India’s prospects in the Hockey World Cup suffered a setback as the hosts went down 2-5 to Spain in their crucial Pool B match at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here Thursday.
Olympics silver medallists Spain scored their first goal through Albert Sala (19th minute) while skipper Pol Amat (35th) added to the tally just at the stroke of first half. Sandeep Singh (39th) converted a penalty corner at the start of second half but Spain immediately struck in quick succession through Pau Quemada (41st) and Roc Oliva (42nd) to stretch the lead.
Gurwinder Singh Chandi (43rd) narrowed the margin before Quemada (67th) slotted home another penalty corner to take the match away from India.

The injury-laden West Indies team seems to be going the Pakistan way as they lost their first two games in the ODI series to be down 0-2. And with the third game of the series to be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground, and the captain Chris Gayle accepting that he has become Doug Bollinger’s bunny, life could not get tougher for the tourists.
Gayle may dream of a 3-2 result from this stage but the truth of the matter is that he does not possess the ammunition for the same. In fact, he will be lucky to win even one game in the series, and despite the rest afforded to Shane Watson and Brad Haddin, the West Indian side cannot expect the game to be theirs for the taking.

After the crushing loss in the Sydney ODI, few people would bet on Pakistan pulling off a reversal. Their performance in the first two ODIs doesn’t inspire confidence that they can compete with Australia, and the form book going into the 3rd ODI at Adelaide clearly points to an Australian win.
While the U-19 team has been making waves by reaching the World Cup final in New Zealand, the senior team has not performed up to the standards, thus probably justifying their IPL snub. However, Pakistan is renowned for one thing: unpredictability.

Australia are clearly in the driver’s seat now. Ponting and Clarke started in an aggressive fashion today and continued to flay the Pakistani attack, until Clarke departed for 166, his highest score in Tests. Ponting then completed his 5th double century to help them to a huge total of 519.
Replying to the mammoth total, Pakistan started steadily, but lost wickets at regular intervals, including two disasterous run-outs towards the end of the day. They still trail by 425 runs and their batsmen must show lot of application to avoid the follow-on tomorrow.
Pakistan ended up in a commanding position over Australia on the second day of the Sydney Test, taking a first innings lead of 204 runs with a wicket in hand.
The visiting batsman performed with far more circumspection than their opponents had done, before a late batting collapse restricted their tally to 9-331.
Earlier, resuming the day at 14 without any loss in reply to Australia’s 127 runs, Pakistan openers Imran Farhat (53) and Salman Butt (71) had a 109 run partnership for the first wicket before the middle order continued to grind away to 205-2.
Stuart Clark did the spadework and David Warner then set the tone of the chase as New South Wales crushed Somerset by six wickets with 8.1 overs to spare to book a semifinal berth in the Champions League Twenty20 here on Saturday.
Clark (3/15) and his bowling colleagues first restricted Somerset to an unflattering 111 for seven and Warner (40 off 16 balls) then came down hard on the English side as NSW cruised to 112 in 11.5 overs, losing four wickets and recording a thumping victory that earned them a semifinal berth.
Chasing the modest target, the Australian team was off to a flying start with Warner cracking six boundaries and two huge sixers during his brief stay as the first five overs yielded 57 runs.
NSW suffered the first loss when Warner, who started on an attacking note by hitting two fours off Charl Willoughby (1/30) in the opening over, fell to Omari Banks (1/28) in the fifth over.
The current Champions trophy will be played between eight teams and each team is divided into two groups. India, Pakistan, Australia and West Indies are in Group A while South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and England are in group B.

Australia fast bowler Brett Lee has a good chance of being fit for the fourth Ashes Test, captain Ricky Ponting said on Monday.
Lee has missed the first three matches of the series with a rib injury and with the touring side trailing 1-0 his experience could be a huge bonus in the match at Headingley starting on Friday.
“I`d expect Brett to be able to bowl,” Ponting told a news conference after the third Test ended in a draw on Monday.
“He`s been pretty keen to get out and bowl over the past few days so we`ll keep an eye on him and it would be great to have him available.”
