Johnson rattles SA

Injured Smith may miss the series

AFP, Durban
Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson took two wickets in his first over and forced South African captain Graeme Smith and key batsman Jacques Kallis to retire hurt on a dramatic second day of the second Test at Kingsmead here on Saturday.
South africa were 138-7 at stumps in reply to Australia's first innings total of 352, still needing 15 runs to save the follow-on with JP Duminy battling bravely on 73 not out and along with him was Dale Steyn batting on 8.
Johnson took two wickets in his first over, then struck Smith with the third ball of his next over to throw the South African innings into disarray after the hosts had fought back earlier in the day, taking the last six Australian wickets for 49 runs, including the last five for four runs in 18 balls.
Smith had a fracture at the base of the little finger on his right hand, an injury likely to keep him out of action for two or three weeks, almost certainly ruling him out of the third and final Test, while making his further participation in the current game doubtful.
Kallis made 22 in a 50-run partnership with Duminy when Johnson, in the first over of his second spell, struck him on the jaw with a lifting deliv-
ery. He was led off the field bleeding.
His replacement, Mark Boucher, was bowled by Johnson off the last ball before tea.
Kallis returned after tea but was out at the same score to
McDonald, who finished the day with 3-25.

Another foreign recruit, a Nigerian who comes in to play alongside compatriot and B. League top scorer Alamu Bukola, will join the locals to swell the Old Town club's ranks.
Mohammedan manager Amirul Islam Babu raised the issue of refereeing standards saying that they hoped foreign referees would be bought in to officiate as he felt that the locals were not up to the mark when it came to judging a tournament ofsuch magnitude.
Surprise packages Rahmatganj, who make it to the Super Cup on the back of their stellar performance in the B. League seemed confident of pulling out at least a few upsets.
New coach Mir Faruk, who has been with the club for only four days said, "Our group is really strong in the Super Cup, so we have to play our best football to stay in the contest"
Captain Francis, who hails from Nigeria, was quick to thank the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) for injecting so much cash (Tk 1 crore in prize money) into football and said that Rahmatganj stood a good chance of causing some upsets.
"With the help of Idris [his fellow countryman] and Felix [an Ugandan importl, 1 think our team is strong enough to put up a challenge."
