Pakistan's Azhar says India clash 'just another game'

Posted:

BIRMINGHAM (AFP) - Pakistan batsman Azhar Ali has insisted his side will treat their Champions Trophy (CT) opener against title-holders India in Birmingham on Sunday as just another game.Politics in both countries means the Asian giants, arguably crickets fiercest rivals, now rarely meet outside of International Cricket Council events.Such is the global and commercial appeal of the fixture, the ICC has effectively admitted to doctoring the draw to make sure the teams are paired together in the group phase of major tournaments rather than run the risk of them not meeting later on.For all the anticipation surrounding their latest clash, Azhar told reporters at Edgbaston on Wednesday: Its just another game.I think when the game starts it looks quite normal. The players play as per the situation and professional players are like that without worrying about anything else, he added.Pakistan, who upset the odds to draw a Test series in England last year, have already been in Birmingham for two weeks in preparation for their bid to win the Champions Trophy, a tournament featuring the worlds top eight one-day international teams.Birmingham boasts one of the largest Asian populations in Britain and a vibrant, sell-out crowd is expected on Sunday.A game between Pakistan and India is always good and Birmingham has always had a very good atmosphere, said Azhar.A former captain of the Pakistan ODI side, Azhars tally of 1,605 runs in 45 matches at an average of over 38 would once have been respectable enough.But in age of ever more aggressive batting and ever higher strike rates, his figures look old-fashioned -- a criticism that has been made of Pakistans overall approach to white-ball cricket as its now played.We have worked on that, said the 32-year-old Azhar, recalled for the Champions Trophy.We know that the game has gone quite a long way and we have had some good results in the recent past, so we will do our best to match that. Obviously we have to go a long way. We would love to play at the same pace.Swing bowling could play a key role in deciding the destiny of the Champions Trophy, particularly if conditions are overcast.One concern for Pakistan is that Wahab Riaz, one of their most experienced pacemen, has been struggling with a left knee injury.The left-arm quick did bowl during training on Wednesday, but not at full tilt.Nevertheless, Azhar said: Wahab has recovered well so we have no doubt that he will be fit to play. Its international cricket and you have to be 100 percent fit. He has practised today so we are hoping that by the time the first match comes he will be able to play.

Australia's 'fearsome foursome' ready for New Zealand

Posted:

LONDON (AFP) - Australia must decide whether to unleash all of their fearsome foursome of Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and James Pattinson in their Champions Trophy opener against New Zealand on Friday.Injuries have meant the quartet of fast bowlers have rarely all been fit at the same time and, even now, Australia may decide its too much of a risk fielding all four in the same team, with John Hastings -- who has plenty of English county experience -- also in the squad.For Cummins, whose career has been blighted by several back stress fractures, just being in contention again is something of a relief.The 24-year-old made his international debut in 2011, yet the fact hes played just three Tests and 28 one-day internationals since then is testament to how much time Cummins has spent on the treatment table.But he now believes his body can withstand the rigours of international cricket.I now feel that because Im a couple of years older, and because I had a full off-season at pretty low intensity, my body was a bit more hardened than it used to be when I did come back, Cummins explained.Left-arm fast bowler Starc, arguably the worlds leading yorker bowler, has recovered from a foot injury that cut short his tour of India, while Pattinson has returned from shin and back problems.The original 1970s West Indies fearsome foursome of Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Colin Croft and Joel Garner paved the way for a succession of Caribbean pace attacks that dominated world cricket for some 20 years.Now Australia hope they have a potent quartet of their own, with coach Darren Lehmann saying: It would be great to see them go at it and see how they go.Australia also boast one of the most powerful top orders in ODI cricket, with captain Steve Smith and opener David Warner outstanding batsmen in all formats.They could add extra firepower by including Chris Lynn, who shot to worldwide prominence earlier this year with a sensational Indian Premier League campaign, averaging nearly 50 for the Kolkata Knight Riders.New Zealand beat Australia in a thrilling pool match in Auckland at the 2015 World Cup only to lose to their trans-Tasman rivals in the final in Melbourne.Fridays encounter at Birminghams Edgbaston ground is set to feature several survivors, with New Zealand captain Kane Williamson having cemented his place as one of the worlds best batsmen in the intervening two years.Blacks pacemen Tim Southee and Trent Boult are proven performers in England, but Southee said: We know the conditions, but you cant rely on that.The wickets over here are pretty good, and the bowlers are going to have to be at the very top of their game as a result.This latest trans-Tasman clash takes place against the backdrop of a bitter pay dispute between Cricket Australia and their players.Asked if winning the Champions Trophy would bolster the players cause, Smith said: I think, if we win, almost certainly it would be really good for the playing group. Were sticking really strong together.Were backing what the ACA (Australian Cricketers Association) is doing back home.It was in Birmingham four years ago where Australias campaign at the last Champions Trophy foundered, on and off the field.An Edgbaston defeat by England in their opening game was followed by Warner punching England batsman Joe Root in an altercation in a Birmingham bar in the early hours of the next morning -- a clash that saw Australia suspend Warner from the opening two Tests of that years Ashes.

Brazil recession recedes but outlook still dark

Posted:

RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) - Brazil started to emerge from its worst ever recession in the first quarter, officials and analysts said Thursday, but it may not be out of the woods yet with a weak economic recovery threatened by political turmoil.The economy grew by one percent in the first quarter of 2017, ending eight consecutive quarters of shrinkage, the state statistics office said.That offered a glimmer of light for Latin Americas biggest economy -- and could throw a lifeline to President Michel Temer as he tries to fend off a huge corruption scandal.But data from the IBGE statistics bureau put the good news in its dismal context: the first quarters GDP was down 0.4 percent compared to the same period in 2016.Finance Minister Henrique Mereilles called it a historic day after Brazils worst recession in a century that has seen millions lose their jobs.There is still some way to go to achieve a full economic recovery, but we are heading in the right direction, he said in a statement.- Stop-start recovery -=========================Overall in 2015 and 2016, the economy dropped a whopping 3.8 percent, then 3.6 percent.Brazil has finally exited recession, but the recovery will be stop-start, wrote analyst Neil Shearing of research group Capital Economics, in a note on Thursday.He warned of the risk of weaker growth in the second quarter -- and thats before the full effects of the latest political crisis are felt.Economist Mauro Rochlin at Brazils Getulio Vargas Foundation told AFP the recession cannot be considered to be over until a second quarter of growth is registered.He said the economy had sunk so low that businesses had got a boost from falling wages. He saw a trend towards recovery, but with still quite a narrow base.- Farming boost -=================The first-quarter bounce was led by a surge from Brazils giant agro-industry, up 13.4 percent. The industrial sector grew 0.9 percent.Services were flat and while that was an improvement on negative growth, it also signaled a lack of confidence by a public battered by unemployment and continuously falling family consumption.Economists say the patchy improvements in different sectors, and the risk that the next quarter will reverse the gains, make it too early to declare an end to the recession.But Temer, who faces a probe into alleged corruption and plotting to silence a witness, will likely trumpet the news as proof of his successful management -- and reason for him to remain in power.- Austerity and scandal -=========================The conservative president has already repeatedly declared an end to the recession, citing forecasts predicting 2017 will close with about 0.5 percent growth.Temer is pushing austerity reforms to impose fiscal discipline -- unpopular with ordinary Brazilians but backed by the markets.Temer argues that any move to remove him from office would doom the effort and plunge Brazil into new instability.There was another piece of good news on Wednesday, when unemployment figures showed a slight dip to 13.6 percent rather than yet another record rise. It was the first fall in unemployment figures since 2014.Even so, 14 million people officially remain without jobs.Later on Wednesday, the Central Bank lowered its key interest rate further by one full percent.The fragile recovery may now depend as much on politics as economics. Temer came into office just over a year ago, when the leftist president Dilma Rousseff was impeached for breaking government accounting rules.He promised stability and a return to economic health by the end of 2018, when his mandate ends. However, Temer now finds himself facing far more serious allegations than Rousseff ever did.

Putin, Modi talk up trade at Russia's economic showcase

Posted:

SAINT PETERSBURG (AFP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian premier Narendra Modi looked to bolster declining trade Thursday, as the defiant Russian strongman sought to burnish a fragile recovery at the Kremlins economic showcase despite tensions with the West.Among the deals Modi and Putin oversaw on the third leg of the Indian leaders four-nation tour of Europe was the inking of an agreement for Moscow to build two more reactors at a nuclear plant in southern India.Modi is the guest of honour at this years three-day Saint Petersburg Economic Forum -- Russias answer to Davos -- that Putin wants to use to push the idea that Russia has turned the page on a brutal recession caused by low oil prices and sanctions over Ukraine.Speaking to journalists as the showcase kicked off, the combative Kremlin strongman insisted that measures against Moscow, including economic sanctions, had ended up having zero effect.Putin said he hoped Russophobia in the West would not last for too long, not forever, if only because the understanding has to come that it is counterproductive and harms everyone.He again struck out at allegations the Russian state was behind hacking attacks targeting elections in the West after accusations he meddled in the last years US vote but did hold out the possibility that patriotically minded hackers might have been involved.If they are patriotically minded, they start making their own contribution which they deem right in the fight against those who demean Russia, he said.Theoretically this is possible. But we are not involved at the state level.India tiesFor the Kremlin, India represents the sort of major emerging market it wants to do more business with as it looks to insulate itself against geopolitical shocks with the unpredictable Donald Trump in the White House.Russian-Indian economic cooperation is once again heading in the direction of growth and it is in our shared interests to strengthen this positive tendency, Putin said at a joint press conference with Modi.Russia and India enjoyed a decades-long alliance forged during the Cold War, when the Soviet Union was New Delhis largest trading partner, diplomatic ally and main arms supplier, providing everything from tanks to aircraft.But the relationship became unmoored following the collapse of the USSR, as India underwent an economic transformation and increasingly sought to build trade ties with Western nations.US businesses back?While India is occupying pole position at the forum, other visiting international leaders include UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern.Bosses from Chevron, Exxon and Boeing are among 144 US firms at the event, the best attendance in years after Washington previously warned business leaders against attending due to political tensions.While Russia is talking up its recovery, the situation remains precarious and attention will also focus on talk of much-needed reforms to modernise its creaking economy.But analysts warned that with Putin likely to bid for another term as president in elections next year there are unlikely to be any radical changes.Structural changes are necessary but to put them into action is not easy, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said.

Canada nurse pleads guilty to serial murders of seniors

Posted:

OTTAWA (AFP) - A former nurse pleaded guilty Thursday to the killing of eight elderly residents under her care at Canadian retirement homes, closing one of the worst serial murder cases in the nations history.Elizabeth Wettlaufer, shackled in a prisoner box inside a packed courtroom, answered simply yes when a judge asked if she had committed the premeditated murders.She also admitted to four other attempted murders and two assaults.The court heard that Wettlaufer had been suffering from extreme anger over her job and life.She put to rest speculation that she had acted on behalf of the patients, saying her victims did not consent to being administered insulin overdoses.Canada legalized doctor-assisted suicide four months before Wettlaufers arrest in October 2016.The short, stout and bespectacled 49-year-old now faces life in prison.The killings of the eight men and women aged 75 to 96 occurred between 2007 and 2014 at two care facilities in Ontario province where Wettlaufer worked, often in charge of night shifts.The case came to light only after she had confessed in online postings and then to a psychiatrist who tipped off police.She had been a registered nurse since 1995 but surrendered her medical license just prior to her arrest.The daughter of one of the victims told local media that her mother suffered from Alzheimers and was in a coma shortly before her death.Others expressed shock at the news.My dad got murdered, the daughter of one of the victims told public broadcaster CBC. When am I just going to pop out of this and say, Hey, this is a great day? Never. This is going to be with me forever.

England beat Bangladesh by eight wickets as Eoin Morgan stayed not out on 75 while brilliant J Root on 133 runs to finish things off in style.Overs 45, Score 274/2Both Morgan and Root seemed to be ideal mates for such sort of situations and rightly so because of such fine career averages under their belt, the target seemed to be an easy one for both of them at this stage.The dangerous Morgan took charge in the forty first over as he hammered one away towards long-on that sailed along into the stands for a maximum. On the very next ball, Morgan cut delicately towards backward point that squirts away for four more while creating more frustrations for the Bangladesh side.The match seemed to be slipping away of the Bangladesh’s hands at this stage.Rubel Hossain came into ball and bowled rather a brilliant over at this stage of the game while conceding just two runs in the 42nd over.Meanwhile, Root reached to his well-deserved hundred in the 43rd over and which turned out to be the decisive innings of the match. Morgan took the charge once more however the bowler this time was opponent’s skipper Mashrafe Mortaza as two consecutive boundaries came this time and fetching 12 runs henceforth.Mustafizur Rahman bowled yet another good over as only five runs came of the forty fifth over however the breakthrough couldn’t be provided.Root joined the party as a six and a boundary was scored in Rubel Hossain’s over and which made rather the equation easier for England.Overs 40, Score 231/2With 102 runs required of the last fifteen overs and eight wickets in hand, England were in commanding position as Eoin Morgan and Root were playing shots all around the wicket.The per-ball innings of Eoin Morgan was turning out to be a decisive factor at this point of the game as he took the charge in Mashrafe Mortaza’s over and placed a brilliant shot towards deep backward square for a boundary.Mustafizur Rahman was brought to the attack as the skipper seemed to have been trying out all the options to break the partnership that was creating more and more frustrations for Bangladesh.Mustafizur Rahman bowled rather a good over as only five runs came of it however was not been able to provide the Bangladesh side with the necessary breakthrough.In the next over, Mashrafe Mortaza went for a boundary of the first ball, however came back strongly as only 5 runs came of his over as well. Equation was straight forward as 75 runs were needed of 60 balls with 8 wickets in hand for England.Overs 35, Score 204/2The coolest thing about Root is that he carries along with style while putting bad deliveries to boundaries and at the same time, tickling the scoreboard. This time again, he was proving to be a pillar that won’t shake till the very end.The skipper took charge once again in the thirty third over bowled by Rubel Hossain as pulled one firmly wide of mid-on for a delicate boundary. In the next over of Mosaddek Hossain, Morgan played brilliantly while launching one towards deep midwicket for four more and thus putting pressure on Bangladesh side in the process of doing so.Shakib came to bowl in 35th over as five runs came of his over with England 204 for the loss of two wickets just fifteen over before the end of the match.Overs 30, Score 177/2England were in commanding position at the half-way stage as they required 168 runs required from 25 overs with nine wickets in hand. The dangerous Alex Hales yet again decided to take charge in Rubel Hussain’s over while lofting one away for a boundary.Mustafizur Rahman bowled rather a good over as he didn’t provide an opportunity to English batsmen and gave away just 5 runs in the twenty seventh over.Alex Hales seemed to be in mood as he decided to take charge in Sabbir Rahman’s over while thumping him away for a boundary and immediately followed by a huge six over long-on.

First he was swept away for a boundary behind square while on the very next ball, lofted straight through the line to clear long-off boundary for a huge maximum.A total of 15 runs came of the twenty second over. The next three overs were rather good for Bangladesh side as no boundary was scored.Meanwhile, Root was pursuing along in his own style as both these batsmen were carrying away the match from Bangladesh’s hands.Overs 20, Score 110/1 While chasing the target of 306 runs to win, the English team was puzzled by the experience of Mashrafe Mortaza who struck early in third over of the innings while removing Jason Roy who was caught by Mustafizur Rahman after scoring 1 runs.English openers seemed to be in a bit trouble as 13 runs came of the first four overs. Some sort of punishment was provided by Alex Hales as he thumped two boundaries in the fifth over bowled by Mashrafe Mortaza.Both Hales and Root carried along after the early blow as they put bad deliveries to boundaries while at the same time rotating the strike.
