INDIA LIFTS WORLD CUP
AGAIN AFTER 28 YEARS

MUMBAI
GAUTAM Gambhir made 97
and skipper Mahendra Singh
Dhoni smashed an unbeaten
91 off 79 balls as India won
the World Cup for the first
time since 1983 with a sixwicket victory over Sri Lanka
on Saturday.
Sri Lanka, who won the toss
and elected to bat in the daynight final, rode on Mahela
Jayawardene’s 103 not out off
88 balls to pile up 274-6 in
their 50 overs.
India, cheered by a sell-out
crowd of 33,000 at the
Wankhede Stadium, surpassed the challenging target
with 10 balls to spare as
Dhoni pounded Nuwan
Kulasekara for the winning
six.
India had slumped to 31-2
by the sixth over when slingarm fast bowler Lasith
Malinga dismissed Virender
Sehwag (0) off the second ball
and had star batsman Sachin
Tendulkar (18) caught behind
in his fourth over.
“I took a quite few decisions
tonight and if we hadn’t won I
would have been asked quite
a few questions,” said Dhoni,
who batted at number five
and had selected fast bowler
Shanthakumaran Sreesanth
instead of Ravichandran
Ashwin.
“Why no Ashwin? Why
Sreesanth? Why no Yuvraj (at
five)? Why did I bat ahead?
That pushed and motivated
me to do well.”
Gambhir, who was dropped
on 30 and escaped a run-out
chance on 49, turned the
match around by adding 83
for the third wicket with Virat
Kohli and 109 for the fourth
with Dhoni.

It was only the third time in
10 World Cup finals that a side
batting second had chased
down the victory target. The
finale gave Tendulkar, the
world’s most successful Test
and one-day batsman, his first
World Cup title in six appearances since 1992.
“I couldn’t have asked for
more,” said Tendulkar, who
again missed out on scoring a
landmark 100th international
century.
“Winning the World Cup is
the ultimate. It is the proudest moment of my life. It
shows it is never too late. I
thank my teammates who
were fabulous. I could not
really hold back my tears.”
The defeat ended Sri
Lankan star bowler Muttiah
Muralitharan’s dream of
being part of a second World
Cup-winning team, having
won the title under Arjuna
Ranatunga in 1996 in Lahore.

went wicketless in eight overs
to end his career with a record
800 Test and 534 one-day
wickets. Sri Lanka captain
Kumar Sangakkara, who
made 48 when his team batted, admitted India had been
the better side.
“When you look at this
Indian team anything less than
350 doesn’t look enough,” he
said. “They deserved this title,
the way they played in front of
a great crowd.”
Confusion reigned at the
toss, which had to be performed twice after match referee Jeff Crowe did not hear
Sangakkara’s call when Dhoni
threw up the coin.
Jayawardene shored up Sri
Lanka’s innings before tailenders Nuwan Kulasekara (32
off 30 balls) and Thisara
Perera (22 off nine) helped
their team smash 63 runs in
the last five overs of powerplay. India’s left-arm seamer
Zaheer Khan dried up the flow
of runs at the start and his two
wickets made him the tournament’s leading bowler alongside Pakistan captain Shahid
Afridi with 21 wickets each.
Zaheer opened with three
successive maidens and then
struck with the first ball of his
fourth over when Sehwag
dived to his right in the slips
to remove Upul Tharanga for
two.
Tillakaratne Dilshan, going
into the final as the tournament’s leading scorer with
467 runs, made 33 when he
was bowled by off-spinner
Harbhajan Singh to make Sri
Lanka 60-2 in the 17th over.
Jayawardene put on 62 for
the third wicket with
Sangakkara (48) and 57 for
the fourth with Thilan
Samaraweera (21).

Kirk had a nine-under par

Kim and Wagner both ben-

event as a final tune-up for the
year’s first major championship.
Reigning Masters champion Phil Mickelson (70) and
world number two Lee
Westwood (72) were part of a
big group on four-under.
Kim is trying to become the
first back-to-back winner at
Houston since Fiji’s Vijay
Singh won in 2004 and ‘05.
Even before he won here
last year, Kim had some solid
rounds on the course under
his belt. He won a collegiate
event here in 2006.
“It helps, knowing I played
well before, knowing I made a
couple putts when it mat-
tered,” he said. “Some shots I
had are similar, some putts I
had are very similar, so I try to
remember those things, and
play off that.”
Kim also said that work on
his swing with coach Adam
Schreiber was already paying
dividends.
“It feels great to have that
feeling of confidence and go
out there, make some good
golf swings and make a couple of putts after that,” Kim
said.
Wagner claimed his first US
tour victory here three years
ago, and he needs a win this
week in order to qualify for
the Masters.
Kirk also has some prior
experience at Redstone. He
competed in the same collegiate event won by Kim in
2006, although he said his
performance wasn’t remarkable.
“I shot a bunch of 74s, or so,
nothing very memorable,” he
said.

Djokovic’s
remarkable run continued
as he steamed into the final
of the ATP’s Miami Masters
1000, where he will face
world number one Rafael
Nadal.
Djokovic reached his
fourth final in as many
tournaments this year with
a 6-3, 6-1 victory over
American Mardy Fish.
Nadal,
meanwhile,
notched a convincing 6-3,
6-2 victory over 16-time
Grand Slam champion
Roger Federer, now ranked
third in the world.

2011 winning streak to 23
straight matches and will

He defeated Nadal in the
Indian Wells final less than
a fortnight ago, and with
his triumph in the
California desert, overtook
Federer for number two in
the world rankings.
In 30 years, only two
players have made a better
start to a season: American
John McEnroe with 39 victories in 1984 and former
Czechoslovakian
Ivan
Lendl with 25 in 1986.
“I don’t feel invincible,”
Djokovic said. “I don’t feel
that I can’t lose on the
court. What I feel is big
confidence. What I feel is
that I’m playing best tennis
of my life.”
Despite his dominant
form and his recent victory
over Nadal, Djokovic
claimed the role of underdog in the looming final.
“I obviously wouldn’t feel
like a favorite,” he said.
“For me to win, I will be
have to be on the top of my
game.”
Fish, who will overtake
Andy Roddick as the topranked American next
week, had Djokovic on the
defensive early, but couldn’t convert two break
points.
Then came a rain delay of
nearly an hour, time that
Djokovic used to regroup.
“I told Mardy at the end I
got saved by the rain,”
Djokovic said. “It really
seemed like that. After I
went back to the locker
room I had 45 minutes to
get it together and I felt
much better after I came
back to the court.”
They resumed with the
set level at 2-2, Djokovic
serving. He saved a break
point, then held with an
ace.
The real turning point
came at 5-3, as Djokovic
served for the set. Fish gave
himself a double break
point, but couldn’t capitalize on either, surrendering
the set with a backhand
into the net.
“Those
were
huge
points,” Fish said. “It was
extremely disappointing. I
thought I played well... I
left a lot of shots out there
today. That’s what’s disappointing.”
Djokovic opened the second set by breaking the
American, and cruised
home, wrapping it up with
a forehand winner.
In all, Djokovic saved six
break points and has yet to
be broken in 40 service
games here.
“It’s his playground right
now, I guess,” Fish said.
While the Nadal v
Federer clash — their first
on a US court since 2005 —
generated the buzz of a
final, even the fans’ encouraging chants couldn’t lift
Federer.
In the first set he made
no inroads, as Nadal, displaying fierce groundstrokes, dropped just two
points on his own serve.
The Swiss, who delivered
31 unforced errors, went
down early breaks in both
sets, and was broken in the
concluding game of each.
“I was down right away.
From then it was an uphill
battle,” Federer said.
“When I did have chances I
played poorly and he came
up with some good stuff.
Off night for me, unfortunately.”

Hamilton needs two races to hit top speed
AFP
LONDON
LEWIS Hamilton has revved
up his bid to reclaim the
world title by warning
Sebastian Vettel that he cannot expect to have it all his
own way as the 2011 Formula
One season unfolds.
But the 26-year-old Briton,
who won the title in 2008,
has conceded that it will take
his hard-working McLaren
team a couple of races to
reach top speed in pursuit of
the 23-year-old defending
champion.
German Vettel won last
Sunday’s season-opening
Australian Grand Prix to
establish himself as the man
to beat once again in his
super-fast Red Bull car, nicknamed ‘Kinky Kylie’.
Looking ahead to next
weekend’s Malaysian Grand
Prix, Hamilton said: “I think
the track at Sepang is going
to suit the Red Bulls again
because it is a massive downforce circuit, but we are going
to be competitive and I really
believe we will close the gap.”
Hamilton finished second
behind Vettel in Melbourne
where McLaren were running their hastily-revised
new car for the first time after
a late overhaul of the exhaust
system and floor.
And Hamilton added that
the Red Bull team will need
to utilise their Kinetic
Energy Regeneration System
(KERS) if they hope to stay
in front - last Sunday they
did not use it at Albert Park.
“Malaysia is a down-force
track so you’re going to see
Red Bull be as quick if not
quicker
again,”
said
Hamilton.
“But I have no doubts our
car can be competitive as
well. If you’ve seen their
(Red Bull) front wing, it’s
almost trailing on the
ground. That is massive
down-force.
“Ours is much higher off
the ground. That alone is like
20 points of down-force, like
half a second, so as soon as
we close that loophole or find
out how to do that we will
close that performance gap.
“We have some small
upgrades coming. Whether
or not we can compete with
them on pure qualifying
pace, I don’t know, but I
think when it comes to the
race there is a much longer
straight going into turn one.
“If we can get on the first
two rows again we can compete with our KERS. I don’t
think they are going to be
able to go too long without
KERS. They will need it.”
Red Bull boss Christian
Horner, who cautioned
against his team celebrating
their supremacy too soon
after last weekend’s triumph
in which Australian Mark
Webber came home fifth,
said it was essential for them
to have KERS in Malaysia.
And Hamilton’s McLaren
team-mate and fellow-Briton
Jenson Button, added: “I
don’t think they have a good
system - we gain between 3.5
and five-tenths from our
KERS but I think Red Bull
only gain 1.5 and that’s why
they did not bother with it
and the extra weight.”

French Football Federation votes for reforms
Football
ROUNDUP
PARIS The French Football Federation has voted in reforms aimed at improving the
running of French football.The FFF approved several new initiatives at a general
assembly on Saturday that were discussed at a workshop in October.
The FFF’s voting structure is traditionally split between professional and amateur
football, and the general assembly voted to increase the professional’s vote from
25 to 37 percent. It also overwhelmingly approved a proposal to elect future FFF
presidents through a a 10-man executive committee, and agreed to create a
watchdog body bringing together all the different “families” in football.
Pro football will continue funding amateurs through television rights and a share
of sports betting profits. FFF president Fernand Duchaussoy hailed the reforms as
“the change that our federation needs for its future and to carry out its assignments with greater efficiency.”
Reforms were urgently needed within the FFF following France’s World Cup
debacle in South Africa last year under former coach Raymond Domenech.

Amsterdam, Dutch football officials and private companies, officials from the Japanese
club said. “Our coach Afshin Ghotbi has
deep relationships with the Dutch football
people,” said Shimizu president Yasuhito
Takeuchi on the team’s website.
BERLIN The German Football Federation
(DFB) has said it will act quickly to punish
St Pauli following an attack on the assistant
referee during Friday night’s game against
Schalke 04. With just a minute left of the
match and Schalke leading 2-0, assistant
referee Thorsten Schiffner was struck in the
upper back by a cup full of beer and referee
Deniz Aytekin stopped the game. The DFB
have said they will announce a ruling in a
few days while daily Bild report a man was
arrested by police at St Pauli’s Millerntor

Rooney pulls off a hat-trick
AFP
LONDON
WAYNE Rooney scored a hattrick as Manchester United
fought back from two goals
down to beat West Ham 4-2
and keep its Premier League
title hopes firmly on track on
Saturday.
The victory saw United
stretch its lead at the top of the
table to eight points ahead of
Arsenal’s match against
Blackburn in Saturday’s late
kick-off.
United manager Sir Alex
Ferguson said his side had
shown championship-winning pedigree by coming back
to take all three points.
“I thought we played like
champions today,” Ferguson
told Sky Sports.
Man United
comeback
Rooney spearheaded a dramatic United transformation
in the second half,
curling in a superb
free-kick on 65
minutes to throw
the leaders a
lifeline.
“We kept our heads up, we
didn’t lose faith in our ability
and that was a great boost.
“It’s not an easy place to
come to, West Ham - they’re
fighting relegation and that
result may put them in deep
trouble. But we have to do our
thing. “We dominated that
second half and deserved to
win. It was a real championship performance as far as
I’m concerned.”
West Ham boss Avram
Grant meanwhile blamed
poor defending for allowing
United back into the match.
“It’s disappointing because
it was 2-0 and we had played
well but we didn’t defend so
well in the second half,” Grant
said. “We left them too much
space. They are Manchester
United, they play well when
you give them space.”
West Ham had looked to be
on course for a deserved victory after two early penalties
from Mark Noble fired the
Londoners into a 2-0 lead at
Upton Park against a woeful
United side.
But Rooney spearheaded a
dramatic United transformation in the second half, curling
in a superb free-kick on 65
minutes to throw the leaders a
lifeline before levelling with a
rasping low shot eight minutes later.
The comeback was complete on 78 minutes when fullback Fabio Da Silva charged
down the right flank and
whipped a ball back into the
box.
The Brazilian’s pull back
grazed West Ham defender
Matthew Upson on the arm
and referee Lee Mason had no
hesitation in pointing to the
spot.
Rooney duly stepped up to
slam in the penalty before substitute Javier Hernandez completed the scoring with a close
range effort on 84 minutes.
Defeat was desperately hard
on the Hammers, who had
protested angrily after Mason
failed to send off United captain Nemanja Vidic. The
Serbian defender was lucky to
stay on the pitch after hauling
down Demba Ba shortly
before half-time, receiving
only a yellow card instead.
Ferguson later admitted
Vidic had been fortunate not
to see red. “He could have
been sent off for that,”
Ferguson said. “He got a lucky
break. It would have been
harsh but he could have been
sent off.”
Grant also felt Vidic should
have gone.
“He (Vidic) was the last
man, so if it is a foul it would
be a red card. I need to see it
again,” Grant said.
A few minutes into the second half Vidic again breathed
a sigh of relief after escaping a
second yellow for a clumsy
tackle from behind on Ba.
Forlan denies row
with teammates
AFP
MONTEVIDEO
URUGUAY World Cup star
Diego Forlan has denied
media reports in his homeland and Spain that he has
a fractious relationship
with teammates at Atletico
Madrid.
The 31-year-old former
Manchester United player
said in an exchange on his
Twitter account that “I get
on well” with all members
of the Atletico squad and
that reports to the contrary
were the media taking
comments out of context.
“I like to think it’s not
true,” he insisted after a
local reporter asked him if
rumours of a “plot” to
freeze him out had any
foundation.
Rumours in Uruguay and
Spain have suggested there
is a part of the dressing
room that does not get on
with Forlan, who netted
five goals at last summer’s
World Cup finals to help his
side to the semi-finals.
Some media claims suggest that several Atletico
players have a agreement
“not to pass a single ball to
the blond guy,” in reference
to Forlan, who has had a
disappointing
season
marred by an injury to ligaments in his right ankle in
December.
After starting out with
Argentine
side
Independiente, Forlan had
two-and-a-half seasons
with Manchester United
but he failed to hold down a
regular place and found
goals hard to come by, netting just ten times in 63
games - though he did net
some important efforts
including a brace away to
Liverpool.

Chelsea’s
title hopes
fade at
Stoke City

London, on Saturday. (EPA)
CHELSEA’S faint hopes of a
late Premier League title
charge faded on Saturday after
the champion were held to a
frustrating 1-1 draw by midtable Stoke.
Didier Drogba’s first goal
since January 24 rescued a
point for Carlo Ancelotti’s side
after Jon Walters had fired
Stoke ahead at the Britannia
Stadium.
But the result almost certainly ended Chelsea’s remote title
challenge, Ancelotti’s side now
11 points before leaders
Manchester United with eight
games remaining.
Manchester United’s 4-2 victory over West Ham earlier in
the day meant Chelsea had to
win all of their remaining nine
games to stand any chance of
retaining the title.
But, with Fernando Torres
starting on the substitutes
bench ahead of next week’s
Champions League quarterfinal first leg with United,
Ancelotti’s team got off to the
worst possible start.
Former Chelsea defender
Robert Huth had already headed over the bar when Walters
got the better of David Luiz just
inside the visitors’ half before
embarking on a powerful run.
Walters, a 2.75 million
pound signing from Ipswich in
August, cut inside the Chelsea
area before picking his spot
after neatly wrong-footing
Michael Essien.
Chelsea, who had won six of
their previous eight league
games, responded through
Ashley Cole’s header from 12
yards, saved by Asmir Begovic,
and a volley from Florent
Malouda which flashed narrowly wide of the target.
But they endured a major
scare in the 24th minute when
John Terry went down after a
hefty challenge with Glenn
Whelan, the Chelsea captain
only getting to his feet after
receiving treatment.
Dortmund beats Hanover 4-1

BORUSSIA Dortmund came
from behind to floor
Bundesliga title rival Hanover
96 on Saturday with a 4-1 victory which maintained its
seven-point lead at the top of
the table.
With six games left after this
weekend, Dortmund move
ever closer to its first
Bundesliga title since 2002
with second-half goals from
Germany’s rising star Mario
Goetze, two by Paraguay’s
Lucas Barrios and Kevin
Grosskreutz.
Hanover took the lead when
Norway striker Mohammed
Abdellaoue netted after 57
minutes, but Dortmund
equalised less than two minutes later.
Wunderkind Goetze, 18, put
his side level on 52 minutes
before Poland defender
Lukasz Piszczek fired in a perfect cross from the sidelines
which Barrios buried in the net
with a 64th-minute header.
Goetze then turned provider
when his clever pass nine minutes later which allowed
Barrios to fire home again
before Grosskreutz completed
the rout in the 83rd minute.
Second-placed Leverkusen
stayed in the title race thanks
to a single goal from midfielder Sidney Sam which gave
them a 1-0 win and three crucial points at Kaisterslautern.
Bayern Munich leapfrogged Hanover into third,
thanks to their 1-0 win over
bottom-side
Borussia
Moenchengladbach, who are
destined to be in the second
division next season.
With the game played at a
low tempo, Dutch winger
Arjen Robben spared Bayern’s
blushes with his ninth goal in
10 league games after missing
the start of the season with
injury.
The win puts Bayern seven
points behind second-placed
Leverkusen — and an automatic Champions League
place next season — while
‘Gladbach are seven points
from safety.
Former German champions
Stuttgart and Werder Bremen
drew 1-1 with both sides still
dangerously close to the dropzone.
Fifth-placed Mainz 05
remain on course for a
European place next season
thanks to their 1-1 draw at
home to Freiburg.
The German Football
Federation (DFB) are set heavily to punish relegation-candidates St Pauli following an
attack on the assistant referee
during Friday night’s game
against Schalke 04.
With just a minute left of the
match and Schalke leading 20, assistant referee Thorsten
Schiffner was struck in the
upper back by a cup full of beer
and referee Deniz Aytekin
abandoned the game soon
after.

THE STADIUM
Giants loses again 4-3 to Dodgers
AP
LOS ANGELES
ANOTHER game, another
loss and more miscues for the
winless San Francisco Giants.
The defending World Series
champion lost 4-3 to the rival
Los Angeles Dodgers on
Friday night, committing two
errors to go with the three
they had in a 2-1 loss in the
teams’ season opener a night
earlier.
“That’s not what you
thought would happen opening up here. We’re just shooting ourselves in the foot,”
manager Bruce Bochy said.
“It’s a tough way to lose two
close ballgames.”
Rafael Furcal singled in the
go-ahead run to highlight a
three-run sixth inning for the
Dodgers, allowing new manager Don Mattingly to match
the 2-0 start of mentor and
retired Los Angeles skipper
Joe Torre in 2008.
Giants starter Jonathan
Sanchez (0-1) gave up four
runs—two earned—and seven
hits in 5 2-3 innings, struck
out eight and walked three.
“Right now we’re not clicking well offensively. They’re
pitching well, too,” Bochy
said. “(Chad) Billingsley had
good stuff, so in games like
this you need to play well
defensively. And right now
we’re not. That’s two games in
a row that mistakes have hurt
us.” The Dodgers rallied from
a two-run deficit with three
runs in the sixth. James
Loney’s sacrifice fly scored
Matt Kemp, who singled and

Rod Barajas followed with a

third
baseman
Pablo
Sandoval, whose throw to first
got past rookie Brandon Belt
for an error, putting runners
at second and third.
“I tried to rush it. I was sup-
posed to hold the ball in that
situation,” Sandoval said.
“We’ve been trying to rush a
little bit more and trying too
hard. I know we have offense,
but we have to keep working
hard on the defense.”
Hector Gimenez batted for
Billingsley and followed with
a dribbler to the left of the
mound and Sanchez misplayed it for an error, allowing
Barajas to score the tying run.
Guillermo Mota relieved
Sanchez and gave up Furcal’s
RBI single that gave the
Dodgers a 4-3 lead.

Dennis
Rodman said on Friday it was
hard to contemplate the honour of having his jersey number retired by the Detroit
Pistons.
“I’m relieved that’s over,”
Rodman said after a halftime
ceremony in which a “Dennis
Rodman 10” banner was
raised to the rafters of the
Pistons’
Palace
arena.
Rodman, who drew his share
of critics with his outspoken
ways in his playing days, will
have to get used to such
praise, however.
He said he was told on
Thursday to be in Houston
for Sunday’s announcement
of inductees into the
Basketball Hall of Fame.It all
seemed a bit strange to
Rodman.
“It’s a surprise to me that
my number is being retired,”
Rodman said.
and I just missed it. That cost
us the game,” Sanchez said.
“But that’s baseball. We’re not
perfect. We’re going to make
errors.” Billingsley (1-0)
allowed three runs and five
hits in six innings, struck out
four and walked one. The

Calgary Flames’ Jarome Iginla (right) tries to get to a loose puck as St Louis Blues’ Vladimir Sobotka,

JAROME Iginla’s 1,000th
career point helped the Calgary
Flames stay alive in the
Western Conference playoff
race. Iginla scored his second
goal of the game with 5:03 left,
a wrist shot from inside the
right circle that broke a tie in
the Flames’ 3-2 comeback victory over the St. Louis Blues on
Friday night.
Iginla became the 77th player
in NHL history to reach 1,000
points. “When I started, I never
would have thought of that and
it wasn’t something I was thinking about year in and year out
or anything like that until
maybe the last few,” Iginla said.
“It just makes me reminisce
and how much fun it’s been and
how fortunate I’ve been to play
as long as I have.” Iginla also
had an assist. He has 39 goals
and 41 assists in 79 games this
season and 480 goals and 520
assists in 1,103 career regularseason games—all for the
Flames.
The 33-year-old star has no
designs to wrap up his career
any time soon.
“I still want to play a lot
longer but I’ve definitely been
fortunate so far to and to play
with as many good players and
have the opportunity,” Iginla
said. “It just makes me think
back and I definitely feel
blessed and fortunate.”
Alex Tanguay added a goal
and two assists, and Miikka
Kiprusoff stopped 25 shots as
Calgary remained three points
behind Chicago in the race for
final Western Conference playoff spot.
David Backes had a goal and
an assist, Matt D’Agostini also
scored, and Kevin Shattenkirk
had two assists for the Blues,
eliminated from playoff contention when Chicago beat
Columbus 4-3 in a shootout. All
the talk in the Blues’ room was
losing a third-period lead and
Iginla.
“He’s a guy that seems to, in
the third period especially, find
that extra gear and really make
us pay,” said Backes, whose
100th career goal was overshadowed by Iginla’s feat.
Lakers eliminates Jazz from playoff race
AP
SALT LAKE CITY
EVEN though he was sick to
his stomach before the game,
Los Angeles Lakers forward
Lamar Odom needed just one
glance around the locker
room to get motivated to play
anyway.
“Kobe Bryant, Derek
Fisher, Pau Gasol are great
and they don’t miss games
because they’re hurt or tired
or sick,” Odom said. “You
learn from the greatness and
it rubs off on you.”
Odom scored 16 points off
the bench to go along with
Bryant’s 21, and the Lakers
erased a 17-point, first-half
deficit on Friday night to beat
Utah 96-85 and eliminate the
Jazz from the playoff race.
Utah (36-40) becomes the
first team in NBA history to
start 15-5 and 27-13 and not
make the playoffs.
The Lakers, meanwhile,
have won nine straight and
are within 1 1/2 games of firstplace San Antonio in the
Western Conference. If they
win out, including beating the
Spurs on April 12, they can
claim the top seed in the
West.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson
wasn’t banking on it, even
after seeing his team outscore
the Jazz 52-35 in the second
half following an emotional
win Thursday night over
“Kobe Bryant, Derek
Fisher, Pau Gasol are
great and they don’t
miss games because
they’re hurt or tired
or sick,” Odom said.
“You learn from the
greatness and it rubs
off on you.”
Dallas. The Lakers are 17-1
since the All-Star break.
“We’ve played very well
(but) we can go out and have
a stinker like we had in the
first half and lose a ballgame,”
Jackson said. “We may not
have that energy in the second
half to come back and win, and
it’s asking a lot of a team to
continue at that pace. We want
to do it and we have every
urgency to do it, but the odds
are against us. It’s still a real
tough thing to do.”
The Jazz did their best to
stop the streak despite starting
their 17th different lineup and
having only nine healthy players, including one who just
joined the team two days earlier and was playing out of position. With a big lineup that
included 7-foot-1 Kyrylo
Fesenko making only his third
career start, and Al Jefferson
moving to power forward and
Paul Millsap to small forward,
the Jazz started strong.
They jumped to a 26-13 lead
with 3 minutes left in the first
quarter following a dunk by CJ
Miles (24 points) off an alleyoop pass from Earl Watson,
who had a few words for a
Lakers fan seated courtside.
Utah increased its lead to 4124 after an 11-0 run in the second quarter. Rookie Gordon
Hayward had five points during the run, while forward
Derrick Favors scored off a
baseline drive and Paul
Millsap added a putback dunk.
Guard Kyle Weaver, called up
from the NBA Development
League on Wednesday,
capped the run with a pair of
free throws.
The Lakers finished the half
on a 10-0 run of their own,
including Bryant’s driving
layup and free throws that
pulled Los Angeles to 48-42 at
halftime.
“Fesenko did a great job on
(Andrew) Bynum,” Jackson
said, noting the Jazz held a 3010 advantage in the paint in
the first half. “He bodied him
off his shot, blocked a couple of
his shots. They really took it to
us, but we did little bit better
movement of the ball as the
game went on.”

give the Giants a 3-1 edge. The

in the third.
New judge
ready to
tackle NFL
lockout
AP
MINNEAPOLIS
SUSAN Richard Nelson wanted to make a difference as an
attorney. Do something that
mattered.
She mentored disadvantaged students and young
female lawyers. She was on a
team that took on big tobacco
and won. As a magistrate, she
earned a reputation for her
ability to bring parties together and settle cases.
Now, less than four months
into her career as a federal
judge, she’s responsible for
deciding the fate of the NFL’s
lockout and, perhaps, the 2011
season—a daunting task with
big-shot lawyers on both sides
and billions of dollars at stake.
Those who know Nelson say
her short time on the bench
won’t matter. They note she
has decades of courtroom
experience and won’t be rattled by the glare this high-profile case will bring. “There’s no
question she can handle it,”
said Michael Ciresi, who
worked with Nelson for 16
years and was one of her partners at Robins, Kaplan, Miller
& Ciresi. “As a judge, she’s
very smart, savvy, respectful
… and she’s not afraid to make
the tough decisions.”
On Wednesday, lawyers for
Tom Brady, Peyton Manning,
Drew Brees and other NFL
players are scheduled to ask
Nelson for an injunction to
halt the lockout imposed by
owners. The players have
claimed the lockout is causing
them “irreparable harm” and
they want it stopped.
Attorneys for the NFL want
the lockout to stay in place,
saying players manipulated
the law when they decertified
as a union in mid-March and
filed what the league calls a
baseless antitrust lawsuit.

his team was disappointed at missing out on a second World Cup title but
proud to go down to a

“I am very proud of

way his team could have
stopped India from winning the crown was to
take quick wickets but
that did not happen.
“India were the better
side. They were fantastic
tonight. The only way for
us to stop India was to

SACHIN TENDULKAR failed
with the bat but still ended a
World Cup-winner for the
first time on Saturday as
India defeated Sri Lanka by
six wickets in the final.
Many fans in a capacity
33,000 crowd had piled into
the Wankhede Stadium hoping to see the 37-year-old
Tendulkar, on his home
ground, score his hundredth
international hundred. But
instead the star batsman, bidding to fulfil a lifelong ambition by winning the World
Cup at his sixth — and in all
likelihood last — attempt, was
dismissed for just 18.
It had seemed as if
Tendulkar and India might be
outshone by a masterful hundred from Sri Lanka’s Mahela
Jayawardene, who made 103
not out in a total of 274 for six
after the islanders won the
toss and batted.
India’s millions of fans
around the world were stunned
when, in reply, Virender
Sehwag was lbw for nought second ball to Lasith Malinga.
Tendulkar, who has 51 Test
hundreds and 48 in one-day
internationals, produced two
stylish boundaries, driving
Nuwan Kulasekara down the
ground and cutting him for
another four. But his brief, 14ball innings ended when he
tried to steer Malinga through
the off-side only to be caught
behind by Sri Lanka captain
Kumar Sangakkara to leave
India 31 for two.
Tendulkar walked off to the
kind of standing ovation usually reserved for batsmen
who’ve scored far more than
18, in what was a recognition
of his previous great deeds
rather than this innings.

‘My proudest moment’
SACHIN TENDULKAR said
he could not hold back his
tears after India thrashed Sri
Lanka in the World Cup final
on Saturday to win the “ultimate” prize after a gap of
28 years.
“I couldn’t have asked
for more,” said Tendulkar,
as his teammates carried
him on their shoulders for
a victory lap before adoring
fans at the Wankhede
Satdium. “Winning the
World Cup is the ultimate
thing. It is the proudest
moment of my life. It
shows it is never too late,”

“I thank my teammates

so I don’t mind crying.”
Tendulkar made just 18
with the bat as he missed
out on scoring his 100th
international century.
Young star Virat Kohli said
the victory was a fitting tribute to Tendulkar. “This goes

First he cut the left-arm
quick behind high behind
square on the offside before
next ball striking a brilliant
boundary over mid-off to go to
the landmark in 84 balls with
13 fours. But for the second
time in as many finals, following Sri Lanka’s defeat by
Australia in Barbados four
years ago, Jayawardene finished a runner-up, with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni
hitting a six to seal victory
with 10 balls to spare.
Jayawardene secured the
unwanted record of becoming
the first man to score a hundred in a World Cup final yet
finish on the losing side.
All five previous tons in the
fixture — by Clive Lloyd
(West Indies, 1975), Vivian
Richards (West Indies, 1979),
Aravinda de Silva (Sri Lanka
1996),
Ricky
Ponting

Gilchrist (Australia 2007) had
been made in winning causes.
A WORLD Cup final many
India fans hoped would witness Sachin Tendulkar score
his hundredth international
hundred saw Sri Lanka’s
Mahela Jayawardene beat
him to the punch with a brilliant century.
Jayawardene top-scored
with 103 not out in Sri
Lanka’s total of 274/6 at the
Wankhede Stadium on
Saturday. It was a far cry from
the World Cup final of four
years ago where Jayawardene
was dismissed for just 19 as
Australia triumphed in
Barbados. Jayawardene, 33,
reached his century in superb
style with two successive
boundaries off Zaheer Khan.
First he cut the left-arm
quick behind high behind
square on the offside before
next ball striking a brilliant
boundary over mid-off to go
to the landmark in 84 balls
with 13 fours.
Jayawardene, who came in
at 60/2, has long had the
enviable ability to make runs
quickly without seeming to
make a great effort.
He is also capable of great
feats of batting concentration
as he showed while making
374 against South Africa at
Colombo in 2006 where he
shared a Test record stand for
any wicket of 624 with current
skipper
Kumar
Sangakkara.
It had looked as if Zaheer,
who finished with 2/60, would
also erase memories of previous World Cup final heartache.
When India last played in a
World Cup final, he conceded
67 runs in just seven overs during a 125-run thrashing by
Australia in Johannesburg in
2003 that saw his opening 10ball over cost 15 runs. But it
was a different story to start
with on his home ground
where he began with three successive maidens on Saturday.
Zaheer, maintaining an
excellent line and length, tormented left-handed opener
Upul Tharanga and kept
Tillakaratne Dilshan in check.
Zaheer’s pressure was
rewarded with the first ball of
his fourth over when he produced an excellent delivery on
off-stump that cut away and
had Tharanga, who struggled
to two off 20 balls, edging to
diving slip Virender Sehwag.
And it was only next ball,
when Sangakkara dabbed to
mid-on and set off for a hasty
single, that Zaheer, whose
first spell was a highly
impressive 5-3-6-1, had finally given up a run.

INDIAN cricket fans clung to
their dreams of a World Cup
win on home soil on Saturday
as tens of thousands of people converged on Mumbai for
the tournament climax under
heavy security.
Mumbai’s
sweeping
Marine Drive promenade —
normally heaving with noisy
traffic — was transformed
into a sea of blue India shirts,
as the road was shut to all but
match traffic and fans queued
to get into the ground.
Many had the saffron,
white and green Indian tricolor draped around their
shoulders or painted on both
cheeks while roadside vendors were doing a brisk trade
in fantail turbans in the
national colours.
A roar and shouts of “Chak
de India!” (Come on India!)
went up shortly after 12:30
pm local time (0700 GMT) as
the Indian and Sri Lankan
teams arrived at the
Wankhede Stadium.
“It’s special to see India
here at home,” said Satish
Sharma, 52, who had travelled all the way from
Ferryhill in northern England
with his nine-year-old son,
Shivam, to see the match.
“The next one won’t be for
another 20 years and I’ll be
75 then. It’s been my lifetime’s ambition,” said the
businessman.
“Normally I prefer to watch
matches on the big screen but
I just wanted to come to feel
the intensity and the roar of
the crowd,” added Anup
Isaac, 36, who works in Dubai
as an engineer. “It’s an oncein-a-lifetime experience.”
The match is Mumbai’s
highest-profile sporting event
since the 2008 attacks in the
city, which saw 10 Islamist
militants kill 166 people at
landmark targets, including
the Taj Mahal Palace hotel
where the teams are staying.
Some 3,500 police personnel were out in force to
ensure the safety of the two
teams and the 32,000 spectators, who include both countries’ presidents.
Khaki-clad police equipped
with bamboo sticks were
joined by paramilitaries with
full body armour and automatic weapons, as coastguard and navy patrols kept
watch on the Arabian Sea and
a no-fly zone was imposed
over south Mumbai.
Fans were being frisked
and searched for an extensive
list of banned items, including food, drinks and electronic equipment, before entering, as police kept watch on a
network of security cameras.
Despite the stringent meas-
ures, ticket touts were still
seen around the stadium,
seeking to cash in on the
clamour for seats.
Television news channel
NDTV on Friday said its
reporter had been offered
black market tickets for the
sell-out game for up to
$3,300 each.
Cricket’s governing body
has been criticised for only
making available 4,000 tickets to the general public and
many of the fans spoken to by
AFP said they had got seats
through sponsors.
Those who said they had
bought seats were reluctant
to divulge how much they
had paid.
