Hebou hammers out a win in Pacific MMI Vehicles Insurance Limited “Don’t Drink and Drive” Cricket Legends T20 Cricket Bash Pa pua New Guinea cricket fans were treated to a spectacular final of the Pacific MMI Vehicles Insurance Limited “Don’t Drink and Dr ive” Cricket Legends T20 Bash on Sunday December 07 played in front of a crowd of over 4,000 people at Amini Park in Port M oresby and beamed all over PNG LIVE through both EMTV and the FM100 radio network. The final between Hebou Hammer and Pacific MMI Marlins was fought right down to the wire but Hebou proved to be the champion team thanks to former Test batsman Damien Martyn who hit a 92 not out to lead the side to a four wicket win over the Marlins with 4 balls to spare. Both teams booked a place in the finals after winning their semi finals matches with Hebou (5/124) narrowly UMW (6/123) and Pacific MMI Marlins (9/124) escaping with a two run win over Air Niugini Jets (9/122). The six visiting Aussie cricket legends Andrew Symonds (Brian Bell Bulldogs), Damien Martyn (Hebou Hammer), Andrew Bichel (Air Niugini Jets), Jimmy Maher (UMW Thunder), Greg Blewett (Pacific MMI Marlins) and Michael Kasprowicz (Be Mobile Orange Men) were all very excited by the talents displayed by the local PNG cricketers.

The Pacific MMI Marlins started their innings well with Greg Blewett (57) and local young gun Lega Siaka (25) putting on a 77 run partnership for the first wicket before Jimmy Maher caught Blewett at deep point off Tanti Heni bowling. Blewett had the crowd on their toes and screaming for more boundaries when he smashed five sixes and three fours all over Amini Park. Siaka soon followed Blewett after he was caught at deep mid on courtesy of a Maher classic which the young Hanuabada opener tried to hit it for a six. At 2/86 the Pacific MMI Marlins were comfortable but then entered Andrew Symonds who made a quick fire 41 runs which included three massive sixes that sealed a BIG score for his side. Unfortunately the talented Australian all rounder could not reach his half century when Lae based cricketers teamed up, with Billy Maha made a classic catch at long on off Hitolo Areni’s bowling to dismiss a bitterly disappointed Symonds. Local players Vali Albert (24) and Mahuru Dai (9 not out) made a handy little 24 run partnership to bring their final total to 158 after 20 overs. In reply Hebou Hammer got off to a disaster start when Michael Kasprowicz got the precious wickets of openers Tanti Heni (0) and Jimmy Maher (1). At 2/2 Hebou Hammer were looking down the gun barrel but thanks to classy batsman Damien Martyn the match was still alive. Martyn ripped apart Marlins bowling attack when he smashed 11 fours and two big sixes to put Hammer in the race to win the trophy. He shared a couple of crucial partnership on the way to victory with PNG U19 youngster Sese Bau (20), National coach Andy Bichel (30) and Bill Maha (19). Martyn and Maha paired to put on a breathtaking 34 run partnership to finishing the match on a high note when Maha hit a beautiful four to wrap up the match. In presenting the Trophy to the Winning team, The Hebou Hammer, Pacific MMI CEO Wayne Dorgan hailed the Event a massive success and a fantastic promotion for the “Don’t Drink and Drive “ campaign. “Whilst I would have loved to see my team the Marlins win, I think that we saw PNG cricket at its best” stated Mr Dorgan. Chairman of Cricket PNG, Mr Mick Nades stated that “the efforts of all of the staff, volunteers, sponsors have made this Event a huge success and we will run it again next year”. “We thank EMTV for the live broadcast and FM100 as well as Pacific MMI, Motor Vehicles Insurance Limited for their significant commercial support and the belief they showed in Cricket. “ “Today we have seen cricket as a family sport and why our Teams are the most successful International teams in PNG”, stated Mr Nades. “We have lots of kids, excitement, no alcohol, no violence, an excited crowd, Live TV and Radio coverage and fantastic local talent” beamed Mr Nades. National Coach, Andy Bichel announced National Opening Batsmen Kapena Arua as the player of the Tournament and presented him with a Slazenger Kit of Gear valued at over K1500. Andy Bichel thanked all of the Legends for coming to PNG but also reminded everyone that our Local talent is exceptional but we need to continue the hard work being put in and not get lazy or complacent. He also encouraged players from outside of Moresby to shine so that we grow the sport throughout the country.

Pakistan claimed the honours in the dress rehearsal for the final with a memo- rable victory over the world champions in a dramatic day/night encounter at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The game lived up to its billing right from the onset as Saeed Anwar and Saleem Elahi tore into the Australia attack. Elahi was in particularly impressive form, blast- ing 79 from 91 balls as Pakistan plundered 290 from their 50 overs. But, never wanting to be outdone, the Australians responded in fine style with Adam Gilchrist attacking the Pakistan bowling with equal relish. The wicketkeep- er sensationally raced to his 20th one-day international half-century in just 29 balls on his way to a quick-fire 70. Once Saqlain Mushtaq had ended his 44-ball knock however, skipper Waqar Younis stepped up to take the game by the scruff of the neck. The pace star is bowling as well as he has done in years as his side come to the end of their tour of England and his figures of six for 59 fully deserved the man of the match award and to take his side to victory.

USHA M RODRIGUES on the Australian media's responses to the cricket controversies Down Under. Posted/Updated Tuesday, Jan 08 16:06:48, 2008 The hot controversy of banning the Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh from three test matches two days ago, and the falling out between the Australian and Indian cricket teams have caught the Australian media by surprise. The oxymoron of 'fair sports coverage' is on stark display during this crisis in the International cricket contest between India and Australia. There are a number of issues plaguing the current cricket sports coverage from Sydney and elsewhere of the crisis, where Indian cricket team has threatened to abandon the Australian tour after two test matches. The Indian cricket players are incensed by the 'unfair' ruling on one of their players, when Australian players continue to play the game 'hard' and allegedly indulge in sledging more than any other cricket team.
