Carter helps West Indies A level series 1-1

Bangalore: A run-a-ball century by 25-year-old Barbadian Jonathan Carter (133, 132b, 18x4, 3x6) powered the West Indies A to a deserving 55-run win over a wayward India A to level the three-match one-day series 1-1 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Tuesday.
Asked to bat first, the visitors recovered from a poor start and with Carter playing the anchor-role to perfection, made 279/6 in their 50 overs. In reply, India A, who had won the opening game Sunday, paid the price for some indiscreet strokeplay to be all out for 224 with seamer Miguel Cummins claiming 4/29. 

The India A response to the challenging target was rather disappointing though opener Unmukt Chand (38), skipper Yuvraj Singh (40) and Kedar Jadhav (35) provided some hope. However, Yuvraj's dismissal, when he drove left-arm spinner Nikita Miller uppishly to be caught in the covers, triggered the India A collapse.
As well as the Windies bowled, the hosts contributed to their own downfall with some indiscreet shots and their innings never really gained any appreciable momentum, especially after a poor start.
Yuvraj and Chand added 64 runs for the third wicket after opener Robin Uthappa (10) and Mandeep Singh (3) fell cheaply. After Chand departed when looking well set, Yuvraj and Jadhav put on 32 for the fourth.
However, a double strike by Miller, who removed Yuvraj and Yusuf Pathan off consecutive deliveries, and it was all over bar the shouting.
West Indies A then tightened their hold on the game by taking wickets at regular intervals to send the Indians hurtling to defeat while an entertaining last-wicket partnership between Shahbaz Nadeem (21 not out) and Jaidev Unadkat (15) provided some flourish to an otherwise disappointing innings.
Earlier, the West Indies A innings was all about Carter who played a typical Caribbean-style innings marked by conspicuous leg-side shots that had sufficient power and timing to breach the field.
Carter, after surviving a chance when on six in a total of 56/2, displayed character to pull his side out of hot waters after Vinay Kumar had both openers Andre Fletcher (15) and Kieran Powell (4) caught behind by Naman Ojha in a spell of 10 deliveries.

'Poor refereeing cost me gold'

New Delhi: World Championship silver medalist wrestler Amit Kumar on Tuesday said that a bad umpiring decision at the fag-end of his bout cost him a deserving gold medal in the final of the 55kg category against Iran's Hassan Farman Rahimi.


Asian Champion Amit Kumar had to settle for silver after going down 1-2 against Rahimi on the opening day of World Wrestling Championships on Monday at the Papp Laszlo Arena in Budapest, Hungary.
Talking over phone from Budapest, the 19-year-old Asian champion said he was "disappointed" to have narrowly missed the opportunity to equal the record of two-time Olympic medalist and countrymate Sushil Kumar — the only Indian to have won gold in the World Championships in the 2010 Moscow edition.
"It was a tough final against Rahimi and we both fought tooth and nail. The referee gave me a warning for engaging in defensive and shadow wrestling. In reality, it was the other way round as the Iranian was getting back on my moves. He was more defensive and the point should have come my way," Amit lamented.
"In the first round, I took the first point and twice came close to pinning him down in the second round. We were tied at 1-1 in the first round. In the next round, the referee awarded him the crucial point.
"Referee was warning me for not attacking Rahimi but the official should have warned the Iranian for not responding to my moves. In the end moments of my bout (second three-minute round), he awarded him a point which left me disappointed. It was clear that I was the one who was more attacking throughout the bout," he added.


The 2012 Asian Championship bronze medalist further added that referee's warning led to distraction which cost him the final bout.
Coach Virender Kumar, who has accompanied the 24-member Indian contingent at the World Championship, also made his displeasure known when he said his ward was "very impressive" throughout the match and deserved to win the yellow metal.
"It was a good fight but referee's decision put paid to his hopes. He has got good skills which he amply showed against Rahimi. It was a bad decision by the referee but nevertheless, I am happy for Amit who made the whole nation proud," said Kumar.
Amit emulated Bishamber Singh who had won silver in World freestyle wrestling championship in Delhi. En route his final bout, Amit defeated Sezar Akgul of Turkey 8-0 in the semifinal, Agelo Alesmo Escobedo of the USA 6-0 in the quarters, Zoheir Elo Arraque of France 8-0 in the third round, Yasuhiro Inaba of Japan 10-2 in the second round while in the first round, he had got a bye.
Amit thanked Sushil and London Olympics bronze medalist Yogeshwar Dutt for encouraging him before each bout.


"Their kind words helped me a lot. They always egged me on before every bout. I had a word with my mother (Sheila Devi) before the semis and she was happy with my performance," said the wrestler from Nahri near Sonipat in Haryana
