De Villiers’ run-out my fault – du Plessis

De Villiers’ run-out my fault – du Plessis

As soon as he dabbed Ravindra Jadeja towards point, Faf du Plessis set off immediately, saying “yes”, signalling partner AB de Villiers for a single. Hardik Pandya swiftly sent the throw down to MS Dhoni, who brushed off the bails even as de Villiers threw himself forward to complete the run.

Five balls later, du Plessis found was involved in another run-out – this time with David Miller. Both batsmen found themselves at the same end after du Plessis responded to Miller’s call for a single, but quickly turned back to make his crease, leaving his partner in an embarrassing position. Those two run-outs were the “turning points” of the match which South Africa went on to lose by eight wickets, according to India captain Virat Kohli.

Du Plessis was apologetic after the defeat and owned up to the fact that his call for a run with de Villiers was not wise. “I take full responsibility for AB’s run-out,” du Plessis said at the media briefing. “That’s my fault. Obviously he [de Villiers] is a big player for us and he was looking good and it was a crunch time in the game. Big mistake from my part running AB out.”

Asked if he ventured running for a single that another batsman would, perhaps, avoid, de Villiers said he simply responded to du Plessis’ call. “You see, I just tried to take a one with my partner out there and it didn’t work. I wasn’t searching for runs, I wasn’t even facing. So I wouldn’t say it like that. There was a call out there, and I thought we could get through for the one.”

According to du Plessis, India’s bowlers and fielders were mounting pressure quickly and with The Oval packed with fans, mostly Indian supporters, it was difficult to hear the calls in the cacophony. He conceded, however, that nothing could absolve him of his “error in judgment” which resulted in de Villiers’ wicket.

“I suppose, after that moment, Dave [Miller] came in and we discussed that it is extremely loud out there and difficult to hear each other so the communication between the two of us was just for the next five overs, just play it as risk free as possible. Try and get the partnership going in, settle the partnership because the last thing you want to do is go wicket, wicket,” he said. “And then two or three balls later, obviously a miscommunication, and then Dave came down and ran. Not a great sight to see two guys standing in the crease.”

Du Plessis said the run-outs distracted him from trying to focus on batting. Failing to read a slower ball from Pandya, du Plessis chopped on and lost his off stump for 36 runs. Within five overs, South Africa’s three most dangerous batsmen were back in the dressing room.

Du Plessis summed up the day as an “average” one for South Africa and gave credit to India to force the mistakes. “That five overs, in a game like today, five overs like that is very, very big,” du Plessis said. “You either settle and get through the pressure. Or you absorb it or you don’t and we didn’t absorb those five overs. I thought India bowled well in the first 10 overs, there was an opportunity there for us to maybe put them under pressure which we didn’t do. It was a day where possibly India dominated us in all aspects and it shouldn’t happen.”

He also pointed out that no amount of experience counts in such moments. “When India were batting they took the pressure, created momentum and then just ran with it. We had a similar opportunity where it was needed for someone, or, two guys to just put the pressure back on the Indian team and you run with it. We didn’t do that today. They put us under pressure and we made mistakes and we couldn’t get out of it.”

According to Kohli, India were confident of restricting South Africa to a modest target once they had sent back de Villiers and du Plessis. “I think his [de Villiers’] run-out could be the turning point. And David Miller’s [too]. He is a very dangerous player as well. They can drag the team up to 260, 270 from any sort of situations. Those two run-outs were the turning point today.”

Meticulous Bhuvneshwar sends South Africa packing

Meticulous Bhuvneshwar sends South Africa packing

Bhuvneshwar Kumar Singh

Star turn

Bhuvneshwar Kumar relishes playing on English soil. He had a significant hand in India lifting the Champions Trophy in 2013, taking six wickets in five matches, averaging 22.83 and giving away just 3.91 an over. A year later, he was India’s player of the series for his 247 runs and 19 wickets, even as his team were routed 3-1 in the Pataudi Trophy.

Given his ability to find prodigious swing, Bhuvneshwar was always going to be integral to India’s chances of defending their title. He came into the tournament with a bagful of wickets from the IPL and an enhanced reputation as a death bowler. In India’s tournament opener, he sent down an economical opening spell and broke through for India to set up their 124-run rout of Pakistan. Likewise, he struck early against Sri Lanka, and though they bossed a chase of 322, he still finished his 10 overs having gone at under six.

On Sunday, with India facing a must-win, Bhuvneshwar tied down a powerful South African order with a meticulous opening spell that was underpinned by immaculate lines. He gave the South African batsmen next to no width outside the off stump. His straight length balls meant Quinton de Kock was fed nothing to his strengths through the covers or square of the wicket. It left the South African openers to drive on the up or go for the harder option of dragging deliveries from outside off through the leg side. So accurate was Bhuvneshwar that Virat Kohli was able to afford Test-match fields. By the time he ended his opening spell of five overs, only 12 deliveries had been scored off and one boundary conceded.

With Jasprit Bumrah, too, proving to be equally potent at the other end, South Africa were limited to 35 in the first Powerplay. Their innings never quite gathered steam thereafter, and it meant that when Bhuvneshwar came back for his second spell, at the end of the 39th over, South Africa were hobbling at 175 for 6. He made sure the choke was maintained with a three-run over. Two overs later, he produced a couple of away-swingers to send back Kagiso Rabada and Morne Morkel off successive balls. South Africa were nine down and were soon sent packing for an underwhelming total.

The wow moment

Bumrah was ready to bowl the 43rd over when Kohli made a late decision to throw the ball to Bhuvneshwar. The change of ends worked almost immediately as Bhuvneshwar picked his first wicket with the second delivery of the over. It was a delivery that had wicket written all over it – on a length, pitching on middle, forcing the batsman to play at it and finding just enough lateral movement to kiss the outside edge of Rabada’s bat. MS Dhoni was equally sharp behind the stumps, diving forward to complete the catch with the ball dying on him.

Stats that matter

Bhuvneshwar is India’s most economical bowler this tournament, going at 4.44 an over, and it was the same today with a rate of 3.06.
Bhuvneshwar now has 11 wickets against South Africa in eight ODIs – his best against any team.

Dravid asks BCCI for clarity on conflict of interest

Dravid asks BCCI for clarity on conflict of interest

The Committee of Administrators supervising the functioning of the BCCI will discuss issues of conflict of interest in Indian cricket, and specifically the role of Rahul Dravid, who has taken strong exception to the suggestion that he had been granted preferential terms to coach India’s junior teams while being a mentor to Delhi Daredevils in the IPL.

The matter was precipitated by a stinging resignation letter from Ramachandra Guha, who gave up his position in the CoA because of what he perceived as inaction from his colleagues against conflicts of interest in Indian cricket. While Guha didn’t directly name Dravid, he contended that it was “contrary to the spirit of the Lodha Committee” for coaches or support staff of India’s senior and junior teams, or staff at the NCA, to have IPL contracts.

When Rahul Dravid took over as coach of India’s junior teams in June 2015, he had asked the BCCI whether his involvement with an IPL team would be an issue. According to a BCCI source, Dravid was told there were precedents in Sanjay Bangar and R Sridhar also holding dual roles, and Dravid had consulted with lawyers, who assured him the arrangement wasn’t in contravention with the BCCI’s conflict-of-interest rules.

“It’s 10 months for BCCI work and two months for the IPL,” the BCCI official said. “Dravid’s contract is no different to anyone else’s. It is not like he has got a special dispensation.

“The debate over whether it is a conflict or not is a completely different issue. There are very good cases on both sides and it is up to the people in power to decide what works for them and what they feel and clarify that.”

In the BCCI’s current arrangement, coaches and support staff of India’s senior and junior teams are given ten-month contracts that run until the end of March. They are then free to sign a two-month deal in the IPL. Apart from Dravid, India’s fielding coach R Sridhar is involved with Kings XI Punjab in the IPL while Andrew Leipus, the chief physio at the National Cricket Academy, works with Kolkata Knight Riders.

Dravid had not made a public response until now, and he confirmed sending a letter to the CoA to explain his position. He was categorical in saying that he had abided by the prevailing conflict-of-interest regulations, and that there was a need for greater clarity on rule changes, if any.

“Yes, I have written to the CoA explaining my position and explaining the background against which this perceived conflict of interest has happened,” Dravid told ESPNcricinfo. “By the BCCI’s conflict of interest rules, I was absolutely not under a conflict of interest. If the rules have changed midway through the contract, then I think it is unfair to criticise me for breaking the rules or twisting the rules to suit my convenience.

“My simple point is that, not only me but there are five or six of us who are in the same position. There needs to be clarity. If there is clarity, we will be in a position to take an informed decision. It is disappointing the way this got played out in the public without much understanding of the background.”

The CoA, while discussing a fresh contract for Dravid, is looking to put in place a broad framework to address conflict-of-interest situations at its meeting on June 12. A BCCI official, however, said it wasn’t necessarily a reaction to Guha’s letter.

“It’s not that this has suddenly cropped up today. Nobody is against resolving any of these issues,” the official told ESPNcricinfo. “You have to do it in a holistic manner and that’s a work in progress. And certain things have a certain process. You will have to figure out what the right framework is. It is not a situation-specific thing. You need to develop a framework that addresses conflict based on principles.”

In firming up the rules, the official said, the availability of coaching talent had to be factored in as well. “That [increasing remunerations] is the point we are considering, in terms of increasing the contracts for Test players to the extent that it has to be something that is reasonable even if somebody does not get an IPL contract,” he said. “We have to think through what the framework is for coaches and support staff.

“There are pros and cons that need to be weighed appropriately and then a decision has to be made based on who’s available for these things. Not that there are unlimited number of people available or quality people available, so all that has to be kept in mind.”
