Chris Gayle starred with the ball and bat for Lions in their Ram Slam T20 opener, taking four wickets and scoring a fifty to help the side beat Dolphins by six wickets at the Wanderers.Cody Chetty (68) and Vaughn van Jaarsveld had forged a recovery for Dolphins with a 71-run stand for the third wicket but Gayle’s introduction into the attack turned the game in Lions’ favour. He took a wicket in each over of his spell to finish with 4 for 36, breaking the Dolphins middle order by accounting for van Jaarsveld, Chetty, Jonathan Vandiar and Khaya Zondo. Prenelan Subrayen struck a few blows towards the end of the innings to lift the Dolphins total to 172.Lions began their chase with an 18-run over from Daryn Dupavillon but, by the fourth over, were struggling at 36 for 3. Gayle and Jean Symes’ 89-run stand put the chase back on track and both batsmen finished with half-centuries. While Gayle struck 56 off 38 balls, Symes finished on an unbeaten 50-ball 58 to guide Lions to a win in the 19th over.Kieron Pollard’s all-round contribution with bat and ball was the difference between the Cobras and the Titans in Johannesburg. Pollard led the Cobras final assault with the bat with 72 runs at a strike rate of 200, and was the architect of their 80-run plunder off the last six overs of their innings. He then took three wickets in two overs to derail the Titans’ chase.The Cobras were set up by Richard Levi, who faced just 34 balls for his 81 runs, but the Titans may have thought that was as bad as it got for them. They got rid of the Cobras’ top and middle order cheaply, with their slower bowlers doing the bulk of the containing. Roelof van der Merwe conceded just 14 runs in three overs while Dean Elgar took 3 for 20 and bowled a full quota to keep the Cobras quiet.That was before Pollard made his entrance. He spoilt the figures of Ethy Mbhlati and Rowan Richards and ensured the Cobras posted a run more than the Knights did in the early game.Unlike the Warriors, who collapsed in their chase of 206, the Titans looked set to get to their target of 208. Openers Elgar and Henry Davids were merciless in equal measure and shared in a first-wicket stand of 151 inside 15 overs. Again, it was Pollard who changed proceedings.In his third over, he had Elgar caught at long-on, Davids off against a slower ball and also accounted for Darren Sammy with a short ball- all in the space of seven deliveries. The Titans needed 45 runs off the last three overs but could only manage 30 in what became a tense finish.Warriors’ batting woes from the first-class and fifty-over formats have carried over into the shortest version of the game as well. Overseas signing Craig Kieswetter, who made 51, was the only batsman in their line-up who managed a score of more than 20 as they were beaten by the Knights in their campaign opener.Set a tall 206 for victory – a target built on the back of Knights’ opening stand of 78 runs and topped off by Diego Rosier’s second T20 half-century – the Warriors were never in the chase. Dillon du Preez’s four wickets dismantled them – his first pair dismissed the openers and second bored into the tail. In between that, all the other members of the Knights attack enjoyed success, except the slower bowlers, with the medium-pace of Malusi Siboto and the spin of Werner Coetsee costing more than eight runs an over.Those numbers only indicate indiscipline of the Warriors in the first half of the fixture. They used seven bowlers and none of them conceded at less than seven runs to the over, with Jon-Jon Smuts hauling in the best return of 2 for 28.Smuts’ strike pegged the Knights back after they were off to a speedy start thanks to Rudi Second and Gerhardt Abrahams. A mid-innings wobble saw them lose four wickets for 42 runs and they seemed to be losing their way but Rosier put them back on track. He shared in a 67-run stand with Obus Pienaar, which came in just 3.2 overs, to tip the Knights total over 200 and ensure they took maximum points from the first match of the campaign.

West Indies cricket is facing the prospect of a player strike on the eve of the World Twenty20 after the 15-man squad appeared collectively to reject the contracts on offer from the WICB.Darren Sammy, captain of the West Indies T20 side, has written to the board stating the players “can’t accept” what they perceive as “huge financial reductions” in the terms compared to previous global tournaments which, he says, amounts to an 80% cut.Sammy also stated that 14 of the 15-man squad are not part of WIPA (the West Indies Players’ Association) and therefore had not given the organisation the authority to negotiate on their behalf.

Sammy’s letter in full

To all concerned at WICB

I am sending this as captain of the West Indies T20 side and as a collective representative of the 15 man squad selected for the upcoming T20 World Cup.

We have collectively discussed the remuneration on offer to participate in the T20 World Cup. Considering that 14 out of the 15 man squad are not part of WIPA – and hence have not given authorisation to WIPA to negotiate on our behalf – and a large number do not receive any significant remuneration from WICB at all, we want the opportunity to negotiate fairly the financial terms within the contract.

The 2015 World Cup took place with the WI squad remunerated under the terms and conditions that had been in place for the World Cups previous – ie that 25% of income received by the WICB for participating in the tournament was distributed to the squad.

We do not understand – nor accept – just 1 year later being offered contracts to participate in a major ICC World Cup that show such huge financial reductions.

We want to represent the West Indies but the financials on offer we can’t accept.

Obviously I am not privy to exact numbers paid to the WICB from the ICC, but I understand USD $8m will be paid to the Board.

Traditionally 25% has been paid to the squad. That would equate to USD $2m / 15 therefore approximately USD $133,000 per player.

Worse case scenario the squad would earn $414,000 collectively under the terms of the contract offered by WICB to participate in the T20 World Cup 2016. That is just over 5%. A staggering difference, a near 80% reduction.

We want to propose we participate in the T20 World Cup 2016 under the same terms we have represented the West Indies in previous tournaments.

Please can you address this urgently. The T20 World Cup is just a matter of weeks away.

Darren Sammy

Though Sammy himself stopped short of threatening to withdraw from the tournament, ESPNcricinfo understands that other squad members have not ruled out the possibility. He made it clear that the players would not accept the current offer and called upon the board to “address this urgently”.”We want to represent the West Indies but the financials on offer we can’t accept,” Sammy wrote.”Obviously I am not privy to exact numbers paid to the WICB from the ICC, but I understand USD $8m will be paid to the Board.”Traditionally 25% has been paid to the squad. That would equate to USD $2m / 15 therefore approximately USD $133,000 per player.”Worse case scenario the squad would earn $414,000 collectively under the terms of the contract offered by WICB to participate in the T20 World Cup 2016. That is just over 5%. A staggering difference, a near 80% reduction.”We want to propose we participate in the T20 World Cup 2016 under the same terms we have represented the West Indies in previous tournaments.”Please can you address this urgently. The T20 World Cup is just a matter of weeks away.”But the premise of Sammy’s argument was quickly dismissed by Michael Muirhead, the CEO of the WICB. He insisted that the sums mentioned in Sammy’s statement were “totally incorrect” and reminded the team that WIPA remains the “recognised collective bargaining representative of West Indies cricketers and therefore negotiates the remuneration between WICB and each West Indian player, whether such player is or is not a member of WIPA.””We are not sure where you obtained this information, but assure you it is totally incorrect,” Muirhead stated in connection with the $8m figure.”As a result of the ICC revamp which was agreed on 8 February 2014, the ICC has changed the manner in which distributions to Full Members in relation to ICC events are paid – starting from the ICC WT20 2016. These payments are now spread out and distributed over an eight-year cycle, rather than being paid out in a lump sum and attributed to any one event.”It is therefore not possible to identify a particular sum which will be paid to the WICB by the ICC in respect of the WT20 2016.”While it is true that WICB has previously calculated compensation to the ICC event squad members as a percentage of the ICC distribution received in relation to the particular event; because of the reason outlined above, it is not possible to calculate a percentage to be paid to the Squad, as the ICC distribution is no longer being made in the traditional manner.”The WICB, in recognition of this, and in an effort at fairness and transparency, allocates 25% of WICB revenues estimated over a four-year period – including ICC distributions – to players, through a guaranteed minimum revenue pool, out of which player payments are made.”Anything in excess of this minimum over the relevant four-year cycle, will be divided solely among the international players, as agreed with WIPA.”The remuneration to the players for the WT20 comprises an agreed match fee of three times the usual fee, plus 50% of the net proceeds of any sponsorship for the event, and 80% of any prize money earned by the team. Note that for this tournament, the prize money has increased substantially from the previous WT20, moving from a gross total of US$3million to US$5.6million, of which the winner will receive US$1.6million.”Muirhead signed off his reply by making it quite clear the WICB was not prepared to compromise.”We are unable to move the deadline of 2pm ECT on 14 February 2016 for receipt of the signed player contracts for the WT20 2016.”West Indies won the 2012 version of the tournament and recently returned to the top of the ICC T20 rankings. They are currently rated as the world’s second-best international T20 side.

Paul Nixon, the former England wicketkeeper, has agreed a new three-year deal with Leicestershire whom he will captain from next season.Jeremy Snape, Leicestershire’s current captain, will stand down from his role and focus on his role as a one-day specialist. Meanwhile, Jim Allenby has extended his contract by another two years and the club’s head coach, Tim Boon, has also agreed to stay at the club until 2010.”Paul Nixon will be a role model captain with his sheer professionalism and enthusiasm,” Boon said. “Jim Allenby has made tremendous strides forward as a player over the last two years, and has the potential to become a good captain in time.”

Duncan Fletcher has seen something in Graham Onions © Getty Images

Graham Onions, the Durham bowler, wants to force his way into England’s Champions Trophy plans after earning a shock call-up into their one-day squad. Onions has replaced Darren Gough for the remainder of the limited over series against Pakistan after Gough was ruled out with shin problems.No-one was more surprised at his elevation to the international ranks than Onions, who has been used sparingly by Durham in limited overs matches this year and has not taken any one-day wickets. But Duncan Fletcher, England’s coach, has seen something in Onions and called him into the squad despite his lack of limited overs experience.”It’s unbelievable really,” admitted Onions. “If someone had said at the start of the season that I’d be representing my country I would have laughed at them, but it’s a great opportunity for me. I’ve always been desperate to play for my country and I’ve put a lot of hard work in the winter and it’s paid off now – I just didn’t think I’d get here as quickly as I have.”Should Onions impress this week he has a chance of being included in the 14-man squad for next month’s Champions Trophy tournament in India. That may come too soon, however, and more realistically he may be looking to get into England’s plans for the one-day series in Australia early in the New Year, with the World Cup possibly to follow.

Scott Styris’s 63 propped up New Zealand, but the rest of the batting was patchy © Getty Images

Stephen Fleming, the New Zealand captain, admitted that his team put in a below-par performance against Zimbabwe on Wednesday, but said that the display would help the players focus better for the rest of the Videocon Cup tournament. New Zealand were patchy with both bat and ball, scoring only 238 – a big come-down from the 397 they amassed against Zimbabwe in their earlier game – and then allowed their opponents to get to within 27 runs of victory.”The adrenaline was running a bit because it got quite close at the end, but that was good for us,” Fleming said after the match. “We didn’t play well throughout, we never really got out of second gear but sometimes you need those kind of wins. They keep you focused for the rest of the tournament. We stuttered our way through the innings and scraped to 238 – against India we’ve got to be better than that.”Fleming, though, wasn’t too concerned by the relative closeness of the contest. “It’s a good exercise for us, a line in the sand as to where we need to be,” he said. “Twice now we’ve fallen short of that mark, but it’s not going to take much to get there.”New Zealand have already confirmed their place in the final with an all-win record in three games. With India almost certain to be their opponents in that match, Friday’s contest between the two will be a warm-up to the final, allowing each team to size up the other. “We can look at what we want to get out of it [Friday’s match],” Fleming said. “We want to win, firstly, but we can look at other things like whatever information there is to be gathered because there is the bigger picture to consider.”One worry for them would be the fitness of Chris Cairns, their star allrounder who missed Wednesday’s match due to a strained hamstring. “His hamstring is a bit tight and we’re nursing him through,” Fleming said. “Hopefully he’ll be fit for the game against India because he needs the cricket under his belt after coming out of a New Zealand winter.”Meanwhile, Tatenda Taibu, the Zimbabwe captain, was quite pleased with his team’s fighting performance. “We’ve definitely improved in our bowling and in the field, and our batting is also better,” Taibu said. “It was getting close at the end, and maybe we should have been more positive at the start and in the middle of our innings. We’ve been having problems against the new ball, so my message to the guys was to try and spend more time at the crease and get some confidence back.”

Vinod Kambli: one of the stars on view in the brand-new US league© AFP

Two dozen Indians are set to participate in the USA’s Pro Cricket league which begins in a week’s time. The 20-overs-a-side games will feature former Test and one-day players, as well as domestic stars, who will be divided among the eight teams.The season, which lasts three months, will feature the likes of Vinod Kambli and Ajay Jadeja, and though the money isn’t substantial, the players will be given the option of committing for as many games as they like. The BBC sports website reported that Anshuman Gaekwad, who was the go-between for the organisers and the players, said that it would enable them to return home when they wished.”It allows the cricketers a flexible option of playing as few as three games over a weekend, then returning home to their normal businesses and coming back when they feel like it,” said Gaekwad, adding that the players could participate and later decide whether they wanted to play some more. “I’ve asked the players to view it as a cricket-playing holiday and then decide if they might want to play more matches.”The hosts are going to spread the red carpet and provide hospitality, but there isn’t going to be big money involved – the players know that,” he said. “No formal contracts are involved here, the invitation and acceptance is all by word of mouth. The cricketers are trying to mix weekend cricket with an off-season holiday. Keeping that in view, they’ll surely have a good time.”Kambli, who is known for his big hitting, was excited by the opportunity, and said that it would beat not playing cricket at all. “It’s an exciting proposition, far better to be knocking the ball around in a 20-over match during the off-season rather than have no cricket. I’m looking forward to playing in the US. It sounds like an exciting format. I’ll play some games, come back to attend to my work in Bombay, and return to play some more matches.”While Sanjay Bangar, Deep Dasgupta and Nikhil Chopra had agreed to play, Gaekwad said that the organisers were not seeking international players, as finding time in the busy international schedule would surely be a constraint.

Although Glamorgan`s match against Cardiff UCCE petered out into a draw, the friendlygave the county professionals some invaluable practice in readiness for theirChampionship fixture against Derbyshire starting on Good Friday.After gaining a first innings lead of 212, Steve James wisely opted againstenforcing the follow-on during the afternoon session, and instead the Glamorgancaptain gave his batsmen further time in the middle against the university bowlers.The county`s batsmen responded in positive fashion, amassing 306-5 in just 44.2 overs,with the highlight after tea being some vintage strokeplay from Matthew Maynard,who struck an imperious century from just 49 balls, with 13 fours and 5 sixes. His secondfifty came from just 17 balls, and this was the second century of the season for the 37 year old,following his fine hundred against Somerset at Taunton. Maynard appears to be inrich form at the moment, scoring 344 runs in the pre-season games and havingonly been dismissed once.David Hemp and Mike Powell also took full advantage of further time at the wicket, andboth hit fluent half-centuries before being dismissed by James Tomlinson, the left-armseamer who is on Hampshire`s staff.Earlier, the students had began the day on 136-4, but they lost wickets at regularintervals during the morning session, although there was some stubborn resistance fromwicket-keeper Ryan Bradshaw, and all-rounder Tom Lambert.Bradshaw, who had previously been on the M.C.C. groundstaff, made an aggressive 22,whilst Lambert compiled a pugnacious 44 before he was the last man out to giveDavid Harrison his fourth wicket. Darren Thomas also picked up three wickets,with Andrew Davies claiming two and Robert Croft one, whilst Alex Wharf bowled acouple of hostile spells and was unlucky not to pick up at least one wicket.There was also the welcome sight before play of Mike Kasprowicz fresh from hisovernight flight from Australia, where he was the leading seam bowler in Shieldcricket last winter.

New Zealand are back at full strength with the return of theircaptain, Stephan Fleming, who has recovered from stomach trouble. TheBlack Caps will be looking forward to move to the top of the tablewith a victory in tomorrow’s game, which is the seventh match of theCoca-Cola Cup at the Sinhalese Sports Club grounds. If they win, theywill be drawing level with Sri Lanka in the points table but in thenet run rate they have a slight edge over the hosts. And there areprecedents of the net run rate deciding the finalists of Triangulartournaments."I’m fine. I’ll be perfectly alright for tomorrow’s game," said theNew Zealand captain at the end of the team’s practice session thismorning at the SSC Grounds.But the hosts, who have already got six points, will be determined notto repeat the mistakes against India on Saturday.Until the last game, India was unlikely to get through to the final,but after the improved performance on Saturday, they’ve got a slimchance to make it and in the process they have made the competitionmore interesting."We’ve played some good cricket and confident of getting through tothe final," said a confident Fleming at the end of the team’spractice session.Sri Lankan coach Dav Whatmore, does not seem to be too worried aboutlosing the last game against India, "The object of the exercise isfirst to make the final. We are nearly there. We could have been thereafter the last game. But we played poorly and the Indians playedbetter."With Fleming’s recovery, Jacob Oram, who played well in the Indiangame is likely to make way for him. Batting at No 3, Oram made 41 off37 balls with five boundaries and a six. He also dismissed RahulDravid for 27.Dion Nash who has played in both the matches against India was leftout in the matches against Sri Lanka, but after his brilliant allround performance in the last game against India, he is expected to bein the final eleven, according to the New Zealand captain.There is a general feeling that the Black Caps have failed to comegood against quality spinners, but the captain has a completelydifferent view, "I don’t think there’s a problem. Off the threeteams, we have scored the highest runs so far. It’s just not only us;all the teams are finding the wicket difficult in the middle overs.Admittedly, we can do a few things better, but overall we have donewell," remarked the New Zealand captain.The tournament shifts away from Premadasa stadium where the first sixmatches of the Coca-Cola Cup were played. The last time a One-DayInternational was played at the SSC, Sri Lanka crushed England by tenwickets. The pitch looks a good one and the curator Ranil Abenaiakefeels there should be a lot of runs. This is a view with which Flemingconcurs. "Yes, it looks like a good wicket. Looks the best out of thelot," he said.Sri Lankan cricket manager Air Commodore Ajith Jayasekara has returnedto his duties as the team manager after he temporarily stepped downfollowing the terrorists attack on the air-force base at Katunayake.Sri Lanka are likely to go with the same combination that lost thegame against India. Mahela Jayawardene is expected to keep his placein the side despite a lean trot. The right-hander has just scored 20runs in four innings with two ducks, "We are missing his runs. Butbatsmen do experience this kind of bad patch. He just needs to spendsometime in the middle. I tell you the boy is a terrific player. Thereis no doubt about it," said a confident Whatmore.The coach also says they will stick to the six batsmen policy whichthey have been following in this series, "I am very pleased with thepolicy. Those who took the decision did so after taking a lot offactors into account and with the best interest of the team in mind."With Sri Lanka unlikely to make any changes it’s likely that RomeshKaluwitharana will again be the opening partner for Sanath Jayasuriyaafter their 103-run partnership against India.If Sri Lanka win tomorrow’s game, they’ll be through to the final andthat will mean that India and New Zealand will have to fight hard toearn a slot to the August 5 final at the Premadasa stadium underflood-lights.If New Zealand wins, that will put the Indians in a must win situationin their last two games.

Celtic have the chance to go six points clear at the top of the Premiership on Sunday if they can secure a win in the latest Glasgow derby.

Prior to the recent international break, the Hoops recorded a convincing 4-0 win over Ross County at Parkhead, setting them up nicely to take on their fiercest rivals at Ibrox this weekend.

On the chalkboard

In terms of how Ange Postecoglou could set up his team tomorrow, one player who didn’t start against County but we feel should be in the starting XI on this occasion is full-back Anthony Ralston.

Despite seeing Josip Juranovic start ahead of him last time out, the 23-year-old replaced him with 62 minutes on the clock and managed to put on a solid show.

With 28 minutes under his belt, the Scotland international made one tackle, won 100% of his aerial duels and completed 40 of the 43 passes he attempted, two of which were key passes. This cameo ultimately earned him an overall match rating of 7/10 from SofaScore, which is higher than what Juranovic got.

Looking at his season as a whole, Ralston has shown what an impressive all-around figure he is by racking up four goals and seven assists, along with averaging 1.6 tackles and 1.6 clearances per game in the league.

Praised for his “magnificent” performances in the past and hailed as a “warrior” on the pitch by Postecoglou, Ralston certainly has what it takes to be a real nuisance for his opponents from an attacking and defensive sense.

Taking into account the magnitude of tomorrow’s showdown and what it could mean for the title race on both sides, having a player like the £1.62m-rated defender on the pitch could be vital for Celtic given how deadly he can be in front of goal and how tough he can be at the back.

Moving forward, even though Rangers have scored fewer goals and conceded more than the Hoops this season, their current position in the table means that they will only be looking to win on Sunday. Therefore, if they go all-out attacking from the get-go, having a player like Ralston who can defend and also punish teams at the other end could make him the difference between winning and losing for Celtic. He is a man they will likely need this weekend.

Gazi Group Cricketers took a four-point lead at the top of the Dhaka Premier League points table after their ten-run win over Brothers Union at the BKSP-3 Ground in Savar. Abu Hider’s four-wicket haul made the difference for Gazi Group at the end of a tense battle.Set 237 to beat the in-form team of the competition, Alok Kapali and Manvinder Bisla added 78 runs for the fourth wicket after Brothers Union lost three early wickets. When Manvinder fell in the 39th over, having added 60 runs for the sixth wicket with Dhiman Ghosh, Gazi Group took charge of the game.Even though Myshukur Rahaman tried to inspire Brothers Union’s lower-order to an end-innings fightback with a run-a-ball 38, Hider’s late strikes, culminating in figures of 4 for 52, ensured the opposition was bowled out for 226 in 48.5 overs. Mahedi Hasan and Shahidul Islam finished with two wickets each.Earlier, Gazi Group’s innings was headlined by a 97-ball 93 from wicketkeeper Anamul Haque, who strung a third-wicket 89-run stand with Suhrawadi Shuvo (41) and a 59-run fifth-wicket partnership with captain Nadif Chowdhury (33), before Mohammad Saddam and Kapali scalped three wickets apiece to skittle Gazi Group for 236 in 48.4 overs.Partex Sporting Club registered their first win this season after handing Kalabagan Krira Chakra a 62-run drubbing at the KSOA Stadium in Fatullah.Having been put in to bat, Partex posted 278 for 5 in 50 overs, piloted by a 52-run stand between Irfan Sukkur (58) and Sajjad Hossain (46) for the third wicket. Sukkur and and Sazzadul Haque (53) then put on 95 runs for the fourth wicket. Jubair Ahmed (16) and Rajibul Islam (30) took Partex past 250 runs, adding 42 unbroken runs for the sixth wicket in the last 4.4 overs.Samad returned the best figures for Kalabagan, finishing with 3 for 50 from his ten overs.In reply, despite having four experienced batsmen, Kalabagan failed to play out their full quota of 50 overs, folding for 216 in 46.1 overs. Hamilton Masakadza top-scored with 45 while openers Mehrab Hossain jnr and Mohammad Ashraful struggled to make any impact, registering scores of 11 and 12 respectively. Kalabagan’s woes were compounded by Imran Ali, who bagged a five-wicket haul in only his second List-A game. Among his victims were Masakadza and captain Tushar Imran, who fell for a four-ball duck.Khelaghar Samaj Kallyan Samity moved to eighth position on the points table after Robiul Islam Robi struck a 126-ball 103 to set up a 20-run victory over fifth-placed Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club at the BKSP-4 Ground.Having elected to bat, Khelaghar opener Robi clobbered ten fours and two sixes enroute to his second List-A century this season. He added 83 for the first wicket with Salahuddin Pappu (46) before adding 126 for the third wicket with Amit Majumder, who struck 58 off 74 balls. Abdur Razzak picked up his second five-for of the season, as Khelaghar posted 266 for 8 in 50 overs.Dhanmondi Club were reduced to 22 for 3 in the fourth over but Prashant Chopra (44) and Rajin Saleh (76) added 53 for the fourth wicket to resuscitate the chase. Rajin and the in-form Ziaur Rahman (75) then led Dhanmond’s rally with an emphatic 108-run stand for the fifth wicket. However, Ziaur’s dismissal in the 35th over triggered a lower-order collapse as Dhanmondi lost their last five wickets for 51 runs before being bowled out for 246 in 47.2 overs. Abdur retired hurt with a leg injury after he fell badly while putting in a dive to get back in the crease. Tanvir Islam scalped four wickets to help Khelaghar register their third win of the tournament.
