My job is to bowl well- Salvi Avishkar Salvi is one man who is making the right moves. The 21-year-old, who has caught the eye of everybody, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly included, made an encouraging ODI debut against Bangladesh in the TVS Cup opener that India won by 200 runs. Salvi's McGrathesque action and his ability to move the ball both ways at serious pace were noticeable during his economical seven-over spell that earned him two Bangladeshi wickets. "The two wickets have given me a lot of confidence. I was a little jittery playing my first match but my captain backed me. I soon settled down," the soft-spoken Salvi said later. "My job is to bowl well. I am not really concerned whether I will be in the team later or not," he went on to add. Salvi also acknowledged the debt he owed to Frank Tyson, the former England fast bowler, who fine-tuned his action at a camp in Mumbai. "Tyson corrected my bowling action and worked with me. His tips proved very useful as I have gone from strength to strength," Salvi, who is now concentrating developing a well-disguised slower delivery and a yorker, said.

Sehwag needs to do justice to his potential - Ganguly Two emphatic wins in their first two matches in the TVS Cup has placed India in a position of comfort. But captain Sourav Ganguly feels that there still is room for improvement. He was disappointed, in particular, by the manner in which his vice-captain Virender Sehwag got out against South Africa despite making a good start. "He played a very poor shot at that stage. He is definitely capable of doing better. I think he is not utilising his potential to the full (sic.). He should be getting bigger scores," Ganguly said. When asked to give his observations on Shaun Pollock's surprisingly late arrival into the bowling attack, Ganguly said, "It's (South Africa.s) a new team and they may have wanted to try out new things. That is what I think". The Indian skipper refused to write off the South African pace attack following the 153-run win, which was achieved after the Indian batsmen piled on 307/4 in the afternoon. "It's too early to judge them on the basis of one performance. The conditions were tough for the bowlers. They have a young side and it will take some time for them to adjust," he said. Debutant South African captain Graeme Smith, for his part, said that his team would have to try and avoid repeating the mistakes they made. "We have a young team and we are going through a transition phase. There are bound to be some mistakes. We have to learn and keep learning," he said. He accepted that his bowlers had failed him. "They did not bowl well. We had a lot of discussions on how to bowl but it just did not work out. They have to hit the right length," he said.

No prize-money for TVS Cup winners With the TVS group only agreeing to sponsor the Man-of-the-Match and Man-of-the-Series awards, the winner of the ongoing tri-series tournament in Dhaka will not receive any prize-money. Mahbubul Anam, the chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.s (BCB) cricket committee, made the announcement after The Statesman carried a report criticising the BCB for its ineptitude in signing a contract which ensures that broadcaster and main sponsor ESPN-STAR Sports would walk away with almost all of the advertising revenue from the tournament.
