

Asif bowls Pak back in the game

Pakistan have New Zealand reeling at 147 for 8 at stumps on Day 4 in their second innings with Mohammad Asif picking up four wickets. New Zealand still have a slight edge over Pakistan in winning the Test match with a lead of 244 and two wickets in hand. Weather conditions will play a crucial role in deciding the result of the game, it had his toll even on the fourth day with rain and bad light eating off crucial time.

The visitors stretched their first innings total to 332 from an overnight score of 307 for 8 which cut the New Zealand lead to 97 runs. In their second innings, Mohammad Aamer came up with another first over dismissal, this time removing Martin Guptill in the fourth ball. In the 3rd over, Asif provided the double break with Flynn getting out lbw for a duck as well.

New Zealand recovered from 0 for 2 to 68 for 2 at lunch with Ross Taylor batting fluently on 48. Pakistan after lunch shot back with quick wickets to turn the match on its head. Five wickets went down in a hurry at the addition of just 36 runs. Khurram Manzoor initiated the downfall for the Kiwis with a direct throw to run out Ross Taylor (59 from 83 balls with 7 fours and a six). Peter Fulton and Brendon McCullum were out for 0 to make it four ducks in this Kiwi innings! First innings hero Daniel Vettori was dismissed by Asif cheaply.

The Kiwis still have Grant Elliott batting on 20 along with Iain O’Brien who is not a bad tailender at all. Pakistan have certainly got back into the match through their bowlers but now its all upto their top order to come good and seize the moment provided the weather holds good. Asif had a rich haul of 4 for 41 in 17.5 overs to follow up with his 4 for 108 in the first innings. Aamer complemented him with a couple of wickets.
