Bavuma stars on debut as South Africa rout Ireland

Posted:

BENONI (AFP) - Temba Bavuma made a century on his one-day international debut to set up a comfortable 206-run win for South Africa in a one-off one-day international against Ireland at Willowmoore Park on Sunday.Bavuma hit 113 in a total of 354 for five after South Africa were sent in to bat. Ireland were bowled out for 148 in reply.Ireland captain Will Porterfields gamble did not pay off as Bavuma and Quinton de Kock (82) punished the Irish bowling in an opening partnership of 159.Porterfield described his teams performance as disappointing and bemoaned early chances which went astray.JP Duminy and Farhaan Behardien both hit rapid half-centuries to take South Africa to a total that always looked likely to be well beyond Irelands reach.Porterfield was out to Kagiso Rabada without scoring to the second ball of the Ireland innings and the visitors crumbled despite good innings of 40 by Paul Stirling and 41 by Kevin OBrien.Off-spinner Duminy completed a good all-round day by taking a career-best four for 16.Ireland were without experienced batsman Niall OBrien, who slipped in his hotel bathroom on Sunday morning and suffered a head injury.They will play Australia at the same venue on Tuesday before South Africa meet Australia in five one-day internationals, starting at Centurion on Friday.The South African team included three new caps. Bavuma, established as a middle order batsman in the Test side, was given his chance as an opener in the absence of Hashim Amla. All-rounders Andile Phehlukwayo and Dwaine Pretorius were newcomers to international cricket.It was a good outing, said South African captain Faf du Plessis, and all three debutants got into the game. Bavuma, who was dropped on one when he edged Peter Chase to Kevin OBrien at second slip, took advantage of the let-off with a composed innings, reaching his fifty off 54 balls and his century off 110 deliveries. He was out 13 balls later after hitting 13 fours and a six.On a slow pitch, South Africa struggled to increase their scoring rate in the middle overs but Duminy (52 not out) and Behardien (50) gave the innings impetus with a fifth wicket stand of 87 off 40 balls before Behardien was caught on the boundary off the last ball of the innings.

Bangladesh win thriller against Afghanistan

Posted:

DHAKA (AFP) - Paceman Taskin Ahmed made a brilliant comeback to international cricket as he claimed four wickets to steer Bangladesh to pull off a thrilling seven-run win in the first one-day international against Afghanistan in Dhaka on Sunday.Replying to Bangladeshs 265 runs, Afghanistan looked to be well in control when Hashmatullah (72) and Rahmat Shah (71) put on a solid 144 runs for the third wicket partnership.Shakib Al Hasan (2-26) broke the stand before the hosts clawed their way back to dismiss Afghanistan for 258 runs in the last ball of the final over. Bangladesh now lead the three-match series 1-0 lead.Taskin, who was cleared to bowl in international cricket just two days ago, held his nerve in the final over, when Afghanistan needed 13 runs, but the visitors, who lost their last six wickets for 28 runs, could mange just five.Shakibs exploit enabled him overtake Abdur Razzak as Bangladeshs leading wicket taker in one-day internationals (ODIs) with 208 scalps.We knew this game was going to be tricky, said Shakib, who won the man-of-the-match award for his all-round performance.We are playing ODIs after almost a year. We were careful and short by 20 runs, he said.Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah Riyad earlier struck half-centuries to guide Bangladesh to a respectable total after skipper Mortaza won the toss and elected to bat first.The home side, playing their first ODI in 11 months, suffered a blow in the first over when Dawlat Zadran dismissed Soumya Sarkar for a duck, but the top order soon regained the initiative.Tamim struck nine fours in his 80 off 98 balls and in the process became the first Bangladeshi cricketer to score 9,000 runs in international cricket.He put on 83 with Imrul Kayes (37) for the second wicket and then another 79 with Mahmudullah for the third wicket before being removed by Mirwais Ashraf.Mahmudullah smashed 62 off 74 balls and looked poised for a big innings after reaching his half-century with a boundary off Dawlat.Off-spinner Mohammad Nabi removed Mahmudullah, who also struck five fours in his innings, in his next over when Ashraf took a fine catch diving forward at backward square leg.Afghanistan made something of a comeback when Mushfiqur Rahim (six) and Sabbir Rahman (two) fell cheaply. But Shakib ensured Bangladesh did not lose their way with 48 off 40 balls.Last three months we were working hard, but the way we played we were not up to the mark. We could have scored 280-plus, but the set batsmen got out, said Bangladesh skipper Mortaza.Dawlat claimed four wickets for 73 while Nabi and spinner Rashid Khan grabbed two wickets each for Afghanistan.Afghanistan skipper Stanikzai hailed the performance of Bangladeshi bowlers.Congratulations Bangladesh. Their bowlers bowled very well, thats why they won the match, Stanikzai said.The second and third match will be held at the same venue on September 28 and October 1.

India's Ashwin tightens grip on New Zealand

Posted:

KANPUR (AFP) - Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin claimed three wickets to have New Zealand reeling on 93 for four at stumps Sunday as the hosts tightened their grip on the first Test.New Zealand were still 341 runs behind their mammoth target of 434, with Luke Ronchi (38) and Mitchell Santner (8) battling on in Indias 500th Test.The pair put on 37 for the fifth wicket to steady New Zealands innings somewhat after the visitors were reduced to 56 for four.Ronchi, who has hit four fours and one six during his 58-ball stay, played positively to tackle the spinners on a turning track.Ashwin rocked the New Zealand innings in his second over when he sent openers Martin Guptill and Tom Latham trudging back to the pavilion.An unlucky Guptill got an inside edge onto his pads to be dismissed for a duck, with the ball lobbing into the hands of Murali Vijay at short leg.The left-handed Latham, who scored a gritty 58 in the first innings, was trapped lbw for two when playing for the off-break that did not turn.Ashwin then got the prized wicket of captain Kane Williamson for 25, derailing New Zealands chase at Kanpurs Green Park.It was Ashwins 200th Test wicket in his 37th match, making him the second fastest player to the total. Australias Clarrie Grimmett raced to 200 wickets in 36 games.But more than records, Ashwin had victory on his mind as India eyed an early lead in the three-match series.Everybody keeps talking about 13 Tests in this season but for me, its one day at a time. Try to win the Test tomorrow, take a 1-0 lead and take it from there, Ashwin told reporters.Ive always maintained that I compete (with) myself. It might sound cliched to you. If you go out to beat records or catch up with it, it will teach you a lesson, he said.The visitors slipped further when Ross Taylor was run out for 17 by Umesh Yadavs direct throw from deep mid-wicket, which hit the stumps at the non-strikers end.Ronchi and Santner then held the fort until close of play to take the fight into the fifth and final day.I think, like that last partnership towards the end today, weve just got to keep fighting and thats the way we play cricket, we have to fight to the end, New Zealand bowling coach Shane Jurgensen said.India declared their second innings on 377 for five at tea with Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja putting on a 100-run unbeaten partnership for the sixth wicket.The pair played attacking cricket in the second session to put India on top. Jadeja hit two fours and three sixes during his 58-ball knock and Sharma struck eight boundaries for his fifth Test half-century.Cheteshwar Pujara top-scored for the hosts with 78 and his 133-run second-wicket partnership with Murali Vijay (76) was the highlight of the innings.New Zealand spinners Santner and Ish Sodhi claimed two wickets each as Mark Craig chipped in with one.Ashwin and Jadeja, sharing nine wickets between them, had put India in control on Saturday after bowling out New Zealand for 262 in response to Indias first-innings 318.

World's largest radio telescope starts operating in China

Posted:

BEIJING (AFP) - The world’s largest radio telescope began operating in southwestern China Sunday, a project which Beijing says will help humanity search for alien life.The Five-hundred-metre Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), nestled between hills in the mountainous region of Guizhou, began working around noon, the official Xinhua news agency reported.Built at a cost of 1.2 billion yuan ($180 million), the telescope dwarfs the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico as the world’s largest radio telescope, with a reflector as large as 30 football fields, it said.FAST will explore space and search for signs of intelligent life, it added.China sees its ambitious military-run, multi-billion-dollar space programme as symbolising the country’s progress. It plans a permanent orbiting space station by 2020 and eventually a manned mission to the moon.Earlier Xinhua cited Wu Xiangping, director-general of the Chinese Astronomical Society, as saying that the telescope’s high degree of sensitivity will help us to search for intelligent life outside of the galaxy.Construction of FAST began in 2011, and local officials vowed in February to relocate nearly 10,000 people living within five kilometres to create a better environment for monitoring.In the past China has relocated hundreds of thousands of people to make way for large infrastructure projects such as dams and canals.The area surrounding the telescope is remote and relatively poor. Xinhua earlier said it was chosen because there are no major towns nearby.
