Hamilton is fastest at Sepang

Hamilton is already looking good in Malaysia.Felipe Massa had dominated the first session and the Ferraris had once again held the upper hand for the majority of the second 90-minute practice period.But Hamilton produced a lap of one minute 35.055 seconds, the fastest of the day, to edge out Massa by just over a tenth of a second with Kimi Raikkonen 0.373secs back in third, demonstrating the championship pacesetter will be a force to be reckoned with in Sepang.Raikkonen had set a time of 1min 36.045secs early in the session, which proved the benchmark for a period until the Finn shattered his own mark by over four tenths.Sebastian Vettel then jumped into a surprise second place with a strong effort, posting a lap of 1:36.474secs before first Hamilton and then Massa surpassed the Toro Rosso.Hamilton had edged into second with a time of 1:36.414secs, which he subsequently improved, but Massa leapfrogged the Brit by seven tenths before going even quicker, the Brazilian's effort of 1:35.687secs marginally trailing that of team-mate Raikkonen.But it was not long before Massa hit the front and then extended his advantage after crossing the line in 1:35:206secs.Raikkonen tried to hit back but his time of 1:35:592secs was only a slight improvement on his best.And as the session wound down, Hamilton produced his late effort and one that neither Massa nor Raikkonen could better, though the latter did go quicker in recording a lap of 1:35.428.Jenson Button snatched fourth place late on, albeit nearly a second off the pace, to raise hopes Honda could be battling for points on Sunday, while Vettel eventually claimed fifth.Jarno Trulli was sixth in the Toyota, Heikki Kovalainen seventh in the second McLaren while Robert Kubica's BMW Sauber rounded out the top eight.

: Dhoni criticised by former captain

Former India captains Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi and Bishan Singh Bedi have criticised current one-day skipper Mahenda Singh Dhoni for his comments on team selection.honi admitted in an interview he had told selectors his picks for the Commonwealth Ban Series in Australia with the intention of "sending a message" to certain players.The selectors heeded his recommendations by selecting a young squad and omitting senior players such as Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman.The decision was vindicated after India won the CB Series, but Dhoni's comments have not been well received in some quarters.Pataudi, who captained India in 46 Tests, told newspaper Mid-Day: "He is giving leeway to people who are a bit young. It is not necessary to say such things, especially in public."He should understand that other responsibilities come with the captaincy. He has to choose his words carefully."Bedi, a former left-arm spinner, concurred with Pataudi, saying: "It is immature to make such a statement. Any statement that disturbs the dressing room atmosphere should be avoided."Anything that leads to suspicious frowns in the dressing room is avoidable. I don't know what he is trying to prove by saying this.That is why the board's role is very important in such situations. Board officials must ensure nobody makes such irresponsible comments. But I will give him the benefit of the doubt because of his immaturity." India have recalled Dravid, Ganguly and Laxman for the upcoming Test series against South Africa starting on March 26 in Chennai.

Terry

John Terry is happy with Arsenal and Manchester United being in the limelight at this stage of the season and feels Chelsea can take advantage of their new underdog status.

United have been in hot pursuit of Arsenal in the Barclays Premier League, while Arsene Wenger's men have taken the plaudits in the Champions League this week following their epic win against AC Milan.

Chelsea are only seven points off the pace and have to play their title rivals at Stamford Bridge, where they have not lost for two years in league action.

They also eased into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with victory over Olympiacos this week and they face Barnsley tomorrow in the FA Cup.

However, there has been little talk of a treble since the Carling Cup final defeat to Tottenham at Wembley.

"We like it that way," said skipper Terry.

"A few people are slowly mentioning us but we are out of the way at the minute and hopefully we can stay that way as long as possible until the end and then can put some pressure on.

"If we can keep winning and putting pressure on that's all we can do."

Tykes boss Simon Davey is ready to burst their bubble, though, and he believes lightning can strike twice after his side dismissed Liverpool last time out.

The Tykes pulled off one of the greatest FA Cup shocks for many seasons when they beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield in the last round.

"Anything's possible," said Davey.

"We've already beaten Liverpool at Anfield, so why can't we beat Chelsea at Oakwell? We've only lost twice at home all season.

"Of course, Chelsea are a different proposition to any team we've played here this season as they've multi-million pound players, internationals in every position

"But my players have a belief that every time they take to the pitch, they can win, and I'm not going to take that away from them."

Manchester United continue their quest for three trophies against Portsmouth and Darren Fletcher believes the fierce competition for places will drive them towards their goals.

Already in the Champions League quarter-finals, the Old Trafford club will be aiming to reach the FA Cup semi-finals when they face Harry Redknapp's team.

After spending much of the season on the fringes of Sir Alex Ferguson's side, midfielder Fletcher has started three of the last five matches and is relishing the opportunity to shine.

He said: "When you get a chance to play you really have to grasp it because there is such fierce competition for places.

"The manager has a great squad to choose from so when you do get the nod you have to go there and perform to a high level."

Pompey striker Milan Baros believes an away assignment against the Red Devils is the most difficult tie in the round, but refuses to write off his side's chances.

"It was the worst draw we could have got.

"But that's football for you. We'll go there full of confidence and with a great away record," he said.

"At the very least we feel we can get the draw to bring them back down to Fratton Park."

Middlesbrough goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer is relishing the chance to book his place at the new Wembley Stadium when his side face Cardiff on Sunday.

Schwarzer missed Boro's 1997 final appearance because he was cup-tied, making him doubly anxious to help his side book their last four place at the national stadium this time around.

Schwarzer told Boro's official website, www.mfc.co.uk: "I played at the old stadium and I haven't had the chance to play at the new one yet so that would be an unbelievable occasion.

"It's the new Wembley now, it's a lot bigger and a lot better and it's an opportunity you really don't want to let slip by. For me it is a big incentive."

Meanwhile, the Australian goalkeeper's opposite number, Cardiff number one Peter Enckelman, insists his side's run to the FA Cup quarter-finals is not the reason for their recent poor league form.

The Bluebirds head to The Riverside with just one victory from their last seven games - the win over Wolves in the previous round.

Ishant relying on pace

India fast bowler Ishant Sharma is not prepared to compromise on his pace for more accuracy as he believes speed is his main weapon.

The 19-year-old was impressive in the Tests against Australia and was influential in the recent Commonwealth Bank Series, where he took 14 wickets from nine matches.

The Delhi-born paceman dominated the Australia batsmen, particularly skipper Ricky Ponting, with his pace, bounce and movement, and of those attributes, Ishant ranks pace as the most important.

"I want to become a complete fast bowler. I always concentrate on line and length and variations without compromising on pace. I know speed is my strength," he said.

Ishant was happy with his performances and admits he tried to steer clear of the "distractions" Down Under.

"I was told it would be very tough but I made a promise to myself that I would make the most of it," he told the Hindu.

"I had to learn on and off the field and there was no place for any distractions. I was not going to allow my cricket to be dominated."

The three-month long tour has taken its toll though and Ishant has been advised to rest for two to three weeks by India physio John Gloster.

Hopes is the highest paid player in low key auction

Hopes was the highest paid player in the second IPL auction. (Action Images/Tim Wimborne)

James Hopes of Australia turned out to be the highest paid player in the second IPL

auction in Mumbai on Tuesday which lacked all the hoopla of the first auction last month.

Hopes was bought over by Jaipur for Rs 1.2 crore, a staggering amount when compared to what the other players were paid.

Pakistan's Misbah-ul-Haq was the first to set off the blocks when he was purchased by Bangalore Royal Challengers. His teamamte Mohammad Yousuf again failed to find any buyers in the second round. IPL may have to pay him his base price of 330,000 dollars in any case. Two more players from Pakistan, Salmaan Butt and Mohammad Hafeez found their way to Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders.

Mohammad Ashraful of Bangladesh was another player who did not find any takers but his teammate Abdur Razzak was bought over by Bangalore.

Dimitri Mascerenhas of England was purchased by Jaipur though there was no English player on the list. The English County season will clash with the IPL matches but his County Hampshire said it will issue him a no-objection certificate.

Soth Africans Ashwell Prince and Mornie Morkel were bought over by Mumbai and Jaipur respectively.

Besides the international cricketers, the day belonged to the under-19 cricketers who were on a high after their World Cup triumph. Captain Virat Kohli went to Bangalore along with teammate Shreevats Goswami while fast bowler Pradeep Sangwan stepped into Delhi.

Jaipur recruited Taruwar Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja from the under-19 team while Kolkata will have the services of Siddhart Kaul and Iqbal Abdulla.

Ireland on top

ireland skipper Brian O'Driscoll will be out for only three to four weeks after a scan delivered a positive diagnosis on his hamstring tear.

O'Driscoll limped off in the 75th minute of Saturday's 16-12 RBS 6 Nations defeat by Wales after being hit by a tackle while stripping the ball on the ground.

It was initially thought the Leinster centre would be sidelined for up to two months but tests revealed the damage was not as severe as first feared.

An Irish Rugby Football Union statement released on Monday night read: "A scan on Brian O'Driscoll's left hamstring this afternoon has confirmed the presence of a moderate tear.

"The injury is not as bad as was first feared and it is expected that this will prevent him from playing for a period of between three and four weeks."

Leinster currently top the Magners League and the news means O'Driscoll will be available for the title run-in - possibly in time for the home clash with Munster on April 12.

The 29-year-old has already been ruled out of Ireland's Six Nations finale against England but will return well before the summer tour to New Zealand and Australia in June.

O'Driscoll's absence has left Ireland without their first-choice centre partnership against England as Gordon D'Arcy is already missing because of a fractured forearm.

Ireland name their team for Twickenham - a happy hunting ground during the last two visits - at lunchtime tomorrow with Shane Horgan expected to plug the gap in midfield.

Horgan looks set to move from right wing to inside centre with Andrew Trimble moving one place down the line.

The make-up of the back-three depends on the availability of Geordan Murphy and Girvan Dempsey, who missed out against Wales because of their respective Achilles and hip injuries.

If neither recovers in time, exciting Leinster youngster could be in line for a start on the wing.

O'Sullivan has been urged in some quarters to throw caution to the wind against the World Cup finalists on Saturday by experimenting with a handful of new faces.

On the face of it there may not be much at stake - third and fourth place will be decided - but to finish outside the top three would represent Ireland's worst championship since 1999.

O'Sullivan has indicated that the Irish Rugby Football Union will decide what approach to take at Twickenham, although his innate conservatism ensures his recommendation involves his tried and tested.

"Whether I experiment against England depends on what the union wants," he said.

"There's one game left in the Six Nations and you don't make strategic changes likes that in a middle of a tournament. You don't base it on winning or losing one match.

"I've always been told that whatever it takes, go out there to win every game. That's the job.

"No-one has come to me and said we'll see how things go. If you want to throw a few young players on at Twickenham don't be afraid of it.

"You can go that road but that's not the way the IRFU see it. Every other Ireland coach has been in the same position.

It was a disaster waiting to happen

Catastrophe, humilitation, despair and national shame - just some of the adjectives that were used on Indian television and newspapers following the team's failure to qualify for the Olympics since making their debut in 1928.

While I was sad and heartbroken, I also knew that what had happened was inevitable. It was like a disaster waiting to happen. And all hell broke loose once India went down 0-2 to Britain in Chile. The blame game started and the media got enough fodder to chew on till the next round of breaking news and just ins.

Most of the channels went down to the street asking the "common man" about their reactions to this "debacle". Some of the smarter reporters added another question: "Could you name five members of the present squad?" The answer was an eerie silence.

Coach Joaquim Carvalho stepped down. "I did my best, but it was not enough. So, it is time to keep my word and step down, for I have failed to deliver," he said.

At least Carvalho was honest, a trait missing in the officialdom of the Indian Hockey Federation. For Carvalho it must have been deja vu. He was a member of the Indian team that finished 12th and last in the 1986 World Cup in Willesden, London.

The truth is that Indian hockey has been in a free fall for close to two decades. Almost 16 years ago, late Indian coach Balkishen Singh had contemplated resignation since India were on the verge of not qualifying for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. India finally did, on goal difference.

Ahmedabad Rockets tame Chandigarh Lions

The newest team on board the ICL Ahmedabad Rockets beat Chandigargh Lions by 19-runs in the inaugural match of the second edition of Indian Cricket League Twenty20 tournament on Sunday night.

Chasing 159 to win, Lions were in the game with skipper Chris Cairns (21) and Dinesh Mongia (16) at the crease after they lost three top-order batsmen.

Opener Matthew Elliott (39) was the only batsman who made some useful contribution for the Lions.

However, Cairns fell to Jason Gillespie and soon after Mongia departed, falling to Heath Streak, reducing Lions to 113 for 5 in 16.2 overs.

With the asking rate shooting up, the task would always be cut out for the Lions lower order batsmen, who only managed to take the total to 139 for 6.

Earlier, Ahmedabad Rockets had a splendid start after winning the toss, with former West Indian left-hander Wavell Hinds flowing freely.

Hinds, who opened the innings along with Madhya Pradesh batsman Sachin Dholpure, hit five huge sixes and three fours to reach 53 in just 43 balls before being run out.

Dholpure, too, looked in sublime touch and scored briskly accumulating 54 runs in just 43 balls, which included three sixes and four boundaries. Both the batsmen were involved in a 122-run stand for the first wicket.

Mongia applied brakes on Rockets' innings by dismissing Dholpure and then cleaned up rival skipper Damien Martyn for 2.

Australia GP: F1 Race start could be moved

It has been decided Sunday's event at Melbourne's Albert Park will start at 3.30pm, rather than 2pm, to attract a larger television audience across Europe and Asia.

If that proves a success, organisers may then start next year's grand prix at 5pm in the hope that will appease Ecclestone, who has long called for the race to become a night-time event, or run the risk of losing their contract beyond 2010.

Australian Grand Prix Corporation chairman Ron Walker said: "If starting the race later this year increases the television audience around the world, as we believe it will, we'll seek a 5pm start for the 2009 race.

"That will mean a 7am start time for the television coverage in Europe, finishing at about 8.40am; a 6am start time in the UK, finishing at about 7.40am; and an afternoon start and finish across the Asian continent where there are potentially hundreds of millions of extra viewers.

Els breezes at Palm Beach

Ernie Els overcame a three-shot deficit to win the Honda Classic at PGA National on Sunday.

Els fired a three-under-par 67 to finish on six-under, a shot clear of Englishman Luke Donald.

The South African bogeyed the 17th but Donald, Mark Calcavecchia and Matt Jones could not catch him over the final holes as Els claimed his first PGA Tour win since the American Express Championship in 2004.

Donald, Calcavecchia and Jones, started the day tied for the lead at six-under but all three recorded over-par rounds.

Donald shot a one-over 71, while Calcavecchia and Jones each recorded three-over 73s.

Nathan Green finished third on four-under after posting a 67, while Calcavecchia and Jones tied for fourth with Robert Allenby, who shot a 70, at three-under.

Australia RFU chief executive John O`Neill said: "It promises to be a full-blooded encounter between two of the sport's heavyweights.

"This is not an exhibition game."
