March
13, 2000 The
ongoing tie controversy took a new turn as Kalabagan Krira served a show
cause notice on the Cricket Committee of Dhaka yesterday. The
organizer have been asked to explain within 48 hours as to why Kalabagan
can not toke the help of ICC law to determine the result of their
curtailed match against Abahani Krira Chakra on March 9 at the Bangladesh
National Stadium. Interestingly
though, the CCDM by-laws do not even permit any club to seek legal action
of any kind against the organizers. Earlier
Kalabagan were given a revised target following the loss of a 90-minute
Players scuffle on the pitch. They scored 187 for six in 40 overs (chasing
a revised target of 188 in 40 overs), but Abahani, who one run declared
scor 207 all out in 50 overs, winners. Since
then, Kalabagan are demanding that the fate of the match be decided
applying the ICC cod or Conduct, standard Playing Conditions of Janakantha
Premier Division Cricket League 1999-2000 will only be applicable in this
regard. The
CCDM formulated the bye-laws following the rules and regulation of the
1988 Cod of Conducts of ICC and the BCB-introduced playing condition for
one-dayers. When the ICC manual clearly states Duckworth-Lewis method for
curtailed matches while the CCDM byelaws after ambiguity. The CCDM manual
is no provision for a tie match. Meanwhile,
CCDM secretary Mahmud UL Haq Manu turned down Kalabagan appeal yesterday
saying that the 1999 ICC cod cannot come into playas the target was not
set on the basis of Duckworth-Lewis method. “The
target was given basing on the playing condition of ours. In our byelaws,
there is no such provision. Thus the second team chasing a revised target
cannot clinch a tie, Manu argued. To
the contrary, the Clause Six of Appendix Two of the ICC manual says, “if
team two achieve their required target they win by number of wickets they
have in hand when they reach the score. If they fall short of their
required target by exactly one run, the result is tie.”
However,
to review the whole situation, the CCDM has called an emergency meeting at
the National Stadium today. Source:
