Peter Siddle has admitted he feared his Test career was over after he was ignored for Edgbaston and Trent Bridge, but now hopes a roaring return to his familiar role in the Australia XI will cause the selectors to reconsider their opinion of him.There was considerable dismay at Siddle’s omission from Trent Bridge in particular, and he spoke frankly of all the factors that he felt should have forced his inclusion in the team for Nottingham. “You always think that a little bit,” he said of never playing again. “A couple of wickets that we’d played on where I thought I might’ve got my opportunity and had missed out. You just never know.”Trent Bridge, I’ve had good success there, played county cricket there as well, so I know the ground. It was disappointing, but kept doing everything I can and make sure that if my opportunity came that I had to be ready to go. I felt pretty good coming into this game. It was just nice to get a few wickets, to get the team on a good roll and get us into this position. It’s nice. The boys have played well.”The selectors Rod Marsh and Darren Lehmann had spoken often with Siddle about the numerous and varying reasons why he had been ignored for the Tests thus far. It was mainly to do with their conviction that the attack of Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Johnson and Josh Hazlewood was superior in all conditions. Events at The Oval have begged to differ, as Siddle has played a pivotal role in keeping runs down while adding vital wickets.”I think it’s just the boys that had been playing had performed well,” Siddle said. “The lads finished off the summer well, went to the West Indies and performed well and they got their opportunity. That’s how it works I guess. I just had to make sure I was ready when my opportunity came. I was disappointed it did take so long, but I was ready at any stage. It’s no different now. There’s never any Test match that you never want to have a crack in.”To get back together with the bowling line-up we had – it was pretty similar, a few different faces -and have those five key bowlers and be able to work in tandem. My role is to try and be patient, build pressure and restrict the runs. I enjoy doing that. I enjoy playing for the country. It’s just lovely to be back out on the field and playing, and the team doing well.”A looming tour of Bangladesh would appear not to be as ideally suited to Siddle’s skills, but later assignments against New Zealand at home and away may be more amenable. Siddle is certainly more hopeful of an opportunity now than he had been two weeks ago.”It’s obviously tough being on the sidelines and carrying drinks . . . especially at my age. It’s only 30 but you still want to be out there,” he said. “It has been tough, but to get this opportunity and come out here and bowl well … I’ve felt comfortable, the team has performed well. Blokes batted well and the bowling group has been outstanding. It’s just great to be in this position.”

Duleep Trophy, after three seasons of being the season kick-off tournament, has got back its due status: of a tournament played after the Ranji Trophy in which the season’s best players compete. It is back to the 75 best players outside the Indian side taking up the unique challenge of competing through zonal teams made up of the best from various states in the respective zones. To add to the competition, England Lions will be the visiting team this year. Cricinfo takes a look at the build-up of the six teams

Central Zone
Last time Mohammad Kaif led the Central Zone side, they won the Duleep Trophy in 2004-05. By the semi-final stage of the Ranji Trophy this year, Kaif – by then certain to be the Central Zone captain – would have quite enviably started thinking how to utilise the most potent attack in the country: pace bowlers – Praveen Kumar, Sudeep Tyagi, Pankaj Singh and Sanjay Bangar, and spinners – Piyush Chawla, Murali Kartik and Praveen Gupta. Following the Ranji final, some of the confusion must have cleared as Kumar and Chawla have been released to join the Indian team for the ODIs in Australia. But the attack, even without the two, should pose a threat to most of the batting line-ups.In Tyagi and Bangar, they have the leading wicket-takers from the Super and Plate Leagues respectively. Pankaj, before leaving for Australia, had taken 26 wickets from five matches.If the Centrals Zone’s bowling attack is enviable, Kaif is left with the unenviable task, just like with Uttar Pradesh, of leading an unproven batting line-up. Apart from him and Tanmay Srivastava, centurion in the Ranji final, Rajasthan’s Robin Bist and Vineet Saxena are the only two batsmen from the Super League. Harshad Rawle scored a century in the Plate final. The batting is yet to look the strongest, but if they can give their bowlers enough runs they could go close to repeating the success of 2004-05 – Kaif, Bangar, Kartik and Naman Ojha were members of that side too.England Lions
In 2003-04 when India started the experiment of inviting one foreign team to play the Duleep Trophy, England ‘A’ were the first visitors. A team that comprised of Kevin Pietersen, Simon Jones, Matt Prior and Sajid Mahmood lost both their matches outright, including a successful 503-run chase by South Zone. The Lions, who play Central Zone and West Zone in the league stage, will want to improve on the precedent.Monty Panesar, this year, is their biggest player, and should generate a lot of interest. Apart from Panesar, their captain Michael Yardy, wicketkeeper James Foster, Ed Joyce, and Liam Plunkett have been in and around the England team for quite a while. Apart from Panesar, who will most likely tour India for Tests later this year, upcoming pace bowlers like Graham Onions will cherish this opportunity of playing in subcontinent conditions.North Zone
Delhi, the Ranji champions, deservedly dominate the North Zone’s line-up with six players, but the defending champions will be depleted because of the absence of their key players. Gautam Gambhir, off for the ODIs in Australia, and Pradeep Sangwan and Virat Kohli, representing India in the Under-19 World Cup, also would have made it easily.Aakash Chopra, whose 188 in the last year’s final secured North Zone the trophy, and Shikhar Dhawan will make a dangerous opening combination. Mithun Manhas, Punjab’s Uday Kaul, Services’ Yashpal Singh and Himachal Pradesh’s Paras Dogra will make up the middle order. Rajat Bhatia, easily the most valuable player this Ranji season with 525 runs and 26 wickets, including a big century when Delhi were 36 for 4 in the final, will be just the perfect No. 6 for them.In Sangwan’s absence, North Zone will look to the Himachal duo of Ashok Thakur and Vikramjeet Singh Malik to lead the pace attack. The two took 62 wickets between them this season. Joginder Sharma, who didn’t have a great season, does provide them an option. Chetanya Nanda and Amit Mishra will be their main spinners.West Zone
With three teams from West Zone making the Ranji semi-finals this year – Mumbai not being one of them – West Zone put up a solid challenge at this year’s Duleep Trophy. Parthiv Patel, the leading run-scorer in the Plate League, will lead the side, which boasts of internationals like Ramesh Powar, Munaf Patel, Ajit Agarkar and Yusuf Pathan. In Cheteshwar Pujara, they have the Super League’s highest scorer as well as other heavy scorers, Rakesh Solanki, Niraj Patel and Harshad Khadiwale.Sandeep Jobanputra and Siddharth Trivedi will give Agarkar and Munaf a tough fight for places in the starting XI, if both of them are fit, that is. Then they have Maharshtra’s Samad Fallah as a wildcard. Powar, Pathan and Rakesh Dhurv will make up the allrounder-spinner combo, with Rajesh Pawar one of the reserves.The best part for West Zone is that they have not been hit by selections to the Indian team, so they are one of the strong contenders this time round.South Zone
This hasn’t been the year for the teams from South Zone, who haven’t won the title since 1996-97: Tamil Nadu played it too safe despite having all their games at home, Hyderabad had to fight to avoid relegation, Karnataka were disappointing after Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid left for national duty. But Andhra and Kerala surprised, with Andhra finishing at No. 3 in their group and Kerala making the semi-finals of the Plate League.

R Vinay Kumar and Sunil Joshi, Nos 2 and 6 on the wicket-takers’ list, are absent from the South Zone squad. There could have been some logic in not playing Joshi, as younger spinners – Pragyan Ojha and S Anish – have been picked, but Vinay Kumar will surely feel disappointed for having missed the selection.S Badrinath, M Vijay and D Ravi Teja will expectedly make the core of the batting line-up, with support from Raiphi Gomez, Arjun Yadav and Swapnil Asnodkar. Sreesanth’s selection for the ODIs in Australia will weaken their attack, with NC Aiyappa and D Kalyankrishna in lead roles.East Zone
It has been a contrasting year for Orissa and Bengal, but it nonetheless ended in disappointment for both. Bengal got relegated and Orissa came within a favourable result of a semi-final and lost. The two states dominate the East Zone side, which has never won a Duleep Trophy. The Orissa players will look to impress furthermore, while for Bengal players this is one final go at an elite first-class competition before they start their fight in the Plate League.The East Zone bowling attack comprises mainly the Bengal attack – Ranadeb Bose and SS Paul – and Orissa’s Mohantys – Debasis and Basanth – who were the key to their success this year.Manoj Tiwary, who fizzled out after a sparkling start to the season, has been given another opportunity, and again he has to carry out the responsibility he failed to do with Bengal: to lead a weak batting line-up. He will have captain Shiv Sunder Das for company. The ones who need to rally around them are Bengal openers Arindam Das and Anustup Mujumdar and Jharkhand captain Manish Vardhan.

Easterns province, formerly known as Manicaland before Zimbabwe Cricket’s controversial districts demarcation, have won the Faithwear one-day series, shaking off by virtue of a superior net run-rate the challenge of pre-tournament favourites Northerns. Northerns are made up largely of the old Mashonaland province, the biggest cricket-playing region on Zimbabwe.Although competition was rather close – simply for the reason that there was really nothing separating the sides in terms of player-quality, with national team players in the West Indies for the World Cup – one would not have to look too hard to figure just how domestic standards have plummeted to an all time low.ZC tried to foster tight contests by awarding match fees in the local currency, no matter how mediocre, but for the participating teams, that they were taking part in what was apparently a List A event seemed not to rub in.Even so, the series had its shining lights, especially from the players who have been told or think that they still have a future in Zimbabwe cricket. The likes of the capped Greg Strydom, who was consistent for his Westerns outfit (formerly Matabeleland), Tino Mawoyo for Easterns, and Trevor Garwe (Northerns), at times showed the chasm between them and the rest of the flock.Not to say there was not signs of young talent coming through. The likes of Thabo Mboyi of Westerns and Tendai Chisoro (Southerns, formerly Masvingo), represented a new breed of young pace bowlers making their presence felt in the fringes.Promising batsmen such as Tafadzwa Mpofu of Centrals (the former Midlands), and Prince Masvaure of Northerns, also showed that Zimbabwe will for the time being have no short supply of ready novices.Another area where Zimbabwe cricket can draw positives is the emergence of a breed of players who can bowl and bat. Masvaure is a gifted opening batsman who is also a dangerous swing bowler, either with new or old ball. Southerns have top-order batsman Tendai Machiri, who can also bowl offspin with match-winning results. In one game, he scored a half-century and took four wickets.Disappointing though was the poor turnout- there could be better consolation for being deprived the World Cup on television. The local media, too, was not more interested. With the four-day Logan Cup coming soon, and a return to Tests in November, Zimbabwe cricket will just have to do better.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball commentary
How they were out

A day that started with both teams unsure of their position finished with Australia staring down at their opponents and carrying a 227-run lead. A devastatingly quick spell from Brett Lee with the second new ball set up their dominance as he combined with Stuart Clark to spark a collapse of 5 for 12 that dropped South Africa from the comfort earned by Jacques Kallis’s fighting century to a disappointing 267.The brilliance of Lee, who stormed through the final four batsmen to gain 5 for 69, ruined the work of Kallis and Australia’s top order added to the damage by posting 125 for the loss of Justin Langer for 37. Ricky Ponting drove the target-setting with 48, including a six and a four off one Nicky Boje over, while Matthew Hayden settled in as the passenger with 36.With the match waiting for an irresistible force over the first seven sessions, Lee joined Clark before tea with South Africa sailing slowly but happily at 255 for 5 and dramatically changed the game. Clark started the demolition with a return catch off Kallis from his first delivery with the new ball and Lee finished things off with pure speed that almost nudged 160kph. One of Lee’s many celebrations was Mark Boucher becoming his 200th Test wicket and his haul quickly pushed him to 202 as he knocked over Andre Nel and Makhaya Ntini, putting him on a hat-trick in the second innings.Shaun Pollock (1) fell to a nick and Boucher (19) lost his leg stump to an under-edge before Nel walked into a cloud of chatter from the fielders. Lee’s swift removal of the two bowlers limited the rash of verbals and Australia took a first-innings lead of 102 that was highly unlikely as they struggled to conquer Kallis.After haring to a wildly impressive half-century late on day two, Kallis pulled out the brake and tortoised to his 24th hundred. Starting on 72, he waited almost 45 minutes for his first two runs and his mood after lunch was similar as he grafted seven in the first hour. The conditions were still not conducive to free-flowing play – Kallis was hit on his injured elbow and the hand – and he sprinkled some fine shots, including the back-foot drive off Shane Warne in the over before lunch to bring up his century.

Ponting opened the match with a hard-working 103 that came under extreme pressure in Durban’s most testing conditions, but he was building his side’s innings after walking out with the score on zero. Today Kallis was performing with the strong platform set by himself and AB de Villiers and did not kick on.His first fifty came in 49 balls on Saturday and was an incredible display of counter-attacking, but he woke up a new man and spent another 173 deliveries reaching his final score. The application was impressive but South Africa needed something more positive and they quickly wilted when he popped a catch to Clark.Clark had also struck an important blow in the morning’s third over to remove de Villiers, who registered a well-made half-century, with a sharp take from Hayden in the gully. Ashwell Prince arrived as the replacement and played soundly until Warne sparked a detrimental change in his outlook.The 56-run partnership with Kallis ended when Prince charged Warne on 33 and miscued a legside flick. He left to a mock compliment from Warne, who had picked up his Prince for the tenth time. Warne improved the more he toiled and deceived Jacques Rudolph in the second session before watching the fast men blaze with the new ball. In a bowler’s match Lee unleashed the finest spell and South Africa must at least match him if they are to remain in contention for the Test and the series.

On his innings
I’m happy with my performance. I played well, so did the team. We mustuse this opportunity to put up a big total on the board. A score of500-plus will be a good target.This was one of my best innings because of the circumstances. This isa crucial Test, and I walked out to bat when the score was 7 for 2.The team needed me to stay at the crease, and see out the new ball.329 [his highest score] is far away, but I will try to add more runstomorrow.On the pitch
It’s a good pitch for batting. The bowlers will have to work very hardto take wickets. It was a good toss to win, because the pitch mighthelp the spinners on the fourth and fifth days.On the conditions
It was very hot. I was cramping after tea, but the physio gave me somemedicines and I recovered. It was very important to concentrate onevery ball, because for a batsman, one ball is enough to get you out.On Younis Khan’s innings
Younis played a better innings than me. This was his second century intwo Tests, and the team needs this kind of consistency andresponsibility.On the altercation between Younis and Harbhajan Singh
They were chatting.On the second day
We won’t make the same mistake as we did in Kolkata. [Younis andYousuf Youhana had made unbeaten centuries on the second day, butPakistan had collapsed on the third.] We will carry on from here andput up a big score.

50 overs Australia 262 for 6 (Gilchrist 66, Ponting 58; Muralitharan 2-30) beat Sri Lanka 178 all out (Jayawardene 61, Sangakkara 58; Hogg 5-41) by 84 runs
Scorecard

Sydney or Dambulla, fast pitch or slow turner, pace bowler or spinner,Australia appear to care little. Despite unfamiliar conditions and an indifferent, much-talked, record on the subcontinent, it was very much businessas usual for Australia in their opening match against Sri Lanka on Fridayevening: their batsmen rattled up 262 for 6, a record score at Dambulla,their fielders hit the stumps, and their bowlers proved far too mean andpenetrative.Sri Lanka threatened briefly thanks to a valiant 121-run stand for thefourth wicket between Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, but their twindeparture in the space of seven balls triggered a spectacular collapse. BradHogg snapped up five wickets for 41 runs, career-best figures, as Sri Lanka threw away their last five wickets for 12 runs to lose by 84.Australia controlled the match from the time Ricky Ponting won the toss andelected to bat first. This helped them avoid three-and-half-hours inscorching 35 C heat, and gave them best use of a slow pitch. AdamGilchrist (66) and Matthew Hayden (40) capitalised fully, adding 104 from110 balls for the first wicket, their 11th century stand together.As expected, Sri Lanka quickly turned to their spinners – their seamers onlybowled six overs in the innings – but Gilchrist and Hayden, after a brieflull, were soon ticking along comfortably. Gilchrist, who rushed to his 37th fifty from just 44 balls, was the more aggressive, unafraid to take the aerialroute against the slower bowlers.Upul Chandana, who finished up with 2 for 47 from his 10 overs, brought Sri Lanka back into the game as Gilchrist danced down the wicket and skeweda catch to Marvan Atapattu at cover. Moments later, Atapattu was back inaction with a diving, underarm flick to run out Mathew Hayden (114 for 2).Had Jayasuriya been able to gather a wayward return at the non-striker’s endwith Ponting, on 13, still struggling to regain his ground, Sri Lanka mighthave pulled themselves right back into the game. But Ponting and DamienMartyn settled and consolidated. Patiently, they milked 75 runs from 101 balls.Chandana once again provided the breathrough after returning for a secondspell. Martyn poked back a return catch and Chandana, tumbling aroundPonting’s bootstraps, snaffled the chance on the second attempt. Pontingdeparted soon after, lofting a catch to long-on (207 for 4).

With Muttiah Muralitharan grabbing a couple of wickets – he finished with 2for 30 and troubled all the batsmen, especially with his wrong ‘un – SriLanka kept the lid on the Australian innings during the later stages, untilthe final over when Andrew Symonds cut loose, flogging three foursand a six over long-on off Jayasuriya to finish with 37 from 20 balls.Sri Lanka needed a good start, preferably one of their turbo-chargedspecialities. But Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharana were both run out in thespace of four deliveries to leave them in dire trouble. Jayasuriyastarted the slide with a sloppy blind turn for two that belied the experience of 309 caps – a Sri Lankan record, surpassing Aravinda de Silva. Kaluwitharana followed next over as Atapattu unwisely gambled on Ponting’s arm from cover (13 for 2).It got worse for Sri Lanka as Atapattu, pushing forward tentatively, wasdeceived by some late movement and clean bowled by Jason Gillespie, whobowled a probing and economical spell with the new ball (6-2-14-1).The near-capacity crowd, many of who had sneaked off work for the weekendand traveled up from Colombo, were quiet and apparently resigned todefeat. But gradually, Sangakkara and Jayawardene repaired the early damageand built up some momentum against Australia’s second-string bowlers.Sangakkara reached his 10th fifty off 75 balls, and Jayawardene, forced tobat with a runner because of leg cramps, passed fifty for the 19th time soon after as Sri Lanka reached the final 20 overs needing 133 for victory.However, Brett Lee returned to the attack and choose an opportune time toclaim his 150th wicket in one-dayers, as Sangakkara feathered a catch behind (145 for 4). Minutes later, Jaywardene also departed as he edged a well-flighted offbreak onto his stumps to leave Sri Lanka pinned back on the ropes (147 for 5).With the run rate spiralling out of control – they needed 97 from the final 10 overs – wickets tumbled: Chandana (9), somewhat unfortunately, was trapped lbw; Vaas (0) edged to slip; Kumar Dharmasena (0) was stumped; Nuwan Kulasekera (0) was bowled and Muralitharan was brilliantly caught in the deep by Lee diving forward. By then, the stuffing had long since been knocked out of the Sri Lankans by an Australian team that just can’t stop winning.

New Zealand have once again pulled their World Cup rabbit out of the hat by beating the tournament hosts South Africa. New Zealand are so far the most improved team of the tournament in the PwC Ratings. Yet they remain a team that is short of consistent individual stars in the one-day game, with Stephen Fleming now their highest rated batsman in 21st place thanks to his century today, while of their bowlers who played at the Wanderers Andre Adams tops the list in 26th place, followed by Shane Bond in 30th.Barring freak results elsewhere, South Africa now have to win their remaining three games, culminating in the match on March 3rd when they need to overcome Sri Lanka, who boast the current number one PwC batsman and bowler in Jayasuriya and Muralitharan. It will be little consolation to the South Africans that Herschelle Gibbs is now third in the PwC batting table, his best ever level in the ratings.Meanwhile the favourites, Australia, look unbeatable even without Shane Warne. Gillespie has climbed to fifth in the bowling, his best ODI level to date, with Brett Lee close behind. Matthew Hayden remains the top rated Aussie batsman, just a few points behind Jayasuriya.More details at: www.cricketratings.com

Recovering from a seemingly hopeless situation, North Zone defeatedCentral Zone by two wickets in a group B match of the inter-academycricket tournament for the Col. Hemu Adhikari Trophy in Bangalore onSaturday. North, Central and West, the three teams in the group allended with one win and one defeat each. But on better run rate, Westqualified to meet East in the final on Monday.Electing to bat, Central Zone scored 205 for eight in 47 overs. Rainin the morning shortened the duration of the game. Opener AV Mann wasthe mainstay with a valuable 85. He faced 126 balls and hit six fours.He was involved in two fruitful partnerships. First, with M Mishra(28) he added 59 runs for the second wicket off 16.4 overs. Then withwicketkeeper NV Ojha (33) he put on 61 runs for the sixth wicket off5.4 overs. Mann was seventh out at 199 in the 46th over while Ojha hittwo fours and a six in facing only 23 balls. Kunal Lal and AbishekSharma took three wickets each for 35 and 43 runs respectively.Medium pacer Devendra Singh pushed North Zone on to the backfoot witha fine spell. He took three wickets and at 12 for five, North Zonewere tottering. Then commenced the fightback. P Dogra (47) and skipperK Rawat (92) added 135 runs for the sixth wicket off 28 overs. Thenafter both batsmen fell in quick succession, wicketkeeper H Khullar(18) and Abhishek Sharma (26 not out) added 35 runs for the eighthwicket off five overs to take North Zone to the doorstep of victorywhich was finally achieved with 2.4 overs to spare.

David Warner, Mitchell Johnson, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Coulter-Nile will return to the Australian team fold at a Test team training camp in Hurstville, to Sydney’s south, after being absent from the touring party for the postponed trip to Bangladesh.Vice-captain Warner and the trio of fast men will join 15 others for two days of centre-wicket training and a range of other drills, devised to keep players of national interest in decent trim ahead of a looming Test assignment against New Zealand in November. James Faulkner has also been included in the group after he missed the ODIs in England as the penalty for a drink-driving offence incurred while playing for Lancashire during the northern summer.”Spending some time in England with the moving ball over there in foreign conditions, hopefully can hold my game in good shape,” Faulkner said. “I definitely learned a hell of a lot over there in those conditions. It’s probably a bit different over here, there’s not as much swing, or reverse swing, so we’ll see how we go. I’ll prepare like I normally do and try to get runs and wickets like every other player.”Johnson and Hazlewood had been scratched quite early from plans for Bangladesh as the national selectors and fitness staff had decided they needed something like a full pre-season ahead of the home summer, rather than being tided over from the Ashes to take part in Bangladesh.They were joined on the sidelines by Warner and Coulter-Nile when the duo suffered injuries during Australia’s successful ODI series in England that followed defeat in the Ashes.The selectors and the captain Steven Smith have flagged that the selection for the first match against New Zealand at the Gabba – which starts from November 5 – is likely to result in a team some distance removed from the squad chosen for the subcontinent. However all members of the Bangladesh tour party have been included in the training group.”Different conditions, you’re not going to have two spinners at the Gabba,” the selector Mark Waugh said after the tour was postponed. “So, there are some guys who were picked on that tour who are going to be shuffled down the order a little bit, but you can’t do anything about it.”At least their names are there … they got picked on an Australian tour so they can take comfort from the fact that they’re definitely in the reckoning. The real thing is it’s going to be a different eleven for the first Test in Brisbane to what would have been picked in Bangladesh.”These players include Cameron Bancroft and Joe Burns, thought to be vying for the opening spot vacated by the retired Chris Rogers, plus Andrew Fekete, Steve O’Keefe and Usman Khawaja.Red-ball camp squad: Steve Smith, David Warner, Cameron Bancroft, Joe Burns, Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Faulkner, Andrew Fekete, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Johnson, Usman Khawaja, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Peter Nevill, Steve O’Keefe, Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Adam Voges
