India Clarke, Butt to watch Mohali ODI
Cricket Australia (A) chairman Jack Clarke and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt, would be the guests of honour of the Punjab Cricket Association during the ODI day-night match to be played between India and Australia at the PCA Stadium here on November 2. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) top officials will also be present on the occasion, PCA president and former BCCI president Inderjit Singh Bindra told mediapersons here. He stressed that all arrangements have been completed for the ODI and expressed confidence that the State Police had taken all security precautions. The PCA president dismissed ''any threat from Shiv Sena,'' which, according to media reports had threatened to disrupt the match in protest against racial attacks on Indians in Australia. Learning a lesson from the power breakdown during the Corporate Cricket Tournament, Bindra disclosed that the PCA had down-loaded a new software to reduce the timing of switching over significantly. ''We wanted to purchase generators but could not procure these due to some reasons. However, generators for 15 kv power supply would be installed before the India-Sri Lanka one-day match slated for December 12 in Mohali,'' said Bindra. ''It will take 5 to 25 seconds to switch on generators to provide power supply,'' he said. ''We are fully prepared to conduct the match and this time no major renovation/addition to infrastructure was required. We have installed indoor lights for practice,'' he said. The teams would arrive here tomorrow.
