T h e w e l l k n o w n B a l ienvironmentalist said the loss of watersources in Bali's hinterlands is due bothto the loss of vegetation and theintensity of ground water exploitation inthose areas.

As a result, the intense demandon ground water has prompted theprovincial government to encourageconservation by increasing the tax onsub-terrain water sources by 1,000percent.

Environmentalists Working toRestore Water to Bali' s VanishingNetwork of Rivers and Streams.

Of the nearly 400 rivers andstreams in Bali, almost 300 are nowclassified as "dry." This condition islinked to the denuding of vegetation inBali's hinterlands and the overuse ofunderground reservoirs of water.

T h e h e a d o f t h e B a l iEnvironmental Agency (BLH), AnakAgung Sastrawan, told BeritaBali.com

that the dry rivers now only carry run offwater when it rains or function asstreams during Bali's "wet season."

Sastrawan said that efforts arenow underway to rehabilitate Bali's

Steps Underway to CleanUp the Image of Bali'sMother Temple Pura Be

Bali's Mother Temple ofPura Besakih sits high on theslopes of Bali's Mount Agung.sakih. On a mountain viewed bythe Balinese as the "belly-button" of the universe, Besakihis indisputably Bali's mostsacred temples, dating itshistory back to the 14th century.

In fact a complex oftwenty-two temples set onparallel mountain ridges, thedistinctive tiered meru roofs ofthe tens of lesser temples leadthe eyes to the main structure orPura Penataran Agung which, inturn, immediately draws themind and the eyes to the nearbysacred caldera of Mt. Agung.

While Besakih remains amajor tourist and spiritualdestination on the island of Bali,a Karangasem Regencyreligious leader recentlyexpressed to Bisnis Bali his viewthat all parties involved with thesacred temple, both religiousdevotees and tourist visitors,need to achieve a shared viewof the site and the important roleit plays in the island's culturaland religious life. I WayanArthadipa, the Chairman of theMajelis Madya Desa Pakraman

(MMDP) for Karangasem, saidthat Besakih's sacred status inBalinese society tends to mutet h e m a n y d e f i c i e n c i e ssurrounding the daily life ofBali's Mother Temple. Brandingit as unwise to remain silentwhile the image and reputationof the Temple suffers, he urgedlocal leaders and those chargedwith safeguarding the Temple to

have the courage totake the steps necessary torestore Besakih's spiritualand moral standing. Drivinghome his point, he said thatguides leading peoplethrough the complex must

always respect the sacrednature of the Temple, obey allrules already in place and notdefraud or coerce thosevisiting the site.

He also said that theconditions prevailing insidethe Temple are no lessimportant , po in t ing tocriticisms that are oftenh e a rd f ro m d e v o t e e sregarding questionable feesdemanded for mandatoryofferings. Arthadipa called for

transparency in how thefunds flowing in from varioussource to Besakih arehandled. "Besakih has bemanaged well, be organized,and handled in a neat andprofessional manner," hesaid. To do this, he added,the regency of Karangasema n d t h e p r o v i n c i a lgovernment must both beinvolved in order to oversee

Paul died peacefullyin his sleep agedn e a r l y t h r e e i nOctober.Paul the octopus, who shotto fame during the footballWorld Cup last year for his

flawless record in predictingthe outcome of games, willget a shrine to mark threemonths since he died, hisaquarium said.

The tentacled tipster will onThursday be honoured with a "PaulCorner" at his former home,containing his ashes and a "hugememorial", the centre in westernGermany said.

"There will be a statuearound 1.80 metres high of Paul, ontop of a football, in the middle ofwhich will be a see-through windowwith the golden urn containing

Paul's ashes," spokeswoman TanjaMunzig said.

Paul thrilled punters andcost bookmakers a small fortuneduring the World Cup in SouthAfrica by defying the odds to tipcor rect ly seven Germanmatches and Spain's 1-0triumph against the Netherlandsin the final.

For the prediction, twoboxes were lowered into thesalty soothsayer's tank, eachcontaining a mussel and the flagof the two opposing teams.

Watched by myriad

reporters, Paul would head toone box, wrench open the lid and

gobble the tasty morsel,with the box he plumped forbeing deemed the likely winner.

His astonishing abilitymade him a global mediap h e n o me n o n . H i s l a te rpredictions were carried live onrolling news channels in

Germany.He died peacefully in hissleep aged nearly three in

The whisky is believed to havebeen bottled in Scotland in1896 or 1897, making it amo ngthe oldest in the world.

Three bottles of whiskyabandoned in the Antarctic ice byBri t ish explorer Sir ErnestShackleton more than a century agohave returned home to Scotland.

The bottles of Mackinlay'swere part of a cache recovered lastyear from beneath Shackleton's

Antarctic hut, built in 1908 as part ofhis failed attempt to reach the SouthPole.

They made it home onMonday to Whyte and Mackay, thebrand's owner, for analysis to seehow they have fared after so longpreserved in the polar chill.

T h e w o o d e n c r a t econtaining the whisky, markedBritish Antarctic Expedition 1907,was frozen solid in the minus 30

d e g r e e s C e l s i u stemperatures but the whisky inthe bottles was still liquid.

Two more crates ofwhisky, along with two of brandy,were also discovered but theywere left under the floorboardsof the hut.

The whisky is believed tohave been bottled in Scotland in1896 or 1897, making it amongthe oldest in the world.

R i ch a r d P a te r so n ,Whyte and Mackay's masterblender, said the analysis wouldbe "for the benefit of the whiskyindustry".

"Never in the history ofour industry have we had acentury-old bottle of whiskystored in a natural fridge andsubjected to some of theharshest conditions on thisplanet," he said.

"It is an absolute honour

to be able to use myexperience to analyse thisamazing spirit."

For the next six weeks, thewhisky will be analysed, nosed andtasted in full laboratory conditions.

The Antarctic HeritageTrust shipped the crate toC a n t e r b u r y M u s e u m i nChristchurch, New Zealand, whereit was painstakingly thawed incontrolled conditions, allowing

historians to get to the bottlesinside.The bottles are so rare and

valuable that Whyte and Mackay'sowner, Vijay Mallya, personallycollected them and flew them backto Scotland.

"Shackleton made historywith his travels and adventures,and I am sure we will make historyourselves when we unlock themarvels of these unique 100-year-old time capsules," he said.

G'day again folks and welcome to this weeks babble. Now, Iknow this editorial is supposed to be about Bali, and it usually is,however, much to the editor's disgust, this week I want to start byoffering my deepest sympathy to all the flood victims back home inAustralia. I have been catching the news at the best place that has allthe satellite goody's (Kuta Townhouses) and have been watching withdisbelief at the sheer amount of water that has been falling from theskies. Entire houses have been washed away in some small countrytowns with complete herds of farming stock being drowned in the next.

The worst footage I saw was of a few horses that had been swimming around in a small town for so long thatthey simply succumb to exhaustion and drowned. Very upsetting stuff. I think the pub was even washedaway in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, and wouldn't that be terrible. I find it strange that there'sbeen absolutely bugger all rain for maybe 15 years with farmers doing it really hard for the most of that time,then we have almost 2 metres of water running over the same land now. Crazy stuff.

I did see a church group on the news praying at an outback church for the victims of the floods andtheir losses, and as the vicar was being interviewed, he explained that it was an act of god and for the mostpart of me, yes it is something that nature does from time to time, but I had to wonder to myself how theinsurance companies will handle it??? That dreaded term, act of god makes the hairs on the back of myneck stand up especially if I thought I had insurance on my lot. I think it's going to be a very long hard road forsome in Australia over the next few months and believe that all Australians should throw a few bucks into thecharity events that wil l be happening, so keep your eye out and don't be a tight arse. I remember when thebig tsunami's hit some time back, maybe 18 months ago, and I recall the Australian government sending aidand a big big swag of money to different governments to help out with the clean up and rebuilding, so Iwonder whether those same governments will be so quick to send some support or aid dollars back???Only time will tell.

Anyway, moving right along, I did get an email from one of our readers regarding last week's rambleabout the lost puppy, and with that in mind I firmly believe the Bali Micro Chipping System is a winner.The letter is as follows:

Hello Aliasj,I was very interested to read your article last week regarding the dog that went missing. I

experienced the same thing, when we moved to this beautif ul Island we brought our beloved GoldenRetriever, Barry with us (which was no cheap exercise I might add). Anyhow we did get Barrymicrochipped as we felt it was worth doing, and about 2 months later he went missing much to thedistress of myself and the whole family. About two days later we spotted him being walked bysome kids fro m a few blocks up who insi sted that he was there's and had been given to them by theiruncle, needless to say we contacted the Bali microchipping company who came out and verifiedthat the dog was ours, and thankfully Barry was returned to us st raight away without an argument.So I would recommend to anyone that loves their pet that it 's worth spending that little bit extra toget the microc hipping d one. By the way I really look forw ard to getting t he Kuta Weekly each weekand thoroughl y enjoy reading your articl e, keep up the good work. Kind Regards.

NAME WITHHELD as request ed

So there you have it, another happy reader, and thank you for the input. We do get alot of emailsregarding things on the island and am happy to publish what we can when we can, so keep them coming. Okpunters it's off to the watering hole for a few sherbets' and a yarn with good friends for the rest of the week, Ihope you all stay safe, happy and healthy till next week, and I will ask you all to remember, The Act of God designation on all insurance policies means roughly, that you cannot be insured for the accidents that aremost likely to happen to you.

Enjoy your week, ..

BOISE, ID QuickGem Staters, hidethe Biggie Smalls!The state of Idaho isbann ing h ip -hopmusic!

The Idaho StateL e g i s l a t u r e

unanimously passed abill on Friday thatprohibits anyone in thestate from playing hip-hop or rap.

Under the newlaw, anyone caught listening tohip-hop would be slapped with a$3,000 fine, or worse, could faceup to seven months in prison.

Legislators from the IdahoHouse of Reps said the decisionto ban hip-hop was based on astudy conducted by University ofIdaho scientists, which showedthat rap music can have adverseeffects on young listeners.

Rap music leads toviolence, said RepublicanSharon Maclean. So if you wantto get rid of the violence, you haveto get rid of rap music. It's thatsimple.

The law would also prohibitIdaho radio stations from playing

anything that resembleship-hop music, including reggae,techno, dancehall, and pop.

I'm just trying to raise myk i d s i n a w h o l e s o m eenvironment, said John Stiglitz, aresident of Boise and father oftwo, and if that means getting ridof rap music, then so be it.

It's a shame, though,added Stiglitz. I really enjoyed

Kanye's phat beats.Though the bill received

overwhe lming suppor t inCongress, some Gem Staters feelthat the new resolution is a blatantattack on hip-hop culture.

This is unfair, said MikeWilliams, a 23-year-old rapperhrough music. It's not violent. I've

f r o m N a m p awhose stage name isThuggy Bumpkins. Hip-hop is a way for people toexpress themselvesthrough music. It's notviolent. I've listened tohip-hop all my life, and noto n ce h a ve I d o n e

anything illegal.Williams, along

with other Idaho-basedrappers, launched acampaign against the billcalled Rappers Against

the Prohibition, or RAP. They'vealready organized severalprotests and rap-ins around thestate.

Our mission is to getpeople out in the streets, saidWilliams. Our voices need to beheard. This anti-rap bill is unfairand it must be stopped!

But despite the voices of

opposition, those in the IdahoState Legislature show no signsof backing down.

They can complain all theywant, said Democrat MarkHarping. But we're standing firmin our decision to ban rap. If theywant to beef, tell them to bring iton!

The residents of a small townin Britain have borrowed everysingle book from their locallibrary in an attempt to stop itfrom being closed.

At one stage during theweek, nearly 380 books werebeing stamped out on loanevery hour.

The campaign, called

'Wot No Books', wasorganised on Facebook byFriends of Stony Stratford Library.

The group says the protestaims to show the void that would

The District Head(Camat) for Kuta, I NyomanSuendi, told the forum that theCar Free Night which lastedonly for seven weeks wasimpeded by a lack ofinfrastructure and manpowerneeded to make the project asuccess. More guard andphysical barriers controllingaccess to the "pedestrian-

It remains unclear ifpolice or local administrators willrevisit the introduction of CarFree Nights in Kuta or allow theproject to become a footnote inthe history of Kuta's continuingattempts to deal with itsb u r g e o n i n g t o u r i s mdevelopment.

TAURUSThe coming weeks will bring an increasing planetaryfocus on your goals, especially those of a long-rangenature. Begin considering your options now, since withrecent events having ushered in dramatic changes, whatonce suited you might no longer be of interest, while othernew ideas could take centre stage.

GEMINIBeing intrigued by the latest developments just becausethey're fascinating is not universal. While you're alwaysinterested in learning about what's going on around you,not everybody is. And that's exactly what you're dealingwith now, which is an individual who's simply doesn't careabout matters that are of no direct, personal, influence.

CANCERBe wary of taking certain situations too seriously. True,what's decided or done will have considerable influenceon your life and the circumstances of others. However,your concern about doing things properly is giving someindividuals the impression you don't trust them, which is

very much not the case. Try to be more easygoing.

LEOThose around you are working themselves into a frenzyover details. But you're taking things less seriously.Actually, by the time that Mercury meets Pluto, planet oftruth and power struggles, early next week, you'll want toboth have your facts in order and make whatever plansare appropriate.

VIRGOSome of what's being discussed isn't just incorrect, it'sunfair. Ordinarily you'd be right to protest. But others aren'tas aware of the facts as you are, which could lead toconfusion, if not embarrassment. Difficult as listening tothem speak half-truths and saying nothing may be, it's thebest option.

LIBRAThe expectation that the changes triggered by theeclipsed New Moon, early last week, would be settledswiftly was somewhat optimistic. The repercussions willcontinue for some time. This slower pace is unsettling, butenables you to explore and weigh up your options beforeyou attempt to make a final decision.

SCORPIOHealing comes in many forms, and currently it's likely toinvolve regaining your sense of humour. You're taking onerather unfortunate situation far too seriously. Eventuallyyou'll recognise what was funny about it. The sooner youdo, the more swiftly you'll be able to move on, and put it allbehind you.

SAGITTARIUSWhen you kept financial or business matters to yourself, itwas only because you regarded them as so dull that youdidn't want to bother others. Unfortunately certainindividuals attached completely different, and far lessnoble, intentions to this. Explain now, and fully, or they'll beconvinced their suspicions were correct.

CAPRICORNNow that you've had a chance to reflect on theunexpected, if promising, events of the year's first week,your attitude is far more positive. The fact is, thesechanges aren't just necessary, they'll breathe new life intoexisting arrangements. The more swiftly you get them

going, the better for everybody concerned.

AQUARIUSGoing over old ground may not be your idea of fun. Butwith a series of errors surfacing as a result of recentmistakes or misunderstandings, you really have nochoice. This won't just untangle the problems in question,you'll also recognise the source of these errors and will putthings right.

PISCESBecause you're far more aware of your feelings thanothers, you often know more than they do about their innerworld or emotions. Bear this in mind now. It won't justexplain their rather bizarre reaction to certain stressfulsituations, you'll also deal with them with a combination oftact and wisdom.

Progressive Tax for PeopleOwning Multiple PrivateVehicles Opposed by BaliAutomotive Circles

L e a d e r s i n B a l iautomotive sector are predictingthat car sales will decline if theprovincial government's plan tointroduce a progressive tax on

vehicle ownership is introducedas planned in 2011.

The head o f AstraInternational's Diahatsu divisionin Bali, Oka Raidana, said thedecision to apply a 1.5%-3.5%tax on the selling price of avehicle for buyers owning morethan one vehicle will negativelyimpact on the buying power of thepublic.

Said Raidana, in additionto the progressive tax, the buyingpower of the public is also

i m p a c t e d b y t h eintroduction of a plan to limitgovernment subsidies forpremium grade gasoline.

These conditions, he toldthe state news agency Antara,are likely to affect the number ofnew cars sold in Bali, with thesize of that decline dependent onthe final actual amount of taximposed.

Of at least equal concernto the automotive sector,

according to Raidana, areindications that the tax charged onthe change of title ownership for acar will be increased by another10%.

Meanwhile, the managerof the Denpasar branch of Auto2000, Faris Henky Irawan, objectsto the planned progressive tax,

insisting it is the wrong way to tryto reduce the overcrowding onBali's roadways. Irawan predictsthat new rule will merely pushpeople to borrow names offriends and family members whenregistering a new vehicle.

Irawan said the mosteffective way of reducing trafficcongestion is to improve andexpand the public transportationsystem on the island which, in hisopinion, is completely inadequateto meet the public's need.

The World Cup is not theplace to blood playersespecially as the bloodf r om t h i s A us t r a l i ansummer is still warm.

Adding tattoos are greatwhen you are scoring runs ortaking wickets.

But without these vitalstatistics, the nakedness andinadequacies are all too apparent.

Okay, you lot in JolimontStreet, you can wake up now andtry to forget the colonel fromKentucky and the rep from thebrewery.

We have a World Cup towin.

The form of the Australianteam in the last twelve months hasbeen underwhelming in all forms,including the 50 over game. Theyscraped a 3-2 win over New

Zealand and lost 3-2 to England inJuly 2010.To compound matters,

they lost to Sri Lanka for the firsttime in Australia.

Even though Australia is afou r th favou r i t e w i th thebookmakers, they showedenough during Sunday's win thatthey can take a fifth World Cup.

Ricky Ponting remains theman to lead our defence. He hasearned the right to fail.

It is time to look beyond thestatistics and see who scoredwhat and against whom and underwhat pressure. Sometimes a lossis more instructive than a win.

B a t s m e n w h o h a v eimpressed in the last twelvemonths are Cameron White,David Hussey, Shane Watson andMichael Hussey.

B o w l e r s t h a t h a v eimpressed and are currently fit(Harris is excluded due to injury,as is Mitchell Starc. McKay and

Hast ings are a lsoinjured)) include Bollinger,Nannes, Tait and Lee.

Watson doubles up inthis category.

For those that discountTait, just hark back to the look ofdisbelief on Strauss's facewhen he was cleaned up lastyear. That delivery was timed at161.1 kmh and only marginallyslower than the 161.3recorded by Akhtar.

Tait is the only one of hiskind in the world and there is nobatsman who is confident whenthe Wild Thing is not so wild.

Bollinger was expensiveand is struggling to get above135 kph. I think he has missedthe plane.

Lee was economical inMelbourne and maintained hispace in the death overs. He is

rusty but remains a provenperformer. His fielding and lateorder batting place him wellahead of Bollinger.

The premier 50 oversall-rounder remains JamesHopes and he rarely plays a badgame for Australia. Christian isa contender and could be thesurprise packet if selected.

Of all the spinners, thereis only room for Nathan Hauritzand the rest of the spinningduties will have to be borne byDavid Hussey and Steve Smith.

Nannes is seen as aTwenty20 specialist, as isO'Keefe, so they will not be partof the World Cup squad. Earlywickets are a key in the sub-continent and Johnson, Lee,Tait and Siddle could be vital .

The omission of Siddleand Hauritz from Sunday'sgame suggests they are on theplane to India. Johnson wasalso originally rested from this

No room for Clarke in Australia's World Cup squadgame and in spite of his

idiosyncrasies will go to theWorld Cup. His football skillsare sublime, as was evident inhis runout o f KP.

This brings me to myWorld Cup First XI in battingorder:Watson,Haddin,Ponting (c)

White,HusseyD,HusseyM,Hopes, Hauritz, Johnson, Lee

, TaitThe other four spots to

Callum Ferguson, Siddle, SteveSmith and James Pattinson.

The history of the WorldCup, especially in the sub-continent, suggests that one ortwo of the top six batsmen hasto bowl at least five serviceableovers. Think Aravinda De Silvain 1996 and Steve Waugh in1987.

Watson and Dav id

Hussey can fill this role.In fact, I see the Husseybrothers and Shane Watson asthe most important men in theAustralian line-up. Michael gotAustralia back on course afterClarke had scratched aroundfor 36 of 57 balls.

Michael Clarke has beenout of form all summer and I donot believe he can turn it aroundin four weeks.

David Hussey got the firsttwo wickets and stalledEngland, just as they werelooking to run away from

Australia.Steven Smith did not

harm his chances with thewickets of Bell and Morgan, andthough he failed as a pinchhitter, he would have learnt fromthe pressure. In a largely sloppyfielding display, he wasAustralia's best.

The most glaring omissionI have made is Michael Clarkeand I cannot see any justificationfor his inclusion.

He is badly out of formand needs to go away andcome back a better player. Hisreluctance to bowl also limitsAustralia's options. But if theselections run to form, thenClarke will be included andpossibly at the cost of

someone like David Husseyor Callum Ferguson.Anointing captains in waitingis a dangerous practice andCricket Australia may rue theday they marked MichaelClarke as the next captain.

Tim Paine misses out in mysquad even though he is a betterkeeper. Haddin was untidy onSunday, but his batting can wingames for Australia and with

more game time, Haddin'swork to the spinners will improve.

Michael Hussey will haveto double as a keeper shouldHaddin get injured.

Karmichael Hunt hasrevealed his concernso v e r t h e B r i s b a n eB r o n c o s ' d i r e c t i o nfollowing mentor WayneBennett's move souths p a r k e d h i s s h o c k

signing wi th the AFL.Preparing for Gold CoastSuns' AFL debut in April, Huntindicated he'd still be playing inthe NRL if the Broncos hadcontinued to run their operations

like they had underlong-time coach Bennett, whoswitched to St George Illawarralate in 2008.

The former Test andQueensland fullback told AlphaMagazine he lost faith and anemotional attachment to theclub after a contract meetingwith former chief executiveBruno Cullen, football managerPeter Nolan and new coachIvan Henjak in early 2009.

It was nothing like thetalks I'd had previously, whenWayne had been there, Hunttold Alpha.

What was said in therereally struck a nerve with meand got me thinking about theway things were being run andthe way I was being treated.

That meeting endedmy days as a diehard Broncosfan and player.

From there I was ableto step back and look ateverything objectively. Theemotion was gone.

After starting for theBroncos at 17, Hunt played 126matches in the NRL over sixseasons before leaving theclub on a three-year AFL deal inexcess of $3 million, more thantwo-and-a-half t imes theamount he would havereceived at Brisbane.

I still have a lot of

friends at the club, but there'sno doubt the Broncos club I leftat the end of 2009 was verydifferent to the club I arrived atin 2004, the 24-year-old said.

Looking back, thetiming was probably perfect.

People laugh, but itwas never about the money forme. I genuinely felt I hadachieved everything I had set

out to achieve in myrugby league career.

I just liked the idea oftaking on a challenge I knewmost people would think wasridiculous.

With 12 weeks to gobefore the Suns play theirinaugural match againstCarlton on April 2, Hunt hastrimmed down below 90kg,eight kilos lighter than when heplayed French rugby union forBiarritz nine months ago.

He has also givenhimself a strong chance oflining up in defence in thehistoric match at the Gabba byimproving his aerobic fitness,now running 2km time trials inseven minutes.

T o p u t t h a t i nperspective, most of yoursmall forwards and defendersand some of the half-forwardswould be around that mark,said Suns assistant coach andNorm Smith Medallist ShaunHart.

I don't have any doubthe will get his fitness andrunning to a level which willallow him to play good minutesthrough the midfield.

Hawthorn premiershipplayer Campbell Brown, nowat Gold Coast, said Hunt'sdetermination made himconfident his Suns' teammatewould be a success in the AFL.

I have always saidShane Crawford was the mostdetermined player I had everseen, said Brown.

I see a lot of theattributes which made Crawfso special in K.

He won't let himselffail.

Canber ra -bound . . .Former Sea Eagles halfMatt Orford will be backin th e NRL in 2011English Super Leaguec l u b B r a d f o r d h a sconfirmed the departureof Australian half-backM a t t O r f o r d t o t h eCanberra Raiders.

Orford, 32, who hasagreed to join the Raiders inthe NRL for 2011, only

signed with the Bulls in Januarylast year.

The star signing suffered ashoulder injury in the UK midwaythrough last season and hassecured an early release from histhree-year contract, with the Bullsrefusing to clarify why they haveallowed his departure.

"There are valid but strictlyconfidential reasons why MattOrford is unable to return to the UK

which were unknown to the

club last summer when we agreedto his going home for surgery to hisdamaged shoulder, rather thanhave the operation here whichwould have been more usual,"Bulls chairman Peter Hood said.

" W i t h t h e p l a y e r ' spermission these reasons havebeen shared in confidence with theRFL.

"The issues that previouslyexisted are now 'water under the

bridge' - both theclub and the player can geton with the rest of theirlives.

"The club is free toregister a replacementplayer and Matt, who Iunderstand has made acomplete recovery fromhis shoulder operation,can resume his career inAustralia."

Orford enjoyed a

memorable season in 2008when he captained Manly tovictory over his former club theMelbourne Storm in the NRLgrand final and won the Dally MPlayer Of the Year.

T h e e x p e r i e n c e dplaymaker will fill the void left atthe Raiders by star five-eighthTerry Campese, who is expectedto miss the majority of 2011 witha knee injury.

New Zealand will look to bat outthe first session of the fourth dayof the second Test againstPakistan and then assess itsoptions after bowling out thevisitors for 376 shortly beforestumps on day three.

The hosts were nine withoutloss at the close of the third day'splay after Pakistan ended itsinnings with a lead of 20 runs at theBasin Reserve.

Brendon McCullum (6) andMartin Guptill (1) safely negotiatedthe five overs they needed to face toensure New Zealand would beginthe fourth day with an 11-run deficitand looking to force the pace of thegame.

With the Kiwis looking tolevel the series, pace bowler ChrisMartin said the side would adopt aflexible approach on the fourth

morning."I suppose we turn up and

all the cliches will ring true in themorning, about batting that sessionand seeing where we're at," Martinsaid.

"It depends how much timewe have in the game and how far weget with the run rate.

"I know there will be anopportunity for Dan (Vettori) tocome into the game quite strongly

on that last afternoon."Pakistan lead the two-

match series 1-0 after a 10-wicketvictory in Hamilton. They have notwon a Test series since they beatWest Indies 2-0 at home inNovember 2006.

Captain Misbah-ul-Haq hadled from the front for Pakistan,falling one run short of his third Testcentury and having shared in a 142-run partnership with Younus Khan(73).

The 36-year-old skipperhad been incredibly patient as heclawed his way to 99 off 206 balls,but shuffled across his stumps to tryto force a Martin delivery to the leg-side only to be hit in front and givenout lbw.

Martin, who had bowled animpressive spell between lunch andtea without reward, captured 4 for

91 while New Zealand captainDaniel Vettori finished with 4 for100.

The day was marred by ahint of controversy with Younusgiven out caught in close by JesseRyder for 73 off Vettori on the finalball before the tea break.

Television replays showedthe ball had ballooned off Younus'spad, without touching his bat, toRyder at forward short leg.

North Melbourne ruckmanH a m i s h M c I n t o s h i s

expected to be sidelined fort w o m o n t h s f o l l o w i n gsurgery on his right Achillestendon.

The AFL club's medicalspokesman Steve Saunders saidWednesday morning's operationhad gone according to plan at aprivate hospital in Kew.

After playing 20 games in2010 for a career total of 99, the26-year-old from Lavington inNSW attended North's high-altitude training camp in Utah butwas unable to train much with the

squad because of Achillessoreness."North Melbourne medical

staff were pleased with McIntosh'sprogress over the preseason butbelieved this minor operationwould help speed up hisrecovery," the club said in astatement.

The Kangaroos are hopingMcIntosh can return to full fitnessto push Todd Goldstein for the

number one ruckposition in the side.

In more positive news,key big man Drew Petrie isrecovering well from footinjuries in a bid to be ready forthe club's round-one trip toPerth to play West Coast onMarch 27.

"I've had needles andphysiotherapy but nothing hasworked to the extent we'dhoped for," McIntosh saidearlier this week.

"If we opt for anoperation, I really just want tohave it as soon as possible so Ican get back playing."

Donald named NZbowling coach

Former South Africanpaceman Allan Donald hasbeen appointed as NewZealand's bowling coach on ashort-term contract until theend of the World Cup.

New Zealand Cricketchief executive Justin Vaughansaid Donald's experience

would be a positive for theBlack Caps, whose support staff

have been revamped since JohnWright was appointed headcoach in December.

The 44-year-old recentlyfinished a stint as head coach ofZimbabwe domestic side theMountaineers and has previouslyworked with English county sideWarwickshire and the Englandnational side as bowling coach.

Vaughan said Donald,

who took 330 Test wickets forSouth Africa, would join thesquad in Wellington this weekahead of Saturday's first one-dayinternational against Pakistan.

E s s e n d o n c o a c hJ a m e s H i r d s a y stac t ical ly i t wouldmake sense if theAFL's new substituterule forced midfieldersto spend more time upforward this season.

All clubs will field

t h r e e i n t e r c h a n g ep l a y e r s a n d o n esubstitute this season,with the sub able to beused at any time and theplayer he replaces not eligible toreturn to the field.

Hird said that Richmondcoach Damien Hardwick wasprobably right on the moneywhen he suggested last weekthat star midfielders were likely toplay more minutes in 2011.

He's a smart man. He(Hardwick) is probably right, Hirdsaid on Wednesday.

More midfielders wouldspend some time up forward,that would make sense, justbecause there's one player lessto rotate through (midfield).

Hardwick, a formerBombers team-mate of Hird's,also feels the second-ruckmanposition could come underthreat but clubs will just have tosee how things develop during

next month's pre-season NAB

Cup.It won't change my

coaching style because Ihaven't coached before,said Hird, flashing a boyishgrin.

It will be different.There will be less rotations.

Certainly the game

will change a little bit becauseof it but who knows how it willchange?

We're trying to thinkthrough that at the present.

Hird sounded a warning toback-up ruckmen, saying theyneeded to be versatile with onlythree interchange players allowedon the bench.

It depends who they are. Ifthey can play forward they'redefinitely not (under threat), if theycan play back they're not, he said.

But if all they can do is ruckmaybe they're in a bit of trouble.

Hird tips midfielders to go forward

Mining magnate NathanTinkler has drastically uppedhis bid for the NewcastleKnigh ts NRL team from $10mto $100m over ten years, andcould be the white knight ofNewcastle spo rt.

T h e o w n e r o f t h eNewcastle Jets is looking tocement his ownership ofNewcastle's premier sportingbrands, and is offering the

Knights long-term financialstability, willing to wipe theclub's $3m debts.

Two months ago, Tinkleroffered $10 million to take overthe licence, an offer rejected atthe time by Knights chairmanRob Tew.

Tew, said he would takeTinkler's offer to a board

meet ing tomorrownight. Other confidentialfunding options for thestruggling club have beenrumoured, although areunlikely to match Tinkler.

Our responsibility is toact in the best interest of ourmembers, Tew said. I'm notsure this is the best proposal.We have had a number ofinterests since Nathan made

the last offer public throughthe media.

T i n k l e r S p o r t sexecutive chairman KenEdwards said the upgradedo f f e r s a t i s f i e d t h erequirements of the Knights,and that the increase insponsorship was not the limitof their commitment.

'Nathan has done very

well in business and iscontinuing to do well,'' MrEdwards said.

''This a genuine attemptby Nathan to put back into thec o mmu n i t y i n a r e a l l ymeaningful way, throughfamilies, through children andthrough sport.''

The Tinkler Group hasalso held talks with the NBLabout reviving a team in the

Hunter, after the failure of theNewcastle Falcons during the90s, and the Hunter Pirates in2006.

It is widely perceived thatthe offer will be strongly backedby the community, who haveseen the resurgence both onand off the field of theNewcastle Jets.

Manly look to rookie flair for 2011 spark

See Our Voucher on 32

Manly will look to theyoungest halves pairingin the NRL to deliversome excitement andflair in the upcomingNRL season.

Two seasons af ter

leading Manly's Toyota Cupteam to the minor premiership,Kieran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans will become the elitec o m p e t i t i o n ' s l e a s texperienced duo.

Not that either player istoo concerned.

They're more interestedin providing the spark forManly's attack and helping the2008 premiers get back ontrack after two straight years offirst week finals exits.

Hopefully a bit of flair

and exci tement , Forangrinned when asked what thepair will offer Manly this year.

Daly's that kind of playerwhere he'll chance his arm,he'll look after that structuralstuff and just allow me to kind ofplay my game a little bi t wider.

This is just real lyexciting I think.

O n l y C a n t e r b u r y ' shalves pairing of 22-year-olds

Kris Keating and TrentHodkinson compares to theyouth Manly will put on displayin 2011.

At just 20, Foran isalready taking his place as thesenior partner ahead of 21-year-old Cherry-Evans and it's

a role he admits will take somegetting used to.(I've only played) 30

games or so and I feel I've gotto take Daly under the wingthere, but I'm looking forward toit, Foran added.

With Daly coming inhe's probably going to be a littlebit standoffish these first fewgames, I've got to take theresponsibility there and lead(the senior) guys around.

(But) he's really capableof stepping up and doing a

good job.It is the second time injust 12 months the Sea Eagleshave been forced to play with arookie halves combination,after Hodkinson was handedthe role last year following thedeparture of former captainMatt Orford.

Hodkinson blossomedunder the pressure, pushinghimself into representative

football with a City Origincall-up before accepting alucrative three-year deal withCanterbury worth a rumoured$280,000.

Manly skipper JamieLyon believes Cherry-Evans ison the verge of having a similar

impact on the competition thisyear.I think he'll have just as

big an impact as Trent if notbigger, Lyon said.

I don't want to put toomuch pressure on him but weare quietly confident that hecan do a great job.

He's a very goodorganiser, he's got good ballskills and a great kickinggame. He's very quick off themark.

He's going to be a great

halfback for us I think.With Cherry-Evans andForan confirmed as Manly'sstarting halves pairing for thes e a s o n - o p e n e r w i t hMelbourne, Lyon is hopeful ofplaying out the 2011 season inhis preferred centre position.

I'm pretty sure I'll be inthe centres, that's where Iprefer. Hopefully I can staythere the whole season, hesaid.

Lions swap oars for SherrinsThe only way the BrisbaneLions thought they wouldresume AFL pre-seasonwork on Thursday morningwas with oars.

But L ions p layersamazingly spent a much-needed two-hour ballworksession on a suburban field thatwas expected to go under in thesouth-east Queensland'sdevastating flood.

Only 16 hours afterassessing alternative trainingvenues in the state such as theGold Coast and Cairns as thecapital city flooded, the Lions hita dry Giffin Park paddock insummer sunshine at 8:30am.

If the Brisbane River hitthe 5.5m peak expected, theirsecond home, which bordersNorman Creek, would havebeen completely submerged.

But the lower 4.5m peak

recorded just before sunriseallowed the Lions' footballdepartment to hastily arrangethe session.

"Yesterday I thoughtwe'd need a boat and anoutboard to get out here,"football general manager Dean

Warren said."I fully expected to get

here this morning and it wouldbe totally under water,particularly if it reached thel e v e l s t h e y o r i g i n a l l yexpected.

"Last night we thoughtthere would be no way in the

world we could train."We've been lucky."Also fortunate was St

Kilda recruit Xavier Clarkewho was forced to sandbagand evacuate his home atBulimba near the BrisbaneRiver, but the flood watersspared his residence.

"I was pretty close tothe water and made sure I wassafe and cautionary by gettingmy stuff out and stayed atAmon Buchanan's place," hesaid.

Lions chairman Angus

Johnson was not so lucky withhis riverside Yeronga homeinundated after many playersand staff helped with hissalvage efforts.

As well as the Lions,Brisbane's other winterfootball teams - the BrisbaneBroncos and Queensland

20 Jan - 26 Jan 2011 (217)
