Sourav Ganguly, the chairman of BCCIs technical committee, has said his committee didnt make the decision to reschedule the two postponed Delhi fixtures. Gangulys claims contradict those of the BCCI, which had suggested the technical committee had taken the decision.The Technical Committee of the BCCI recognised the extraordinary circumstances prevailing in Delhi and decided to reschedule the Ranji Trophy 2016-17 fifth round matches between Hyderabad-Tripura and Gujarat-Bengal after the first two days of play were lost due to smog conditions in New Delhi, the BCCI had stated in its press release dated November 6.Ganguly, however, maintained the technical committee had little to do with the decision. This was not decided by technical committee. This was put forward to the technical committee by BCCI, he told ESPNcricinfo. However, when pointed out the BCCI couldnt have made the decision had his committee not agreed to it, Ganguly said: yes, true.While ESPNcricinfos attempts to contact BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke didnt yield a response, a board source said it was a collective decision to reschedule the matches and that due process was followed.The decision to reschedule the fixtures meant the Group A clash between Gujarat and Bengal and the Group C game between Hyderabad and Tripura would now be played four days after the completion of the final round, from December 15 to 18, in Visakhapatnam and Kolkata respectively. This move led to protests from the Mumbai Cricket Association and the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association against the unfair advantage extended to the teams playing in the rescheduled games.TNCA secretary Kasi Viswanathan had said the matches in question shouldnt be rescheduled, and that the points should be shared retrospectively. In a league stage you cannot do this; it will be a disadvantage to the other teams. It is an act of God, and you should have only shared points, he told ESPNcricinfo.Ganguly, however, defended the decision and said it was made before the permutations for the knockouts came into the picture. The decision was done then only, at the start of the season, which was two or three matches old, he said. If you look at the start of the Ranji season there are some teams who started early, some teams who started late. I dont know how it gives them unfair advantage; you still have to win a cricket match. Gujarat, in any case, will qualify because they have beaten everyone.Mumbai currently lead the standings in Group A with 26 points, while Gujarat, with 21 points, are two points behind second-placed Tamil Nadu. In Group C, the top-three teams are separated by only three points. While table-topper Andhra and third-placed Haryana have two more matches remaining, Hyderabad has an extra game against Tripura, who are in the bottom half.The rescheduling of games has also forced BCCI to push back the knockout matches. The quarter-finals, initially scheduled to begin on December 17, will now be held from December 24 to 28. The semi-finals were moved from December 27 to January 3, while the final, originally set to be played from January 7, will now take place from January 12 to 16.

It was only a matter of time before American Ninja Warrior tapped into college rivalries, which is exactly what the franchise did with the spin-off Team Ninja Warrior: College Madness. ?The series, which premieres on Tuesday on the Esquire Network, will run for five episodes and be a team-based obstacle course competition featuring undergraduate and graduate students racing head-to-head.Whereas American Ninja Warrior is strictly individuals, Team Ninja Warrior pits teams of three (two men, one woman) against each other in a race of speed and agility. There are upper-body tests on the course, but the Team Ninja Warrior courses are about who can finish the fastest, rather than if an athlete can finish at all. This makes for a completely different environment for athletes and viewers alike.College Madness is a new twist on a previously successful formula for Esquire, which spawned Team Ninja Warrior last year. As Ninja Warrior becomes more popular, it wouldnt be a stretch for college students to be familiar with it, but that certainly wasnt the case for all of the women competing on the forthcoming show.It wasnt on my radar, contestant Melissa Hill said in a recent phone interview. Hill, 22, who is originally from Sorrento, Florida, is a University of Florida graduate student and competitive climber. Hill joined Floridas team at the behest of her teammates and fellow climbers, Dane Brooks and Garrison Kalvin.My first thought was ... No way would we ever get on this show, Hill said with a laugh. She applied with Brooks and Kalvin, and the rest is history.Ninja Warrior, however, was most definitely on the radar of Emma Beserra, 19, a power lifter and TCU student. My whole family watches it, she said over the phone.Originally from The Woodlands, Texas, Beserra was a competitive cheerleader throughout high school, and in college she started to lift and do other forms of fitness. Shes been on TV before as well, having run the BattleFrog College Championship, which aired on ESPNU and ESPN2. At TCU, Beserra works at the rec center, and unlike Hill she did not know her teammates well prior to the show.We didnt meet them until we got to school, and we had to fly out [to Los Angeles] the next week, Beserra noted.Though not thought of as a traditional background sport for ninjas, cheer has strong representation in this first episode of College Madness. University of Georgia studeent Victoria Case,19, is a former cheerleader for the Bulldogs, as is fellow UGA competitor Doug Legg.dddddddddddd She also played softball and rode horses when she was younger. The fashion merchandising major and Georgia native also noted that she is a die-hard [Bulldogs] sports fan.Hill, who is studying ecology, started climbing just after matriculating at the University of Florida. She grew up playing golf but doesnt consider herself a traditional sports fan. Im sports indifferent, she said. After realizing that she didnt want to play golf in college, Hill had a hole in her life that she ended up filling with climbing.Fun was something I had been missing in golf, because I was burnt out on it, Hill said.As with climbing, pole vaulting has a reputation within the ninja community for spawning successful competitors, especially women. ANW superstar Jessie Graff pole vaulted at Georgia Tech and the University of Nebraska. Fellow ninja Meagan Martin was a pole vaulter at Vanderbilt. Cassie Craig, who is an up-and-coming female ninja, was also a pole vaulter.?Haley Houston,19, a sophomore at the University of Houston, hopes to join that legacy. The Austin, Texas, native is studying kinesiology and wants to be a physical therapist. She started pole vaulting in middle school, which is relatively rare, as not many middle schools have pole vaulting programs, and she still vaults at Houston. Coincidentally, she also participated in cheerleading.Houston watched American Ninja Warrior previously but did not have plans to try to get on one of the shows.It was an accident, she said in a phone interview.Houston was inadvertently recruited by her teammate and ninja enthusiast Zach Tamayo while working at the campus recreation center. He told Houston about how he needed a woman to compete on his team, and she volunteered. It was as simple as that. Houston was familiar with the kinds of obstacles on the show and figured she could do well.Obstacles, however, can be harder than they appear. This is really, really hard, Houston added.And that they are. The show promises to bring the same level of intensity to the competition as ANW, with a dash of that old college try!Team Ninja Warrior: College Madness premieres on Esquire Network on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET ' ' '
