One of my best innings: Yusuf Yusuf Pathan struck a career-best 148 as India recovered to complete an 81-run win over New Zealand A at Chennai in a tri-series one-day cricket match on Sunday. More... One of my best innings: Yusuf Special Correspondent Chennai: “It is a great feeling to contribute to the side when it needs the effort. It was one of my best innings,” said Yusuf Pathan speaking to presspersons after a counter-attacking 148 here on Sunday. “There was pressure but Rohit (Sharma) and myself decided that we would play positive cricket. We had lost five wickets. Gradually we came back,” he added. Yusuf said Mark Gillespie and Jeetan Patel bowled well for New Zealand ‘A’ and he had to apply himself. “I think I will remember this innings for my shot selection. I played some big shots later on. “There was some bounce and the ball came on to the bat,” he said. He had his right elbow strapped and conceded he was in great discomfort after being struck by Gillespie. “I decided to carry on. It was a spontaneous decision,” Yusuf said. Later on in the afternoon, he would dive to his right near the ropes to prevent a boundary. “I gave it my all today,” said Yusuf. He complimented his partners, Rohit, Irfan Pathan, and Piyush Chawla for their efforts. “Rohit batted well. My partnership with Irfan was crucial. It probably was the difference between a total of 250-odd and 300-odd,” said Yusuf. He believes India ‘A’ can win the tournament.

Australia A v New Zealand A, 5th one-dayer, Chennai White four-for hands Australia easy win Cricinfo staff September 22, 2008 Australia A 145 for 2 (Hussey 78) beat New Zealand A 144 (Fulton 65, White 4-32) by eight wickets Scorecard Australia A secured a place in the A Team Triangular Series final after allrounder Cameron White triggered a New Zealand A collapse that left his side needing 145 runs in 50 overs. Australia did the needful in 24.5; David Hussey hurrying matters with a 56-ball 78. New Zealand chose to bat but were down to 2 for 2 in the second over. Marcus North was involved in the dismissal of the openers: he ran out Aaron Redmond for a duck and took a catch to get rid of Martin Guptill. A 97-run partnership between Peter Fulton and Greg Hay revived the innings before Shaun Tait broke the stand by bowling Hay for 36. However it was White's dismissal of Fulton - in the 30th over - that shook the base. New Zealand collapsed from 127 for 3 to 127 for 6 in seven deliveries. The lower order couldn't withstand White's legspin and Tait's pace, and New Zealand were dismissed in 37.3 overs for a disappointing 144. In all, only three New Zealand batsmen reached double figures. Hussey and Phillip Hughes scored at more than six an over and their 112-run second-wicket partnership took Australia within touching distance of a win. Hussey's innings included ten fours and three sixes. Australia will now play India A on Wednesday before the final between the same sides on Friday.

India A win dress rehearsal by three wickets The final league game of the tri-series may have been reduced to a dead rubber after New Zealand A's elimination but the few thousands of spectators, who came to watch India A take on Australia A, were entertained during a see-saw battle. More... India A v Australia A, Chennai India A win dress rehearsal by three wickets The Bulletin by Kanishkaa Balachandran in Chennai September 24, 2008 India A 277 for 7 (Rohit 51, Raina 46*) beat Australia A 272 for 6 (Hussey 74, Hughes 49*, North 40) by three wickets Scorecard Piyush Chawla took two wickets and struck 25 off 11 balls in India A's victory © Getty Images The final league game of the tri-series may have been reduced to a dead rubber after New Zealand A's elimination but the few thousands of spectators who came to watch India A take on Australia A were entertained by a see-saw battle. Both teams brought competitive flair to an inconsequential match and, in the end, India A chased down the target with three wickets and four overs in hand to take some confidence into Friday's final. India suffered a few hiccups during their run-chase. They lost their first three wickets for 70 before Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina shared an 85-run stand for the fourth wicket, which turned the match India's way. They lost a few more wickets but not direction and a cameo from Piyush Chawla helped them go past Australia's total of 272. Both teams took the opportunity presented by the dead rubber to field experimental sides. Ravi Teja, Jaydev Shah and Wriddhiman Saha finally got a chance while Australia tinkered with their batting line-up and also rested Shaun Tait for the seamer Mark Cameron. Robin Uthappa had another chance to get out of his rut but Cameron was too quick and the opener lost his off stump. Shah had the licence to attack and he made room and swung hard at wide deliveries to kick start the innings. Ravi Teja was given an opportunity ahead of Raina and he impressed during his stint using Cameron's pace to hit two boundaries on either side of the wicket before an attempted pull eventually fell to David Hussey at midwicket. The dismissal left India on 70 for 3 and in need of a partnership or two. Cue Sharma and Raina, who gave India the initiative by scoring at a brisk rate - their partnership took only 83 balls - and preventing the loss of further wickets. Raina set the tone by hitting left-arm spinner Xavier Doherty for two sixes over the leg side. Rohit collected singles with deft touches and flicks against the spinners. However, their dismissals - Raina was caught off Geeves and Sharma was run out while ball-watching - came in quick succession and left India with a bit more work to do. At the 34th over India were 187 for 5 and Yusuf Pathan's aggressive 36 took them closer. He dictated terms during his innings, which included a whip past midwicket and a powerful pull over square leg, but his dismissal left Australia with a chance. Chawla, however, eased the pressure with a straight six off Brett Geeves in the 45th over and sealed the win with two sixes off Doherty in the following over. Both teams had a satisfactory workout, especially the Australians, after their one-sided contest against New Zealand on Tuesday. They experimented with a new opening pair in Adam Voges and Marcus North but their stand was broken by the fourth over. North scored 40 off 52 balls and played second fiddle to Hussey, who peppered the off side with boundaries. Hussey favoured the extra cover region, scooping Irfan Pathan over the rope and driving him along the ground. He used his feet once the spinners came on and lofted Chawla with the turn over mid-off before hitting him over midwicket shortly after bringing up his fifty. A cloudy morning gave way to a sunny afternoon and the conditions got easier for batting. The Australians were comfortably placed at 104 for 2 after the Powerplays and Hussey was ticking along at more than a run a ball. Hussey's dismissal was vital and Yusuf Pathan sneaked one through his defences to cut him short on 74. India did not find wickets easy to come by and Australia's middle order put together useful partnerships. Cameron White and George Bailey added 41, Bailey and Phillip Hughes added 45, both in quick time. Hughes, who had dropped down the order, adjusted smoothly and improvised during the slog overs. He made room to attack by moving towards leg, exposing all three stumps, to hit the bowlers over the off side. Ashley Noffke joined Hughes and the pair added 57 off 46 balls to take the Australians to a competitive score. The target, however, was well within India's reach and the two sides will play the final with an even head-to-head record.
