Jimmy Kamande: throwing starLONDON: The cricket World Cup was hit by a throwing row here on Thursday - but organisers were still able to breathe a huge sigh of relief. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that Jimmy Kamande, a 20-year-old medium pacer from Kenya, was reported for throwing against Zimbabwe at Taunton on May 15.They will have been delighted, however, that Sri Lanka's star performer MuttiahMuralitharan, whose bowling action has caused a bitter split in the sport in recent years, was not involved.Botham still sore about '92LONDON: Former England great Ian Botham is still grimacing from the pain of losing the 1992 World Cup final to Pakistan - and he blames then captain Graham Gooch for the failure. "We were the best team by a league in that World Cup, but we were burnt out," England's greatest ever all-rounder said. "We'd had a hard tour of New Zealand and, instead of having a rest in the two weeks before the World Cup, we were made to play stupid andmeaningless games of cricket among ourselves. The result was that the little injuries and niggles didn't go away. The management got it all wrong. Mainly Graham Gooch. Lance Klusener eyes EnglandLONDON: While all the hype during South Africa's World Cup build-up centred around established stars like Jonty Rhodes, Allan Donald and Jacques Kallis, few were taking much notice of Lance Klusener. Yet privately the South African squad - almost to a man - would single out the ultra-competitive all-rounder as the key figure in their campaign. And England, who face South Africa at the Oval on Saturday, should beware - because Klusener says he is only just getting into his stride. Nicknamed `Zulu' because he speaks the language fluently after growing up in the rural KwaZulu-Natal area, has a growing reputation as an international cricket hitman.
