Smith, Botham lay down ghosts
ION DON, May 21: England gained sweet revenge for their World Cup final defeat by Pakistan when
they routed the champtons by 79 runs in the first one day International at Lord's here on Wednesday, reports AFP
The two men who shared the most bitter memories of Pakistan's night of triumph tn Melbourne two months ago were responsible for giving England a flying start to the five-match Texaco Trophy series.
Robin Smith, inconsolable after being left out of the World Cup final line-up. topscored with 85 out of a total of 278 for six earning the man of-the-match award
lan Botham, who was dis missed for a duck in Melbourne, bounced back to centre stage with two key wickets as the tourists collapsed to 199 all out.
It all added up to a tame surrender, but England left Lord's happy enough after reproducing the kind of clinical performance which was the hallmark of their early World Cup campaign
They had started the day a touch controversially by relegating Botham down the order and promoting Alec Stewart.
However, the England vicecaptain who has developed a happy knack of responding to whatever pressure the selectors put on him, made sure a
perfect batting strip was not wasted after Pakistan had put his side In.
He soon lost Graham Gooch, caught behind for nine, but the vice captain was In positive mood from the start and moved smoothly to 50 from 69 deliveries before slicing bwkwar/polnt.
That ended a second wicket stand of 95 with Smith, who looked anything but his usual dominant self to begin with.
However, once Into the 40s and Joined by old sparring partner Alan Lamb, the Hampshire batsman began firing on all cylinders.
Together the South African born pair added 98 In 18 overs with Smith cracking seven boundaries and Lamb five In his 60.
The qniy disappointing phase for England came when Lamb was out — caught superbly at mid wicket by Pakistan skipper Javed Mlandad off a well-struck pull — at the start of the 48th over.
It looked an ideal time to promote Botham, but Gooch stuck rigidly to his scorecard order and just 40 runs came from the final eight overs.
Among the victims during that relatively quiet period was Hick, failing again when Wasim Akram fired an Inswinger through his defences after he had made Just three.
That incident apart, there was little for England to worry
about
For half an hour or so Pakistan threatened to seriously challenge England's total, with Salim Malik sprinting ominously to 24 after Derek Pringle had taught Ramiz Raja off his own bowling In the second over for a duck.
But then up stepped Botham, hungry for a slice of the action after being limited to u minor batting role at number seven.
His sixth delivery was met with a loose drive outside off stump. Stewart did the rest and Malik s departure effectively ended Pakistan s hopes
Just to make sure, Botham swooped to remove big hitter Inzamam-ul-Haq for two when he held a return chance off bat andpad.
That made Pakistan 78 for five, as in the previous 13 balls Pringle had dismissed Mlandad for seven through Hick's diving catch at square leg and Phillip DeFreitas had run out Aamir Sohail for 36 with a magnificent throw to Botham from the boundary. .
Akram and Asif Mujtaba brought some respectability to the score by sharing in a sixth-wicket stand of 83. but once Stewart had stumped Akram off Richard filing worth for 34. the rest of the Innings folded quickly.
Pringle and Hick wiped up the tall. Pringle finishing with one-day best International figures of four for 42.
