Sydney incident inspired win: Bhajji

New Delhi: India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh Tuesday said the incident in Sydney earlier this year inspired his side to the historic 2-0 thrashing of the Australians.
“I think the events in the Sydney Test match really hurt all of us. The things that they accused me of and their overall approach irked us as a team. I can safely say that the events at the Sydney Test match inspired this win,” he said.

Heroes in final

Calcutta: Hyderabad Heroes defeated Royal Bengal Tigers by three wickets in a second semi-final of the ICL 20-20 championship played on Tuesday night, says A Staff Reporter.

Vaughan named

London: Michael Vaughan will be part of the England Performance squad to tour India later this month, according to The Times, London. The former England captain has been named for the tour after he missed selection for the Test squad after a dip in form.

Pak tour

New Delhi: India’s tour of Pakistan in January next year looks in jeopardy as the security situation there is far from satisfactory. According to ministry of external affairs sources, the security situation in Pakistan is not conducive for the series. The Indian mission in Islamabad has submitted a report that clearly outlines the dangerous situation in the country, a news channel said on Tuesday.

Gayle’s view

Abu Dhabi: The West Indian captain Chris Gayle on Tuesday said fit-again paceman Shoaib Akhtar will be the key factor for Pakistan in the three-match series starting here from Wednesday.
“He (Akhtar) is always the key factor. He is a wicket-taking bowler,” Gayle said of Shoaib Akhtar.
