‘Barcelona keen to clinch Villa deal before WC’

Barcelona are keen to clinch the signing of David Villa from Valencia before the World Cup finals, according to reports in the Spanish media on Tuesday.

Madrid sports daily Marca claimed on Tuesday that Barca president Joan Laporta wants the signing of Villa to be his “farewell present” to the Barca fans.

Laporta will step down as president in June after seven largely successful years in charge.

Marca went on to suggest that Laporta intends to present Villa to the media as a Barca player on May 19, after paying Valencia around 35 million euros (45.18 million dollars) for the Euro 2008 top scorer.

Catalan paper Sport said Valencia want 40 million euros for Villa, and will not accept Barca players in part payment.

Villa, 28, was close to signing for Barca in 2009 and for Real Madrid in 2008.

Bernd Schuster, who was coach of Real in 2008, controversially claimed in March that Real captain Raul and other senior players vetoed the signing of Villa two years ago.

Parties, travelling during IPL took a toll on fitness: Dhoni

India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni refused to blame the IPL for the team’s Twenty20 World Cup debacle but conceded that after-match parties and hectic travelling during the glitzy league did take a toll on the players’ fitness.

“Most of the players were fit and fresh. Players also need to be smart, not only about cricket but about other things going around in the IPL. We have to respect your body and give some time for it to recover because there is more to it than playing matches. Attending parties and travelling takes a toll,” Dhoni said after India’s five-wicket loss against Sri Lanka yesterday that knocked them out of the event.

The defeat was also India’s third successive in the Super Eights stage, a disappointing low for the inaugural champions.

Dhoni said the six-week-long IPL was in itself not responsible for the debacle. “Our performance does not have anything to do with IPL,” said Dhoni.

“I wouldn’t say the IPL was a set back for our preparation. In fact, it has helped us in match preparation for the World Cup. It has thrown up players like (Suresh) Raina, Rohit (Sharma), (Ravindra) Jadeja, (Pragyan) Ohja and (Amit) Mishra. It has groomed a lot of talent.”

Dhoni rejected criticism of the team and said he is least affected by what is said about it.

“As Far as the sloganeering goes, I am not bothered about that. We try and do our best. We play for our country and we are more respectful to our country than those who do these sort of things. They can do whatever they want to,” fumed Dhoni.

He said Indian had done their best although the results have not been too good.

“Whenever we go out there we try to do well. But you won’t do well every time. We tried our best and did whatever we could have, but we still ended up being on the losing side,” said a despondent Dhoni.

The wicketkeeper-batsman commended the Sri Lankans for their all-round show yesterday.

“They batted really well in the end overs. Also, they bowled very well after the 13th over and made it difficult for us to score.

“They were looking to bowl yorkers and to keep the ball outside off stump. You can’t do much when someone bowls perfect yorkers. Me and Raina were out there in the middle. It was really tough. But we were looking to slog everything thing,” he said.

Dhoni said he did not regret batting first yesterday. “I don’t really regret batting first. If we had chased 150 batting second, it would not have been less than 10 runs an over which is tough. Defending 163 was difficult. We fell short by a few runs. Had we scored 180 or more, the target would have been 160-170 and that would have been a good target to defend,” said Dhoni.

Dhoni said this was the best Twenty20 side that India could field.

“We are not performing to our potential. I can’t say why. But at the end of the day this is the best T20 side we have. It gets tough without players like Virender (Sehwag), Zaheer Khan (he suffered a blow on the right thumb) and Praveen Kumar,” he said.

Asked if the Indians’ vulnerability to the rising ball proved to be their downfall, Dhoni said, “I can’t comment on that as you really can’t stretch a tournament for too long. It required a bit of adaptation as we have played in similar conditions quite often. I can’t say the wicket was such and we didn’t perform well.”

He said Indian batsmen had technical problem when it came to playing the short ball.

“Most of us have the problem of playing short pitched balls. So it is not just the youngsters who had problems. We can’t neglect it any more. But we don’t have bowlers who consistently at 145-50 kph and most of wickets in India don’t have that kind of bounce,” he said.

“But we should also remember we are good players of spin. So we shouldn’t be ashamed that we can’t play short-pitch bowling. We have to play even against short-pitch but we can’t be ducking and leaving all the time in Twenty20,” he added.

On whether he was feeling the pressure of captaincy, Dhoni said, “You are always under pressure when you play for India. It is part and parcel of the game. I have not played any game till now when there is no pressure.”

Notwithstanding the debacle in the World Cup, Dhoni said he had faith in his side.

“I have a side with lot of potential to do well, wherever we play. We had two or three poor tournaments. But other than that we have been consistent,” said Dhoni.

Justice Kapadia sworn in as Chief Justice of India

Justice S H Kapadia, the senior most judge of the Supreme Court, was on Wednesday sworn in as the 38th Chief Justice of India by President Pratibha Patil.

The swearing-in of 62-year-old Justice Kapadia at Rashtrapati Bhawan was attended among others by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, his cabinet colleagues, outgoing Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and other dignitaries.

Justice Kapadia, who wants all judges to keep themselves abreast with commercial laws, would remain at the helm of Indian Judiciary till September 29, 2012.

He was associated with a historical judgement in which a five-judge Constitutional Bench had held that the law put in the Ninth Schedule was open for judicial review.

Justice Kapadia’s deep knowledge on wide ranging issues, particularly tax laws, has earned him accolades from the bench and the bar in equal measure.

The judge, who is known for maintaining strict judicial discipline, assumes the office at a crucial time when Indian judiciary is hit by a corruption controversy and perceived failure of in-house mechanism on appointment and elevation of judges.

For the judge, who during his tenure in the apex court since December 18, 2003 has been associated with 771 judgements, his 28-month term as the CJI would be a challenging one against the backdrop of the need to reducing the mounting pendency of the cases not only in the top court but in high courts and trial courts.

However, the real test for Justice Kapadia would be to take a stand on whether or not the office of CJI comes under the ambit of the Right to Information Act as Justice Balakrishnan had consistently maintained that it has to be kept out of the purview of RTI.

The issue assumes importance as the Delhi High Court had dismissed the stand of Justice Balakrishnan after which the Supreme Court Registry appealed to the apex court.

In a letter to former Supreme Court Judge V R Krishna Iyer on May 3, Justice Kapadia had said the only asset he possesses is integrity and hoped to fulfil the Constitutional obligations to achieve the goal of “inclusive growth.”

“I come from a poor family. I started my career as a class IV employee and the only asset I possess is integrity”, he had said.

Justice Kapadia had said, “Even as a judge of the Supreme Court, I have used my knowledge of accounts and economics for the welfare of the downtrodden including tribals and workmen...

”... I hope to fulfil my obligation to the Constitution in the matter of achieving the goal of inclusive growth”, he had said in his letter, replying to a congratulatory message from Justice Iyer following his new appointment as CJI.
