International cricket in 2005-06
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article contains information on International cricket in the 2005-06 cricket season, as defined by Cricinfo - mainly containing the results of tours from September 2005 until May 2006. In this time, all the ten Test nations played Test cricket, and the first ICC Super Series was held, between Australia and an ICC World XI. The season opening Super Series saw Australia win all three ODIs and the lone Test.
Australia and South Africa toured each other once, with Australia winning both Test series, 2–0 at home and 3–0 in South Africa. Australia also won the VB Series ODI tournament at home, but went down 2–3 in the away ODIs in South Africa, as South Africa chased a world record total to win the fifth and final ODI. South Africa also managed to beat New Zealand in ODI matches in October, before travelling to India in November and drawing their series there 2–2. In the same month, Australia whitewashed West Indies for the Frank Worrell Trophy.
Ashes winners England went on two tours of the subcontinent, first in late 2005 against Pakistan and then in March and April 2006 against India. They didn't win any of the series, but their 1–1 result in India was their best since 1985.
India, under their coach Greg Chappell, who took over in May 2005, lost a triangular tournament final in Zimbabwe to New Zealand in August, but then went on to draw South Africa 2–2, before beating Sri Lanka 6–1, Pakistan 4–1 and England 5–1 in ODIs. They did lose the Test series in Pakistan, however, who went through their eight Tests in the 2005–06 season unbeaten, and also beat England and Sri Lanka in ODIs.
Sri Lanka fell from second to sixth place in the ICC ODI Championship after losing to India, New Zealand, and the VB Series final to Australia, though they did keep South Africa out of the final. They were seventh on 1 April, a cut off point for determining the groups of the 2006 Champions Trophy, and their placing meant they had to qualify for said tournament. They played two series with Bangladesh, one home and one away, winning both Test series 2–0 but losing one ODI at Bogra.
New Zealand played a summer full of ODI cricket, and went without a Test from 19 August 2005 to 9 March 2006 after their Test series in South Africa was postponed into April. After going down 0–4 in the ODIs in South Africa, they lost the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy to Australia in December, but beat Sri Lanka and West Indies at home, and also beat West Indies 2–0 in their three-Test series. However, they went down 0–2 in the three-Test series in South Africa that rounded off the season.
West Indies went on tours Down Under, failing to take the Frank Worrell Trophy for the sixth time since 1992–93, and also losing both ODIs and Tests to New Zealand. Shivnarine Chanderpaul retired as captain after the season, which meant Brian Lara took up the job for the third time in his career. Bangladesh lost all their six Test matches, though they earned a first-innings lead of 158 against Australia in the first of their two Tests, and recorded one ODI win against Sri Lanka, and whitewashed Kenya 4–0 after the Kenyans had come off a 2–2 draw in Zimbabwe Zimbabwe voluntarily withdrew from Test cricket after three innings defeats and a ten-wicket loss in their home Tests in August and September, along with internal power struggles and elimination from their home ODI tournament.
In women's cricket, India were the most active, first beating England 4–1 in home ODIs and then winning the Women's Asia Cup after going unbeaten through the three-team tournament in Pakistan. However, their tour of Australasia ended in four losses (three ODI, one Test) to Australia, and one win in five ODIs against New Zealand. England Women also toured Sri Lanka, winning both ODIs, and drew a Test in Delhi. The season also included the youth World Cup in Sri Lanka, which Pakistan U–19 won after defending 109 in the final against India U–19.

[edit] Sri Lankans in India
Sri Lanka toured India in two legs - first a one-day leg lasting from 2005-10-25 to 2005-11-12, and then a first-class leg lasting from 2005-11-26 to 2005-12-22. The staggering of the series was done to prevent collision with India's one-day series with South Africa. India dropped their captain, Sourav Ganguly, for this series, and in his place Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag shared captaincy duties. India's last matches with Sri Lanka, in the Indian Oil Cup, had ended in a 3–0 win for the Lankans, and India's last series victory over Sri Lanka came in the three-team 2002 NatWest Series on neutral ground in England. However, India won the first four one-day internationals to secure the series win, lost the fifth, but came back to win the sixth after leaving captain Rahul Dravid out - the first ODI outside Bangladesh Dravid had missed since the 2002 NatWest Series.
The Test series was won by India as well, this time 2–0, with three and a half days of play of the first Test lost due to rain. In the second Test, India took a 60-run lead on first innings after Anil Kumble took six for 72, and four half-centuries (from Irfan Pathan, Yuvraj Singh, Rahul Dravid and M. S. Dhoni) gave India 375 more runs before declaring. Kumble then completed a ten-for in the match as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 247, losing by 188 runs. In the second match, the margin of victory was even more convincing, Kumble getting seven wickets and Harbhajan Singh ten as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 206 and 249 on their way to a 259-run loss.

This is also known as the Frank Worrell Trophy. The West Indies visit Australia for the second time in three seasons, playing three Tests in November 2005 before leaving again. The first Test was won by Australia inside four days, with Ricky Ponting making two centuries and Shane Warne and Brett Lee recording five-fors in the first and second innings respectively. West Indies took the second Test into the fifth day despite conceding a 257-run deficit on first innings, after Dwayne Bravo hit a Test career highest score of 113, but Australia still won by nine wickets. The third Test saw Brian Lara become the second batsman in Test history to reach 11,000 runs. However, after a century from Mike Hussey, 99 from Justin Langer and six for 80 from Shane Warne, Australia won by seven wickets to take a 3–0 victory in the Test series.

The English cricket team toured Pakistan in October, November and December 2005. England were looking to maintain the form that had taken them to second place in the ICC Test Championship, and to victory in the 2005 Ashes series at home to Australia, but they suffered a sharp reversal of fortune, losing the Test series 2–0 to Pakistan. Pakistan also won the one day series by 3 games to 2.

[edit] South Africans in India
South Africa toured India for an ODI-only tour in November 2005. Though there were five matches scheduled, the series ended in a draw, as the match at Chennai was rained off. South Africa won the first match at Hyderabad after winning the toss, fielding, and having the Indians 35 for 5 after dismissing Sehwag, Tendulkar, Kaif, Dravid and Gambhir for single-figure scores. A hundred from Yuvraj Singh brought the total to 249 for 9, but Jacques Kallis put on 84 with Justin Kemp and South Africa made it home in the penultimate over. India came back in the second match, as seven maiden overs from India kept the run rate below 3.5 and Sehwag hit an unbeaten 77 to take India to a six-wicket win. The third match was abandoned, but the fourth saw Graeme Smith hit 134 not out - the highest score of the series - as South Africa chased 189 without losing wicket. In the final game, Irfan Pathan took three for 20, helping to limit South Africa to 221 for 6, and Dravid made 78 as India made it home with five wickets to spare to draw the game. Yuvraj and Smith made the most runs in the series, both making 209, while Shaun Pollock took the most wickets with 7.

[edit] Under-19 Tri Series in Bangladesh
Bangladesh Under-19 will play England Under-19 and Sri Lanka Under-19 for a nine-match tri-series in November and December 2005. Bangladesh won the group stage of the tournament, winning five of their six matches, while England finished last after losing all six matches. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka thus contest the final, and Bangladesh won two of their three internal meetings in the group stage. They added another victory in the final, winning the tournament after Saqibul Hasan took three wickets, bowled two maiden overs, and scored exactly 100 from number three in the batting order to help Bangladesh to a six–wicket win.

[edit] Chappell–Hadlee Trophy
- See also: Chappell-Hadlee Trophy 2005-06
This is an annual ODI tournament between Australia and New Zealand. The last series, in Australia, ended 1–1, so the trophy was shared before this series in New Zealand. In the first match, Brett Lee became Man of the Match after getting bowling figures of 6–4–5–3, and New Zealand were bowled out for 105 to lose by 147 runs. The second match saw an Australian record partnership between Michael Clarke and Andrew Symonds, who added 220 for the fifth wicket, Symonds hitting eight sixes and twelve fours on his way to a record score in ODIs between the two sides. His 156 was the third-highest by an Australian against any opponent, and the stand with Clarke paved the way for a total of 322 for 5. New Zealand had Lou Vincent hit 71 off 49 balls before he was first out, on 93 for 1, but rookie bowlers Mick Lewis and Stuart Clark (with four ODIs between them) shared four wickets, and New Zealand needed 53 from 33 balls when Jacob Oram cut a bouncer to Clark for 41. Brendon McCullum added 24 with substitute James Marshall, before the latter was run out, and New Zealand still needed 24 off the final two overs. That over yielded 18 runs, as Brett Lee bowled a no-ball and a wide, and another ball was adjudged a no-ball as Australia had too few players inside the circle. Lewis was left to bowl the last over, and with six runs required the last two batsmen were run out, leaving New Zealand on 320 – two runs short of victory. Australia thus clinched the Chappell–Hadlee Trophy with a match to spare. In the third match, Mitchell Johnson was given his debut as Super Sub, coming in after Australia had batted to seven for 331 with four half-centuries. Johnson bowled nine overs for 64, without taking a wicket, and Scott Styris hit a hundred as New Zealand chased down the target for the highest successful run chase in ODI cricket thus far.

[edit] Sri Lankans in New Zealand
This replaces the abandoned tour last year, when the tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake damaged so much of Sri Lanka that the team wanted to go home. Thus, the Sri Lankans are now going to finish off the tour, with four ODIs against New Zealand, before they travel across the Tasman Sea for the VB Series. New Zealand won the first match by seven wickets after their seamers Shane Bond, Kyle Mills and Jacob Oram had taken three wickets each and help bowl Sri Lanka out for 164. ODI debutant Jamie How then made 58, sharing a 95-run stand with the Man of the Match, Peter Fulton who made 70 not out.
