Rageb Aga, Kenya’s stand-in captain, has warned that nothing less than victory will do, as they prepare for their Intercontinental Cup semi-final clash against Scotland, which begins in the United Arab Emirates on November 17.”It is vital for the future of Kenya cricket,” said Aga, 20, who has been handed the captaincy in place of Hitesh Modi, who is getting married in London on the final day of the match. “It is important that Kenya shows its potential and does well. The bigger picture for Kenya is attaining Test status and winning this tournament will be astepping-stone towards achieving this goal.”Kenya’s preparations have been clouded in controversy, with several of the country’s leading players going on strike after a pay dispute with the Kenyan Cricket Association. But Aga is eager to put the unrest to one side. “We have a blend of youthful exuberance and experience,” he said of his squad. “We are a team willing to take up any challenge and a team willing to work for each other.”Kenya’s match against Scotland takes place at Abu Dhabi, while the other semi-final, Canada against UAE, is being held at Sharjah. The final will take place at Sharjah from November 21.
Keith Mitchell, Grenada’s prime minister, has suggested a “cooling-off period” between West Indies’ players and their cricket board in the ongoing dispute about endorsement contracts.”Some of the problems that are now emerging can be resolved with a cooling-off period during the holidays and during the tour,” he said on BBC World Service on Tuesday. “Then we will engage the private-sector bodies, both Cable & Wireless and Digicel, in the whole question of a final solution to the problems faced by the board and the players.” Mitchell would “offer some constructive solutions” to ensure the West Indies team’s imminent tour of Australia continues “without any disruption whatsoever”.Mitchell, who helped settle the initial stalemate in November, is set to meet officials from both the players’ association and the board today. Judge Adrian Saunders, the mediator in the dispute between the board and several of the players over contracts, will present his report at that meeting.

Sri Lanka have decided to rest five of their key players, including their captain Marvan Atapattu, for the fourth one-day international against Zimbabwe in Harare tomorrow. In Atapattu’s absence, Mahela Jayawardene will captain his country for the first time, but even with a second-string team at his disposal, defeat is inconceivable against a side that was bundled out for 35 in the third match on Sunday.Sanath Jayasuriya, Chaminda Vaas, Muttiah Muralitharan and Nuwan Zoysa have all been rested to give opportunities to the lesser names in the squad. The uncapped left-hander Thilina Kandamby, the fast bowler Nuwan Kulasekara and the legspinner Upul Chandana will all play.Vaas has been the star of the series so far. He has picked up successive Man-of-the-Match awards on the way to becoming only the sixth bowler in one-day international history to take 300 wickets. "There is probably a lack of experience in the side," admitted Jayawardene, as he looked forward to his captaincy debut. "But the guys who are playing tomorrow have enough experience going on A tours and I hope they use it and do well."Meanwhile, the onus falls on his opposite number Tatenda Taibu to provide the runs, if Zimbabwe are to be remotely competitive – his first-ball duck on Sunday sounded the death knell for his team’s hopes. "The batting in the first 15 overs has been a concern," he admitted. "It is the main area we are concentrating on. We haven’t given the bowlers enough runs to play around with. It is up to the individuals really to find out how they can play their best cricket."Before this series we said to ourselves we are young, we are inexperienced. Let’s not hide from the fact that we will face some tough times and we will have some interesting and good times as well," said Taibu. "But the main thing was to stay together throughout every stage. It is good to see that the boys have listened and are giving their 100 percent."

Kevin Pietersen has claimed that racial quotas forced him into making the biggest decision of his life, to quit his native South Africa and move to England.In an exclusive extract from his new book Crossing The Boundary, being serialised in the Daily Mail, Pietersen said that he was left out the Natal side in 2000 because of the prevalent quota policy and that led to him making up his mind to seek his career in England.”I was dropped because the quota system was brought into South African cricket to positively discriminate in favour of ‘players of colour’ and to fast-track the racial integration of cricket in the country,” he said. “To me, every single person in this world needs to be treated exactly the same and that should have included me, as a promising 20-year-old cricketer. If you do well you should play on merit. That goes for any person of any colour. It was heartbreaking.”Even though it was very hard for me to take in at the time, it turned out it was the best thing that could have happened.”Not that that seemed to be the case when he was told that he was being left out so that Goolam Bodi could play. “I flew into a rage,” he admitted,” flinging a water bottle across the dressing-room and shouting ‘I’m leaving here’.”Pietersen said that he and his father tried to reason with Phil Russell, Natal’s coach, but got nowhere. And as for Goolam? “I’m not aware he’s made much impact … certainly not with the South Africa team.”Pietersen admitted that he had spoken to Nasser Hussain about the possibility of playing cricket in England when he played against the touring side earlier that season, and that by the time he fell out with Natal there was already considerable interest from several counties in England.Some players advised him to go, but the decision finally came after a meeting with Ali Bacher, at the time the key man in South African cricket. “He was rude to me in that meeting and he was rude to my dad. I had never met the man before. As far as I was concerned the least he could do was be polite.” Bacher failed to offer any encouragement that things would improve. “As soon as we left the meeting my dad said to me: ‘You’re going … the quota system will never finish’.”Pietersen immediately rang Clive Rice, the Nottinghamshire coach, and agreed to join them. He had an English passport which enabled him to do that, although he knew he still faced a delay before he could qualify for England. He also knew that he had played his last game for Natal and that his move had to be for good. “I wouldn’t call it an agonising decision,” he added. “It was well thought out. I’ve always been a confident bloke and I was sure I would be successful.”Pietersen also speculated that had he remained in South Africa he might not even be playing cricket now. “I would have been frozen out of the system … I would have gone out and done something else.”
South Australia 0 for 13 trail Western Australia 335 (North 130*, Cleary 3-43) by 322 runs
ScorecardMarcus North fashioned a recovery of sorts as Western Australia reached 335 against South Australia at the Adelaide Oval. Mark Cleary made inroads early on and WA were in a spot of bother at 3 for 75. North (116 not out) then took charge of proceedings and kept his end up. He was well supported by Murray Goodwin, who made 58. After WA were bowled out just before the close of play South Australia played out three overs to reach 13 for no loss by stumps.Full report to follow

Bournemouth left-hander Tom Webley made his County Championship debut for Somerset today – against the fastest bowler in the world !Webley is expected to open the Somerset batting against Durham at the Riverside, with Pakistan paceman Shoaib Akhtar – the Rawalpindi Express – steaming in at the other end.”It certainly promises to be a baptism of fire, but it will be a great experience for me,” Webley said last night.Webley, 20, who lives with his parents in Corfe Mullen, got his full county call up after a string of encouraging performances for Somerset’s 2nd XI and Academy sides.”Tom did well at the Cambridge UCCE at the start of the season, has been batting well in the second team and thoroughly deserves his chance,” praised Somerset 2nd XI coach Mark Garaway.Webley, who played for Bournemouth colts as a 14-year old and graduated into the club’s Premier League side three years ago, hit a First Class century for Cambridge UCCE against Northants at Fenners in May.A former pupil at King’s Taunton, Webley is studying at Anglia University.To see how he is getting on, click on the link on the match below

Richard Davis, the only man to have played for five first-class counties, has died at the age of 37 after suffering from a brain tumour.Davis, a slow left-armer, was a member of the treble-winning Warwickshire squad of 1994, having started his career with his native Kent. He also played for Gloucestershire, Sussex – in one-day cricket only – and Leicestershire.Davis was starting on a career in coaching but within weeks of his final appearance for Leicestershire in 2001 he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour. A second, more aggressive tumour, which required surgery, was discovered in September this year.Neil Smith, a team-mate of Davis at Warwickshire, led the tributes. “He was thoughtful, caring and considerate,” he said. “An honest and straightforward guy who will be sadly missed.”Davis leaves a wife, Sam, who is the sister-in-law of David Fulton, Kent’s captain.
