Mitchell Johnson and Nathan Hauritz struck at the death of the final session as India collapsed from 354-5 to 408 all out. Earlier, Sachin Tendulkar had fallen just two runs short of his 49th Test century to provide the cornerstone of the Indian response. The home side looked set to comfortably pass Australia's 428 before Johnson removed captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh in consecutive deliveries as the Indian tail folded. Johnson then completed his five-wicket haul by trapping Suresh Raina lbw before he could reach his hundred, while Nathan Hauritz was rewarded for his patience with the wickets of Zaheer Khan and VVS Laxman. India continued day three on 110-2 after customary fireworks from Virender Sehwag the evening before. Nightwatchman Ishant Sharma and Rahul Dravid frustrated the Australia attack with a partnership of 45 before the former fell for 18. This brought together the wise pairing of Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, who set about constructing another lengthy stay at the crease. However, the pair could only add 79 – Doug Bollinger tempting Dravid who edged through to Tim Paine. Raina, playing in his third Test match, joined Tendulkar and it was not long before the blend of youth and experience was having the desired effect for the hosts. The pair took India well past the 300 mark to put their side firmly in the driving seat. However, a rash shot across the line denied Tendulkar his hundred after perhaps being relaxed by the introduction of part-time spinner Marcus North. It was to trigger the collapse as Johnson, buoyed by the dismissal of the Tendulkar, tore into the tail. Hauritz delivered the final blows to leave India trailing by 23 runs. Leaving United never crossed my mind, insists Carrick Posted: 03 Oct 2010 03:47 PM PDT Manchester United’s Michael Carrick insists he wants to end his career at Old Trafford despite recent speculation over his future. A number of sources suggested that newly-appointed Aston Villa manager Gerard Houiller is eager to sign the former Tottenham playmaker to bolster his midfield. The 29-year-old, who has two years left on his current contract at Old Trafford, has struggled to retain a regular starting place in Sir Alex Ferguson’s side this season but insists he has never been tempted by a move away. “I have seen some stories suggesting I’d be leaving last summer but I take no notice. It’s part of the game,” said Carrick. “I have never thought I was on my way out of United, not for one minute. It has never entered my mind. And neither has the manager said anything to me.” Carrick, who has made 191 appearances for United but has only featured three times so far this season, says he still feels very much part of the Red Devils’ success. “This is a great place to be and results like the one against Valencia make it all worthwhile when you play a part in something like that. He added: “I have the rest of this season and next season left on my contract and I would like to stay here for the rest of my career.” Roy Hodgson: We must turn around ‘unacceptable start’ Posted: 03 Oct 2010 03:36 PM PDT BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE, 3 October 2010 Liverpool 1 Blackpool 2 As the final whistle blew at Anfield on Sunday the Kop chanted the name of Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish. It is a clear indicator of the pressure Roy Hodgson is under and the expectations he must meet. Liverpool have made their worst ever start to a Premier League season and find themselves third from bottom in England's top flight – arguably the exact polar opposite of where the Reds both used, and expected, to be. The only moment of joy in Liverpool's clash with Blackpool came in the early moments of the second half, when defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos latched onto a quick free-kick from Steven Gerrard and headed past Matthew Gilks to score the Reds’ only goal of the game. But by then the damage had already been done. Charlie Adam had converted from the penalty spot after Glen Johnson had tripped Luke Varney to offer Ian Holloway’s Tangerines the opportunity to take the lead mid-way through the first half. With the half time whistle drawing closer Blackpool pushed forward, finding themselves in huge amounts of space in the Liverpool half and allowing for Gary Taylor-Fletcher to play a ball through the Reds’ back four and to Varney, who blasted a shot past Pepe Reina to further extend the visitor’s lead. Liverpool's second-half performance was considerably better than their showing in the first period, but their domination of possession was not enough to amount to an equaliser. As has often been the case, Liverpool without Fernando Torres—who limped off in the ninth minute—lacked the cutting-edge in front of goal. “It is a very bad start to the season, a start we could never have envisaged,” said Hodgson after the match. “It is a start we are really unhappy with and we have got to live with it that’s the way it is. “It is a strange season the way it has gone so far. We are very, very unhappy that after four home games and three away we have six points and that is not acceptable. “We have a lot of work to turn the situation around.” The Liverpool boss spoke of Liverpool's poor first half, but felt the performance was much improved in the second period. “I thought [in the] first half Blackpool played well, but we were not near anywhere where we should be,” added Hodgson. “Unfortunately we went down to a second goal on the stroke of half-time, but in the second half you see a totally different team.” Liverpool will now have to regroup after the international break with the Reds’ fixture list empty for the next two weeks. Once the players return from international duty Hodgson’s men travel to Goodison Park, where a win could get their season back on track and a defeat could send it spiralling out of control. Ferguson hails ‘fantastic’ defensive performance Posted: 03 Oct 2010 11:25 AM PDT Sir Alex Ferguson hailed Manchester United’s defensive stability following his side’s goalless draw at Sunderland on Saturday. The United boss, whose side have yet to win away from Old Trafford this season, said: “Sunderland had the most chances in the game and I have to say we were fantastic defensively. “That’s the area in which we have been leaking goals and throwing games away this season, so I am pleased with that.” Ferguson admitted he was satisfied with a solitary point and acknowledged his side were forced to battle hard against stubborn opposition in the form of Steve Bruce’s men. “I can’t class today’s as a disappointment because we had to battle to get the point today,” added Ferguson. “It was a very determined Sunderland team, their home record this season has been very, very good, so I am not pleased but I am satisfied.” Juventus’ Leonardo Bonucci relishing Inter showdown Posted: 03 Oct 2010 11:14 AM PDT Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci believes there will be a special atmosphere inside the San Siro when his team take on Inter Milan tonight. He said: “I feel a great desire to play; Inter and Juventus are the history of Italian football.” Bonucci, who spent two years at the San Siro with Inter but only made four appearances for the Nerazzurri, spoke highly of the club which helped his development as a youngster coming through the ranks. “I will always thank Inter,” said the 23-year-old. “It was the club that allowed me to enter the sport. I will always carry the experience of the two years in which I trained with Ibrahimovic and others.” Juventus signed the defender from Bari this summer after an impressive season for the Puglia club in which he formed a strong partnership with Andrea Ranocchia to help them maintain one of the best defensive records in Serie A. The Old Lady have struggled in defence in the early part of the current campaign but Bonucci believes his side simply need time to adapt to their new signings. “The team is almost entirely new and there is little time to train,” he added. “We play every three days so it is not so easy to try again and again during the week.” Meanwhile, Inter anchorman Esteban Cambiasso insists the reigning Italian and European champions are not afraid of Sunday’s visitors to the San Siro. “We are calm,” said Cambiasso. “We are top of the table when and we are confident of our potential.” You are subscribed to email updates from The Sport Review To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.
